Qin Hanzhen stayed in Chengqian Palace until the afternoon, had lunch with Empress Cai, and then left.

Although Qin Hanzhen could see that Queen Cai's life in the palace was a little lonely and far less comfortable than when she was at home, she knew how to find ways to entertain herself, such as reading, practicing piano, or anything else.

And living in harmony with Chen Concubine. Being the lord of the Sixth Palace in such a small and peaceful harem does not seem to be a very unfortunate thing.

At least, the Cai family has achieved the stability they wanted. They have neither lost their status in the army nor affected their control over the city guards. This is because the new monarch believes that it is impossible to have a future heir to the emperor who is better than the queen's father.

His maternal grandfather and uncle became more reliable defenders of the capital. The royal family also gained a loyal, reliable, solid and powerful supporter in the military. The newly-entered Empress Cai was also a good empress who was sensible and healthy.

Although this is a marriage between an old man and a young wife, with strong political overtones and nothing to do with love between men and women, Qin Hanzhen still has great confidence in Empress Cai and believes that she will manage her life well and get what she wants.

happiness.

With a faint smile on her face, Qin Hanzhen walked out of the gate of Chengqian Palace and was about to walk towards the East Palace when she saw Princess Minshun walking towards her. She smiled hurriedly and greeted her: "What a coincidence, I'm about to arrive

Where are you going to the princess?"

Princess Minshun smiled at her and glanced at Chengqian Palace behind her: "I know that my sister-in-law has just left the queen's place and will definitely come to see me. I've been feeling bored after staying in the house for a long time and want to go for a walk.

Let’s go to the Royal Garden. Sister-in-law, why don’t you accompany me?”

Naturally, Qin Hanzhen would not refuse, so he accompanied her to the imperial garden.

There was no difference between Princess Minshun's words and deeds, but Qin Hanzhen noticed that although she occasionally mentioned the "Queen", she did not say much about Queen Cai. Moreover... they are both stepmothers, Cai Shengnan can win over Qin

Hanzhen called her "mother", but Empress Cai didn't seem to be recognized by Princess Minshun. The latter insisted on calling her "empress". Is this proof of the unfamiliar relationship between them?

Qin Hanzhen didn't want to meddle in the palace's affairs, he just thought that Princess Minshun had a good relationship with him, and Cai Yuanzhen was her good friend. If there was any misunderstanding between the two, it would be better to mediate. If it was just a simple matter,

The relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter was dull, so she didn't say much.

Qin Hanzhen tried to test Princess Minshun's tone, but Princess Minshun was an extremely smart and sensitive person. He immediately noticed what she meant and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, I have nothing to do with the queen."

Bad opinion. She is a good person, sensible, with a good temperament, and she cares about me. Not only will she not stir up trouble in the palace, but she will also help me get closer to my father. To be honest, if I had

It would be nice if the one who married my father as Liangdi was not Chen Liangdi but her. When my mother-in-law was choosing a concubine, why didn’t she choose such a smart and kind-hearted woman? Instead, she seemed to have lost her mind and chose

Where is Chen Liangdi who was hit?"

This question... is really difficult to answer. Maybe when Chen Liangdi was young, she did not have the flamboyant and crazy temperament that she later had? However, even if age is not taken into account, Cai Yuanzhen, as the daughter of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, would not be able to succumb to the Tang Dynasty.

She is a concubine of the crown prince. Such words are meaningless. They only prove that Princess Minshun is quite satisfied with Queen Cai.

If that's the case, why doesn't she seem to like mentioning Empress Cai so much?

Princess Minshun looked embarrassed and said to Qin Hanzhen: "She is good in everything, and she is not much older than me. If she were not my stepmother, I would be happy to get closer to her. But just because she is me

Isn’t it strange that my stepmother... looks like my sister, but I call her mother? I always feel uncomfortable, so I avoid her as much as possible. I also know that she should be very

Embarrassed, and maybe even embarrassed. For example, someone gossiped about the bad relationship between her and me. In fact, there is really no such thing. I heard from my great-grandmother that some indifferent concubine of the emperor said something about the queen behind her back.

She even went out to refute her gossip! For this reason, my great-grandmother also accused me of disrespecting my elders and asked me to apologize to the emperor’s concubine. I apologized, but I was not convinced at all! Fortunately, my great-grandmother felt that

I understand, and later they rewarded me with things, even my father and the queen gave me things, which shows that they approved of what I did."

I see.

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I can understand this feeling. When my stepmother first married into the family, I was not used to it. But she has always been very good to me. Although she is young, she dresses well, speaks and acts well.

, she looked mature, and she seemed to be several years older than her actual age. She looked like an elder to me, so I slowly got used to calling her mother. Actually, I don’t know if she is not called her that way.

What should I call her? If she seems too unfamiliar, my father will feel embarrassed, right? Now, she gave birth to my brother, and our family relationship is closer than before, and I no longer feel that I am directed at her young face.

What's the point of being embarrassed if you call me "Mother"?

"Yes..." Princess Minshun said thoughtfully, "If the queen had grown a few years older and had given birth to a younger brother, I wouldn't have felt that I couldn't call her mother anymore, right? I've always

Calling her queen doesn't sound inappropriate, but it just seems unfamiliar. Although the palace is relatively quiet, there are always people who gossip, not to mention the idlers outside the palace. She is nice to me, why should I bother calling her?

