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

The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes, staring at the woman in front of him who had a cold appearance but firm words and provocative remarks.

He never expected that a woman could frustrate him so many times!

She even behaves strangely and has great eloquence!

The fourth prince suppressed his anger and forced a smile on his face, but his tone was cold as he said:

"Princess Duan is indeed an extraordinary woman, and her appearance is stunning. I wonder if Princess Duan has ever heard a saying?"

"Fourth Prince, please speak."

The fourth prince raised his lips slightly, and said in a gentle but chilling voice: "Beauty is short-lived..."

Gu Qinlan heard the threat from the Fourth Prince, but did not back down. Instead, he smiled calmly and said:

"Beauty is short-lived, heroes are short-lived, the road to the underworld is lonely and desolate, but this princess doesn't mind having a companion. But... maybe someone will set foot on that road before this princess?"

Gu Qinlan's words made the Fourth Prince's face change slightly, but he immediately regained his composure, bowed slightly to Gu Qinlan, and said:

"Then let us ride on the donkey and read the opera and see what happens."

Gu Qinlan watched the Fourth Prince walk away, then turned to Wocan and said,

"Keep close watch."

"Yes, sir..." replied Eyebags, his voice revealing determination and loyalty.

Gu Qinlan had no doubts in her heart. How could the Fourth Prince remain indifferent to her blatant provocation?

Although she had no illusions about using Sang Lingqiang's case to force the emperor to punish the Fourth Prince, but...

Again and again, it will fail in the end.

Once his personal credibility was questioned, given the emperor's personality, how could he tolerate it every time?

Gu Qinlan's lips curled up slightly, like a predator waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

At this moment, the old princess witnessed the conversation between Gu Qinlan and the fourth prince. She came over in a hurry and asked with a worried look on her face:

"Qin Lan, what did the Fourth Prince say to you just now? You must be careful. The reason your mother reminded you about the Fourth Prince is because Ding Lian mentioned it to me when he was in Beijing."

"Prince Duan once mentioned it?"

"That's right. Ding Lian once said that those who are good at forbearance, good at disguise, and seemingly unknown are actually cruel and ruthless."

Although the old princess did not understand why Zheng Dinglian made such remarks that day, she firmly believed that Zheng Dinglian was not a person who spoke nonsense.

Because of this, the old princess was worried about Gu Qinlan's contact with the Fourth Prince, fearing that Gu Qinlan would accidentally fall into a trap.

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said to the old princess with a firm gaze:

"Prince Duan is right, but mother, sometimes excessive concessions will only encourage others to be arrogant."

"We must make them understand that anyone who dares to plot against us will be made to pay the price!"

Only by making your opponents feel severe pain and fear will they be wary and retreat when they plot evil deeds.

After hearing this, the old princess' eyes flashed with surprise, and she said in a trembling voice: "Qin Lan, are you referring to Rong'en Temple..."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, and said firmly: "It's him."

Upon hearing this, the old princess clenched her fingers, a flash of anger flashed across her face, and she muttered in a low voice: "How dare he be so presumptuous? Our Prince Duan's Mansion has nothing to do with him, he..."

Gu Qinlan held the old princess's hand and said seriously:

"Mother, as the saying goes, 'A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure'..."

"Mother, Prince Duan is about to return to the capital. In the past, his military power was the glory of Prince Duan's Mansion and our golden ticket to immunity from death. But now, the world is at peace, and the military power in his hands will become... a death warrant."

It is precisely because of this that Gu Qinlan can't wait to give a strong warning to those who have intentions towards Prince Duan's Mansion!

The old princess took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the waves in her heart, looked at Gu Qinlan firmly, and said in a serious and concerned tone:

"Qin Lan, mother knows that you are determined, but you must remember that life is the most precious thing. No matter what action you will take, remember not to gamble with your own safety! If..."

"If Prince Duan's Mansion is really in a state where it cannot be preserved, mother does not want to involve you."

Gu Qinlan understood from the old princess's unwavering eyes that what she said was true, and there was no trace of joking in her tone.

Gu Qinlan felt a warm current in her heart, but she shook her head gently and said firmly: "That situation will never happen."

If a hero sheds tears on the earth, can the law of nature still distinguish right from wrong?

Perhaps this was Gu Qinlan's first time entering the palace, and everyone was full of curiosity and expectations about her.

At this time, without the authority in the hall, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Many guests came forward to toast Gu Qinlan and chat with him.

No matter what the top leaders were planning, at least at this moment, Prince Duan's Mansion was still majestic and admirable. Naturally, there were also people who wanted to befriend it and take advantage of its power.

Gu Qinlan did not reject these enthusiastic gestures. Instead, she smiled and responded with ease. Her manners were appropriate and she knew when to advance and retreat, which won her constant praise from everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but sincerely praise Gu Qinlan to Princess Lao Duan.

Princess Lao Duan had always been fond of Gu Qinlan. When she heard her daughter-in-law being praised so highly, she couldn't help but smile with pride and sincerity, and seemed extremely happy.

When everyone saw this, they understood even more clearly how much the old princess loved Gu Qinlan, and their praises became even more enthusiastic.

And all of this was watched silently by Gu Qinlian, with an unconcealable resentment and jealousy flashing in her eyes!

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, she was also Princess Duan and had participated in this Spring Banquet, but why had no one ever praised her like this?

She even remembered those people treating her coldly and mocking her for being just a crow climbing onto the branch of a phoenix!

However, now, Gu Qinlan seemed to have done nothing, but those people no longer mocked her.

Song stood aside, staring at Gu Qinlan with a dazed look, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

“Just like…just like…”

After thinking for a moment, Song turned her gaze to Gu Qinlian again, and suddenly held her hand tightly, saying in a serious and firm tone:

"Qin Lian, you must not lose to her! You must surpass her! Mother has already won, and you must also win this contest! In this life, we, mother and daughter, must stand above them and look down on the crowd. Do you understand?"

Seeing Song's almost frantic behavior, Gu Qinlian felt anxious and waved her hand away impatiently, with a hint of impatience in her tone:

"Relax, mother! Prince Duan will soon return triumphantly! Just wait and see with your own eyes the miserable sight of the once mighty Prince Duan struggling on the bed! As for me, be patient, I will definitely trample her under my feet in the near future! Besides..."

"What else?"

A sly light flashed in Gu Qinlian's eyes, and she chuckled, "Mother, you just need to wait for the show to begin."
