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

Xiang Zhu understood immediately and quickly took out a handful of golden melon seeds and gave them to the eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair.

"Thank you for your hard work, eunuchs. These golden melon seeds can be used as tea money." Gu Qinlan said to the eunuchs with a smile and a gentle tone.

After receiving the reward money, the eunuchs smiled with joy and thanked her repeatedly. They really didn't expect that the Princess Duan was such a kind and generous master!

After all, they were sent by the Queen, so it was not necessary to give them money. However, this Princess Duan not only gave generously, but was also extremely generous...

After the eunuchs happily left, Princess Lao Duan gently held Gu Qinlan's hand and patted it a few times, her eyes full of love, and whispered in a soothing voice:

"These days, you have worked hard to manage the household affairs, which has made the treasury of Prince Duan's Mansion increasingly rich. I have seen all of this and I keep it in mind."

Alas, it was because your mother was not proficient in the ways of business that you inherited such a difficult mess.

"It's not easy for you to make money. These are their duties. Why spend extra money?"

Gu Qinlan gazed at the pity and concern on Princess Laoduan's face, knowing that her heartache came from sincere care, and a few warm smiles involuntarily revealed in her eyes.

This long-lost maternal love deeply moved her.

She could not reveal to the old Princess Duan that everything she did in the Prince Duan's Mansion was actually to make her life more superior.

She was not a noble person who was indifferent to worldly affairs. She knew the value of money very well. That was why she targeted those shops first.

Even now, she can be said to have complete control over the shops in the palace. Even if Princess Lao Duan takes action in person or Zheng Dinglian returns, it would be difficult to take them back.

Money is always the foundation of a person's livelihood.

However, she had never expected that her selfish desire would appear so perfect in the eyes of Princess Lao Duan, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Mother, I don't feel tired. These necessary social activities are beneficial to us."

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued to explain in a more profound tone:

"It's easy to see Yama, but hard to deal with little ghosts. Being kind to others may come in handy at a critical moment."

In his previous life, Gu Qinlan traveled across the country and witnessed countless people and things.

The reason why many people fail is that they look down on those seemingly insignificant little people.

Never underestimate anyone at any time!

This is the survival wisdom she has learned from life!

Besides, these are just some insignificant favors, but they can win you a good reputation and make these eunuchs grateful to you, so what's wrong with that?

The troubles in the world are all caused by profit; the noise in the world is all caused by profit. This is true for the people in the world, and even more so for the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

If you can give them benefits, then next time when you enter the palace to do business, these eunuchs and palace maids will naturally rush to serve you. Why not?

Princess Lao Duan listened to Gu Qinlan's explanation and suddenly realized something.

Princess Lao Duan looked at her beautiful daughter-in-law and found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

Her son is too upright in his conduct, while her daughter-in-law is delicate and gentle. They are a perfect match with both strength and gentleness!

"Qin Lan is right. I have learned a lot of wisdom from you! From now on, what Qin Lan says is the truth. We in Prince Duan's Mansion will obey you! Even Ding Lian must follow your wishes."

Gu Qinlan listened to the old princess's praise and looked at her joyful expression. She couldn't help but smile and said gently, "Then I'll trouble you, mother. You just need to enjoy your old age and enjoy your blessings to the fullest."

“Hahaha… Wonderful, wonderful!”

The old princess held Gu Qinlan's hands tightly, her laughter became louder, filled with endless joy.

Suddenly, a soft and warm voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between the old princess and Gu Qinlan.

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw at the entrance of the hall a person wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a dazzling phoenix crown inlaid with countless gems and pearls, looking extraordinary and noble.

Her face is like a full moon, round and plump, her figure is well-proportioned, and her manners are graceful.

Gu Qinlan guessed the identity of the woman in front of him at a glance, and immediately bowed to her together with the old princess:

"My Queen, may you live a long and healthy life."

The Queen stepped forward with a smile, gently helped the old Princess Duan up, and then glanced at Gu Qinlan kindly, saying gently:

"Get up quickly. Old Princess, you are not in good health. Why do you need to do this?"

Princess Lao Duan stood up and looked at the Queen, her face full of intimacy and a hint of humility, and she said softly:

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am still very strong. How dare I trouble Your Majesty to come and greet me in person?"

"We have known each other for many years. I have long regarded you, my old princess, as one of my own relatives. Why do you have to be so polite?"

The Queen's words were somewhat reluctant.

After all, when the emperor was conquering all over the world, his original queen had a close relationship with the old princess, and the queen in front of him was just the original queen's younger sister.

The emperor at that time had not yet ascended the throne, so how deep could the feelings between him and the old princess be?

However, the old princess would naturally not say this out loud.

The reason why the queen treated her so seriously and was so polite to her was obviously because of Zheng Dinglian.

However, the old princess did not dare to get too close to the queen. Although she did not know much about the affairs of the court, she also understood that the princes now had their own thoughts and the struggle was fierce.

And this son of the queen is none other than the ninth prince who has recently attracted much attention due to the emperor's rebuke.

If the old princess gets too close to the queen, it might lead to criticism. Some people might mistake her for an accomplice of the Ninth Prince, which would affect Zheng Dinglian's reputation.

So, at this delicate moment, the old princess hurriedly declined humbly:

"The monarch has his own duties, and the ministers have their own duties. How dare I think of overstepping the boundaries?"

When the queen heard this, she immediately understood the old princess' intention. She didn't take it seriously, but smiled lightly and turned her gaze to Gu Qinlan:

"Could this be Princess Duan? Look at her appearance, she is truly a beauty, even the Imperial Concubine Yao, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the palace, is inevitably eclipsed in front of her. I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw her, no wonder the old princess smiled so happily just now."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a slight shock in her heart.

The queen seems kind and amiable, but her words are like thorns hidden in cotton.

As everyone knows, Imperial Concubine Yao was deeply favored by the Emperor. She entered the harem at a young age, was promoted to Imperial Concubine in just a few years, and gave birth to the twelfth prince.

The emperor had a son in his later years, so he naturally treated him as a treasure and was even more fond of Concubine Yao and the young twelfth prince.

Once the Queen's words were spread, no matter whether they were true or false, even if the peerless and charming Imperial Concubine Yao could not do anything to the Queen, she would definitely set up obstacles in secret.

At that moment, Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, bowed to the queen, and said gently:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman. How can I be compared with the beautiful Concubine Yao, who Your Majesty praised so highly?"
