Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

It was a double happiness day.

Because Xiulan in the mansion gave birth, the whole mansion was rewarded with two months' worth of bonus money.

Now that my mother-in-law has given birth successfully, Gu Xiling has rewarded the entire mansion with two months' worth of monthly wages.

This made all the servants in the mansion very happy, as this was a reward from the Crown Prince's wife.

When the old lady returns home later, she will definitely give rewards.

As expected, the old lady was even more generous after she came back.

Xiulan gave birth smoothly and was rewarded with three months' bonus; Song gave birth smoothly and was rewarded with another three months' bonus.

On this day, all the servants in the mansion received a year's salary, which was more festive than the Chinese New Year.

The servants worked even more carefully, wishing that there would be happy events in Changning Marquis' Mansion every day.

The next day, Zhou Jin went to the palace in person to report to Emperor Kangping.

Emperor Kangping also received a secret report last night that Lai Fu led several tribes and the northern army to attack from the front and back and won a great victory.

He is currently gathering the remaining tribes. Although he has not ascended the throne, he has become the true ruler of Beirong.

Today, Emperor Kangping received a report from Zhou Jin saying that Lai Fu's wife Xiulan had given birth to a healthy boy, and he was very happy.

"Good, very good!" Emperor Kang Ping praised, "Zhou Jin, Xiulan's safe delivery is largely due to the contribution of Changning Marquis' Mansion. Now that Xiulan is in confinement, please take good care of her."

Zhou Jin agreed, "Whether it's for official or private reasons, Changning Marquis' Mansion will do its best to take care of Xiulan and her son."

"Have you sent any letter to Lai Fu?" asked Emperor Kangping.

Zhou Jin replied: "After Xiulan gave birth yesterday, I sent a letter to my father. I believe my father will tell Lai Fu the news."

Emperor Kangping nodded, "It is indeed very good."

After Zhou Jin left the palace, he returned to work in the Agriculture Department.

Emperor Kangping stopped reviewing memorials and came to Fengqi Palace.

The Empress immediately stood up to greet him, "Your Majesty, at this hour, you are reviewing memorials, how come you have time to come to my place?"

Emperor Kangping took the Empress' hand and sat down inside. "Empress, Xiulan gave birth to a child yesterday. Lai Fu has gradually taken control of Beirong. Lai Fu is about to become the King of Beirong, but Xiulan is only a maid, not qualified to take on the responsibility of being the Queen of Beirong."

When the Queen heard this, she was slightly startled, then smiled, "Your Majesty, I only have one child, the Crown Prince, and I have always wanted to have a daughter. Seeing that Xiulan is quiet and elegant, I want to adopt a daughter. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Kangping looked at the Empress, nodded and smiled, "Very good!"

The Queen sighed, "Ah, if Xueying was more obedient, such a good thing would also be her turn."

Emperor Kangping shook his head, thinking of the news from Jinlinwei, his face suddenly darkened, "Some people are always greedy, apart from Xueying's royal family status, they are useless."

The Queen was melancholy, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The truth will always come out. We can sit back and relax."

Emperor Kang Ping nodded, "I hope so."

Not long after, the Queen's decree was delivered to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, accompanied by the eunuchs and female officials surrounding the Queen.

Gu Xiling was visiting Xiulan when she learned that the Queen's decree had arrived.

Mrs. Song is in confinement after giving birth and it is not convenient for her to come out.

The old lady and Gu Xiling immediately changed into the auspicious robes and set up the incense table.

After listening to the eunuch's reading, the old lady and Gu Xiling looked at each other and realized that they had guessed it right.

Xiulan was canonized as Princess Kanghe, and was waiting for Lai Fu to become the King of Beirong so that they could marry her.

Gu Xiling received the imperial decree on behalf of Xiulan, and then brought Lady Official Tang to the courtyard where Xiulan was.

The courtyard is quiet and the servants are silent, doing things quietly and well-trained.

Tang, the female official, secretly noted that this Changning Marquis's mansion was indeed unusual. There were no extravagant decorations for beautiful women, but it was quiet and elegant everywhere.

When Xiulan learned that she was named Princess Kanghe, she was dumbfounded. She thought she was dreaming and pinched her thigh hard.

He used too much force and it hurt so much that Xiulan was about to cry.

"Madam Sir, is this...is this true?" Xiulan asked stutteringly.

Gu Xiling supported Xiulan, "Of course it's true."

Hearing Gu Xiling's words, Xiulan immediately got off the bed, ignoring the pain in her body, and kowtowed towards the direction of the palace, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen."

Lady Tang stepped forward and quickly helped Xiulan up. "The Queen is worried that you are weak after giving birth, so she gave the decree to the Crown Prince's wife and asked her to pass it on to you."

The Tang female official presented the imperial edict.

Xiulan was helped up and sat back down. She opened the imperial edict and understood everything clearly. She felt mixed emotions.

She understood why the court did this, it was to win over Lai Fu, and she also hoped that in this way, the two countries would be at peace forever and would never fight again.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your consideration." Xiulan thanked.

The Tang court lady reminded, "Princess, you can no longer call her the Empress, but Mother Queen and Father Emperor."

Hearing this, Xiulan was startled, her face slightly red, and she stammered, "Thank you, father...father, mother."

She was a commoner and a slave, but now she has transformed herself into a princess.

Such a change really shocked Xiulan.

But Xiulan also understood that all this was because of Lai Fu.

The more Kangguo values ​​her, the more it proves that Lai Fu is in power in Beirong, and that Lai Fu is becoming more and more secure.

Ms. Tang took two palace maids and lived in the Changning Marquis' Mansion. On the one hand, she took care of Xiulan, and on the other hand, she handled the affairs of welcoming and seeing off guests for Xiulan.

When Xiulan was named Princess Kanghe, almost all the nobles and high-ranking officials in the capital sent gifts to the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

These gifts are all given to Princess Kanghe.

The female officials of the Tang Dynasty were registered, recorded and placed in the warehouse.

Nanny Yuan handed these matters over to the female official Tang, who was responsible for taking care of everything surrounding Xiulan, no matter how big or small.

Even Xiaobao looks better than when he was just born. The red color has faded and he has really become a white and chubby boy.

Those narrow eyes, single eyelids, round face and round nose are simply a replica of Lai Fu.

Nanny Yuan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Nanny Yuan was becoming more and more relaxed, Xiulan asked curiously, "Godmother, I gave birth to Xiaobao safely before, why are you still so nervous?"

Nanny Yuan smiled, wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes, and handed Xiaobao to Xiulan's arms. "I see that Xiaobao looks more and more like Laifu. I am not nervous anymore. I am completely relieved."

Xiulan blinked her eyes, looking puzzled. "Godmother, this is Lai Fu's child. Even if he doesn't look alike, can't he recognize him? Doesn't that mean he's suspecting me of not being faithful to my husband?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yuan shook her head and laughed, "Laifu, it's not you who will be suspected of not being a virtuous woman, but others. When Laifu arrived in Beirong, he had a biological mother. After Laifu became the King of Beirong, she became the Queen Mother. If the child you give birth to doesn't look like Laifu, she will be suspicious, and you are a Kang countryman, so you will be rejected."

"Laifu was forced to leave her when he was very young. When the Queen Mother saw that Xiaobao looked like Laifu, she would transfer her feelings to Xiaobao. Because of Xiaobao, she would not reject you or doubt you. As a daughter-in-law, life would be much easier without a mother-in-law who deliberately finds fault."
