Before returning to the capital, Emperor Song redivided the vast land of the former Dongjin Kingdom into four prefectures, namely Linhai Prefecture, Tongtai Prefecture, Qiming Prefecture and Ning Prefecture.

Because of his outstanding military achievements, Jiang Zhixu was named King of Linhai and was responsible for guarding Linhai Prefecture.

Zhan Jue was also awarded the title of King of Tongtai for his outstanding military achievements and was stationed in Tongtai Prefecture.

The second prince, King Zhan, was granted Qimingzhou as his fiefdom.

It is worth mentioning that although Cao Jiao was a woman, she successfully killed many Dong Jin generals during her undercover period in the Dong Jin Kingdom, making great contributions. Therefore, the Song Emperor specially appointed her as the Governor of Ningzhou, a second-rank official, responsible for guarding Ningzhou.

At this point, all the lands of the former Dongjin Kingdom were incorporated into the territory of the Dagan Kingdom, and these four frontier officials were not allowed to return to the capital without the emperor's order.

Zhenguogong Mansion

Jin Linlin was lying on the bed, gently caressing her daughter's pink little face, her heart filled with love. This little girl was so soft and cute that Jin Linlin's heart almost melted.

Just then, Qiuyu walked in. She carefully picked up the baby and handed it to the wet nurse.

Then he handed the bird's nest porridge in his hand to Jin Linlin and said with concern: "Madam, please eat something. You haven't eaten since you gave birth to the young lady yesterday."

Jin Linlin took the bird's nest porridge and sighed with relief.

"Yes, the baby was finally born. The last time my third sister-in-law gave birth, she suffered a lot. I thought I would be the same, but in the end, the baby was born in less than two hours."

Haruyuki covered his mouth and smiled.

"That proves that the young lady loves you. Last time, the Third Madam suffered because she was pregnant with twins and had a difficult birth."

Jin Linlin nodded after hearing this:

"Before the birth, we got news of victory from the front lines. Is the Second Master coming back soon?"

Haruyuki stammered, unable to utter a single word.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the Second Master? Chunxue, don't scare me." Jin Linlin said anxiously when she saw that her expression was not right.

"No, no, it's just that the Second Master has been crowned King of Linhai, guarding Linhai Prefecture. He probably won't be back, and Madam, you just gave birth, so I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a while."

When Jin Linlin heard this, the bowl in her hand almost slipped. She was stunned for a long time, her eyes full of disappointment.

"I've been crowned a king... I'm stationed in Linhai Prefecture. I'm afraid we'll be apart less and less in the future." She murmured to herself, her voice full of loneliness.

Seeing this, Qiuyu hurried to comfort her, "Madam, it's a great honor for the Second Master to be crowned a king. Our Duke's Mansion will be even more prestigious from now on. And when the young lady is older, you can take her to Linhai Prefecture to reunite with the Second Master."

Jin Linlin nodded slightly, forcing a smile. "You're right, it's a good thing. It's just that I just gave birth, and he can't be with me, so I can't help but feel a little empty inside."

Haruyuki and Qiuyu bowed with a smile.

"Madam, you are now the Princess of Linhai. Your servants congratulate the Princess. Congratulations, Princess."

Jin Linlin looked at the two maids and smiled happily:

"You are the only ones who know how to ask for rewards? Rewards, there are rewards for the birth of the young lady in the courtyard and the mansion."

Nanny Bai passed on Jin Linlin's order, and everyone knelt down to thank for the reward.

At this time, the nanny came over with the child in her arms, and the child was babbling and waving his little hands.

Jin Linlin looked at her daughter, and the loss in her eyes was gradually replaced by tenderness.

"Forget it. It's a comfort to have this good daughter by my side." She gently took the child and kissed her on the cheek.

"From now on, let's live a good life together. When you grow up, we will go to Linhaizhou to find your father."

Seeing that her master was in a good mood, Qiuyu took the opportunity to tell her that Cao Jiao had become the governor of Ningzhou.

After hearing this, Jin Linlin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile:

"Well, that's good! So, she found Erbao? Thank God, Erbao is back safely. This couple felt like the sky was falling a few days ago.

I cried all day. Look at it now. Erbao has not only been found, but he has also made great contributions. Cao Jiao has even been promoted to a high-ranking official for being a woman. This is truly unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

Qiuyu nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, Princess! It is said that when the Emperor was conferring titles, many people stood up to express their opposition, but His Majesty defied all odds and insisted on appointing Cao Jiao as Governor of Ningzhou, praising her as being no less capable than any man."

Jin Linlin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Cao Jiao is truly as capable as any man! It's all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom that he decisively ignored all objections and granted her this position."

At this moment, Chunxue suddenly interrupted, "Princess, in my opinion, it won't be long before the Third House sends someone to take Dabao away."

Upon hearing this, Jin Linlin's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a pitiful expression. She stared longingly at Chunxue and Qiuyu and whispered softly:

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. Dabao has been with me since he was born. Now I have to say goodbye to him, and I really don't want to let him go."

At this moment, Nanny Bai hurried in and said anxiously, "Princess, Mo Ren is back. He seems to have found some important clues."

Upon hearing this news, the princess' heart tightened and she quickly ordered, "Quick, call him in."

Nanny Bai responded and left. A moment later, Mo Ren was led into the room.

Seeing this, Chunxue and Qiuyu hurriedly brought the screen next to her and placed it in front of the bed. She looked at the screen and suddenly remembered that she was still in confinement after childbirth, and she couldn't help feeling helpless.

Mo Ren stood outside the screen and saluted respectfully to the princess.
