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

"I promise you, the position of the Grand Princess will be left to Xiulan." The Grand Princess replied, "We have to give Kangguo face. As for whether she can hold her own, that depends on her ability."

Lai Fu was worried, but he would protect Xiulan, "Thank you, mother."

The princess shook her head. "No need to thank me. If she can't adapt to Beirong and can't fulfill her duties as a princess, she won't live long. Anyway, you take care of yourself."

Lai Fu was shocked, "Mother, when the time comes, please help Xiulan. My son is in Beirong, and he and Xiulan are truly in love. They got married, hoping to be together for life, but fate played tricks on me. I didn't expect that I would have such an identity."

"I broke my promise after all. It took me a long time to adapt to Beirong as a strong man, let alone a woman like Xiulan. Mother, please do it for your son's good. Don't make things difficult for her. Help her."

The eldest princess was startled, then nodded, "Okay! I see happiness in your eyes. Just based on this, I will treat her well and save her life."

After the eldest princess left, Lai Fu felt melancholy and longing for her lingered in his heart. He began to write back to Marquis Changning.

The letter thanked the Marquis's care and His Majesty's kindness.

He also wrote a letter personally and asked Marquis Changning to pass it to the emperor of Kangguo, expressing his intention of eternal submission.

When Changning Hou received Lai Fu's letter, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Very good! In three months, it will be done."

Marquis Changning was also eager to finish these tasks as soon as possible, return to Beijing and reunite with his family.

The "Jin" in the eldest son Zhou Jin's name means beautiful jade.

Marquis Changning named his youngest son Zhou Jue.

Jue means two pieces of jade put together.

On the one hand, I hope Zhou Jue can get along well with his eldest brother and work together as brothers.

On the other hand, I hope that Zhou Jue can be better than Zhou Jin and become stronger and stronger.

This name was chosen by Marquis Changning after much consideration.

In addition, Lai Fu also named his eldest son "Habur" because he was born in the beautiful spring.

This name also embodies Lai Fu’s wish that everything is a good start.

When Xiulan saw the letter sent by Lai Fu, her eyes turned red.

This is my son Xiaobao’s full name, Habul.

Nanny Yuan advised: "Xiu Lan, you should be happy. At least Lai Fu has already secured the title of Grand Princess for you, and Bei Rong has learned of your identity as a princess, so this position can only be yours."

Xiulan nodded, "Godmother, I know, this is my fate. Since I am powerless to change it, I have to adapt to it. Fight for myself and for my son."

"Madam Crown Prince arranged for me to learn to speak the Northern Rong language and write in the Northern Rong language. It will definitely come in handy in the future."

Nanny Yuan smiled and said, "That's the right way to think about it, Xiulan. Good days are ahead of you. You gave birth and your body is recovering well. But the child is still young, and Beirong is not completely stable yet."

"When Lai Fu feels everything is safe, he will hand in his credentials and take you back. That would be honorable. Don't be impatient. It's easy to make mistakes when you are impatient."

"Yeah." Xiulan has become more calm and studies more seriously. She can now conduct daily conversations in Beirong dialect.

In the blink of an eye, it was the baby's full month.

Since Marquis Changning was not at home, the Song family did not plan to hold a big wedding.

Lai Fu is no longer around, and Xiulan is now Princess Kanghe. Although there is no grand wedding, Emperor Kangping and the Empress have given her many gifts.

The royal family, led by the prince, came to the Changning Marquis' Mansion together.

Zhou Jin was on high alert and sent out all the secret guards from the Changning Marquis' Mansion to protect the prince's safety.

Xiulan came out to see the prince, holding the child.

The Tang female official reminded, "Princess, you are older than the prince, but the prince is the heir to the throne. You should pay your respects to the prince first, and then the prince will pay your respects to you."

Xiulan was startled, "The prince is still going to salute me?"

"Of course. According to etiquette, you are also on the Royal Jade Butterfly. That is because you are a royal princess, older than the crown prince. Apart from your status as the crown prince, you are the eldest sister." The Tang female official replied.

Under the Queen's name, there are only the Crown Prince and Princess Kanghe.

According to family etiquette, Xiulan is the eldest and she is the most respected.

Female official Tang sighed in her heart, this is fate!

Who would have thought that Xiulan, a slave, would suddenly become the noble Princess Kanghe of Kang State.

Xiulan, accompanied by the female official Tang, came out holding the baby in her arms.

Following the reminder of Tang, Xiulan saluted the prince.

Prince Qi Heng hurriedly gave Xiulan a gift, "Sister, you had a hard time giving birth, and it is not easy for mother to leave the palace. I am here to visit you on behalf of father and mother."

Xiulan was nervous, but she was smart, and after practicing for a while, she could handle it easily. "Thank you, Father, Mother, and the Crown Prince."

Prince Qi Heng smiled and came over to look at the chubby white boy in the arms of Lady Tang.

Seeing this, Qi Heng laughed out loud, "Oh, this kid really looks like his father."

Qi Heng was the crown prince, and Zhou Jin used to be a close minister to the emperor, so the crown prince had often seen Lai Fu before and naturally remembered Lai Fu's appearance.

Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell at a glance that they are father and son, without even having to do a blood test.

Xiulan chuckled and said, "This little treasure really looks like my husband."

The prince pulled the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Xiaobao's swaddling clothes. "This is a gift from your uncle, Gu, to Xiaobao."

Xiulan agreed, "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

Other royal relatives also paid their respects to Xiulan and presented her with gifts.

The child was young, so Xiulan took Xiaobao back home after a while.

Zhou Jin entertained the prince and royal relatives on behalf of Lai Fu and was polite and considerate.

These royal relatives rarely interact with Zhou Jin.

Now that they are together, I see that Zhou Jin is very good at networking. How could he be the aloof and noble person as described in the legend?

Even Prince Qi Heng could feel the changes in Zhou Jin.

The emperor said that Zhou Jin became mature and stable after getting married.

A man still needs to get married and start a family to be stable.

Prince Qi Heng didn’t believe it before, but now after getting along with Zhou Jin, he feels like he is in spring breeze and begins to believe his father’s assertion.

Zhou Jin did not dare to be careless. After the meal, he personally sent Prince Qi Heng to the palace, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to mount her horse, Gu Xiling's carriage stopped in front of her, "Husband, get on!"

Zhou Jin was startled, and walked a few steps quickly to the front of the carriage, opened the front of his clothes, and got on the carriage quickly, "Madam, it's already afternoon, why did you come out?"

Gu Xiling had bright eyes and white teeth, and a sweet smile. "A batch of new tea has arrived from the south at Taiguyuan Tower in the city. I would like to invite the prince to taste the tea and enjoy the sunset."

Zhou Jin's eyes flickered as he smiled, "Thank you, my lady!"

After a busy day, it is a good thing to relax and drink tea.

There are also beautiful women to accompany you, which is great!

Guyuan Building has seven floors in total, and Gu Xiling booked a private room on the sixth floor.

They stood in front of the window, sipping tea, admiring the sunset, and feeling the vastness of the sky and the earth.

They are looking at the scenery, and others are looking at them.

Zhou Jin couldn't help but compose a poem, "I feel uncomfortable in the evening, so I drive to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk." (Excerpt from Li Shangyin's Leyouyuan)

Yuan Zhen waited anxiously, but no contact person from Jin Linwei showed up.

Seeing that the Red Lotus Young Masters were about to catch up, Yuan Zhen was desperate. Hearing Zhou Jin reciting poems next door, his eyes lit up and he leaned against the window, "Zhou Jin?"
