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

After hearing this, Zheng Dinglian's ears couldn't help but blush. He coughed awkwardly and ignored Princess Lao Duan. Instead, he turned to Gu Qinlan and said apologetically:

"Mother was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously."

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly. She had something on her mind and did not pay much attention to what Princess Lao Duan said. Instead, she asked with concern:

"Does Prince Duan feel tired after returning from the palace?"

Zheng Dinglian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's all carried by people, it doesn't take much effort, how can you be tired?"

Gu Qinlan nodded gently and said gently, "With my superb medical skills, I will be able to make you recover in less than half a year. However, even after recovery, this matter must be kept secret."

"Yes, I understand."

Gu Qinlan paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the old princess and said solemnly:

"Mother, I have something important to discuss with Prince Duan, please..."

Originally, when the old princess heard Zheng Dinglian's inappropriate words, she wanted to blame him, but when she heard Gu Qinlan's voice, she immediately changed her mind and said softly:

"That's great. I asked the servants to prepare some steamed cheese with sugar. I have to go and see if it's ready. You two can continue talking."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old princess wanted to turn around and look for the three little guys, but she found that Zheng Fenghui and the others had disappeared quietly without her knowing.

Although she was slightly surprised, the old princess did not delve into it and left with a smile.

After the old princess disappeared, Gu Qinlan slowly sat down on the chair next to Zheng Dinglian. After thinking for a moment, she asked directly:

"Why are you asking for my permission today? Didn't we agree that..."

Before Gu Qinlan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zheng Dinglian:

“Because you are more valuable.”

Zheng Dinglian's voice was deep and powerful, and it spoke loud and clear.

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan showed a bit of surprise on her face. She raised her eyes in confusion and met Zheng Dinglian's eyes, which were as deep as the abyss and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

At this moment, Gu Qinlan's heart was slightly moved. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zheng Dinglian smiling gently. His originally serious and resolute face suddenly had a bit of tenderness like a spring breeze.

His deep eyes were fixed on Gu Qinlan, and he explained in a serious and sincere tone:

"Since you have chosen me and Prince Duan's Mansion, no matter what the reason is - maybe it's because you love those three children, or maybe it's because you respect my mother!"

"But no matter what, I can't bear to put you in danger."

After a short pause, Zheng Dinglian's voice became softer, and his eyes looking at Gu Qinlan revealed a bit of tenderness, which was very touching:

"Now, you have been personally named a princess by the emperor, and your status is noble. Even if something unexpected happens to Prince Duan's mansion, you can protect yourself as a princess."

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but widen her eyes, and a look of shock appeared on her beautiful face.

She stared at Zheng Dinglian, and was almost attracted by his eyes that were so deep that they seemed to devour her soul.

Zheng Dinglian's face was full of sincerity, which was touching.

Ever since Zheng Dinglian came to the court, handed over the tiger talisman and asked the emperor to witness the marriage, everyone has stepped into the chess game he carefully arranged.

He was well aware of the emperor's doubts, so he used the tiger talisman to temporarily appease the emperor.

He then raised the emperor's expectations by asking for grace.

In the end, he did not mention anything else and only asked the emperor to witness the marriage. This small request immediately lowered the emperor's expectations.

Among the requests for grace that were enough to trigger murderous intent in the emperor's mind, Zheng Dinglian's trivial request for a marriage witness seemed insignificant and instantly lowered the emperor's guard.

Zheng Dinglian was convinced that as an emperor, it was impossible for him to agree to such a small request as to be the witness of his wedding. He would definitely give corresponding compensation to demonstrate the emperor's kindness.

Zheng Dinglian's mention of Gu Qinlan was undoubtedly a hint to the emperor about her importance.

Therefore, if the emperor decides to bestow rewards, he will definitely favor Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan has already ascended to the position of Princess Duan. Although her name has not yet been recorded in the royal family's jade book, looking at the world, even the powerful and influential first-rank imperial consorts can hardly compare to her! After all, what else can better demonstrate the royal favor than the dignity of a princess?

There is no other way except to confer the title of princess on Gu Qinlan, adopt her as an adopted daughter, and elevate her status!

It can be said that Zheng Dinglian's insight into and control over human hearts has reached an amazing level!

After Gu Qinlan saw through all this, he was even more shocked and couldn't help asking:

"You have been planning from the beginning, luring the emperor into your chess game step by step?"

Zheng Dinglian rarely saw a hint of lively emotion flash across Gu Qinlan's usually calm face. He couldn't help but smile gently and said softly:

"You have contributed so much to Prince Duan's Mansion, and I should also make some plans for you. Since we have become a family, how can I let you make only one contribution? This is unreasonable."

Gu Qinlan fell into silence.

This was the first time she felt so upset.

She never thought that Zheng Dinglian would go to such great lengths to plan for her!

After all, she and Zheng Dinglian had only known each other for a short time and their feelings were still shallow, so how could there be any deep emotional foundation?

Even when Yinli sought an imperial decree for her in the previous century, it was only out of consideration for the honor of the Ji family.

But Zheng Dinglian is different.

His deliberate plan was just for her, to give her peace and life!

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but speak, and asked with a slightly trembling voice:

"Is it worth it to exchange the tiger talisman for my life?"

Gu Qinlan knew very well that this was an unspoken exchange between Zheng Dinglian and the emperor.

But the tiger talisman represents thousands of troops and symbolizes half of the country.

Is it worth it?

"worth."

Zheng Dinglian's voice was soft but full of determination.

Then, Zheng Dinglian smiled at Gu Qinlan and said sincerely:

"You don't need to feel any psychological burden. This tiger talisman may seem priceless, but in my hands, it is nothing more than a death talisman."

"It's always a good thing to be able to use it while it still has value, isn't it?"

Although Zheng Dinglian said so, Gu Qinlan understood that he was just comforting himself.

The tiger talisman is both a death talisman and a life-saving talisman!

As long as Zheng Dinglian does not hand him over, the emperor will be wary and will protect Prince Duan's Mansion.

Now, after Zheng Dinglian handed over the tiger talisman, the fate of Prince Duan's Mansion depends entirely on the emperor's wishes.

Without the tiger talisman, it would be easy for the emperor to deal with Prince Duan's Mansion.

Gu Qinlan pursed her lips slightly, stared at Zheng Dinglian, thought for a moment, and finally said seriously:

"I understand that you are doing this out of good intentions, but since we are already husband and wife, we should face the ups and downs together and move forward hand in hand."

"Furthermore, this move is extremely risky. If you make a mistake, it will lead to the collapse of the entire system. No matter what plans you make in the future, you must discuss them with me and never make decisions on your own again."

It’s not that Gu Qinlan doesn’t know what’s good for her, but she knows in her heart that since they are in the same boat, communication between them is particularly important.

No matter what great strategies Zheng Dinglian has, they should stick to the belief of mutual trust.

Only in this way can the Prince Duan's Mansion be as solid as a rock, and everyone can be at ease and enjoy the beauty of life for a long time.
