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

Zheng Huiyi dragged Princess Duan towards the ancestral hall, and Gu Qinlan followed them with her men.

The ancestral hall was filled with incense, solemn and dignified, and the tablets of the Zheng family shone brightly on the altar. Zheng Fenghui knelt in front of the tablets, his back to the crowd, looking extremely determined.

Princess Duan looked anxious. As soon as she entered the ancestral hall, she walked straight to Zheng Fenghui and wanted to pull him up distressedly: "Fenghui, what are you doing? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Zheng Fenghui did not move at all, but said firmly: "Grandma, I was wrong. I will kneel down to make up for my mistake."

Princess Duan frowned, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she turned to Zheng Huiyi and blamed her: "Huiyi, why did you bring us here? Look, Fenghui..."

Zheng Huiyi glared at Gu Qinlan and said angrily, "Gu Qinlan, how dare you threaten Fenghui and make him kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment! You have a vicious mind and it is a misfortune for our family!"

Gu Qinlan remained calm and responded calmly: "Huiyi, if I had evil intentions, do you think I would let you accuse me so easily? If I really had to go to court with you, I'm afraid you would have been imprisoned long ago."

Zheng Huiyi was even more angry. Just as she was about to refute, she heard Princess Duan's stern voice: "Shut up! Qin Lan, are you telling the truth?"

Princess Duan stood in the center of the ancestral hall, her eyes sharp as torches, examining Gu Qinlan seriously.

Gu Qinlan bowed her head slightly, and said respectfully: "Mother, I did make Fenghui kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, but I did not threaten him not to stand up."

Zheng Fenghui was also kneeling in a corner of the ancestral hall at this time, with a blush on his face, looking a little embarrassed. He looked up at Gu Qinlan, then quickly lowered his head.

Princess Duan snorted coldly and turned to Zheng Fenghui: "Fenghui, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Zheng Fenghui hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Grandma, it's my fault. Mother made me kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Upon hearing this, Princess Duan's expression eased slightly, but she was still serious: "Qin Lan, as the Crown Prince's Consort, you should be tolerant to others. Why are you so harsh on Feng Hui?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I know you love Fenghui, but if you don't discipline him strictly, I'm afraid he won't be able to achieve anything in the future. I'm doing this for his own good."

Princess Duan was silent for a while, then suddenly turned to Zheng Huiyi: "Huiyi, what do you think?"

Zheng Huiyi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Princess Duan to ask her. She bit her lip and said hesitantly, "Mother, I think my sister-in-law is indeed a bit too much. After all, Fenghui is your grandson, and we should be more tolerant of him."

Princess Duan's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and she glared at Zheng Huiyi: "What do you know? Qin Lan did this for Feng Hui's own good. If you really care about him, you should support her."

Zheng Huiyi blushed and dared not speak any more.

Princess Duan turned to Gu Qinlan again and said, "Qinlan, since you have already made Fenghui kneel, the matter ends here. But you must be careful in the future and not be too harsh."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and replied respectfully: "Yes, mother, I will pay attention to it."

Zheng Huiyi glared at Gu Qinlan and gritted her teeth in her heart.

Gu Qinlan faced the Zheng family's ancestral tablet, suddenly bent her knees, and knelt down with a plop. She put her hands together, touched her forehead to the ground, and kowtowed three times devoutly, her voice low and firm: "Ancestors, please bless my husband Zheng Dinglian to be safe outside and return triumphantly as soon as possible."

The ancestral hall was silent and quiet, with only the sound of Gu Qinlan's kowtow echoing.

After she finished her kowtow, she slowly stood up, turned her gaze to Zheng Fenghui who was standing beside her, and asked gently: "Fenghui, do you feel wronged?"

Zheng Fenghui raised his head, his eyes were firm, and his tone was calm: "Mother, I was wrong first, and it is not unjust for you to punish me."

When these words came out, Zheng Huiyi, who was standing next to Zheng Fenghui, widened her eyes, her face full of surprise. She looked Zheng Fenghui up and down, as if she was looking at a stranger. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Fenghui, are you stupid? Why do you say that?"

Zheng Fenghui smiled slightly and looked at his aunt Zheng Huiyi with a frank look: "Aunt, mother punished me for my own good. I know I was wrong, so I don't feel wronged."

Zheng Huiyi frowned, still puzzled: "But, you are still a child after all, how could she do this to you?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, walked to Zheng Fenghui, patted his shoulder gently, and her eyes were full of praise: "Fenghui, I am very pleased that you understand the truth. Your aunt also cares about you, but you must understand that I punish you so that you will remember the lesson and not make the same mistake again."

Zheng Fenghui nodded to show his understanding.

Princess Duan looked at Zheng Fenghui, who had a stubborn face, with her eyes full of worry and confusion. She sighed and spoke slowly: "Fenghui, why are you doing this? The ancestral hall is an important place in our Prince Duan's Mansion. You are reflecting here, but have you ever thought that such a loud noise will disturb the peace of our ancestors?"

Zheng Fenghui raised his head and looked at Princess Duan firmly, with a hint of determination in his tone: "Mother, I know I was wrong. But only here can I deeply reflect on my mistakes and truly understand the teachings of my ancestors."

Princess Duan frowned slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. At this time, Gu Qinlan touched Princess Duan's arm, with a calm and peaceful look in her eyes, and said softly: "Princess, maybe Feng Hui is right. He has grown up and has his own ideas. We should respect his choice."

Princess Duan turned to look at Gu Qinlan, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, but she was still a little worried: "Qinlan, you are right. But I am worried that if he continues like this, he will hurt himself."

Gu Qinlan smiled softly, walked to Zheng Fenghui, and asked softly: "Fenghui, have you really thought it through? It will be very lonely and very hard to reflect here."

Zheng Fenghui nodded, his eyes firm: "I have made up my mind, mother. I will be here to pay the price for my mistakes."

Princess Duan looked at Zheng Fenghui, and she became more and more worried, but she knew that Zheng Fenghui had made up his mind at this moment. She turned to look at Gu Qinlan, with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Qinlan, please say something. Maybe you can persuade him."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said to Princess Duan: "Princess, don't worry. I will stay with him until he finishes reflecting on himself."

When Princess Duan heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, but she was still a little worried, and said to Zheng Fenghui: "Fenghui, you must take good care of yourself. Grandmother will wait for you to come out."

After saying this, Princess Duan turned around and left the ancestral hall, but she was still worried.

Gu Qinlan looked at Princess Duan's back, sighed softly, turned to Zheng Fenghui and said, "Fenghui, you have really grown up. You have your own ideas and responsibilities. This makes your mother feel relieved."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Zheng Fenghui's eyes, and he said to Gu Qinlan: "Thank you, mother. I will remember your teachings and reflect on myself."

Gu Qinlan patted Zheng Fenghui's shoulder gently, her eyes full of care: "Okay, go ahead. I'll stay here with you."

Zheng Fenghui nodded, turned and walked deeper into the ancestral hall.
