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

Zheng Dinglian smiled silently and nodded, "Your guess is correct. I am willing to follow your arrangements."

After a brief pause, Zheng Dinglian continued with a hint of melancholy:

"In my life, I spent the first few decades diligently studying the art of war without slacking off. In the following decades, I served in the army, stepping on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Now..."

"We have finally welcomed peace and tranquility everywhere. However, I am unable to leisurely appreciate this prosperous scene. My heart is filled with regrets!"

It is a pity that we cannot replace those fallen warriors to see this peaceful world.

I regret that I can’t accompany my mother in her old age, I regret that I can’t witness my children’s growth, I regret…

Zheng Dinglian thought of this and looked at Gu Qinlan, regretting that he could not get to know this amazing woman in depth...

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan's heart immediately calmed down.

Her thoughts were racing, and she had no time to pay attention to Zheng Dinglian's sadness. She just said calmly:

"In that case, in order to dispel the emperor's doubts, from now on, announce to the public that you are paralyzed from the waist down due to the poison and have difficulty moving!"

"As for this achievement, you still need to fight for it, but you can ask for the reward in the name of the women in the mansion! Your mother already has the status of a royal decree, so you can fight for a county lady title for Huiyi."

After all, just because the emperor doesn’t give rewards now doesn’t mean he won’t give them in the future!

This award is not only an honor to Prince Duan's Mansion, but also a respect and reward to soldiers all over the world!

If the emperor does not reward, who will be willing to serve the Western Wei in the future?

Therefore, whether from an emotional or rational point of view, the emperor will bestow rewards!

It’s just that the Emperor hasn’t figured out how to implement this reward yet, so we might as well make the request ourselves.

In the deep corners of the palace, an imperial decree to reward a woman was just a gentle breeze to the emperor, not enough to cause ripples of rejection, but would be gladly accepted instead.

In this delicate political chess game, the reward they sought was actually another obscure way of expressing loyalty and respect to the monarch on the throne. How could a minister who never troubled the emperor even though he was suffering from illness be said to be disloyal?

Even though the emperor still had doubts in his heart, at least for now, he had no intention of causing any more trouble in Prince Duan's Mansion.

"Now, we have come to the most critical step... Prince Duan, in your opinion, among the many princes, who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the future?"

Gu Qinlan glanced at Zheng Dinglian with a firm gaze and asked in a serious tone.

Now that we have decided to take this step, we naturally need to discuss it carefully in advance.

They must carefully select a wise leader, at least, he should be a monarch who can tolerate everything and be magnanimous. Otherwise, no matter how careful the plan is, it will ultimately be nothing but a mirage and a false hope.

As Zheng Dinglian listened to Gu Qinlan's strategy, his admiration for him surged like a tide and increased a bit.

This series of arrangements not only resolved the current crisis, but also brought great benefits to Prince Duan's Mansion.

At that moment, facing Gu Qinlan's question, Zheng Dinglian thought for a moment, then dipped his hand in the tea on the table, and then slowly wrote two vigorous and powerful words on the desk.

Gu Qinlan glanced at these two words, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she raised her head and asked Zheng Dinglian with a sharp gaze: "Do you really think so?"

Zheng Dinglian nodded slightly and explained in a serious tone, "Although his mother is favored, her family is weak, and the court looks down on him because of his mother's status. However, precisely because of this, he is more likely to be grateful for our assistance."

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay...it's settled then."

Zheng Dinglian smiled slightly, secretly rejoicing in his heart that he had finally found Gu Qinlan's weakness, and then slowly said, "I heard that Jiang Boyi is teaching the children in our house?"

"Yes, Jiang Boyi is my aunt's cousin." Gu Qinlan did not hide anything and introduced Jiang Boyi's background frankly.

Zheng Dinglian smiled when he heard this, and poured a cup of tea for Gu Qinlan. He said in a low and gentle voice: "Since I have been feeling unwell these days and cannot enter the palace, I will go to the palace when I get better and speak for that girl. Let her blow the wind by my pillow..."

"By then, it should be okay to ask Cousin Jiang to accept another student, right?"

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he smiled and said, "Of course."

At this moment, Jiang Boyi, who was directing Jiahong to quickly dig up the body, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose in confusion, looked around, and muttered to himself: "Why do I feel like someone is talking about me behind my back?"

Hearing this, Jia Hong wielded his hoe, dug a new pit, and said jokingly: "You had so many bodies dug up, how could anyone say bad things about you? I'm afraid it's those wronged souls who are looking for trouble with you..."

Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian discussed in the secret room for a long time and finally reached an agreement.

This life is very different from the previous one, but no matter what, Gu Qinlan hopes that Prince Duan's Mansion will have a bright future.

After all, the prosperity of Prince Duan's Mansion also means that she can live a better life.

True, she could choose to divorce and leave Prince Duan's Mansion, but she was well aware of the difficulties of this world.

As a woman, even if she has extraordinary abilities, without a strong background to support her, all her efforts may become stepping stones for others and become the ladder for others to climb to success.

After traveling through two lives, she knew that she had no choice but to follow God's will and enter the palace of marriage.

Only with the name of her husband's family can she let go of the constraints and give full play to her abilities.

Compared with the Ji family in her previous life, Gu Qinlan obviously favors the Prince Duan's Mansion in this world more.

It's not only because of the old princess's kindness, but also because of the innocence and sincerity of those children.

Now, after witnessing Zheng Dinglian, she couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy and respect for him.

She firmly believed that the Prince Duan's Mansion was in crisis at the moment, but if the danger could be overcome, she would be able to live a contented life in the years to come.

Just as Gu Qinlan whispered to Zheng Dinglian to get some rest and was about to leave, the door was suddenly slammed open.

"Don't be afraid, mother! Feng Yun is here to save you!"

Zheng Fengyun's childish voice echoed in the air, shocking Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian so much that they trembled.

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Fengyun standing at the door with his hands on his hips in an exaggerated posture, and couldn't help laughing:

"Feng Yun, what are you doing..."

Zheng Fengyun put on a posture that he thought was quite majestic. When he saw Gu Qinlan speak, he quickly gave her a look, which made Gu Qinlan confused.

Seeing this, Zheng Fengyun rushed in anxiously, ran to Gu Qinlan, spread his arms, blocked her, and glared at Zheng Dinglian:

"Father! You are really going too far! Feng Yun will never allow you to bully Mother!"

Zheng Dinglian looked at Zheng Fengyun's extremely serious expression, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, saying in a cold tone:

"Zheng Fengyun, do you want to be beaten again?"
