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

The night before the banquet, Gu Qinlan gathered all the servants in the front yard for a lecture.

"Tomorrow, our house will be open to the public for the first time to entertain guests from all walks of life. Everyone should know the significance of this banquet. This is not only a major event related to the reputation of our Zheng family, but also a good opportunity to show the style of our Zheng family. Therefore, everyone must be fully alert tomorrow and make sure to do their best. Afterwards, everyone's monthly salary will be doubled. And those who perform outstandingly, I will also reward them with two taels of silver."

When the servants heard about the reward, they were so excited that their eyes sparkled with greed.

If they can perform well, each of them can get more than three taels of silver!

This is almost half a year’s income!

As a result, everyone was like taking stimulants, all their tiredness disappeared, and they just looked forward to tomorrow to come quickly so that they could show their skills.

The Prince Duan's Mansion was decorated with lights and was extremely lively.

A number of gorgeously decorated carriages slowly drove over, as if they were going to block the path in front of the door.

The housekeeper and the servants walked forward and carefully guided the guests to get off the cars. Then someone led the empty cars to the pre-arranged venue. In a blink of an eye, the front door suddenly opened up, and the originally narrow passage was not congested at all.

"It's really unexpected. The fundraising ability of Prince Duan's Mansion is extraordinary. In the past, every banquet would be crowded, but who would have thought that they could arrange it so smoothly."

All the distinguished guests who attended the banquet praised it highly.

Once entering Prince Duan's Mansion, servants and maids led the male and female guests into different courtyards.

Gu Qinlan was in the courtyard responsible for receiving the female guests, chatting cordially with the ladies, while Zheng Dinglian was busy with the male guests.

Although the Prince Duan's mansion was not grand and spacious enough for daily living, it did seem a bit crowded for such a grand banquet. However, the mansion was well organized and the order was amazing. The servants and maids were agile and organized, each doing their own job and helping each other.

"Before, I thought that the Zheng family had lived in a small city like Jindu for many years, and would be in a mess when hosting a banquet of this scale for the first time. I didn't expect that the scene was handled so well, even not inferior to the banquets of the aristocratic families in the capital."

"I heard that this is all thanks to Princess Linchuan. The Zheng family made a lot of jokes when they were in Jindu, and everyone knows how chaotic Prince Duan's Mansion used to be. Princess Linchuan has been married into the mansion for only a year, but she has been able to restore order in the mansion. It is really amazing."

The guests gathered together and praised every aspect of Prince Duan's Mansion.

At this moment, a maid hurried in and reported to Gu Qinlan: "Madam, the Fourth Prince and his wife have arrived. The Crown Prince asks you to go to the gate to greet them."

All the guests were surprised that Prince Duan’s Mansion had actually invited the Fourth Prince?

Isn't Prince Zheng always aloof and reserved? How come he has a connection with the prince?

Moreover, on the day of the palace banquet, the Princess of Linchuan openly refused to give face to the Fourth Prince's wife. Everyone thought that the Fourth Prince's wife would hold a grudge, but they did not expect that she would actually pay a visit.

Could it be that Prince Zheng is a lone minister on the surface, but secretly the confidant of the Fourth Prince?

The guests were speculating, and Gu Qinlan was also a little confused.

What exactly are the intentions of the fourth prince and his wife?

After meeting up with Zheng Dinglian, Gu Qinlan whispered, "This couple definitely has bad intentions. We must be vigilant and not fall into their trap."

Zheng Dinglian responded: "I guess the one who will do it this time is the Fourth Prince's wife. The secret in her belly..."

He glanced at Gu Qinlan worriedly: "Can you handle it?"

Gu Qinlan nodded firmly: "I will ask everyone in the family to be vigilant and stay away from the Fourth Prince's wife, and never let anyone get close to her."

Zheng Dinglian reminded: "All food and drinks sent to the Fourth Prince's wife must be strictly inspected."

The other party suddenly visited them at this critical juncture, obviously trying to set a trap for them. They must not fall into this trap easily.

Gu Qinlan knew it well and did not dare to take it lightly. The Fourth Prince and his wife were definitely not easy to deal with, otherwise they would not have been able to reach the pinnacle in their previous life.

The couple arrived at the gate of the mansion, and just then the carriage of the Fourth Prince's mansion slowly stopped outside the gate.

Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your humble servants and your wife are waiting for the Fourth Prince and his wife to arrive."

The fourth prince and his wife stepped down from the carriage and stood side by side. The fourth prince smiled and said politely, "Prince Zheng and Princess Linchuan are here to pay their respects. We are here uninvited, and we hope you will forgive us for being so rude."

In front of others, the Fourth Prince is elegant and amiable.

Zheng Dinglian said respectfully but with dignity, "Your Highness, you are too kind. It is a great honor for us to have you and your wife here. Please come into the palace."

The Fourth Prince smiled and held the Fourth Prince's wife's hand, leading her slowly into the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion. On the way, he spoke in a gentle and elegant manner: "Prince Zheng, this is the first time I have set foot in this mansion. I have heard that your mansion has a collection of many weapons and military manuals. I wonder if you can let me have a glimpse of them?"

Zheng Dinglian calmly responded: "They are just some ordinary objects. I'm afraid they can't match the noble gaze of the Fourth Prince."

His refusal was without hesitation or affectation.

A trace of gloom flashed across the fourth prince's eyes, but the smile on his face remained the same: "Prince Zheng, please don't be too reserved. I don't like to force things on others. I'm here today only because my princess and the Princess of Linchuan spoke inappropriately at the banquet in the palace the day before yesterday, so I came here to congratulate you to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Gu Qinlan responded at the right moment: "The Fourth Prince is too modest."

The Fourth Prince's wife smiled softly, "Really? I have always been worried that Princess Linchuan may have misunderstood me, but it seems I was worrying too much."

Gu Qinlan immediately responded: "The Fourth Prince's wife is too cautious."

The couple's response was flawless, which made the Fourth Prince and his wife feel depressed.

They had never encountered such a difficult opponent. Although the lonely ministers in the court were unwilling to associate with them, they always acted politely on the surface. Only this couple was so perfunctory in their courtesy.

It's like having the words "Not Welcome" written on your forehead.

If this trip did not have a specific purpose, they would have left long ago.

The two suppressed their displeasure and secretly made up their minds to make the Zheng family look bad.

Entering the banquet venue, Zheng Dinglian led the Fourth Prince forward. Gu Qinlan said to the Fourth Prince's wife with concern: "Fourth Prince's wife, please watch your step. This way, please."

The Fourth Prince's wife was tall and slender, so she naturally sat on the main seat.

At the same time, Gu Qinlan took the opportunity to call Fu Yu and Wan Ying aside and whispered some detailed instructions in their ears.

After hearing this, the two nodded solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, we will be careful."

Gu Qinlan wanted to give a few more instructions, but she heard the Fourth Prince's wife calling her, "Linchuan, come and accompany me. Why did you run so far?

Gu Qinlan waved to her two confidants, then turned and walked towards the Fourth Prince's wife.

"What instructions does the Fourth Prince's wife have?"
