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

"We were supposed to arrive today, but we received a message this morning saying that the carriage was unfortunately damaged. I'm afraid we will be delayed for a while, but we should be able to return tonight." Wocan replied.

Gu Qinlan nodded and clenched the letter tighter in her fingers.

At this moment, Xiang Zhu suddenly exclaimed and looked out the window in surprise.

"This, this, this..."

Hearing the voice, Gu Qinlan subconsciously turned her head to look.

Outside the window, in the courtyard, a group of guards came in one after another carrying heavy sandalwood boxes.

Lou Wei walked in front, and Wei Lin followed closely behind.

The boxes were neatly placed in Gu Qinlan's courtyard. Lou Wei and Wei Lin then entered the room together and bowed respectfully to Gu Qinlan:

"Princess." Lou Wei's voice was low, humble and polite.

"Princess!" Wei Lin's voice was loud and majestic.

Gu Qinlan looked at the two of them in surprise and couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

It was puzzling that so many boxes were delivered so early in the morning.

"Princess, this is the 100,000 taels of silver that the court recently awarded to the prince, as well as some cloth and jewelry. The prince ordered us to deliver them all to you."

Although Gu Qinlan had seen silver notes worth one hundred thousand taels of silver before, this was the first time she had seen such a huge amount of cash with her own eyes.

Xiang Zhu and Wo Can couldn't wait to open the box, and the treasures in the box were immediately dazzling.

"Wow! I'm rich!" Xiang Zhu couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Qinlan looked at Xiang Zhu helplessly, then turned to Lou Wei and asked curiously:

"Prince Duan didn't keep any for himself?"

Obviously, Zheng Dinglian handed over all the rewards given by the court to her without reservation. Gu Qinlan knew Zheng Dinglian's character very well. Although he was the dignified Prince Duan, most of his salary had been used to comfort the soldiers who died heroically on the battlefield, and his own savings were almost gone. Otherwise, when she first entered the Prince Duan's mansion, her financial situation would not have been so stretched. Now, he seemed to really hand over everything to her without reservation.

Lou Wei smiled slightly, shook his head gently and said: "Our prince has stated that as the mistress of the palace, these properties should be managed by you. Oh, yes, there is also this." Lou Wei seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. It turned out that these were deeds for some manors and shops.

"This..." She began doubtfully.

"These are the deeds to all the shops and farms owned by the prince. The prince asked me to hand them over to the princess." Lou Wei explained calmly.

"That's right, that's right! The prince is now a 'pauper'! The princess can command the prince as she pleases from now on! If you tell him to go east, he will never dare to go west; if you tell him to fight dogs, he will never dare to fight chickens!" Wei Lin said seriously.

"Puchi." Wocan and Xiangzhu couldn't help but laugh at the same time. Which side is this Wei Lin on?

However, Wei Lin seemed to be smart this time. When he heard the two people laughing, he immediately patted his chest and said seriously: "Don't laugh! Although I was disrespectful to the princess before, now I stand on her side wholeheartedly!"

Gu Qinlan smiled softly, looking at Wei Lin's serious look, she couldn't help but feel a little curious. She felt that she had never shown any kindness to Wei Lin. Ever since she entered Prince Duan's Mansion, Wei Lin had been wary of her. Although she later cured Zheng Dinglian, Wei Lin's attitude improved, but... even if she cured Zheng Dinglian, it would not make Wei Lin so attentive.

After Wei Lin expressed his loyalty, he saw a smile in Gu Qinlan's eyes, and knew that she was in a very good mood, so he spoke a little shyly and asked carefully: "By the way, Princess, I mentioned before that Xu Yunxuan would marry you. I wonder if you have chosen an auspicious day? Is there anything else I need to prepare?"

Gu Qinlan heard this, combined with Wei Lin's flattering behavior, and suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This Wei Lin, his loyalty to Zheng Dinglian is really admirable! He flattered her so much, it turned out that he wanted to help Zheng Dinglian take Xu Yunxuan into the mansion as soon as possible.

Gu Qinlan looked at the room full of boxes and pursed her lips slightly. No wonder he was trying to please her so much, it turned out that he was worried that Xu Yunxuan would wait too long. Her body had not yet recovered, but Zheng Dinglian was already impatient. It seemed that even heroes on the battlefield could not resist the temptation of beauty.

Gu Qinlan turned to look at Xiang Zhu, who immediately said, "I've already inquired about it. The 28th of this month, the 16th in three months, and the 7th of November in half a year are all auspicious days."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan turned to Wei Lin and said, "Why not ask Prince Duan to see which day he prefers."

"No need, no need. The sooner the better. I think the 28th of this month is suitable." Wei Lin seemed a little flattering at this moment, and a blush appeared on his honest and dark face.

Gu Qinlan did not doubt his intentions and nodded gently, saying, "It would be better to handle it as soon as possible. We have kept Miss Xu waiting for too long." She thought for a moment, then took out a gift from the brocade box that had been prepared long ago, handed it to Wei Lin and said, "This is a small gift from the palace. Although it is not much, we will double the supply after Miss Xu enters the palace. You should also tell Miss Xu to be prepared."

"Okay, okay! I will leave immediately as ordered! Thank you, Princess." Wei Lin was filled with joy and left happily. Lou Wei looked at Wei Lin who quickly disappeared from his sight, and a trace of jealousy rose in his heart. This silly boy, he can get a beautiful woman right after returning! How enviable!

After Lou Wei and the others left, Xiang Zhu could no longer suppress her doubts and murmured in a low voice: "Miss, how can you be so calm? Although I understand that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but, can you really not care?"

Gu Qinlan smiled when he heard this, and walked to the boxes filled with silver, picked up a few ingots, and threw them to Xiang Zhu easily. Xiang Zhu hurriedly caught them, and Gu Qinlan asked, "Are you happy about the reward?"

Xiang Zhu held the silver tightly in her arms, at least fifty taels! As Gu Qinlan's personal maid, her monthly salary was naturally quite generous. However, fifty taels was also a considerable income for her, how could she not be happy?

"I'm happy...but how can the two be compared?" Xiang Zhu pouted and said with some confusion.

Gu Qinlan smiled again, picked up a few more ingots of silver and stuffed them into her hands, then asked, "How about this?"

Xiang Zhu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Xiang Zhu understands! The eldest lady's ambition is not to compete for favor in the cold harem. Only the real power in your hands is real!"

Gu Qinlan looked at Xiang Zhu's righteous expression and couldn't help laughing. She gently pinched her cheek and said, "I have seen Xu Yunxuan before. She is not the kind of person who is restless. There is no need to worry about disputes if she is accepted into the mansion."

Gu Qinlan is not a stupid person, so why would he bring trouble upon himself?
