Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

Before leaving, Xu Yunxuan couldn't help but look at Gu Qinlan again, secretly admiring in her heart how perfect this princess was.

But then, she thought of Gu Qinlan's private meeting with Doctor Du in Xuanhu Hall, and she couldn't help feeling a little hesitant and self-blame.

She secretly reflected on herself, thinking that if she had known that the princess was so kind, she should not have informed Prince Duan even if she really had a secret meeting with someone.

Therefore, Xu Yunxuan spoke tentatively: "Princess, there is something I don't know if I should speak up."

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Whatever you want to say, just tell me."

Hearing this, Xu Yunxuan took a deep breath, as if gathering all her courage in her chest, and then she slowly spoke: "I saw you, Princess, talking happily with Doctor Du at the banquet that day, and they seemed very close. However, Prince Duan is about to return, so you, Princess, must act with caution and avoid any contact with Doctor Du to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She had not yet fully understood what her familiarity with Du Yusheng had to do with Zheng Dinglian?

Seeing the confusion on Gu Qinlan's face, Xu Yunxuan stamped her feet anxiously and continued to persuade:

"Although Doctor Du has a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, he is ultimately a scholar and cannot be compared with a military commander. Princess, you are still young and may not have appreciated these subtleties yet..."

"In short, you must think twice before you act. If you really have a choice, please wait until Prince Duan returns and then make a comparison. How do you think?"

After saying this, Xu Yunxuan quickly bowed again, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she turned around and walked away quickly.

Gu Qinlan looked at Xu Yunxuan's back, and his cold face seemed to crack with a tiny crack.

She turned to look at Wocan and Xiangzhu who were also standing there in a daze. After a long while, she slowly asked:

"What on earth was she talking about just now?"

The brow of the man was tense, and the sword in his hand almost slipped. He hesitated for a long time before tilting his head and answering:

"It seems that she misunderstood your intentions, young lady... to find another way? She also advised you to consider carefully and choose Prince Duan. Well, military generals are indeed more powerful than civil officials, right?"

When Xiang Zhu heard this, her cheeks turned red like ripe apples. She stamped her feet and could not help but scold loudly:

"Miss! Why did you give her so much money? She is such a person, talking nonsense! It's too much, too shameless!"

Gu Qinlan rubbed her temples with a headache. For the first time, she deeply realized that when a woman becomes bold, she is truly fearless.

She coughed lightly, patted Xiang Zhu who was still indignant, and comforted him:

"Okay, don't be angry. Since we've already agreed to let her enter the palace, we'll see each other every day in the future. There's no need to quarrel with her. Besides... what she said was well-intentioned."

However, this kindness seems a little too straightforward...

To the nobility, the Spring Banquet is an extremely important festival.

The emperor would bathe, burn incense and pray the day before the Spring Banquet, and on the day of the Spring Banquet, he would worship his ancestors, give thanks to heaven and earth, and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity in the coming year.

At that time, the imperial palace will invite officials of the fifth rank and above and their families to enter the palace to participate in the prayers and share this auspiciousness and joy.

While ensuring that the style of the original text is preserved, the following are some of the polishing steps for the article:

In the past, the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion had no chance to attend court banquets because the Dingyuan Marquis did not hold any official position.

This year, Marquis Dingyuan's new appointment just made him a fifth-rank official, and he was rightfully included in the palace banquet invitation list.

Although Marquis Dingyuan had not yet returned, the Marquis Dingyuan's mansion had already been bathed in the emperor's grace and was immersed in joy.

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was very nervous about entering the palace for the first time to attend a banquet, so she sent a messenger to deliver a letter to Gu Qinlan one day in advance, inviting her to return to the Marquis' Mansion so that she could accompany her and provide care.

When Xiang Zhu heard the news, he could not help but curse and complain:

"Madam Hou is really calculating. In the past, when the eldest lady was at home, she never cared about her. But today, she is acting like a kind mother."

"What's the talk of looking after each other? She just wants to use the glory of my 'Princess' to highlight her own nobility! Miss, we won't go! Let her be angry enough!"

Gu Qinlan was leaning on the soft chaise longue, holding a book in one hand, and with the other hand she casually picked up a big cherry from the sky-blue porcelain plate and gently put it into the mouth of Xiang Zhu, who was squatting beside her indignantly.

Xiang Zhu held a cherry in his mouth, his eyes wide open, and made inarticulate sounds of protest.

Gu Qinlan then put down the book, looked at Xiang Zhu with a smile and said:

"Girl, you have a very poisonous tongue. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Xiang Zhu was startled, and quickly chewed the cherry. The sweet juice spread in her mouth, but she had no intention of tasting it. She swallowed the cherry hastily and said hastily:

"I am not afraid of getting into trouble, I am only afraid that you will be wronged!"

Hearing Xiang Zhu's words, Gu Qinlan's eyes revealed a deep smile, and he shook his head and said seriously:

"What you said is wrong. I can't bear this grievance, and neither can you."

After a short pause, Gu Qinlan picked up the book again and said casually while flipping through it:

"She is my stepmother after all. There is no reason for me to refuse. However, if she wants me to get in the car, I have to see if she has the courage..."

At dawn the next day, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan had dressed herself up in a brand new look.

Her priceless silks and jewels all revealed her noble identity and status.

After finishing her dressing, Lady Dingyuan Hou stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror with great joy.

Although the years have left faint traces on her face, through careful care, she still maintains a unique charm, like a pearl that has gone through vicissitudes of life and becomes more dazzling.

She stared at herself in the mirror, with countless thoughts running through her mind.

Once upon a time, she was just a merchant's daughter and had never dreamed of marrying the noble Marquis Dingyuan, let alone having the honor of entering the palace to attend a banquet.

All this is thanks to the extraordinary talent of their Lord!

"Has Qin Lian arrived?" Lady Dingyuan Hou stood up and asked gently to the old nanny beside her.

"Here we are. The Second Miss has received your notification and has been waiting outside the door for a long time. It's just that..."

When the nanny beside Marquis Dingyuan's wife said this, she glanced at her wife's expression with a little hesitation, and swallowed the words back.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Lady Dingyuan Hou frowned slightly and urged in a firm tone.

"The Second Miss did come, but... she also brought Ji Yinli's two illegitimate children..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan became furious. She slammed the table and walked out of the inner room angrily.

Sure enough, at a glance, Gu Qinlian was seen sitting there with a sullen face, and there were two children beside her. They were Ji Yinli's illegitimate children!

The two children seemed a little shy and wary. They looked at this luxurious mansion carefully, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
