Xia Lishuang looked at Wen Ranran's helpless eyes and sighed.
"Although the Hu family is not an aristocratic family, did you know... the Hu family's only legitimate daughter, Hu Feipeng's sister, was married to Han Chun, but she eventually died of dystocia when giving birth to Han Mo."
That makes sense.
As a royal censor, Han Chun led the group of officials to reduce big things into small things.
Now that Cheng Fenglou has just been transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he is about to step on Han Chun's head. Therefore, Han Chun can't help but take action?
"Then...what should we do now?"
Wen Ranran raised her head and asked Xia Lishuang.
Xia Lishuang curled her lips slightly and whispered a few words beside Wen Ranran.
Wen Ranran was stunned for a moment, looking a little strange.
"Are you sure this will work?"
…
The sun was just right, Wen Ranran looked at the brochure handed over by Jiang Tang, turned around and took a sip of tea, looking at Yuan Surong and Hu Duoer opposite.
This is the list finally determined by Wen Ranran after careful selection over the past few days.
The selection of female officials in the harem is a big or small matter, not to mention that there are many senior masters of ceremonies in the palace, and these people will also participate in the selection.
As the only one who could leave the palace, Wen Ranran was only responsible for the selection of the daughters of low-ranking officials.
"I called you here today because the selection of female officials is a big deal. I have to go to the palace to discuss it with the Queen in detail. Let's go together today!"
Yuan Zirong was stunned for a moment, looking at Wen Ranran in disbelief, and then at Hu Duoer beside her.
She seemed to be asking her, since it was a female officer selection, why was this idiot Hu Duoer standing here?
Everyone can see Hu Duoer's performance in the selection that day.
Wen Ranran felt clear in her heart, but she smiled lightly as if she didn't see Yuan Surong's eyes.
"Both young ladies are both smart and beautiful, so...but this time the selection of female officials is not only for you, but also for some female officials who have been immersed in the harem for years. There is a lot of pressure. You should work hard and take advantage of it!"
Wisdom and beauty coexist, but this compliment to an official is actually very poor.
Wen Ranran caught a glimpse of Yuan Surong frowning.
But Hu Duo'er beside him didn't hear it at all, and instead said happily.
"The princess was acting like that that day. I thought she really looked down on me!"
Humph, the noble Princess Mu Ling must bow her head obediently when she sees money.
Hu Duoer complained quietly in her heart, but managed to look respectful on her face.
When you enter the harem, you can see the emperor. When you see the emperor, as long as you show your beauty, you will be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, and your family will be raised to heaven.
Ever since his aunt married Han Chun but died early, the status of the Hu family has been declining.
This time, if I can get the emperor's favor...
Wen Ranran looked at Hu Duoer's determined look and smiled secretly in her heart, but she did not expose him.
After the Queen's decree came down, the three of them naturally entered the palace and went straight to Shufang Palace without any delay.
When she went there, the queen had just had lunch and learned that Wen Ranran was here, so she hurriedly greeted him to come in.
"Queen Mother, this is the official lady I have selected in the past two days. Please take a look at it!" Wen Ranran obediently bowed and introduced the two people behind her to the Queen.
"My daughter-in-law Yuan Jurong, my father, the son of the imperial family, is offering wine to Yuan Qinghuai! See you, the empress!"
Yuan Jurong lowered his head and saluted. While doing so, his green clothes and sleeves were fluttering, neither humble nor overbearing.
Hu Duoer, who was behind her, was dressed in delicate pink and was also very charming.
"My daughter Hu Duoer, my father Hu Feipeng, the young minister of Guanglu Temple! I have met the Queen! She is so beautiful! She looks like the fairy daughter in the painting!"
When Queen Tao heard Hu Duo'er's obviously flattering words, a cold look flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to smiling.
"Hu Duo'er? This name is good, Die'er Duo'er's, and the mouth is sweet enough!" Queen Tao took over Hu Duo'er's words without leaving a trace, and her tone seemed to be very intimate.
