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

"Yier, you are right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative. I will find a way to suppress her at tomorrow's tea ceremony." Princess Duan said in a firm tone.

There was a flash of joy in Zheng Huiyi’s eyes, but she quickly regained her calm: “Mother, how are you going to suppress her?”

Princess Duan pondered for a moment, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "We can use filial piety to deal with her. If she is truly filial, she should show respect for her elders during the tea ceremony. If she slacks off, we can take this opportunity to teach her a lesson."

Zheng Huiyi nodded in agreement: "Mother, you are really smart. This way, we can not only embarrass her in front of everyone, but also let her know that our Prince Duan's Mansion is not easy to mess with."

……

The next day, a streak of paleness appeared in the eastern sky.

Gu Qinlan got up early, washed and dressed, then put on a lavender silk dress, a delicate jasmine flower on her head, brought Hongye and Fuyu, and walked quietly towards Princess Duan's courtyard.

The courtyard of Prince Duan's Mansion is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the air is filled with the scent of spring.

Gu Qinlan gently pushed open the courtyard door and saw that the courtyard was quiet, with only a few servants busy cleaning. She walked to the door of the main house, only to see that the door was ajar, and heard the voice of Nanny Cen from inside.

"Princess Consort, you're here so early?" Nanny Cen's voice was a little surprised. She walked out of the door and looked at Gu Qinlan, her face full of caution and carefulness.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, expressing satisfaction with Nanny Cen's tact. She said softly, "Mammy, I'm here to pay my respects. Is the princess awake? I want to serve her tea in person."

Nanny Cen touched her nose and said, "The princess hasn't gotten up yet, please wait for a moment, Princess Crown Prince."

Gu Qinlan nodded gently and smiled: "It's okay, I'll wait here for a while."

As he spoke, Gu Qinlan glanced around the yard and saw that it was neatly arranged and spotless.

She couldn't help but secretly admire Nanny Cen's intentions.

Nanny Cen pursed her lips and said, "Princess, the princess is still sleeping. Why don't you come over later?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mammy, I know the princess hasn't gotten up yet, but greeting and serving tea are the rules and should not be delayed. Since I'm here, I have to wait until the princess wakes up."

Nanny Cen looked at Gu Qinlan, with a hint of approval in her eyes, but she still kept smiling: "The Crown Prince's Consort is really filial, but the princess has not woken up yet, and it is not a good idea for you to wait like this. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while, and I will notify you immediately when the princess wakes up."

Gu Qinlan nodded gently and followed Aunt Cen to sit on a bluestone bench in the yard. Hongye and Fuyu stood quietly on her left and right, fanning her from time to time.

In the yard, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of floral fragrance.

At this time, Princess Duan was lying on the bed. She slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Gu Qinlan had arrived, but she deliberately did not get up, just to give Gu Qinlan a warning.

After a while, Nanny Cen pushed the door open and came in, tiptoed to Princess Duan, and called softly, "Princess."

Princess Duan was dozing with her eyes closed. When she heard the voice, she turned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Madam Cen bowed slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Princess, I just went to see the Crown Prince's wife. She is waiting outside now, looking impatient."

Princess Duan smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Oh? What is she impatient about? Is she worried that her position in the palace will be unstable?"

Nanny Cen nodded and said, "That's right. Princess, in my opinion, this is a good opportunity for us to punish her. As long as she is not careful outside, we can find evidence to teach her a lesson."

Princess Duan gently stroked the jade ruyi in her hand, with a sneer on her lips: "Well, what Nanny said is right. We might as well teach her a lesson and let her know who is the master in Prince Duan's Mansion."

A hint of pride flashed in Nanny Cen's eyes. She moved closer to Princess Duan and whispered, "Princess, I have arranged for the servants to keep an eye on the Crown Prince's wife's every move. As long as she makes any mistakes, we can take action immediately."

Princess Duan nodded and said, "Okay, Ma'am, you've worked hard. You should personally monitor this matter and make sure it is done cleanly and neatly."

Nanny Cen took the order and left. Not long after, she returned to the room to report.

"Mammy, how was your observation? Is there anything to complain about?" Princess Duan asked impatiently.

Nanny Cen smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Princess, although the Crown Prince's wife has good patience, she still showed her true colors. She just frowned impatiently and secretly stepped on her foot, appearing a little anxious."

Princess Duan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she put down her teacup: "Well, Mammy, you did a good job. These small details can become our handle to deal with her in the future."

Nanny Cen lowered her head slightly, feeling secretly proud in her heart, but her expression was still humble: "Princess, what should we do next?"

Princess Duan smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Next, we have to take it slow. We can't let her see our intentions right away, otherwise she will definitely be more defensive. Mammy, keep staring at her and see if she has any flaws."

Nanny Cen nodded in agreement, secretly thinking about how to better exploit these loopholes.

I couldn't help but think to myself: Gu Qinlan, since you dare to marry into our Prince Duan's Mansion, you must be prepared to withstand pressure. I want to see how long you can last in our Prince Duan's Mansion.

It was a chilly spring day and Princess Duan's courtyard was quiet with only the sounds of wind and rustling leaves.

Hongye looked at Gu Qinlan sitting in the yard, his figure looking somewhat lonely and thin under the gloomy sky.

Hongye walked forward and said with concern: "Madam, you should put on a cloak. The weather is so cold, don't catch a cold."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly but shook her head: "It's okay, I'm wearing enough clothes, I'm not afraid of the cold."

Hongye wanted to persuade her again, but was stopped by Fuyu who was standing beside her. Fuyu whispered to Hongye, "Look, Madam wore so much before going out. She must have expected it to be cold today. Let's not disturb Madam's mood."

Hongye could only nod helplessly after hearing this. She looked at Gu Qinlan's back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Madam is really strong. She can still be so calm in such cold weather.

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "What I expected was not the weather, but that someone might be trying to instigate Princess Duan behind her back."

Hongye was shocked when she heard this, and exchanged glances with Fuyu, and then couldn't help asking, "Madam, did you really expect that someone would instigate Princess Duan today?"

Gu Qinlan turned her head, glanced at Hongye, and smiled slightly: "Hongye, you know that there has been some unrest in the mansion recently. I anticipated that someone might take advantage of Princess Duan getting up to sow discord, so I came here early on purpose."

Hongye nodded and said with emotion: "Madam, you are so smart!"
