Cai Yuanzhen was canonized as the new queen. This news shocked everyone in the capital. But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that this was a matter of course. Among the famous ladies in the capital, who is more outstanding than Cai Yuanzhen?

?She is top-notch in terms of talent, appearance, knowledge, etiquette and upbringing. In terms of family background, few can compare to her.

Nowadays, the Yunyang Marquis Mansion is in the limelight, but there are some people who are secretly saying that they have great achievements and can't be granted a title. Some people have long suggested that after Yunyang Marquis won the Liaodong War, he should be granted the title of Duke. But there are also some people.

People think that he is already famous enough. He has a title, real power in the court, and military power in his hands. He has many children in the family, and almost all of them are young and promising, with a bright future. If he is given the title of Duke of Yunyang Marquis, he will probably

No one can restrain him anymore. In the military, a single family must dominate, which is not conducive to the stability of the country. But if the eldest daughter of Marquis Yunyang marries the new monarch and becomes the queen of the palace, Marquis Yunyang will naturally become Duke Chengen.

Although the Duke is granted the title of Duke, he will not gain the real power of the Duke. Some people are already considering whether to suppress the Cai family after they become relatives? After all, the Qin family's two marquis mansions are examples before, and the Yunyang Marquis mansion is also

It's just a matter of routine.

In short, most people in the government and the public are in favor of Cai Yuanzhen as the new queen, while the remaining few people, out of various conspiracy theories, also feel that the royal family has made a wise decision that is beneficial to the court.

It was beneficial to the country, and they were also happy to hear about the selection of the new queen. In this way, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked together to prepare the wedding ceremony of the new monarch. Surprisingly, all parties actively cooperated, no one interfered, and things went smoothly.

smoothly.

Mr. Tang, the Minister of Etiquette, also took the lead in approving the selection of the new queen, and actively helped prepare the wedding with his sons. All treatment specifications for the new queen were based on the best, as if his own daughter was not the new queen.

She is like your first wife. Several of his disciples asked him privately whether it was because of the palace's wishes that he was forced to compromise like this. But he said confidently: "My daughter has not been crowned queen, only crown prince."

It's just a concubine. In the emperor's wedding, he is marrying the first queen. Although he is not the first wife, he is the queen, so naturally he cannot be neglected. With such etiquette, how can you say that I was forced to do so?"

Several disciples were immediately stunned. Crown Princess Tang was not allowed to pursue the title because she was involved in Chu Zhengfang's rebellion, but no one could question it. Seeing that everyone in the Tang family was willing to do so and had no intention of forcing it, they gave up.

All kinds of suspicions followed Tang Laoshangshu, and he sincerely welcomed the new queen's entry into the harem.

In any case, the new king has a queen who is of marriageable age, in good health, and well-educated. Naturally, there is hope for an imperial heir, right? Now that the new king only has two princesses, it is really too miserable for him.

.I only hope that after Empress Cai enters the palace, she can give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible for the new king. With the royal family having a successor, all the people in the world will feel at ease.

The imperial court was in agreement, and there was no objection among the people. The common people still remember that Marquis Yunyang was a great hero who led the imperial army to defeat the Beirong army that invaded the south in the spring, and was a great hero who protected his family and country.

.Isn’t it a great thing that the daughter of a great hero becomes the queen? Besides, the emperor’s wedding is such a grand event! Since the founding of this dynasty, this is the first time that an emperor has married a queen during his reign.

When the new queen enters the palace, people may be able to watch Feng Jia. Such a grand event will be enough for them to talk about for decades, so how can they miss it?!

The whole capital was suddenly filled with joy, and many people even began to clean the fronts of their houses, buying brightly colored flowers to decorate their doors, or buying red silk cloths and red lanterns to hang in front of their doors as festive decorations.

May I rejoice with the royal family.

On the other hand, famous families inside and outside the capital also sent various congratulatory gifts and makeup to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, hoping that the new queen would leave a good impression on them, so that they could be favored by the new queen in the future.

.As for those who are related by marriage or have old friendships with the Cai family, no matter what their attitude was when the Chu family gained power some time ago, they have to take the initiative to show their friendship.

Who would have thought? Those of them who used to be wallflowers only gave in to the power of the Chu family and turned a blind eye to the plight of the Cai family because they were concerned about the face of the Crown Princess Tang. But now, Crown Princess Tang

The family has long been buried in the soil, but the Cai family has a new queen. Things are really unpredictable. If you want to regret that you were on the wrong team, it is already too late. You can only do your best to make up for the relationship with the Cai family.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, but the Cai family was very calm. They treated everyone who came to the door with courtesy. They accepted the gifts from those who were closer to them. Those who had treated them coldly or betrayed them.

They treated him lightly, accepting ordinary gifts, but not talking about expensive ones. It was just a reciprocity of courtesy, and it was not like they would forget about the past by accepting others' benefits. Even if the Yunyang Marquis Mansion would become a relative in the future,

Just do whatever you have to do. The descendants of the Cai family will not forget their own responsibilities just because they have a queen. They will continue to perform their duties loyally to the people of the court.

The ladies who had been friends with Cai Yuanzhen in the past naturally had to come to the house with their elders to congratulate them. Even Pei Yin, who had a quarrel with the Cai family because of the marriage, had to be shameless and endure the shame and follow her mother and aunts to fawn on her. It was embarrassing.

For marrying Cai Shiqi, Duke Pei's government had scolded her more than once, and she was extremely upset. But now it was too late to regret it, so she could only be careful and look at her from afar.

