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

An incense stick of time passed, and the cold wind blew. Gu Qinlan, Hongye, and Fuyu were still standing in the yard waiting for Princess Duan to get up, without a single complaint.

Their faces were calm and their expressions were respectful, as if they were waiting for an important ceremony.

Hongye couldn't help but gently pull her collar and whispered to Gu Qinlan, "Miss, the weather is so cold, do you want to go in and warm up first? We will notify you as soon as Princess Duan wakes up."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and shook her head: "It's okay. Since you are here, you must abide by the rules. This is a respect for Princess Duan."

Nanny Cen stood in the corridor, looking at them, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The girls taught by the Gu family are indeed extraordinary.

She walked forward and asked with a smile: "Princess, it's windy outside, let's go in and warm up first."

Gu Qinlan responded politely: "Mammy, we are not afraid of the cold. Since Princess Duan has not yet gotten up, we will wait here so as not to disturb her rest."

Nanny Cen showed a trace of respect in her eyes, and said with a smile: "The Crown Prince's Consort is really strict with rules, I admire you. Then I won't bother you. If you need anything, just ask."

Hongye quietly pulled Gu Qinlan's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, we don't know when Princess Duan will get up. It's really boring to just wait like this."

Gu Qinlan patted Hongye's hand gently and said with a smile: "Hongye, be patient. While we are waiting, we can also observe the rules and atmosphere of Prince Duan's Mansion. This is also a kind of learning for us."

Hongye nodded and stopped talking.

At this time, the yard was silent, with only the cold wind whistling past. Gu Qinlan, Hongye and Fuyu stood there quietly, like a beautiful painting.

Princess Duan, who was lying on the bed, sat up at this time, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She walked gently to the window and looked out through the window lattice at the yard outside, only to see Gu Qinlan and others still standing there quietly, without any movement. She couldn't help but frowned, turned around and said to Madam Cen beside her: "Madam, those people outside have been waiting for a long time, why don't they come in?"

Nanny Cen stood by with a faint smile on her face. She shook her head gently after hearing this: "Princess, they are still waiting for you to wake up in the yard. The Crown Prince's wife knows the rules. She said she would wait for you to wake up and greet you personally and offer you tea."

Upon hearing this, Princess Duan's eyes flashed with surprise: "They actually waited for so long? Gu Qinlan is really patient."

Nanny Cen smiled softly and said, "Yes, Princess, this shows that she has great respect for you. People like this must be treated well by our Prince Duan's Mansion."

Princess Duan pondered for a moment, then turned and walked to the bedside. After sitting down, she gently patted the cushion beside her and motioned for Madam Cen to sit down. The two sat face to face, and Princess Duan said, "Madam, Gu Qinlan is a smart person. We can't let her wait for long. Go and tell her to come in and greet us and offer tea."

Nanny Cen smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will make the arrangements right away."

Nanny Cen walked to the door and was about to leave when Princess Duan called her back, "Mammy, when you let them in, remember to ask them to keep quiet and not disturb others."

"Don't worry, Princess. I won't have to worry about it." Nanny Cen responded, closed the door gently, and went out into the yard.

Princess Duan got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the screen. The maid Chun'er immediately followed, holding the clothes in both hands, and carefully dressed the princess.

"Princess, does your dress fit you well today?" Chun'er asked softly, her eyes full of respect.

Princess Duan nodded slightly and looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction: "Not bad, Chun'er, your craftsmanship is getting more and more refined. Go, get my jewelry, I want to dress up."

Chun Er left in response, and returned with a box of jewelry a short while later. Princess Duan picked out a jade hairpin inlaid with pearls and inserted it into her hair, making her look even more dignified and elegant.

At this time, Zheng Huiyi hurried in, looking anxious: "Mother, Gu Qinlan is already at the door, look..."

Princess Duan smiled slightly and patted Zheng Huiyi's hand: "It's okay, let her in. I want to see what is so special about this Gu Qinlan that makes you so worried."

In the main room, Princess Duan sat in the main seat, and Zheng Huiyi stood beside her, looking nervous. Gu Qinlan walked in slowly, with elegant manners and a decent smile, and bowed to Princess Duan.

"My daughter-in-law, Gu Qinlan, greets the princess." Gu Qinlan's voice was clear and pleasant.

Zheng Huiyi stared at Gu Qinlan with wide eyes, secretly surprised. She originally wanted to find faults in Gu Qinlan's etiquette, but she was shocked to find that Gu Qinlan's etiquette was impeccable, even more elegant than hers.

"Mother, look at how she salutes, it's so perfect." Zheng Huiyi couldn't help but say.

Princess Duan glanced at Zheng Huiyi and smiled: "Hui'er, don't you understand? Gu Qinlan is a smart woman. She knows how to show her talents at critical moments. This is why she can become the Crown Prince's Consort of our Prince Duan's Mansion."

Zheng Huiyi bit her lower lip, secretly dissatisfied. She turned to Gu Qinlan, trying to find her flaws: "Gu Qinlan, do you know the rules of our Prince Duan's Mansion?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and replied calmly: "The house rules of Prince Duan's Mansion are strict, and Qinlan will definitely follow them. If there is anything I am not good at, please let me know."

Zheng Huiyi was speechless. She didn't expect Gu Qinlan to be so smart that she couldn't find any flaws. She stared at Gu Qinlan with wide eyes, feeling more and more dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Princess Duan gently patted Zheng Huiyi's hand and said, "Hui'er, you have to learn to be tolerant. Gu Qinlan is your sister-in-law. You will live together in the future. You must learn to support each other."

Zheng Huiyi lowered her head and gritted her teeth in her heart.

Princess Duan sat upright, coughed dryly, looked at Gu Qinlan who lowered her eyebrows and said: "Qinlan, since you have become the Crown Prince's Consort of my Duan Palace, you should know how to respect your elders. Today, you will offer me a cup of tea to show your filial piety."

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She slowly stood up and said softly, "My daughter-in-law obeys your command."

Nanny Cen had already arranged for the maids to come. Seeing Gu Qinlan standing up, she immediately ordered the maids to serve tea. The maids tremblingly brought the cup to Gu Qinlan. She glanced at the steam coming out of the cup and hesitated.

"Princess, please serve the tea quickly." The maid urged softly.

Zheng Huiyi also urged: "Yes, mother specially arranged this tea ceremony, why don't you hurry up and fulfill your filial duty?"

Gu Qinlan frowned and was about to speak, but she saw Princess Duan was about to leave. Her heart tightened, so she had to pick up the teacup, endure the burning pain, kneel in front of Princess Duan, hold the teacup high, and say, "Mother, please have some tea."

Princess Duan smiled slightly and was about to take the teacup, but the hot steam from the cup made her withdraw her hand instantly. Her face changed and she glared at Gu Qinlan: "Are you trying to scald me to death?"

Zheng Huiyi immediately accused: "Gu Qinlan, you are so vicious that you actually want to burn your mother!"

Gu Qinlan was startled and immediately turned around and slapped the maid who brought the tea: "Why didn't you remind me that the tea was too hot? Did you want to deliberately burn the princess?"
