Inside the Dragon Bed, the Emperor was sitting on the dragon couch, flipping through the memorials in his hands. Beside him stood Eunuch Li, who lowered his eyes and waited for the Emperor's order.

After reading Beiling's memorial, the emperor showed joy and said in a loud voice: "Good! The bandits in Huaxi County have been completely wiped out. This is really gratifying."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The prince and princess have eliminated a major hidden danger for our dynasty."

"My third brother used to be indifferent to state affairs, but now it seems that he is making more and more progress."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and fell into deep thought. Eunuch Li naturally understood the emperor's heart, but he still said cautiously: "Princess Bei has made great contributions this time. Shouldn't she be rewarded with something to show the emperor's great grace?"

"Princess Bei has indeed made great contributions. Not only is she talented and beautiful, she has also done a lot for the people. Such an extraordinary woman should indeed receive the honor she deserves."

He paused, and continued, "Then make her a first-rank princess, and give her some gold, silver, jewels, and other jewelry."

Eunuch Li bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will do it right away."

In the corridor, Ren Chennan stood outside the bedroom with a gloomy face, and happened to hear the conversation between his royal brother and Eunuch Li.

When he heard that his royal brother wanted to confer the title of First-Rank Princess on Xia Yurou, his eyes were filled with anger and his fingers unconsciously clenched and unclenched, suppressing the indignation in his heart.

Ren Chennan angrily came to the river and smashed his fist hard on the tree trunk beside him, making a dull sound.

The gurgling river could not soothe the waves in his heart.

At this time, Nightingale came to Ren Chennan.

When he saw Nightingale wrapped in bandages, his anger intensified: "Do you know that my good-for-nothing third brother is now more valued by my royal brother? Not only did he give him the northern region, he also made that woman a first-class princess."

"Nightingale is incompetent and failed to complete this mission."

Ren Chennan clenched his fists, as if he wanted to crush all his anger in his palms: "My royal brother is really getting more and more confused. One day, I will let everyone know who is most qualified to become the true Dragon Emperor of Dragon Country."

In the Northern Palace, the breeze blew across Xia Yurou's elegant dress as she strolled in the huge garden accompanied by Xiaoxue.

They came to a quiet little pond. The water was crystal clear and colorful carp were swimming leisurely in the water, like a vivid painting.

Xia Yurou touched her belly and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful here, much bigger than Prince Chen's Mansion. Baby, you will definitely like our new home."

At this time, Sun Erniang, Lengzi and Mentou came from a distance, carrying large and small bags in their hands. Erniang asked with concern: "Princess, are you feeling better recently? We have been worried about you these days."

"Thank you for your concern, Second Mother. Under the careful care of the prince these days, I have almost recovered."

Lengzi and Mentou were standing there holding a bunch of things, smiling innocently. Sun Erniang said, "Princess, these were specially picked by them and me at the market. Most of them are for you to replenish your body. Look, there are bird's nests, deer antlers, donkey-hide gelatin... They are all good things. You must take good care of yourself."

The two of them surrounded the princess, talking to her one after another, and reminded her to have a good rest and not to have another miscarriage.

Although what Mentou and Lengzi said was a bit confusing, Xia Yurou felt their deep concern for her.

"Xiaoxue, tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for lunch. I want to have a good meal with Er Niang, Lengzi and the others."

"Yes, ma'am."

After saying that, Xiaoxue retreated respectfully.

"Princess, I see that your complexion has recovered well recently. I believe that the prince has really taken good care of you."

"Second Mother, the pregnancy-preserving medicine you gave me when we were fighting bandits in Xifeng Mountain last time was really good stuff, but why do you carry such medicine with you?"

When Sun Erniang heard Xia Yurou mention the pregnancy-preserving pills, sadness appeared on her face and she sighed softly as if she was recalling the past.

"Princess, the boss lady was also pregnant before..."

Lengzi paused, glanced at the boss lady, and seeing that she did not object, he continued, "At that time, the boss lady met Lu Xiucai who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Who knew that this guy was a swindler. Later, the boss lady was so angry that she asked Mutou to chop him off."

I really didn't expect that Er Niang had such a past. Xia Yurou cursed the scumbag and comforted him: "It's all in the past. I will introduce you to a better one in the future."

The sunlight shines on them through the treetops, and the breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance, as if time has slowed down.

At lunch time, Xia Yurou sat next to Ren Chenxi and picked up food for him. The interaction between the two was full of sweetness.

Sun Erniang couldn't help but joked: "The princess is so considerate to the prince. I'm envious of her."

"Second Mother, you have been living outside since the bandit suppression. The palace is very spacious now. If you are willing, you can move in and live with us at any time."

Sun Erniang was slightly stunned, and Ren Chenxi immediately said: "I did have a prejudice against you before, but you have made great contributions to the suppression of bandits this time. Like Rou'er said, the palace will be your home from now on, so just stay here with peace of mind."

Xia Yurou was delighted and quickly added, "Second Mother, don't refuse anymore. Just stay here and we can take care of each other in the future."

Suddenly, a spy knelt hurriedly in front of Ren Chenxi and handed him a letter sent by carrier pigeon.

After reading the contents of the letter, Ren Chenxi's eyes gradually brightened and an expression of joy that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

"Rou'er, my brother has already made you a first-rank princess."

Xia Yurou was slightly stunned, then a bright smile blossomed on her face. She gently stroked her belly and said softly to the little life in her belly: "Baby, did you hear that? Mother is now also a first-rank princess, with the same title as father. Father will not dare to bully mother in the future."

He shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help reaching out and gently scratching the tip of her nose, his eyes full of affection.

Sun Erniang quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up, and smiled: "Congratulations, Princess, congratulations, Princess, this is really a great joyous event!"

She turned to look at Mentou and Lengzi, and they quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Congratulations, Princess!"

Xiaoxue said excitedly: "Miss, you are amazing!"

Steward Lin had a respectful look on his face, and his voice was full of respect: "Congratulations to the princess on her promotion to the first rank. This is a blessing for our Northern Palace, and also for the people of the world."

Xia Yurou shook her head gently, as if she was about to float up, and Ren Chenxi held her hand lovingly: "Whether you are a first-rank princess or an ordinary woman, you are my Rou'er, and the most important person in my heart, and the mother of our child."

The two looked at each other with deep affection. At this moment, it seemed as if everything around them had gone quiet, leaving only the two of them...
