It was already night time when Xiao Hanzheng returned home after dinner.

After showering, he returned to his room.

Shi Qingluo leaned against the soft couch and read a book. “You’re back!”

As soon as she stood up, Xiao Hanzheng walked over quickly and put her on his lap.

“King Yi has entered the palace. The Emperor asked me to stay and talk about Mother’s marriage.”

“Has the time been set?” Shi Qingluo asked with a smile.

The imperial edict did not specify the exact time.

“The sixth of next month,” Xiao Hanzheng replied.

Shi Qingluo was stunned. “Then there’s only about ten days left.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, King Yi said that he was afraid that it would delay my return to North City.”

“So he asked the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to calculate and found that the best day in the next few months would be the sixth of next month.”

Shi Qingluo laughed. “What’s there to be afraid of delaying your return to North

City? He’s clearly the one who can’t wait to marry Mother.”

“Yeah,” Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile. “He couldn’t wait any longer.”

“But this is good too. The sooner they get married, the sooner we can return to North City.”

His mother was going to marry King Yi anyway, so what did it matter whether it was early or late?

Shi Qingluo nodded. “It’s not bad to get married early. Anyway, the dowry we prepared for Mother is ready.”

What they did not lack the most now was money, so she had prepared a generous dowry for her mother-in-law.

Not only did she buy a courtyard, a manor, fields, shops, paintings, furniture, cloth, furs, jewelry, etc., she also prepared a lot of silver notes.

Of course, the betrothal gift list given by King Yi was also very impressive. It could be considered as the foundation of an aristocratic family.

They didn’t stay either. Instead, they prepared to let Kong Yuelan bring them back to the mansion.

They wanted to give Kong Yuelan face. Even if she married King Yi, they could still support her.

“After Mother gets married, will she still come back to the northern border with us?” she asked after some thought.

Xiao Hanzheng said, “King Yi means that he will take Mother back to the northern border a month after they get married. ”

“There are still some official matters in the northern borders that need King Yi to deal with.”

The materials and money that Ge Kingdom had agreed to compensate had not been received yet, so King Yi had to go and ask for them personally.

He still had to negotiate with Ge Kingdom and set up some hidden traps at the border. Only by doing so could the Emperor be at ease.

Shi Qingluo nestled in his arms. “That’s good. Otherwise, I really can’t bear to be separated from Mother forever.”

When the time came, they would all be in North City. Even if they didn’t live together, they could still meet often and go shopping together.

Xiao Hanzheng touched her belly and said, “Mother is worried about you too. She said that she would stay by your side and watch her grandchildren being born.”

Shi Qingluo smiled. “Yes. I feel more at ease with Mother by my side.”

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her cheek. “Let me take your pulse.”

Shi Qingluo passed her hand to him. “Sure!”

Xiao Hanzheng reached out and touched Shi Qingluo’s hand, then he was stunned.

He grabbed it again with his other hand.

“Wifey, you’re pregnant with twins!” His eyes were filled with surprise.

Shi Qingluo was stunned and her eyes widened. “You mean I’m pregnant with twins?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, I am sure that you are pregnant with twins.” “No wonder your stomach is showing. It’s because of the twins.”

Shi Qingluo also realized that her stomach was growing a little fast. Recently, she had been thinking about whether she should control her diet.

She did not expect to be pregnant with twins.

She was also surprised and hugged Xiao Hanzheng. “Zheng Zheng, you’re amazing! ”

Of course, it would be good to have twins.

In the past, when she saw twins wearing the same clothes and playing together, she felt that it was quite good.

Her two younger brothers were also twins.

When they were being lectured by her parents, the two of them would also laugh bitterly together. They would even take turns complaining to her. It was very fun.

She really didn’t expect that she would be pregnant with twins. This was good too. Giving birth to two at once was enough.

Xiao Hanzheng did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard her words.

“My wife is awesome.”

She had given birth to two children for him in one go.

Shi Qingluo laughed. “Then we’re both amazing.”

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly. “Yes, two children are enough.”

He had always known that giving birth to a child was like passing through the gates of h*ll. He originally only wanted a single child. He could not bear to see his wife suffer.

It was great to have two children at once now!

Shi Qingluo nodded. “I think it’s enough too.”

The next day, Mother Xiao and the others were overjoyed when they heard that Shi Qingluo was pregnant with twins. They even treated her like a porcelain doll.

Mother Xiao was also summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager naturally did not want her youngest son to marry a divorced woman.

It wasn’t that she looked down on Kong Yuelan, but that she wanted to give her child the best.

However, his youngest son had almost entered the void gate and had not been close to women for so many years.

It wasn’t easy for him to fall in love with a woman. If she objected and her son ran off to become a monk, she would cry.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager quickly accepted the truth.

After seeing Kong Yuelan, she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers.

Therefore, she took the initiative to get closer to her and did not put on airs as a mother-in-law.

Kong Yuelan was an easy-going person. She would not reject the Empress Dowager’s offer to get close to her.

Of course, she didn’t flatter her. Instead, she showed a normal closeness between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

This also made the Empress Dowager have a better impression of her, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was closer.

When Kong Yuelan left the palace, she was rewarded with many things by the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Those who had been waiting to see the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn’t get along and the Empress Dowager didn’t like the drama with her divorced daughter-in-law were also disappointed. Especially those women who had once admired and wanted to marry King Yi, they were even more jealous.

Two days later, King Yi sent the betrothal gifts to the Xiao Family.

The Xiao Family had seen the betrothal gift list in advance, so they were not surprised. However, when the other families in the capital found out, they were shocked.

Those women who were jealous of Kong Yuelan felt like they had eaten lemons.

How could this woman be so lucky? Not only did King Yi take a fancy to her, he even valued her so much.

Such a betrothal gift was definitely unique in the entire Daliang Empire, including the previous dynasty.

“King Yi’s betrothal gifts are too frightening. They are even more valuable than the entire foundation of a third-rate family in the capital.”

“That’s true. When the late emperor was still alive, King Yi was already very good at business. He had a lot of good things in his hands.”

“Right now, King Yi is still the Emperor’s most beloved and important younger brother. Naturally, he wouldn’t lack money or good things.”

“Having a foundation and money is one thing, but he’s willing to take out so much as a betrothal gift. This shows how much King Yi values and likes this Princess Consort Yi.”

Just as everyone was still lamenting about King Yi’s huge betrothal gift, an imperial edict arrived at the Xiao Family.

King Yi took the initiative to confer Xiao Baili the title of princess, and the Emperor agreed.

Even King Jin’s daughter had been conferred the title of princess. The Emperor valued his younger brother’s daughter the most, so of course, she had to have such a status.

The Emperor conferred Xiao Baili the title of ‘Princess Yao’, which meant that she was beautiful and precious.

The imperial edict shocked the entire capital. No one expected King Yi to confer the title of princess to Kong Yuelan before she married into the family.

Everyone was thinking that Xiao Hanzheng’s mother was so powerful that she could make King Yi, who was so cold and refined, do such a thing..
