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

Marquis Dingyuan then took Yao away and wisely did not make any extra comments.

After the figure of Marquis Dingyuan disappeared, the old princess came forward, tightly held Gu Qinlan's hand, and asked with a worried look on her face:

"Kid, are you okay? I heard that you were treated unfairly, so I came here immediately. Fortunately, I didn't miss it."

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently, smiled, helped the old princess sit down, and answered gently:

"Qin Lan is grateful for my mother's concern."

Upon hearing this, the old princess smiled with relief, then turned her gaze to Zheng Dinglian and couldn't help but blame him:

"Look at you. You can't even protect your own wife, and you almost got bullied! How can I trust Qin Lan to you?"

Zheng Dinglian felt embarrassed and helpless because of the old princess' criticism, and there was a hint of bitterness in his wry smile.

This sounded as if he was a live-in son-in-law.

Zheng Dinglian did not argue, but patiently coaxed the old princess and said sincerely:

"My mother taught me this, and my son will remember it in his heart. He will be more careful in the future."

Seeing this, the old princess' expression finally eased. She held Gu Qinlan's hand tightly and said earnestly:

"Qin Lan, you must remember that Ding Lian sincerely wants to marry you at all times. You should stand up straight and move forward with confidence!"

"If Ding Lian dares to bully you, just tell me. There are several outstanding young men in my mother's family who are worthy of you."

Zheng Dinglian heard this and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but whispered, "Mom!"

The old princess glanced at him, a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes, then she pulled Gu Qinlan and whispered:

"You know, when Ding Lian got your calligraphy and painting by chance, he kept praising it in front of us."

"He said, 'You can tell a person by his handwriting', 'There is character and integrity in his handwriting', and he also said, 'If I were to marry, I would marry someone who could write to such a high standard'."

Having said that, a proud blush appeared on the old princess' face.

She took great pains to find out that the calligraphy and painting came from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and then she took it to propose marriage, and Zheng Dinglian had indeed expressed his wish in this way.

After all, the old Prince Duan had just passed away, and the old princess wanted to arrange a marriage for Zheng Dinglian during the mourning period, but she also wanted to respect Zheng Dinglian's wishes.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard the old princess' words.

In the reincarnation of the past, she accidentally uncovered the dusty past, and just then she realized that the person that the envoy sent by Prince Duan’s Mansion to propose marriage to was actually her.

At that time, one of her calligraphy and painting was accidentally leaked at a poetry club. Unexpectedly, by chance, it eventually fell into the hands of Prince Duan.

What is even more surprising is that the reason why Princess Laoduan wanted to marry her was because Zheng Dinglian once praised that calligraphy and painting.

If Yao had not kept this matter secret in her previous life, she might have already become Zheng Dinglian's wife.

In fact, Gu Qinlan did have doubts.

After all, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has been in decline, and generally speaking, it is difficult to attract the attention of court dignitaries like the Duanwang Mansion.

Gu Qinlan initially thought that the old princess might be worried that the Prince Duan's Mansion was already too powerful and would attract attention. If she married a woman of equally prominent family background, it would arouse the emperor's suspicion even more. Therefore, she chose the declining Marquis Dingyuan Mansion.

However, now it seems that the old princess is focused on her work, so why would she consider those political schemes? She is just acting out of a loving mother's heart.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan smiled warmly at the old princess and said softly, "Qinlan and Prince Duan's Mansion have formed an indissoluble bond."

"That's right. You are not only destined to be with Prince Duan's Mansion, but you are also destined to be with Ding Lian of our family! When Ding Lian recovers, if he can give birth to a few more sons and daughters, I will be able to rest in peace even if I die."

"Mother……"

Zheng Dinglian cried out in embarrassment when he saw Princess Lao Duan talking about private topics without any scruples.

Princess Lao Duan glanced at Zheng Dinglian and said with a humorous smile:

"How could a great God of War be ashamed?"

Gu Qinlan was calm when she heard Princess Duan's teasing.

She had been married in her previous life, so how could she be shy like a young girl when hearing these words?

But... Gu Qinlan's eyes fell on Zheng Dinglian who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Although his face was serious, a pink hue had already appeared from his ears to his neck.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in amusement, and a few teasing thoughts came to her mind. She smiled and said:

"Mother still needs to take care of her health. It will take time for Prince Duan to recover. Even if he can walk again, if she wants to have a child, she will need to take care of herself slowly."

"Oh? Really? Qinlan, tell your mother the truth. The poison in Dinglian's body won't affect fertility, right?"

Upon hearing this, the old princess suddenly became nervous, and held Gu Qinlan's hand tightly, her face full of worry.

"Please rest assured, mother. Qinlan will do her best." Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Dinglian's face, which was as red as a cooked shrimp. She held back her smile and made a solemn promise to the old princess, pretending she hadn't seen it.

The old princess breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but say, "Then you must nourish Ding Lian well. You haven't even had your wedding night yet, so I cannot let you remain a widow..."

"mother……"

Zheng Dinglian finally couldn't help it and interrupted the old princess awkwardly.

When the old princess saw her son's embarrassed look, she immediately understood and shut up, with a playful look in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan didn't want to embarrass Zheng Dinglian anymore, so she coughed lightly, changed the subject, and said seriously:

"By the way, Feng Hui is already eight years old. He has a calm personality and acts like an elder brother. I think it's time to ask for him to be crowned as the Crown Prince. Prince Duan, what do you think?"

When Gu Qinlan said this, Zheng Dinglian and the old princess couldn't help but look at her in surprise, as if they had never expected Gu Qinlan to make such a suggestion.

After careful consideration, the old princess could no longer suppress her inner concern and spoke in a solemn tone:

"Qin Lan, as Zheng Dinglian's principal wife, the position of the Crown Prince of Prince Duan's Mansion should be inherited by the child you bear..."

Facing the old princess's heartfelt words, Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly and said seriously:

"Feng Hui has a steady personality. He is fully capable of protecting the peace of the family. What does it matter whether he is my biological son or not? Besides..."

She paused slightly, a warm smile flashed across her eyes, and continued:

"Since they came to me, I have treated Fenghui as my own children. If Fenghui is willing, mother and Prince Duan can just officially register them under my name, and it will be a natural thing to do."

In fact, these plans had already been discussed by Gu Qinlan, Zheng Fenghui and others, but she did not mention them because Zheng Dinglian had not returned yet.

Now that Zheng Dinglian has returned, the children should naturally be given the status they deserve.

"But... this is still not appropriate after all. Those children..."

The old princess seemed a little anxious. She glanced at Zheng Dinglian and seemed to have something to say. However, Zheng Dinglian stopped the old princess and turned his gaze to Gu Qinlan, asking sincerely:

"Do you really want them to have your last name?"
