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

At this moment, Zheng Fengyun suddenly stood up and took the initiative to hold the hand of his stepmother Gu Qinlan. His eyes were full of desire and admiration, which shocked Gu Qinlan. Gu Qinlan looked at him, and an indescribable maternal love surged in her heart. She gently held his hand back and nodded.

"Feng Yun, you...are you willing to let me take care of you?" Gu Qinlan's voice was soft, with a hint of uncertainty.

Zheng Fengyun nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Qin Lan, I feel cold, can you hug me?"

Gu Qinlan looked at his frail body, and a desire to protect him surged in her heart. She gently held him in her arms, patted his back gently, and comforted him: "Fengyun, don't be afraid, you will feel warm here with me."

When Princess Duan saw this scene, she couldn't help but show a very surprised expression.

Because in her impression, Zheng Fengyun rarely gets close to people, especially women. She didn't expect that he would take the initiative to hold Gu Qinlan's hand and ask her to hug him.

Princess Duan couldn't help but smile and asked, "Feng Yun, what's wrong with you today? Normally, you don't really like to get close to people."

Zheng Fengyun raised his head and looked at Princess Duan, with a hint of shyness in his eyes: "Grandma, I... I just want to feel the mother's love."

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Fengyun, her heart full of emotion. She patted his hand gently and said softly: "Fengyun, since you want to feel the mother's love so much, then let me take care of you in the future. I will do my best to make you feel the warmth of home."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

Zheng Fengyun pursed his lips and said, "The wet nurse was very strict with me, and I did distance myself from her a little."

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. This was indeed unusual in the palace.

The wet nurse held an extraordinary status in the palace. Looking at Zheng Fengyun, she couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.

Is he hinting at something? He is so close to me, is it because he really has a crush on me as the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Duan's Mansion, and wants to use my power to deal with the potential dangers around him?

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but make a decision in her heart. She wanted to intervene in this matter and investigate Zheng Fengyun's situation.

Moreover, the investigation should not be made public and can only be carried out in secret.

Gu Qinlan looked at Princess Duan and asked earnestly, "Mother, I want to bring Feng Yun to my yard and take care of him personally. Do you think it's feasible?"

Princess Duan smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She gently patted Gu Qinlan's hand and said, "Qinlan, you are a responsible mother, how can I not support you? Since you are so sincere, then I promise you that I will leave Fengyun to your care."

Gu Qinlan's eyebrows lit up immediately, and she looked at Princess Duan gratefully and said, "Thank you, mother. I won't let you down."

Princess Duan nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Since you want to take care of Feng Yun, I will arrange four maids for you. They are all people around me, and you should be able to use them with confidence."

Gu Qinlan was stunned. She didn't expect Princess Duan to be so considerate. She hurriedly said, "Mother, how can this be? They are all people around you. How can I take away your beloved?"

Princess Duan smiled and said, "Silly child, I am doing this for your own good. You are definitely too busy to take care of Feng Yun by yourself. These four maids are carefully selected by me. They are both reliable and capable. Feel free to use them."

Gu Qinlan could no longer refuse, so she said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, mother."

Princess Duan called the four maids, Bailu, Guyu, Mangzhong, and Jingzhe, and said to them, "From today on, you will follow the Crown Princess and take good care of her and the young Crown Prince. If you slack off in the slightest, I will never forgive you."

The four maids responded in unison, looking respectful.

Princess Duan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, her brows were full of joy. She patted Gu Qinlan's hand gently and said softly: "Good child, you are so considerate and think about the Zheng family. These four maids are pretty and have good temperaments. They can really help my Zheng family to expand."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of humility in her eyes: "Mother, you are too kind. These are what I should do. However, I would like to ask you, mother, whether these four maids should stay with you temporarily and make arrangements after the prince returns?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Duan shook her head slightly, and the smile on her face became warmer: "No need to wait, I have no shortage of people to serve me. Take these four maids back to the courtyard, train them well, and let them share your worries. The most important thing is that the Zheng family has successors."

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Princess Duan to make such a decision. She hesitated and said, "Mother, is this inappropriate? After all, the prince hasn't come back yet. If I make the decision on my own..."

Princess Duan gently patted Gu Qinlan's hand and interrupted her: "Don't worry, since I said it, it won't be wrong. You are the Crown Prince's Consort of my Zheng family and you have the right to decide these things. Besides, would I harm you?"

Gu Qinlan felt warm at the words. She looked at Princess Duan with gratitude and said, "Mother, I understand. Then I will do as you wish. I will take good care of these four maids and let them have many children for the Zheng family."

Princess Duan nodded and looked at Gu Qinlan with increasing satisfaction.

She said softly, "Okay, go and make the arrangements. I have other things to deal with here, so I won't accompany you."

Gu Qinlan responded and turned to leave. At this time, Bailu, Guyu, Mangzhong, and Jingzhe all knelt on the ground and begged, "Princess, please have mercy and let us stay by your side and serve you. We are willing to serve the Zheng family at our utmost."

Princess Duan looked at the four people, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "I appreciate your kindness, but you should still follow the Crown Prince's Consort. She needs your company, and you should serve her well."

When the four heard this, a trace of reluctance flashed in their eyes, but in the end they responded in unison: "As you command!"

Gu Qinlan held Zheng Fengyun in her arms and led four maids through the corridor of Prince Duan's Mansion and returned to her own courtyard.

The yard was quiet, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone road, casting a faint glow.

Gu Qinlan gently put Zheng Fengyun down and let him stand on the ground.

Hongye and Fuyu had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Gu Qinlan coming back, they immediately came forward to greet him.

Hongye asked with concern: "Princess, you are back. How is Master Fengyun?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Fengyun and said, "Fengyun is very well behaved. He hugged me tightly and didn't want anyone else to get close to him."

Hongye and Fu Yu looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

Hongye couldn't help but say, "Princess, we are just worried about Master Fengyun. After all, this is his first time meeting you, and we want to help him adapt to the new environment."

Gu Qinlan gently patted Zheng Fengyun's shoulder and said firmly: "I know what you mean, but what Fengyun needs now is quiet and adaptation. I will take care of him personally, you don't have to worry."
