Master Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Princess Duan, I am not unaware of your worries. But as a mother, you should trust your son. Since Prince Zheng has decided to go to war, he must have his reasons. As elders, we should support him instead of worrying too much."

Princess Duan was still dissatisfied: "It's easy to say, but on the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If something happens to him, how can I explain to my late husband?"

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan gently pulled Princess Duan's sleeve and said softly, "Mother, Master Lu Yuan is right. Since the prince has decided to go to war, we, as a family, should support him. Moreover, the prince has been smart and brave since he was a child. I believe that he will return safely."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan and said in an unhappy tone: "But, Qinlan, you are my daughter-in-law, you should also understand my concerns."

Gu Qinlan smiled gently and said, "Mother, I understand your worries. But please believe that the prince will return safely. Moreover, I believe that the Western Wei army is strong and they will definitely protect the prince."

Master Lu Yuan nodded in approval: "What the Crown Princess said is right. The Western Wei army is strong, and Crown Prince Zheng is brave and resourceful. I believe that this trip to the northern border will surely return in triumph."

Princess Duan looked at Master Lu Yuan, then at Gu Qinlan, and her worries gradually dissipated. She sighed softly and said, "Okay, since you all say so, I will believe you."

Seeing this, Master Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess Duan. I will pray for Prince Zheng in secret and hope that he returns safely."

Princess Duan nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Okay, then I'll trouble Master Lu Yuan."

At this time, the crowd at the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion gradually dispersed. Master Lu Yuan said goodbye to Gu Qinlan and turned to leave.

Gu Qinlan looked at Master Lu Yuan's back and sighed in her heart: This legendary Master Lu Yuan is indeed worthy of his reputation. His appearance not only resolved Princess Duan's worries, but also made the atmosphere of the entire Prince Duan's Mansion become relaxed.

……

After a busy day, Gu Qinlan felt physically and mentally exhausted. Hongye and Fu Yu knew her condition best. Seeing that she was exhausted, they rushed over, one on each side, supporting her and slowly moving her towards the new house.

"Miss, you are really tired today." Hongye said with concern, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of worry.

Gu Qinlan smiled softly, trying to make herself look more relaxed: "It's okay, it's just a busy day, I can still hold on."

As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the new house. Gu Qinlan looked up at the new house, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes. She gently pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance came to her nose. Hongye and Fuyu hurriedly helped her in.

Gu Qinlan sat down beside the bed, and Hongye and Fuyu immediately took off her shoes and let her lie comfortably on the bed. Hongye looked at Gu Qinlan's tired expression and couldn't help but sighed: "Miss, why are you so tired?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, looked at Hongye and said, "Hongye, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I can't always rely on others. I want to prove that I can stand on my own."

Hongye shook her head slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "But, Miss, this is Prince Duan's Mansion, you are the new Crown Prince's Consort, you must be careful about everything."

Gu Qinlan held Hongye's hand and said with a smile: "Hongye, you don't have to worry too much. I know my identity and I will be careful. Moreover, I believe that as long as we unite as one, there is nothing that cannot be solved."

Hongye felt a little comforted when she heard what Gu Qinlan said. She looked at Gu Qinlan with worry and concern in her eyes: "Miss, you must take care of yourself."

Gu Qinlan patted Hongye's hand gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will."

At this time, Fu Yu walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and suddenly said: "Miss, look at the beautiful moonlight outside, why don't we go out for a walk?"

Gu Qinlan looked out the window, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes: "Good idea, since we are in Prince Duan's Mansion, we should get familiar with the surrounding environment."

The three of them walked out of the bridal chamber, chatting and laughing, and walked along the corridor of Prince Duan's mansion. The moonlight shone on them, reflecting three beautiful figures.

Hongye couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why don't you worry about what others think of you staying alone in your empty room?"

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Hongye, does other people's opinions matter? Our lives are our own, and we are responsible for our own happiness. As long as we are happy, what does it matter what others think?"

Hongye and Fuyu smiled at each other, thinking that Gu Qinlan's words made sense. They continued to stroll under the moonlight, chatting and enjoying the night view of Prince Duan's Mansion.

Suddenly, Gu Qinlan jumped onto Hongye and said with a smile: "Hongye, carry me for a while. I want to feel your strength."

Hongye was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and hugged Gu Qinlan: "Miss, you are getting more and more naughty. Be careful, don't fall."

Fu Yu reminded her, "Miss, you'd better be careful. After all, you just arrived and are not familiar with the situation in Prince Duan's Mansion."

Gu Qinlan patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, with me here, there is a solution to everything."

Hongye carried Gu Qinlan on her back, and Fuyu supported her from behind, laughing all the way, attracting the attention of passers-by. They strolled under the moonlight, as if they had returned to their carefree teenage years.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of them. It was Zheng Dinglian's sister Zheng Huiyi. She frowned and looked at Gu Qinlan, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan immediately jumped off Hongye and straightened her clothes.

Zheng Huiyi glared at her and said expressionlessly, "Sister-in-law, mother wants to see you for something. She wants you to go to Rongxitang."

Gu Qinlan didn't think much about it, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, I got it!"

Gu Qinlan walked into Rongxi Hall with Hongye and Fuyu, and saw Princess Duan sitting on a chair, her face gloomy and her eyes cold. Gu Qinlan immediately collected her thoughts, half-squatted, and respectfully saluted her mother-in-law: "The daughter-in-law greets the mother."

However, Princess Duan said nothing and deliberately delayed asking her to stand up.

Gu Qinlan remained expressionless, but secretly guessed the reason behind it.

Hongye and Fu Yu looked at each other, feeling anxious for Gu Qinlan and sweating. They both knew that such a situation would not be easy for Gu Qinlan to deal with.

Seeing this, the servants around Princess Duan gloated and whispered to each other. Gu Qinlan saw the expressions of these people and became more certain of her guess.

She secretly guessed that Princess Duan might have been instigated by someone with ulterior motives, otherwise, given her personality, she would not have set rules for her daughter-in-law and intimidated her on the wedding night.

Gu Qinlan slowly stood up, looked at Princess Duan, and said softly: "Mother, your daughter-in-law came to see you on the wedding night. I wonder if you have any instructions?"
