Cai Yuanzhen was canonized as the new queen, and this news shocked people up and down the capital. But after calming down and thinking about it, everyone took it for granted. Which of the famous ladies in the capital is better than Cai Yuanzhen? Whether it is talent, knowledge, etiquette, or upbringing, she is the top. In terms of family background, there are few people who can compare.

Now the Marquis Mansion of Yunyang is in the limelight, but it is not that no one is secretly saying something that is highly meritorious and unsealable. It has long been proposed that after the Marquis of Yunyang won the Liaodong War, it was time to seal the country. But some people feel that he is beautiful enough, he has a title, real power in the court, military power in his hands, many children in the family, and almost all of them are young and promising, and the future is bright. If the Marquis of Yunyang is given the title of Duke of the Kingdom again, I am afraid that no one will be able to restrain him anymore, and the army will also have a dominant family, which is not conducive to the stability of the society. But if the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yunyang marries the new monarch and becomes the queen of the main palace, the Marquis of Yunyang will naturally become the Duke of Cheng'en, and he will not get the real power of the Duke of Guo. Some people are already thinking about whether to suppress the Cai family after they become relatives? After all, the Qin family's two marquis mansions are the first example, and the Yunyang marquis mansion should also act as usual.

In short, between the government and the opposition, most people are very much in favor of Cai Yuanzhen's candidate for the new queen, while the remaining few people, out of various conspiracy theories, also feel that the royal family has made a wise decision, which is beneficial to the court and the country, and is also happy to see the candidate for the new queen. In this way, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked together to prepare for the wedding ceremony of the new monarch, and it turned out that all parties actively cooperated, and no one made any trouble, and things went very smoothly.

The Ministry of Rites, Mr. Tang, also took the lead in approving the new queen's candidate, and actively helped to prepare for the wedding with his sons, and the various treatment specifications of the new queen were all according to the best class, as if his own daughter was not the new king's first match. Several of his protégés asked him privately whether he was forced to make such compromises because of the meaning of the palace? He said confidently: "The little girl has not been crowned queen, but only the crown princess." The emperor got married, and he married the first queen, although she was not a Yuan match, but she was the queen of the Yuan, so naturally she should not be lazy. With such a number of courtesies, how can it be said that the old man was forced?"

Several protégés were suddenly dumbfounded, the crown princess Tang was not allowed to be posthumously sealed because she was involved in the case of Chu Zhengfang's rebellion, but no one could question it. Seeing that the Tang family was also willing, and there was no reluctance, they dispelled all kinds of suspicions in their hearts, and followed Tang Laoshangshu to sincerely welcome the new queen into the harem.

In any case, the new monarch has the queen of the main palace, and she is still a queen of the main palace who is of proper marriage age, in good health, and has a good upbringing, and the natural heir is hopeful, isn't it? Now the new monarch only has two princesses, and his knees are too desolate. I only hope that after Queen Cai enters the palace, she can give birth to Lin'er for the new monarch as soon as possible. When there is a successor to the royal family, all the subjects of the world are at ease.

There is a sense of approval in the court, and there will be no opposition from the people. The people still remember that the Marquis of Yunyang was a great hero who led the imperial army and defeated the Beirong army that invaded the south in the spring to defend the country. Isn't it a great thing that the daughter of a great hero has become an empress? Moreover, the emperor's big wedding is a grand event! Since the founding of the country, this is the first time that an emperor has married an empress during his reign. When the new queen enters the palace, maybe the people can still go to watch the phoenix, such a grand event is enough for them to talk about for decades, how can they miss it?!

The whole capital was suddenly full of joy, and many people even began to clean the façade of their houses, buy brightly colored flowers to decorate in front of the door, or buy red silk cloth and red lanterns, and hang them in front of the door as festive decorations, so as to rejoice with the royal family.

On the other hand, well-known people inside and outside the capital have also sent various congratulatory gifts and makeup to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, hoping to make the new queen leave a good impression on herself, and she will be able to hug her thighs in the future. As for those who have an in-law relationship with the Cai family or an old relationship, no matter what their attitude was when the Chu family gained power some time ago, they had to take the initiative to post it to show their friendliness.

Who would have thought that those of them who had been grass on the wall were only concerned about the face of the crown princess Tang family, so they retreated in front of the prestige of the Chu family and turned a blind eye to the plight of the Cai family, but now that the crown princess Tang family has long been buried in the soil, the Cai family has a new queen, and the world is really impermanent. If you want to regret that you were on the wrong team at the beginning, it was too late, so 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 Hou Mansion in Yunyang, but the Cai family was very calm, and whoever came to the door was treated politely. Gifts from people close to them, they receive them correctly. Those who have treated them coldly or betrayed them, they will be indifferent, ordinary gifts can be accepted, and valuable ones are not to be discussed. It's just a matter of reciprocal gifts, and it's not that they can forget the past after receiving other people's benefits. Even if the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion will become a relative in the future, he will do whatever he wants, and the descendants of the Cai family will not forget their duties because they have a queen, and they will continue to be loyal to the people of the court.

The lady who had been friends with Cai Yuanzhen in the past naturally followed the elders to congratulate her. Even Pei Yin, who used to have a quarrel with the Cai family because of family affairs, had to be cheeky, endure shame, and follow her mother and aunts to the door to curry favor. lost Cai Qiqi's family business, Pei Guogong's Mansion had scolded her more than once, and she was also extremely annoyed in her heart. But now it's too late to regret it, she can only be careful, looking at Mrs. Yunyang Hou, Cai Shizi's wife Lu Yueniang, Cai Yuanzhen's sisters, Mrs. Cai San and others from a distance, and instead laughing and flattering a few young daughters-in-law of the Cai family's side branches, enduring the other party's cold face, and once again regretting the stupidity and short-sightedness of the past.

