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

With Gu Xiling's encouragement, the hesitation on Xiulan's face faded away, and she gradually became determined, with a distant look in her eyes.

"Thank you, Madam Crown Prince! I remember that I am no longer that maid Xiulan, but Princess Kanghe of Kangguo."

Gu Xiling nodded, "Yes, that's the way it should be! Nanny Yuan will go back with you, and His Majesty will send someone to protect you and the child."

"I believe that with your intelligence and Lai Fu's guilt and love for you, you will soon be able to gain a foothold in Beirong. Next, use your wisdom to live the life you want."

Xiulan pondered and slowly understood.

Xiulan lived in the princess's mansion with her child, Nanny Yuan, and four maids.

The indentures of the original nanny and the four maids were all handed over to Xiulan.

Through such actions, Gu Xiling told Xiulan that these were all her people and the Changning Marquisate would no longer interfere.

After staying in the princess's mansion for three days, the wedding procession of the Beirong delegation and the wedding farewell procession of Kangguo gradually left the city gate.

Not only did Xiulan bring her child to the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Kangping and the Empress, but the Crown Prince also personally sent Xiulan and the child thirty miles outside the city.

Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin were also among those seeing them off.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again!

But Gu Xiling knew that everyone has his or her own life.

All good things must come to an end. We will go our separate ways from now on and can only send our thoughts through the moon.

Bai Lian hid in the crowd and disguised herself as an ordinary peasant woman. She looked at the closely protected prince from afar with resentment in her eyes.

They have been hiding here and there these days and dare not show up at all.

It was because there were so many people around today that Bai Lian dared to come out.

Their mission today is to find out where their father is being held.

If possible, Bai Lian wants to rescue her father.

If not, Bai Lian wants to avenge his father.

Because of the heavy casualties before, there were not so many masters.

Assassination in the street is simply not feasible, so we can only look for another opportunity.

Looking at the marching team, Gu Xiling sighed, "Husband, let's go back too! After father sends Xiulan to Beirong, we should be able to come back before the New Year!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that my father is back! I have had such a hard time this year."

Without a father at home, Zhou Jin is the head of the family.

Along the way, there were the remnants of the Red Lotus, the rebellion of King Yun, and countless other dazzling things.

He was in charge of all these matters and dared not slack off at all.

Fortunately, he has his wife to help him.

Not only does she not let him worry about matters at home, but Gu Xiling also gives him advice on matters outside the home.

It's not that there are no good things. Lai Fu got what he wanted, Xiulan and the child were safe, and he had a new brother.

Gu Xiling chuckled, "Actually, my husband has grown a lot in this year. Besides, my husband can only stay in the capital because my father is not around. When my father comes back, my husband will be sent out next year. By then, it will be impossible for him to stay at home. Cherish this time."

Zhou Jin heard his wife's praise and reminder and agreed with her. "My wife is right! As we are about to leave the capital, I would like to invite you to Qujiang Tower to listen to music and enjoy the scenery. Is that okay?"

Gu Xiling nodded repeatedly, "Very good! Autumn is also one of the most beautiful seasons in Qujiang. I can listen to music and enjoy the scenery. It's really enjoyable!"

So the couple came to Qujiang Tower together, and sat in a box by the window on the third floor, looking at the sparkling lake, the willows swaying in the wind, and the breeze brushing their faces, feeling relaxed.

In another month, there will be autumn winds and falling leaves here.

But don't feel bad, it's going to snow soon.

The snowy scene will be beautiful by then.

Drink tea, eat snacks, feel the breeze and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Gu Xiling's eyes were smiling, Zhou Jin whispered softly, like a mandarin duck, they slowly approached and snuggled up to each other.

At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "I learned that Brother Zhou and his wife are here, so Yuan Zhen came to pay his respects."

Gu Xiling, who was originally leaning on Zhou Jin's arms, quickly sat up straight, "Why is Yuan Zhen here?"

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't know either, but since I'm here, I can't avoid seeing you."

Zhou Jin stood up and opened the door himself.

Yuan Zhen saw Zhou Jin coming in and bowed, "Brother Zhou, I am Yuan Zhen's humble servant. Before..."

When Zhou Jin heard this, he quickly interrupted Yuan Zhen's thanks and said, "Come in if you have anything to say."

Yuan Zhen understood what he meant, "Brother Zhou is right."

Soon they were inside, and Zhou Jin whispered, "I helped you twice before, but no one else knew except His Majesty. Don't tell others that I helped you in the future. We are just friends, and we can just get along with each other as colleagues."

Yuan Zhen was stunned. Although he didn't understand why Zhou Jin was unwilling to admit his great contribution, he respected Zhou Jin's decision.

"I'll listen to Brother Zhou." Yuan Zhen said with a smile, "But I still want to thank Brother Zhou and his wife. Today's consumption is on my treat."

Gu Xiling stood up and returned the greeting, "Then my husband and I thank you for treating us. I heard that Master Yuan was injured some time ago, is he okay now?"

Yuan Zhen smiled, "I'm fine now. I was beaten badly some time ago, but luckily it's just superficial injuries. Brother Zhou, can you introduce me to Master Xie Jin when you have time?"

Zhou Jin was stunned and asked, "Did Xie's brother-in-law save you?"

Yuan Zhen replied: "Yes, just when I thought I was going to be killed by those escaped Red Lotus remnants, General Xie arrived and saved me."

Zhou Jin nodded, "Okay, but he is in mourning now. If you want to see him, wait until I have a day off and I will take you there."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. You are all my saviors. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I, Yuan Zhen, will do my best to help." Yuan Zhen bowed, expressing his gratitude.

Zhou Jin invited Yuan Zhen to sit down and have tea.

Gu Xiling asked: "Mr. Yuan, you have made great contributions this time. Didn't His Majesty reward you?"

Yuan Zhen smiled and said, "My sister-in-law, His Majesty asked me where I wanted to be posted, and I also wanted to be posted out. After all, I had a bad reputation before, and was harmed by the remnants of the Red Lotus."

"It's just that I don't have a suitable position right now, and it's almost winter, and my parents want me to leave next spring, so I'm still unemployed at home, taking care of my parents and accompanying my wife and children."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Yuan, it's a blessing in disguise."

"No risk, no gain." Yuan Zhen smiled. "I'm already in that situation. If I don't fight, I'll be sorry for my parents, the Yuan family, and my wife and children. They've already been embarrassed. If I can't make a contribution and turn the situation around, I might as well die."

When it comes to the issue of men's dignity, Zhou Jin keeps silent about it.

No matter whether it is words of comfort or kind words, in the eyes of narrow-minded people, they are wrong.

Gu Xiling admired Yuan Zhen very much. No wonder Yuan Zhen was able to achieve great things later. It turned out that he had realized his mistake and turned back. A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.

She had something to say to Yuan Zhen.
