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

Gu Qinlan smiled and followed the lead of the matchmaker to the wedding hall of Prince Duan's Mansion without any obstruction.

The hall was filled with red candles and covered with brocade, creating a festive atmosphere. The old princess sat on the main seat, looking at her with a kind and expectant gaze.

Gu Qinlan stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Daughter-in-law Gu Qinlan greets mother."

The old princess smiled slightly, helped her up herself, looked her up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "What a great Gu Qinlan, she is indeed as beautiful as her reputation says, and she is both beautiful and dignified. My son is so lucky."

Gu Qinlan blushed and whispered, "Mother, you are too kind. I cannot bear it."

At this time, the maid brought a cup of tea as a greeting.

Gu Qinlan took it with both hands, walked to the old princess, bent her legs, knelt down respectfully, and said softly: "Mother, please have some tea."

"Okay!" The old princess smiled slightly, took the teacup, took a sip gently, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

After drinking the tea, the old princess said again: "Lan'er, from now on, this is your home. If you have anything, just tell me."

Gu Qinlan's eyes were red, and she said gratefully: "Mother, you are so caring. I am grateful to you."

The old princess smiled and patted her hands, saying, "Okay, you're welcome. Wait for my son to come back and we'll do the wedding ceremony together. You've just entered the family today, so I've prepared a gift for you."

After that, the old princess took out an exquisite jade pendant from her sleeve, handed it to Gu Qinlan, and said, "This is a family heirloom jade pendant from our Prince Duan's Mansion. You should keep it well and pass it on to your descendants in the future."

Gu Qinlan carefully took the jade pendant, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said: "I will definitely live up to my mother's expectations and take good care of this jade pendant."

The old princess looked at Gu Qinlan and smiled, "Lan'er, I heard that you are smart, knowledgeable and well-mannered. After seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved. In the future, you must take good care of Prince Duan, manage the household affairs well, and make Prince Duan's mansion more prosperous."

Gu Qinlan bowed her head slightly and responded respectfully: "Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will do her best to serve the Prince Duan's Mansion."

A trace of relief flashed in the old princess' eyes. She patted Gu Qinlan's hand and said, "Okay, I believe you. However, if you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

Gu Qinlan's heart warmed up, her eyes moistened, and she said gratefully: "I will remember your teachings, mother, and will do my best in the future to live up to your love."

Gu Qinlan was about to leave the wedding hall when suddenly, a cute and lovely little girl called out in a crisp voice, "Bride, I heard that your dowry is quite rich. Can you sing for us?"

The sound was crisp, like pearls falling on a jade plate, and immediately attracted the attention of all the guests.

The old princess sat in the main seat with a smile on her face, but a hint of worry could not be concealed in her eyes.

She looked at Gu Qinlan, and saw that she was wearing a red wedding dress, with delicate makeup and beautiful appearance, but her face looked a little embarrassed at this moment.

"This child is so outspoken." The old princess scolded in a low voice, but her tone revealed her fondness for the little girl.

The guests began to whisper to each other.

Gu Qinlan looked at the little girl and saw that she had a pair of innocent big eyes, her eyes were clear and transparent, and she seemed to be just out of curiosity.

At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes walked up to the little girl, with a barely perceptible sharpness in his eyes.

The guests in the wedding hall couldn't help but look at him, because he was Zheng Fenghui, the eldest son of Prince Duan Zheng Dinglian.

"Feng Hui, don't be rude." The old princess' voice rang out in the wedding hall, majestic yet gentle.

Zheng Fenghui nodded slightly, bowed in the direction of his grandmother, then turned to look at Gu Qinlan with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Mother, my sister is young and ignorant. I hope you can forgive me if I have done anything inappropriate." Although Zheng Fenghui was speaking to Gu Qinlan, his eyes were always on her dowry.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of toughness in her smile. "Young Master, you are too serious. Children are just children, so why take it to heart?"

Zheng Fenghui curled his lips and smiled, and there was a deep meaning in that smile that was hard to grasp. "Mother, you are so generous, I really admire you. However, Hui'er does have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can do us a favor and let us see your dowry?"

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly. She naturally understood what Zheng Fenghui meant. He was questioning the indecency of her dowry and wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone.

"The matter of dowry is a woman's private matter and is not for outsiders to interfere with." Gu Qinlan's voice was calm and firm.

Zheng Fenghui's eyes flashed with admiration, but he immediately regained his composure: "Mother misunderstood. Hui'er didn't mean to offend me. I was just curious."

Gu Qinlan was not angry. She smiled slightly and said calmly, "You just want to embarrass me in front of everyone and make me lose face in Prince Duan's mansion. However, I am already the wife of Prince Duan Zheng Dinglian. We all have our dignity together. I will not get angry because of your gossip. You and your sister are still young. As your stepmother, I will certainly not care about anything."

Zheng Fenghui and his sister Zheng Huiyi looked at each other and were both stunned.

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Fenghui, smiled brightly, and waved gently. The maid Xiang Zhu beside her immediately stepped forward and presented a painting with both hands.

Zheng Fenghui took the calligraphy and painting, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He slowly unfolded the scroll, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, and then turned into surprise.

Taoist Cangshan's brushstrokes were vigorous and his lines were smooth, as if the clouds in the mountains were about to jump out of the paper.

"This, this is truly the authentic work of Taoist Cangshan!" Zheng Fenghui exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Feng Hui, this is a little gift from me, I hope you like it."

"This painting is priceless. I am really flattered that you gave it to me." Zheng Fenghui said excitedly, with respect for Gu Qinlan revealed between his brows.

Gu Qinlan turned her head and looked at Zheng Huiyi again, and said with a smile: "Huiyi, I also have a gift for you."

Zheng Huiyi widened her eyes and looked at Gu Qinlan curiously. Xiang Zhu took an exquisite box from Gu Qinlan and opened it, revealing a glass jade bracelet.

In the sunlight, the bracelet has a faint glow like flowing water waves, and it feels warm to the touch.

Zheng Huiyi took the bracelet, her eyes lit up, and she gently stroked the glazed jade on the bracelet, feeling very happy.

I couldn't help but put the bracelet on my wrist, looked at it from left to right, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this bracelet is so beautiful!"

Gu Qinlan narrowed her eyes and said, "Huiyi, this bracelet is my blessing to you. I hope your life will be as clear and beautiful as this jade."

When everyone saw the gifts Gu Qinlan gave, they were all amazed at her taste and thoughtfulness.

Zheng Fenghui and Zheng Huiyi originally had doubts about Gu Qinlan's dowry, but now they felt respect for her.