Is she embarrassed? Father will also feel embarrassed, right?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "The princess is so considerate of the queen, which shows that she really gets along well with the queen."

Princess Minshun smiled: "It's natural to be in a happy mood if you can get along with smart and kind people. Why don't we get along well with her? Although Chen Bin is not bad, she has a good temperament and a good temper, and she is not fond of children.

I have a new sister, but Concubine Chen is not as smart as the Queen! Even the father should like the Queen more, right?"

Qin Hanzhen will not make any comments on matters between the emperor and the empress.

She looked at the clothes on Princess Minshun. The princess was wearing a lake-green palace dress today, with a pearl on her head, which made her look tall and graceful, with a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament. The Crown Princess is one year old

The period of filial piety has passed, and Princess Minshun has been discharged from the service. Next year the princess will have her hairpin. Calculating the time, the new monarch should almost be registered as a princess and be given a marriage, right?

Qin Hanzhen then asked: "I heard that Your Majesty is selecting a fiefdom for the princess and preparing for the canonization of the princess. I wonder if you can decide on a place?"

Princess Minshun smiled: "It has been decided, it will be in Anqing."

Qin Hanzhen quickly recalled where there was such a place within Zhili, but Princess Minshun added: "It's Anqing, Anhui. That's where my grandfather's family was originally from."

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized that it turned out that the old minister of Tang Dynasty did not choose to choose a city for his grandson's daughter in Zhili in the end?

Princess Minshun sighed: "Sister-in-law must have heard from my cousin, right? My grandfather originally wanted to choose a place closer to Suning County, hoping that my cousin could take more care of me in the future. But if it was great-grandmother Lian,

The stewards chosen by my grandfather and father for me are no longer reliable. How can my cousin help? I'm afraid it will hurt him instead. I think my grandfather and father will not misjudge the person they chose for me.

The steward should be reliable. But my fiefdom is set in Anqing, so I can protect the Tang family to some extent, so that no one dares to neglect me in the future when the Tang family leaves the capital. I will not be greedy and search for money and food in the fiefdom.

Something like that. If Anqing is hit by a disaster, it would be convenient if I could just say a word and reduce taxes and burdens. That is the grace I bestow upon the people of the fiefdom out of my generosity. It doesn’t have to go through the discussion with the court officials at all. Wouldn’t it be trouble-free?"

This seemed to be Princess Minshun's filial piety towards her maternal ancestor, the Tang family. Qin Han couldn't help but sigh, this little girl had really grown up. Not only did the Tang family want to protect her, she also wanted to protect the Tang family.

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "The princess is really considerate. Mr. Tang will be very happy to know the princess's intentions."

Princess Minshun pursed her lips and smiled: "The old man was very happy and even cried. The old man is still crying like a tearful man at such an old age. It's really hard to do anything about him. Grandma even feels ashamed!

Actually, what’s the point? I’m already so old, and I’m about to get married, am I still a child? I only know how to obey my elders, but I don’t have the slightest idea, and I don’t even know how to think about my elders?”

Qin Hanzhen asked with a smile: "The princess is really getting married? I wonder when the auspicious date is? The prince didn't even tell me."

Princess Minshun blushed with embarrassment: "We have to wait until the New Year to issue the edict. I guess it's not easy for my cousin to tell you in advance. By then, it may be issued together with the edict of canonizing the princess."

She said this calmly, and Qin Hanzhen no longer hesitated: "I heard that he is the Yu Shizi of Shoushan Bofu, right? He is a gentle, handsome and talented man with excellent character and character."

Princess Minshun smiled and said: "I have met him a few times. He should be pretty good, but he is a bit more bookish. But there is nothing wrong with that. He likes poems and songs, and I also like to stay in the house and read. He doesn't

If he thinks I'm too quiet, I don't have to worry about him running around all day long. Besides, he's a handsome man, so handsome! He's also in good health, not like me who's always sick."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "The princess used to be young and couldn't leave the palace. Now she has grown up. After getting married, she can move her body more, eat well, drink well, sleep well and have fun. When she is in a happy mood, her body will slowly improve."

It’s taken care of. As long as you take good care of it, why are you afraid of getting sick?”

The corners of Princess Minshun's lips curled up: "It would be great if this were the case. I hope I can inherit my sister-in-law's good wishes. If my body can be well maintained, I can go out to play. I have grown so big that I haven't even left the house.

After passing the palace, I really wanted to know what it was like outside. Yu Jingming told me that every spring he went to the countryside for a spring outing, and in the summer he went to his village to escape the heat. There was a big pond in the village, and the lotus flowers in it were in full bloom.

Okay, in autumn I go to enjoy the red leaves in Xiangshan Mountain, in winter I go to enjoy the snow, and in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and the Hongluo Temple to see the plum blossoms. I can write a lot of poems every time and have fun. When we get married, he will take me to enjoy spring and autumn.

, that’s quite interesting.”

Seeing her happiness, Qin Hanzhen also smiled and said, "When the time comes, the princess is also welcome to visit our palace."

Princess Minshun was very excited: "It's a deal!"
