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

Princess Duan patted Gu Qinlan's hand, and said with some guilt and self-blame: "I did lose my composure just now, please don't take it to heart."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a trace of tolerance and understanding in her eyes, and said softly: "Mother, you are too serious. I understand your worries. After all, Fenghui is your grandson. It is normal for you to worry about him."

Inside Rong Xi Hall, the mahogany furniture exuded a faint sandalwood scent. Princess Duan and Gu Qinlan sat on the kang by the window, and the atmosphere between them seemed a little subtle.

Princess Duan sighed, with an embarrassed look on her face, and slowly said, "Since you married into Prince Duan's mansion, I have been observing you. You are indeed a smart and virtuous woman. I have many misunderstandings about you, and I am really uneasy."

Gu Qinlan lowered her eyes, rubbed her clothes gently with her fingers, and said softly: "Mother misunderstood me, I am indeed a little uneasy, but I know you are doing this for my own good and for the good of Prince Duan's Mansion."

Princess Duan looked at Qin Lan's profile and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

Since marrying into Prince Duan's mansion, Gu Qinlan has been silently enduring her misunderstanding and criticism. Princess Duan suddenly realized that Gu Qinlan's misunderstanding may have really hurt her.

"Qin Lan, you are my dear child. My previous misunderstanding of you was really my fault." Princess Duan said sincerely.

Gu Qinlan raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Mother, you are too kind. I understand your intentions."

The two were silent for a moment, and Princess Duan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Qin Lan, what do you think of Feng Hui?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Feng Hui is a smart kid. I like him very much."

Princess Duan nodded and said, "I also think he is a good child, but I doted on him too much, so he became lawless. What happened today was also because I cared too much about him, so I lost my sense of proportion."

Gu Qinlan gently held Princess Duan's hand and said softly, "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself. Children are always naughty sometimes. As long as we guide them correctly, he will definitely become a responsible man."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

This woman really cares about her grandson and is really willing to help her educate Feng Hui.

"Qinlan, I have an unreasonable request." Princess Duan said suddenly.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Mother, please speak."

Princess Duan bit her lower lip and said, "I want you to help me educate Feng Hui and make him a responsible and talented man."

Gu Qinlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to help you educate Feng Hui."

Princess Duan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Gu Qinlan thought of something, looked at Princess Duan, and slowly said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law's three-day return ceremony..."

Princess Duan smiled slightly, with a look of kindness and respect in her eyes: "Qin Lan, you finally remembered this. This time the wedding gift is a big deal, and we must not be careless. Look at this Rong Xi Tang, although it is not as luxurious as the imperial palace, it is also the face of the Duan Palace."

Gu Qinlan bowed her head slightly and replied modestly: "I understand, but... I have just arrived and am not familiar with the rules of the mansion. I don't know how to prepare."

Princess Duan gently patted Gu Qinlan's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, there will be people to take care of these things. But the selection of gifts is up to you. You may as well tell me what you think."

Gu Qinlan raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes: "Mother, I think... can the gift not be too extravagant this time? After all, I have just married into the palace, so I need to be cautious."

Princess Duan's eyes flashed with approval, and she nodded and said, "Qin Lan, I'm glad you think so. But the return gift is a time to show the majesty of the palace, and it would be inappropriate to be too shabby. You just need to choose some gifts that are both face-saving and polite."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "My daughter-in-law thinks it would be better to choose some gifts such as calligraphy and painting, porcelain, etc., which are both elegant and not too ostentatious."

Princess Duan's eyes flashed with joy, and she smiled and said, "Good idea! Paintings and calligraphy are indeed top choices. Now that you have an idea, go to the storehouse and choose. The collection in the palace is quite rich, so feel free to choose."

"My daughter-in-law understands."

……

Gu Qinlan took the key to the warehouse and went to the warehouse with the accountant.

Gu Qinlan held the key to the warehouse tightly and walked into the deep warehouse with a determined look. The dim candlelight flickered, reflecting on her beautiful face, making her look even more solemn.

The accountant followed closely behind, holding a thick account book carefully.

The door slowly opened, and a stale smell blew in.

The warehouse was filled with dust, and sunlight shone through the tall windows, casting patches of light onto the empty ground.

Gu Qinlan looked around and saw that the warehouse was empty, with several large cabinets and boxes open and very few items inside. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, the accountant hurried forward and said carefully, "Princess, these are all the assets of Prince Duan's family. Although the number is limited, we have carefully kept them."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "All assets? I think these assets are not even as much as my dowry. It's surprising that Prince Duan's Mansion is so destitute."

The accountant's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Gu Qinlan to express her disappointment so bluntly. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Princess, you may not know that the financial situation of Prince Duan's Mansion has not been optimistic in recent years. But please rest assured that we have been working hard to improve it."

Gu Qinlan frowned and kept silent.

The accountant was slightly stunned when he saw this, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He cleared his throat and asked carefully: "Princess, do you have any preferences? If you need anything, the accountant will do his best to satisfy you."

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "No need. I just came to see the actual situation of Prince Duan's Mansion. In this case, let's go."

The accountant hesitated for a moment and said with emotion: "Princess, in recent years, the Prince Duan's Mansion has indeed been in a difficult situation. However, I believe that under your leadership, the Prince Duan's Mansion will be able to regain its glory."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mr. Accountant, don't worry. I will do my best to make Prince Duan's Mansion rise again."

Having said that, Gu Qinlan turned and walked out of the warehouse.

"Princess, are you really not going to take some things away?" the accountant couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qinlan stopped and turned to look at the accountant, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "If I take away these assets, what will be left of the palace? What I want is the future of Prince Duan's Palace, not what is in front of me."

The accountant was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Princess, you are so wise and righteous. The future of Prince Duan's Mansion will surely be even more brilliant."

Gu Qinlan smiled gently, with a hint of warmth in her eyes: "Thank you for your auspicious words. I will remember it."
