Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

After hearing this, Princess Duan's face became solemn. She knew that Zheng Huiyi was right, but she always felt that it was inconvenient to bring up such things. She pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yier, you are right. We should indeed arrange for them to consummate their marriage as soon as possible."

Zheng Huiyi was relieved when she saw her mother agreed.

After Princess Duan finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the backyard, followed closely by Zheng Huiyi.

In the newly decorated bridal chamber, Hongye and the maids sat in a corner, their faces filled with worry.

Hongye bit her lip and whispered, "I don't know when the prince will come back. Miss must be very sad."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, patted Hongye's hand gently, and said: "Hongye, you don't have to worry about me. This is the prince's duty. He must go to protect the peace of the country. We just need to wait for him to return home."

At this time, Princess Duan hurriedly pulled Zheng Dinglian into the bridal chamber with a serious look on her face. She looked around, her eyes fell on the maids, and she said coldly, "Everyone, go out. I have something to say to the Crown Prince's Consort."

The maids left the bridal chamber one after another. Hongye hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but Gu Qinlan gave her a look and she had no choice but to leave.

Only Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan were left in the bridal chamber. Princess Duan immediately closed the door and went out, ordering the maid to lock the room.

Princess Duan stood outside the door and said to Zheng Dinglian through the crack in the door: "Lian'er, do you know what your mother is thinking?"

Zheng Dinglian looked at Princess Duan with a confused expression and said, "Mother, I don't understand."

Princess Duan sighed and said, "Lian'er, you are an adult now, it's time for you to start a family. Gu Qinlan has already married you and is your wife. You two should consummate your marriage as soon as possible and give birth to children, so that the foundation of the Prince Duan's Mansion can be passed on to others."

Zheng Dinglian was stunned. He had never thought about this question before. Looking at Gu Qinlan, a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

The red candles flickered, illuminating the faces of Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian.

Gu Qinlan's eyes were as clear as water, while Zheng Dinglian's eyes were unfathomable. The trace of panic and embarrassment just now had long been replaced by calmness.

Gu Qinlan bit her lower lip lightly and broke the silence: "Ding Lian, thank you for helping me deal with my mother's dowry. I know this is not an easy task for you."

Zheng Dinglian nodded slightly, saying calmly: "You're welcome. This is my job."

After that, the bridal chamber fell silent again. Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Dinglian and couldn't help wondering how this man viewed her. He didn't seem to be a loner, so why was he so silent in front of her?

Gu Qinlan thought of this, turned around and came to the dowry box, opened the box and searched around. Finally, she took out a gorgeous golden soft armor from the bottom of the box. In the sunlight, the golden silk sparkled and looked particularly dazzling.

She carefully held the gold-thread soft armor in her hands and walked in front of Zheng Dinglian.

Hearing the footsteps, Zheng Dinglian looked up and was stunned when he saw the gold-thread soft armor in Gu Qinlan's hand.

Gu Qinlan walked forward, gently placed the gold silk soft armor on the table, and said softly: "Sir, this is a thank you gift I specially prepared to thank you for helping me deal with my mother's dowry. Please accept it."

Zheng Dinglian looked at the golden soft armor, with a hint of surprise and emotion in his eyes. He picked up the soft armor and said softly: "Princess, this thank-you gift is too valuable. How can I dare to accept it?"

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. This golden armor is valuable, but compared to what you have done for me, it is nothing. Please accept it. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Zheng Dinglian looked at Gu Qinlan's sincere expression, and his heart suddenly warmed. He stood up, put the private seal and a bag of silver in his hand on the table, and said, "In that case, I will be disrespectful to refuse. Princess, I accept your thank-you gift. This is my private seal and this silver, please keep it for future use."

Gu Qinlan took the private seal and looked at Zheng Dinglian. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said softly, "My Lord, although I don't intend to use your private seal and money, I appreciate your kindness. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

Zheng Dinglian smiled and said, "Princess, you are too polite. Between us, why would we care about these things?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Dinglian steadily and said softly, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so you must be careful, my prince."

Hearing this, Zheng Dinglian smiled slightly and nodded, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

After a pause, he coughed dryly and said, "But if I really can't come back, don't be too sad. You...you can also marry someone else."

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and smiled softly: "What nonsense are you talking about, my lord? Of course I hope that you can return safely. But life and death are determined by fate. If it really comes to that, we will talk about it then."

At this moment, outside the door, the guard Ling Ji knocked on the door and reminded: "Sir, it's getting late, it's time to set off for the Northern Frontier."

"Got it." Zheng Dinglian nodded, turned around and said to Ling Ji outside: "Pass the order down, set off immediately!"

Zheng Dinglian kicked open the locked door and walked out with his head held high.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan hurriedly picked up the golden silk soft armor on the ground and followed closely. They walked through the corridor and came to the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the sunlight shone on the red walls and green tiles of the palace, making it look particularly dazzling.

Guard Ling Qi had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan coming, he immediately went to greet them.

"Prince, the carriage and horses are ready." Ling Qi said respectfully.

Zheng Dinglian nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

When the guests learned that Zheng Dinglian was leaving, they all came out of the palace gate to see him off. Some of them looked reluctant, some looked solemn, and some looked worried.

Zheng Dinglian bowed deeply to the guests and said in a low voice, "Everyone, I will go first. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality, I hope you will forgive me."

The guests responded one after another, saying sincerely, "Your Highness, you are welcome. We all understand. We wish you a speedy return. We are waiting for good news here."

Zheng Dinglian lifted his robe and climbed onto his horse. Princess Duan, Zheng Huiyi, and Zheng Dinglian's three children all rushed over. Princess Duan's eyes were filled with tears. She tightly grasped Zheng Dinglian's robe and said in a trembling voice, "Lian'er, you must be careful and come back safely."

Zheng Dinglian looked at his mother, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. He patted her hand gently and comforted her: "Mom, I will be careful. When I come back, our family will be reunited."

Zheng Huiyi walked forward, her eyes full of worry for her brother, her voice choked with sobs: "Brother, you must come back safely, we are all waiting for you at home."

Zheng Dinglian's three children, the eldest daughter, ten years old, the eldest son, eight years old, and the second son, six years old, also gathered around, their eyes full of attachment and reluctance.
