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

The marriage team and the Beirong delegation finally arrived smoothly at Beirong's capital, Shicheng.

The city is mostly built of stone and looks a bit bloated, but it is very solid.

Marquis Changning looked around and found that the Stone City seemed more lively than before.

Unlike before when under the rule of tyrants, even laughing was a sin for the common people.

Beirong will surely be better off under Lai Fu's governance.

If people live a good life, they will naturally stop burning, killing and looting.

In fact, according to the labor of the common people, they could have lived a good life by complementing Kangguo. However, due to the exploitation from above, the fruits of the labor of these common people were stolen by the upper class nobles.

The common people were living in dire straits, but the upper class nobles lived even more luxuriously.

Many common people on both sides walked out of their homes and watched Princess Kangguo marry the Beirong.

Although she was half covered with a veil, one could vaguely see that Princess Kangguo had very fair skin, and her clothes were very gorgeous and her jewelry was also very exquisite.

The common people were grateful that King Lu had reduced their taxes and cheered.

Kangguo was too powerful and the people didn't want to fight at all.

King Chaolu married the princess of Kangguo, and I believe they will be able to live in peace in the future.

Marquis Changning's entourage was arranged to stay at the post station to rest before submitting the letter.

Lai Fu first took Xiulan and the children to see the concubine.

At first, the concubine was holding it in her arms, but when she saw Xiaobao, she was slightly startled, "It looks like... it really looks like him!"

The concubine held the child tightly, as if she was holding her little son.

When the child was hungry, Xiulan took the child and handed it to the wet nurse to feed him. Only then did the concubine reluctantly hand the child to Xiulan.

While Xiaobao was feeding, the concubine looked at the beautiful Xiulan and smiled slightly, "You are really beautiful. No wonder Chaolu has been thinking about you."

Xiulan chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment, Concubine. The reason why King Chaolu and I are together is not because of our looks, but because we value each other's character and admire each other's qualities."

Hearing this, Toffee smiled, "It would be best if you two were in love."

Xiulan nodded, "Yes. This is my home, and I will manage my home well."

Toffee smiled, "Okay, let's keep Habur here later."

Lai Fu persuaded him, "Mother, I know you like Habul, but Habul is only half a year old. He has come all the way from Kangguo, so he needs to rest well and adapt to the weather here."

"The adults are not feeling well, not to mention the children. Let Xiulan take the child away first, and come to pay your respects to you tomorrow. It will be better for Habul to be with his mother, with a wet nurse and servants to serve him."

Xiulan was about to refuse, but Lai Fu spoke first.

The concubine thought that many children died in infancy on the grassland and that we should not be careless. She nodded and said, "That's right. The child is young. Xiulan, you don't have to bring the child here. I will visit you and make sure Habul is safe and healthy."

The first time the concubine saw Xiaobao, she fell in love with this grandson and didn't want anything to happen to him.

Xiulan could feel the Toffee's attitude softening, and this change began after she met Xiaobao.

No wonder Lai Fu told her not to worry.

The concubine sent her child away that year, and now when she sees Xiaobao, she thinks of Lai Fu's childhood and wants to make up for it.

"Thank you, mother!" Xiulan thanked.

The concubine looked at Xiulan, "Xiulan, where is Chaolu's stepmother? I learned from Chaolu that this sister has taken care of Chaolu since he was a child, and she has also properly preserved Chaolu's crescent pendant."

Xiulan replied: "My stepmother is in the side hall, waiting for my mother to summon me."

The concubine shook her head, "How rude. I should go meet her and thank her."

The concubine went over in person and saluted to Nanny Yuan, "Sister, thank you for taking care of Chao Lu over the years."

Nanny Yuan quickly returned the greeting, "Your Highness, that's too serious. King Chaolu and I are destined to be together. I thought we would depend on each other in the future, but I didn't expect that King Chaolu would have such good fortune. I am also lucky enough to be with him."

The concubine knew that the servants in Kangguo had no personal freedom, especially the children, who were brought to the marquis's house.

Life can only be good if you have help from others.

Lai Fu is not only physically strong, but also talented in both civil and military affairs. He is even better than those nobles of Beirong. This is inseparable from the care of Nanny Yuan and the training of Changning Marquis Mansion.

After some polite words, the concubine gave Nanny Yuan many rewards, and even a house not far from the imperial palace for Nanny Yuan to live in in her old age.

Back to Kangguo's post station in Beirongshicheng, where lived Kangguo officials, merchants, and caravans.

When they learned that the princess of Kangguo had arrived, they all came to pay their respects.

Xiulan followed Marquis Changning's advice and accepted everyone's audience.

When these people saw the princess, they felt like they had seen their backbone. If they had any problems in Beirong in the future, they could also seek help from the princess.

For three consecutive days, the princess came to visit Prince Habur.

Similarly, it was also spread to the outside world that the Queen Mother liked the Princess of Kangguo very much, and also liked the eldest son of King Chaolu very much.

After three days of final preparations, the Ministry of Rites on the Kangguo side and the officials on the Beirong side met to hold a grand wedding.

Xiulan, Xiaobao, Nanny Yuan, and several maids and guards moved into the palace.

Three days later, Marquis Changning, on behalf of the royal family, received Xiulan and Lai Fu and completed all the steps of the wedding.

Marquis Changning breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, everything went well and he could return to Beijing.

Although Xiulan was reluctant to leave, she also knew that all good things must come to an end.

Xiulan and Laifu came to the city to see him off in person, "My Lord, have a safe journey."

Marquis Changning smiled and said, "Yes, King Chaolu, Beirong and its people are now in your hands."

Lai Fu nodded, "My Lord, you can call me Lai Fu from now on. Without Changning Marquisate, there would be no Lai Fu today."

Marquis Changning shook his head, "Etiquette cannot be abolished! The past is the past, and the present is the present. From now on, you two must understand and support each other and live a good life."

"Yes, Lord." Xiulan and Lai Fu agreed.

Lai Fu was very touched when he received the wedding gift prepared for him by Young Master Zhou Jin.

Sometimes when he felt very tired, Lai Fu thought of the Young Master and the happy and relaxing days he spent with him.

But those days are gone forever. He has his own life and started a completely different life path from before.

Xiulan's eyes turned red, and she felt that her family had left her.

Watching the convoy going farther and farther away, she lay in Lai Fu's arms and sobbed, "Lai Fu, Xiao Bao and I only have you."

Lai Fu hugged Xiulan and comforted her softly, "Xiulan, we will be fine, always fine."

Xiulan was deeply moved when she thought about the things that the Marquis gave her before he left.

There are loyal people from Kangguo at the post station and the caravan. If you encounter something that is difficult to handle or inconvenient to handle, you can hand it over to them.

All this made Xiulan realize that she was not alone in Beirong.