The people who came to congratulate Cai Yuanzhen were naturally not only plastic girlfriends like Pei Yin, but also close friends who really made friends with her. However, because the Qin family was keeping filial piety, whether it was Qin Hanzhen, Yu Xinlan or Qin Jinhua, they could not come to the door in person to congratulate, so they could only send someone else to send a congratulatory gift and bring a congratulatory letter.

When Qin Hanzhen wrote this letter, he was still a little entangled. She has known the news that Cai Yuanzhen is the new queen candidate for a while, but because the holy decree has not been issued, she has not dared to say congratulations to Cai Yuanzhen. And now that the will has come down, when the Cai family is very lively, she doesn't know what kind of congratulatory gift to give. The most important thing is, how to write this congratulatory letter?

Cai Yuanzhen is about to become the queen of the main palace, which is indeed a very glorious thing. If Qin Han was really an ancient, he might not be so entangled. But she's not. She felt awkward no matter how she thought about it. Cai Yuanzhen was seventeen or eighteen years old, married a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old as his stepfamily, and also had to bear the responsibility of giving birth to children for him as soon as possible. This marriage has nothing to do with the feelings of a man and a woman, it is purely suitable, or there are political considerations. Even if Cai Yuanzhen is willing to dedicate herself to the family, can this be regarded as a thing worth congratulating?

Qin Hanzhen always felt that this congratulatory letter was a little difficult to write. The congratulatory gift is easy to do, and someone in the county king's mansion will do it for her. But this congratulatory letter must be written by her own hand. When Zhao Mo reminded her that time could not be delayed any longer, she wrote a short message in a very polite and cordial way, said a congratulatory cliché, and then sighed and asked Zhao Mo to send the congratulatory letter to the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion on her behalf.

On the second day, Cai Yuanzhen sent her confidant and sent a reply letter to Qin Hanzhen.

Cai Yuanzhen said in her reply that when she saw the congratulatory letter from Qin Hanzhen, a friend, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she was worried that Qin Hanzhen had misunderstood her because she was canonized as the queen. Although she had long known the meaning of the palace, she had not dared to reveal it to the outside world because her will had not been made, and she did not mean to hide her friends. She also knew that when she entered the palace, the relationship between their friends might change, and when they met in the palace in the future, they would become aunts and nieces. But in her heart, Qin Hanzhen is still one of her best friends. The good friendship of the past will always be remembered in her heart. She hoped that Qin Hanzhen would not be estranged from her in the future because of a change in their identity relationship. Whether writing letters or meeting people, you can continue to think of her as your best friend.

Cai Yuanzhen's letter was written very long, and Qin Hanzhen's nose was sour, and he was even more ashamed in his heart. Cai Yuanzhen still regards her as one of her best friends, but she is entangled in this, entangled in that, forgetting that her good friend is about to get married, and she is still waiting for her blessing.

Qin Hanzhen immediately replied to a long letter and said many words of sincere congratulations. Of course, she will not mention the age gap between Cai Yuanzhen and Xinjun in the letter, as well as nonsense such as whether this marriage is worth blessing. She just mentioned some more trivial things that had happened in the family recently, as well as the temperament and preferences of the new monarch that she knew, to soothe the bride's heart that might feel uneasy before marriage. She resumed the cordial and egalitarian tone of her previous correspondence, and was no longer as polite as the congratulatory letter before.

The letter was brought back by Cai Yuanzhen's girl, and there was a reply on the same day. Cai Yuanzhen was very happy to receive her letter, said some uneasy feelings recently, and thanked her for informing her of her new monarch's temperament and preferences. For Cai Yuanzhen, this news can be said to be the most needed intelligence. Qin Hanzhen looked at it, thinking about it, after Cai Yuanzhen entered the palace, I was afraid that not only did she need to get along well with the new monarch, but also the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Lord Minshun, the princess and others, all aspects of the situation needed to be understood. Before she kept her filial piety, she could be said to be a frequent visitor in the palace, and she could still provide Cai Yuanzhen with a lot of help in this regard. She discussed it with Zhao Mo, so she picked something that was not taboo and wrote it in the letter to remind Cai Yuanzhen. Cai Yuanzhen was naturally very grateful.

No one in the Cai family has had any in-law relationship with the royal family and clan for generations, and the news in the palace is blind. At most, the father and son of the Marquis of Yunyang can tell some of the temperament preferences shown by the Emperor Taishang and the new monarch when discussing government affairs, plus the impression of the Marquis of Yunyang and other edicts when they meet the empress dowager and other harem nobles. No one knows better than Qin Hanzhen what kind of temperament everyone in the palace is. This is what Cai Yuanzhen needs most before her wedding. and more thoroughly and deeply than the grandmothers sent by the palace to guide the etiquette.

Qin Hanzhen and Cai Yuanzhen began regular correspondence, and the two of them completely relied on their confidants to pass letters to each other in a low-key manner, and the friendship seemed to be a little deeper than before. Just when Qin Hanzhen was thinking about which nobleman in the palace should be told Cai Yuanzhen in the next letter, an unexpected guest was suddenly ushered in in the courtyard.

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