Although the emperor's wedding was settled, people inside and outside the court had different opinions.
The first victim was Ryan's grandfather Zhou Chong. Many officials privately believed that Ryan's becoming the queen was Zhou Chong's wishful thinking. Now that the matter is done, everyone can only congratulate and wish her well in a friendly manner.
Zhou Chong had his own grievances. He himself did not approve of the emperor marrying a male queen at all, but he could not say it out loud.
The royal betrothal gifts were brought from the palace to his house. Having been an honest official all his life, he made his fortune by marrying his grandson into the "richest family in Da Qi".
This was not a glorious event for him. On the day of Ryan's wedding, he was carried into the palace through the main gate. Zhou Chong's expression was the most indescribable among all the officials.
