Jiang Wenyuan looked at Gu Qinlan and said gently: "Qinlan, today is your big day, don't cry. Remember, no matter when and where, your uncle will always support you."

Gu Qinlan nodded, tears streaming down her face, and she hugged her uncle tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Okay, Qinlan, it's getting late, you should leave." Jiang Wenyuan reminded softly.

Gu Qinlan reluctantly said goodbye to Jiang Wenyuan and turned to walk out.

This departure will mean that she will no longer be the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Duan's Mansion.

When she arrived at the front yard, Gu Qinlan saw the back of Zheng Dinglian, the prince of Prince Duan.

He had a tall and straight figure and an extraordinary bearing. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with anticipation flashing in her eyes.

The bridal sedan was carried steadily to Prince Duan's Mansion, and the wedding ceremony officially began. Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian completed all the etiquette.

As the sound of drums gradually faded away, she was taken to the bridal chamber.

In the new house, red candles are shining brightly and the atmosphere is warm.

Gu Qinlan sat on the mahogany bed, gently stroking her bright wedding dress, feeling both excited and nervous. Zheng Dinglian stood by, staring at her intently, his eyes full of anticipation and love.

After the matchmakers left the bridal chamber, the two of them were silent. Zheng Dinglian smiled and broke the silence: "Qin Lan, you should take a rest first. I'll go out and have a few drinks with the guests and come back later."

Gu Qinlan nodded gently, with a hint of shyness on her lips: "You should also take care of your body and don't drink too much."

Zheng Dinglian smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I will."

After Zheng Dinglian left, Gu Qinlan looked at the decoration in the new house, feeling filled with emotion.

The wedding room in Prince Duan's mansion was decorated in a particularly festive way, with big red wedding characters all over the walls, and the curtains, bedding, and pillows were all brand new. In addition to red candles, there were also several pots of flowers in the room, emitting a faint fragrance.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was Princess Duan who walked in with a group of maids.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress, a phoenix crown on her head, and a thin layer of powder on her face, which made her look even more beautiful.

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan and said with a smile, "Qinlan, congratulations on marrying Ding Lian and becoming the Crown Prince's Consort of our Prince Duan's Mansion. Today is your big day, so you should be happy."

Gu Qinlan stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I will."

Princess Duan walked to the bed, sat down, and looked at Gu Qinlan with a loving look in her eyes: "Qinlan, you are a good child. Since you entered Prince Duan's mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion has become much more cheerful. You and Ding Lian must support each other and spend the future together."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best to let the prince live a happy life."

At this time, a matchmaker came in, holding a plate of red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds, and said, "Princess, this symbolizes the birth of a son soon. I wish you and your wife happiness and contentment."

Princess Duan took the fruit plate and handed it to Gu Qinlan: "Princess, you can eat some of these fruits, and let the servants share the rest."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, picked up a red date and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste warmed her heart.

After seeing off Princess Duan, Gu Qinlan impatiently called Hongye and Fuyu. Hongye and Fuyu came in upon hearing the voice, and seeing Gu Qinlan's expectant expression, they immediately understood what their master was thinking.

Gu Qinlan sighed softly and said, "Please help me take off these decorations. I am really tired."

Hongye and Fuyu nodded, carefully took off the pearls on her head, and removed her wedding dress and accessories. When everything was packed up, Gu Qinlan finally showed a relaxed expression.

"Okay, we can eat now." After saying this, Gu Qinlan sat down at the table.

Hongye brought the food sent from the kitchen, and the aroma was fragrant. Gu Qinlan was indeed hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. While serving her the food, Hongye said, "Miss, do you still remember the rumors about Prince Duan's Mansion?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Of course I remember, but everything went well at the wedding, so those rumors can't be believed completely."

Hongye nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, on the wedding day, all the civil and military officials came to congratulate. The majesty of Prince Duan's Mansion is indeed awe-inspiring. However, I am still a little worried."

Gu Qinlan put down her chopsticks, looked at Hongye, and said calmly: "Hongye, don't worry, since I have married into Prince Duan's mansion, I will do my best to maintain the peace of this family. As for those rumors, they are just gossip, don't take them too seriously."

Hongye and Fuyu looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Hongye said carefully: "Miss, we all understand what you just said. But can you really handle the inner house disputes in Prince Duan's Mansion?"

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Hongye, have you forgotten that I am the daughter of the Gu family? From childhood to adulthood, what kind of difficulties have I not experienced? I naturally have ways to deal with the inner house disputes in Prince Duan's Mansion."

Hongye and Fuyu felt a little comforted after hearing this.

Gu Qinlan looked at the candlelight swaying in the wind in front of her, but her heart was surging with a myriad of thoughts.

She recalled the wedding of Gu Qinlian in her previous life when she had just married into Prince Duan's Mansion. It was a farce. The three children of Prince Duan's son Zheng Dinglian were like naughty monkeys. They made a mess at the wedding and made Gu Qinlian look bad in front of everyone.

Gu Qinlian's aggrieved look and panic-stricken expression were like a knife engraved on her heart, and she still cannot forget it.

How could this life be so smooth?

Gu Qinlan was full of doubts.

Beneath this calmness, perhaps Zheng Dinglian’s advance arrangements are hidden.

Why...why is he doing this?

Isn't that the person in the rumors? How could the cold-blooded, self-centered Zheng Dinglian make such an arrangement for a girl he had never met?

Gu Qinlan's mind was in a state of confusion.

In the eyes of everyone, Zheng Dinglian is a cold, ruthless, and even cruel person. In his eyes, there is only power and status, nothing else.

However, his current behavior made her see a completely different side of him.

After finishing the meal, Gu Qinlan looked at the mottled spring scenery outside the window with an indifferent expression. Hongye stood by with his hands hanging down and reminded her softly, "Miss, it's getting late. The prince will be here soon. Do you want to prepare for a bath?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and shook her head: "Don't worry, Hongye, I'm still waiting for an imperial edict, which is very important to me."

A trace of worry flashed across Hongye's eyes, but she didn't dare to persuade him anymore. She just stood aside silently.

At this time, Fu Yu came in, holding a set of newly made clothes in her hands, and said, "Miss, this is a new dress. You can change into it after bathing."

Gu Qinlan nodded, but her eyes remained outside the window, continuing to wait for something.

Half an hour later, the housekeeper of Prince Duan's mansion ran in breathlessly, with an extremely anxious look on his face: "Princess, the imperial edict has arrived. Please go to the front yard to receive it."

as predicted!

Gu Qinlan smiled brightly, then stood up and said to Hongye and Fuyu, "Let's go."

Hongye and Fuyu followed Gu Qinlan nervously. They had never received an imperial edict before, so they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Gu Qinlan noticed their nervousness and turned back to comfort them, "Don't be afraid, just follow me and salute."