Madam Yunyang Hou, Lu Yueniang, Cai Shizi's wife, Cai Yuanzhen sisters, Cai San's wife and others instead smiled and flattered several young wives from the Cai family's branches. They endured each other's cold faces and once again felt guilty for their past stupidity and misfortune.

Short-sighted and full of regret.

Naturally, those who came to congratulate Cai Yuanzhen were not only plastic besties like Pei Yin, but also close friends who had truly made friends with her. However, because the Qin family was observing filial piety, neither Qin Hanzhen, Yu Xinlan nor Qin Jinhua could do anything about it.

If you come to congratulate someone in person, you can only send someone to send a congratulatory gift and a congratulatory letter.

When Qin Hanzhen wrote this letter, she was still a little confused. She had known that Cai Yuanzhen was the candidate for the new queen for some time, but because the imperial edict had not yet been issued, she had not dared to say congratulations to Cai Yuanzhen. Now that the edict has been issued,

When the Cai family was busy, she didn't know what kind of congratulatory gift to send. The most important thing was, how to write this congratulatory letter?

Cai Yuanzhen is about to become the empress of the main palace, which is indeed a very honorable thing. If Qin Han was really an ancient, she might not be so entangled. But she is not. She feels awkward no matter how she thinks about it. Cai Yuanzhen was seventeen or eighteen years old.

, marrying a middle-aged man who is nearly 40 years old as a stepmother, you also have to bear the responsibility of giving birth to children for him as soon as possible. This marriage has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it is purely suitable, or there are political considerations. Even if

Cai Yuanzhen is willing to dedicate herself to the family. Can this be considered something worthy of congratulations?

Qin Hanzhen always felt that this congratulatory letter was a bit difficult to write. The congratulatory gift was easy to handle. Someone in the county prince's palace would handle it for her. But she had to write the congratulatory letter in her own hand. When Zhao Mo reminded her, the time could not be delayed any longer.

, she had just written a short message in a very etiquette and polite way, and said some congratulatory words. Then she sighed and asked Zhao Mo to send the congratulatory letter to Yunyang Marquis on her behalf.

At home.

The next day, Cai Yuanzhen sent her confidant to send a reply to Qin Hanzhen.

Cai Yuanzhen said in her reply that she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the congratulatory letter from Qin Hanzhen, her good friend, and was worried that Qin Hanzhen might have misunderstood her because of her being canonized as queen. Although she had already known what the palace meant.

, but because the decree has not yet been made, she has not dared to reveal it to the outside world, not intentionally hiding her friend. She also knows that when she enters the palace, the relationship between their friends may change. When they meet in the palace in the future, they will

She became an aunt and niece. But in her heart, Qin Hanzhen is still one of her best friends. The beautiful friendship they had in the past will always be remembered in her heart. She hopes that Qin Hanzhen will not fall in love with each other in the future.

As my identity and relationship changed, I became estranged from her. Whether I wrote letters or met in person, I continued to regard her as my best friend.

Cai Yuanzhen's letter was very long, which made Qin Hanzhen's nose feel sore, and she felt even more ashamed. Cai Yuanzhen still regarded her as one of her best friends, but she was struggling with this and that, forgetting that her good friend was about to

I am still waiting for her blessing to get married.

Qin Hanzhen immediately replied with a long letter, saying many sincere words of congratulations. Of course, she would not mention the age gap between Cai Yuanzhen and the new king in the letter, and whether this marriage deserves blessings.

Nonsense. She just mentioned more about the trivial things that happened at home recently, as well as what she knew about the new husband's temperament and preferences, so as to appease the newlywed's heart that might feel uneasy before marriage. She resumed her previous communication.

The cordial and equal tone was no longer like the previous congratulatory letter, and the politeness was no longer unfamiliar.

The letter was brought back by Cai Yuanzhen's girl, and a reply came the same day. Cai Yuanzhen was very happy to receive her letter, and talked about some of her uneasy feelings recently, and thanked her for telling her about her new husband's personality and preferences. In this regard,

For Cai Yuanzhen, the news can be said to be the most needed information. Qin Hanzhen read it and thought about it. After Cai Yuanzhen entered the palace, he not only needed to get along well with the new king, but also the empress dowager, the emperor, and so on.

Princess Minshun, Princess Wang and others need to understand all aspects of the situation. Before she kept her filial piety, she could be said to be a frequent visitor to the palace, and she could still provide a lot of help to Cai Yuanzhen in this regard. She and

Zhao Mo discussed it and picked some things that did not violate taboos, and wrote them in a letter to remind Cai Yuanzhen. Cai Yuanzhen was naturally very grateful.

For generations, no one in the Cai family has any marriage relationship with the royal family or the clan. They are blind to the news in the palace. At most, Yunyang Hou and his son can tell some about the temperament displayed by the Supreme Emperor and the new monarch when discussing government affairs.

Preferences, plus the impressions of the imperial concubines such as Madam Yunyanghou and others when they met the Empress Dowager and other nobles in the harem. No one knows the temperament of the people in the palace better than Qin Hanzhen. This was Cai Yuanzhen’s most important attitude before her wedding.

What is needed can be explained more thoroughly and deeply than the nuns sent from the palace to teach etiquette.

Qin Hanzhen and Cai Yuanzhen began to correspond regularly. The two relied entirely on their confidants to pass letters to each other in a low-key manner. Compared with earlier, the friendship seemed to be a little deeper. As Qin Hanzhen was thinking about the next letter,

When it was time to talk to Cai Yuanzhen about the temperament of a noble in the palace, an unexpected guest suddenly arrived in the courtyard.

Little Xue's face turned pale and she cried to Qin Hanzhen: "Third sister, please save the eldest girl!"
