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

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Huiyi with concern and said, "I see Huiyi has no flesh on her cheeks and a pale complexion. Is it because she was not well taken care of when she was born that she is born weak?"

The old princess sighed, her eyes revealing a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow. She slowly spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "Yes, this child has been weak and sickly since she was young, which has caused me so much worry. This is also an eternal pain in my heart. When she was born, it was a very cold winter day, and the midwife was negligent, so she suffered a lot."

Gu Qinlan asked cautiously: "Princess, is there any good treatment for Huiyi's disease?"

The old princess smiled bitterly: "Over the years, we have consulted countless famous doctors and tried all kinds of methods, but they can only temporarily alleviate her condition and cannot cure it. Perhaps this is her fate."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She gently held the old princess's hand and said softly, "Princess, don't worry. Now that I have become Princess Duan, I will do my best to take good care of Huiyi. No matter what, I will find a way to make her recover."

The old princess looked at Gu Qinlan, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She patted Gu Qinlan's hand and said, "I understand, I know you will do your best. But this child has a somewhat willful personality, you may need more patience."

Zheng Huiyi's eyes flashed with gratitude when she heard this, but she soon regained her composure. She bit her lip lightly and looked at Gu Qinlan with a barely perceptible indifference in her tone: "Thank you for your concern, Princess, but Huiyi can take care of herself."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Zheng Huiyi to be so indifferent to her concern. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Huiyi, you are my daughter, so I will naturally care about you. If you have any difficulties in this mansion in the future, just come to me."

Seeing this, the old princess sighed inwardly.

Zheng Huiyi was dissatisfied with Gu Qinlan's coming into the family, after all, Gu Qinlan was her stepmother.

She patted Gu Qinlan's hand gently and signaled her with her eyes not to care too much about Zheng Huiyi's attitude.

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Mother, I can cure Huiyi's disease!"

The old princess was surprised and delighted, and said, "Qin Lan, just tell me what you want to say. As long as Huiyi can be cured, we in the Prince Duan's Mansion will do our best."

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment and said, "Mother, Huiyi's illness is not a one-day illness, and it needs to be treated from the source. I have a unique acupuncture therapy that may be able to relieve her pain. But this method is quite particular and requires your trust and support."

When the old princess heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but then she said firmly: "Qin Lan, I believe in you. Since you entered the sect, I have seen your talent and kindness. Since you said you have a way, please go ahead and do it. Everyone in Prince Duan's Mansion will support you."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Mother, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

After that, Gu Qinlan turned to Zheng Huiyi, and saw that she was trying to force a smile on her pale face, but her eyes were full of worry. Gu Qinlan comforted her softly, "Huiyi, don't worry, I will do my best to treat you. But before that, we need to discuss your condition in detail."

Zheng Huiyi nodded slightly, her expression revealing a hint of trust and expectation.

Gu Qinlan began to treat Zheng Huiyi. She would come to Huiyi's room every morning, feel her pulse, give her acupuncture, patiently ask about her feelings, and adjust the treatment plan. The old princess would also personally ask about Huiyi's condition every day and was full of confidence in Gu Qinlan's treatment.

However, the treatment process was not smooth sailing. Zheng Huiyi's condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and sometimes she even had severe pain. Whenever this happened, Gu Qinlan would frown and think silently. Zheng Huiyi saw this and couldn't help but worry.

One day, Zheng Huiyi couldn't help asking, "Mom, can my illness be cured?"

Gu Qinlan gently held her hand and said firmly, "Huiyi, you must have confidence. This disease is not terminal. As long as we work together, we will be able to defeat it. You must believe in me, and believe in yourself."

When Zheng Huiyi heard this, tears flashed in her eyes, but she held back her tears and said with a smile: "Mother, I believe in you. As long as you are here, I have confidence."

……

Back in the room, Xiang Zhu was furious at those kids, especially Zheng Huiyi's deliberate troublemaking.

Gu Qinlan smiled and explained to Xiang Zhu earnestly, "Since I am the mistress of Prince Duan's mansion, I should show the generosity of a legitimate mother to Prince Duan's three children."

As soon as Gu Qinlan finished speaking, Xiang Zhu leaned forward slightly, with a pair of bright eyes showing a bit of respect and worry, and responded softly: "What the princess said is right, but these three children seem to be alienated from the princess since she came into the family. I am worried that if the princess insists on being tough, it may alienate them even more."

Gu Qinlan smiled gently, with a hint of firmness and tenderness in her smile. She walked to the window, looked at the lush trees outside, and said slowly: "I know that they are suspicious of me, which is also human nature. But as the mistress of the house, I am not only responsible for them, but also for the entire Prince Duan's Mansion. Xiang Zhu, you have followed me here for several years. What kind of person do you think I am?"

Xiang Zhu thought for a moment, then said seriously: "The princess is kind-hearted and benevolent, and she cares deeply for everyone in the palace. However, she is too strong, making it difficult for people to approach her."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to Xiang Zhu, with a serious look on his face: "You are right. But in this Prince Duan's Mansion, I must be strong, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold. However, I will treat those three children in another way."

As he spoke, Gu Qinlan walked to the table, picked up a teacup, gently brushed off the dust on it, and handed it to Xiang Zhu: "First, tell me, what are the personalities and preferences of the three of them?"

Xiang Zhu took the teacup and said slowly, "The eldest son, Zheng Fenghui, has a calm personality and likes reading, especially poetry and songs; the second son, Zheng Fengyun, has the most lively personality and likes riding horses and archery, and is quite obsessed with martial arts. The third daughter, Zheng Huiyi, is lively and cheerful, likes playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is especially good at dancing."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, and had some ideas in mind. She looked at Xiang Zhu and said slowly: "In this case, let's start with their preferences. Starting tomorrow, I will go to the study to accompany Zheng Fenghui to study, so that he can slowly accept me; as for Zheng Huiyi, I will let her teach me to dance, and take this opportunity to enhance the relationship between us; as for Zheng Fengyun, I will accompany him to ride horses and shoot arrows, so that he knows that as a stepmother, I am not just strict."

Xiang Zhu listened to Gu Qinlan's words, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but Gu Qinlan's decision would not be easily changed, so she said softly: "Princess, you are so worried, but I am worried that if these three children deliberately make things difficult for you, how will you deal with it?"

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "If they really are like this, then let me test their character. If they can withstand the test, it will be a blessing for my Prince Duan's Mansion; if not, then it's my fault for not seeing their true nature clearly at the beginning."
