Lai Fu led his men out of Shicheng, riding at full speed without stopping for a moment.

Even when eating, they did it on horseback, just munching on some dried milk and marching as if they were on a forced march.

Riding a horse is fast, and Lai Fu went out at noon and traveled in the dark.

Finally, in the early morning of the next day, they met the marriage team and the envoys from the two countries.

When the Marquis of Changning learned that Lai Fu was coming, he rode over personally. After confirming that it was Lai Fu, he dismounted and saluted, "Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning of Kangguo, pays respect to the King of Beirong."

No matter what, Lai Fu is now the king of a country, and Marquis Changning must give him enough respect.

Lai Fu jumped down, rushed over, and helped up the Marquis of Changning who was about to bow and salute, "My Lord, please don't be like this. I am where I am today, thanks to your planning."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze smiled and said, "That's because the king himself has the ability. I just didn't expect the king to come to greet him in person."

Lai Fu smiled innocently, "I miss Xiulan and the children."

Marquis Changning nodded, understanding Lai Fu's feelings. He now couldn't wait to complete the task and return home as soon as possible.

His youngest son is already one year old, and he hasn’t even met him yet!

"Your Majesty, follow Zhou. The princess and the little prince are in the carriage at the back. However, when you get in, you'd better take off your outer clothes and change into clean ones."

"After all, it's okay for adults, but children need to be careful. Any impact on children is unimaginable."

Lai Fu nodded, "My Lord is right, I will take it off when we get there."

Marquis Changning smiled and said, "I won't let you be without clothes to wear. Xiulan has made a whole cart of clothes for you! I brought them all to you."

Hearing this, Lai Fu was even more excited. "She has worked hard over the past year. Thank you for the care given to Xiulan and her son by the Marquis' Mansion."

Even if he were handed over to the court for care, he might not be taken care of as well as the marquis' mansion.

Marquis Changning smiled and stroked his beautiful beard, "Your Majesty, it's too formal for you to say that. Our acquaintance is fate. Some things can be done without saying anything. Because our affection is not expressed in words, but in our hearts."

Lai Fu's nose felt slightly sour and his eyes were slightly red.

He has a lot to say, but he can't.

"How are the prince and his wife now?"

Marquis Changning chuckled, "They are in love and the husband and wife follow their lead."

"That's good. The Crown Prince and his wife are a perfect match." Lai Fu, as a bystander, grew up with Zhou Jin. He knew how much the Crown Prince changed after his wife married him.

Marquis Changning nodded, "Yes, the two of them are doing well now. Don't worry, treat Xiulan well in the future. I also believe in the king's wisdom and can arrange these things."

Lai Fu agreed, "Don't worry, Lord. I will remember the friendship between our two countries and never cross the border. Xiulan is my wife, and I will protect her with my life."

Marquis Changning smiled and said, "Very good!"

When he came to Xiulan's carriage, Lai Fu shouted without waiting for anyone to inform him, "Xiulan, it's me, Lai Fu!"

When Xiulan heard Lai Fu's voice, she thought it was an illusion and couldn't believe it, "Lai Fu?"

Nanny Yuan opened the small gap in the carriage and exclaimed, "It's really Lai Fu."

Lai Fu had taken off his outer clothes and came up wearing his inner clothes.

Marquis Changning had someone bring Lai Fu's clothes, and he put them on freshly before getting on the carriage.

"Xiu Lan, godmother!" Lai Fu got into the car, very excited.

At this time, the wet nurse got off the carriage and allowed the family to reunite.

When Xiulan saw Lai Fu, he looked much darker than before.

She had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to say them now.

Nanny Yuan also knew that this was the first time the young couple had met again in more than a year, and they must have a lot to talk about.

Nanny Yuan patted Lai Fu's arm vigorously, "You've become stronger! Lai Fu, no, you should be called the king now! Have a good talk with Xiulan, I'll go downstairs and prepare some food for you."

When Lai Fu heard what Nanny Yuan said, he quickly said, "Godmother, you have been very kind to me since I was five years old and entered the Changning Marquis's residence. You often gave me meat to eat and made me plump and white."

"I know you raised me, and I hope I can take care of you in your old age! You raised me when I was little, and now that I am capable, I will take care of you in your old age. From now on, you can call me Lai Fu, not the King."

"If I, Lai Fu, forget my gratitude because I have lived a life of wealth and glory, I will not have a good ending in the future."

When Aunt Yuan heard this, she quickly said, "No way!"

At this time, Xiulan had calmed down and looked at Lai Fu tenderly, "Godmother, from now on, when there are no outsiders around, you can call Lai Fu, and when there are outsiders around, you can call Da Wang."

Lai Fu thought about it and nodded after hearing this, "Godmother, Xiulan is right, let's do as she says."

Nanny Yuan's eyes turned red and she wiped away her tears, "Okay, my good Lai Fu!"

Lai Fu was not shy with her, and Nanny Yuan finally felt relieved.

After getting off the carriage, she wanted to prepare food for Lai Fu and Xiu Lan.

When only Xiulan and the child were left in the carriage, Lai Fu said with a choked voice, "Xiulan, thank you for your hard work in coming to Beirong."

Xiulan shook her head when she heard this. "Laifu, don't say such things! I told you at the beginning that I would go wherever you go. Since you are now the King of Beirong, Kangguo has also canonized me as a princess, so my status is worthy of you."

"My child and I will never leave you, and we will live a good life as a family. We will manage our little family well and never let you worry about anything. This way you can work peacefully outside and let the people of Beirong live a good life."

Lai Fu hugged Xiulan gently, "Thank you, my lady! I, Lai Fu, will always be the one who wants to live with you wholeheartedly."

Xiulan nodded, "I know, I've always remembered it!"

Although she couldn't have Lai Fu all by herself forever, at least she could control her heart now.

Not only does she want to take root in Beirong, she also wants to run Beirong well for the sake of her children.

Just when the two of them couldn't help but hug and kiss, Xiaobao started crying.

When Lai Fu heard his son crying, he looked down at his son and burst into laughter.

"Xiaobao looks so much like me! Look at his round face!"

When Xiulan heard this, she twisted Lai Fu's arm and said, "Look at what you are saying! If your son doesn't look like you, who else can he look like?"

Lai Fu chuckled, "It's fine if my son looks like me, but if it's a daughter, she must look like you! As pretty as a flower, as beautiful as jade, with a natural beauty!"

"If I grow up like me, it will be hard to find a husband in the future! I will probably have to give a lot of dowry before I can get married!"

Xiulan was even more unhappy when she heard this. "You don't even have a daughter yet, and you're already saying that she can't get married! Is there any father like you?"

"Okay! I won't tell you!" Lai Fu begged for mercy, "Give me a hug, you little brat, I'm sorry for making you suffer!"

Xiulan shook her head. "This is my son. I love him so much, how can I feel bitter? Besides, in the Marquis' Mansion, there are so many people helping me, I am not bitter! It's just that I've been worried about your life or death in Beirong. Fortunately, everything is over, and our family is finally reunited."

Lai Fu nodded, holding his fat son in his arms, staring at him with his small eyes, "Yes, everything is over! We are going to start a new life here!"
