After the wedding, it was the New Year's Eve. The emperor spared Xia Lishuang three days of morning court and planned to hold a banquet in the Taiye Pond in the palace on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
There have been great changes in the DPRK this year. Two princes were lost in palace coups, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for all officials.
Nowadays, countless new people have been promoted in the government, but many old parties are facing an embarrassing situation.
The destruction of the Han family and the Li family has become a sword hanging over the heads of the aristocratic families. Many people are also staring at the Wen family, but Cheng Fenglou is now a celebrity, and Wen Ranran has become the crown princess again.
.
As for Wen Changjin... he had already resigned from his post and stayed at home after the First World War in Northern Xinjiang.
After all, the emperor was concerned about Wen Ranran and gave him the title of Duke Wen.
The positions of the prime minister and the imperial censor are vacant, and the vacant position of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army is filled by the young general Qin Zhuo, with the assistance of the highly qualified Wang Fengshan, which is considered safe.
For a time, everyone in the imperial court was in danger.
Even Wen Ranran, the fourth-rank official, was stared at by countless people.
Wen Ranran looked at the files in front of her and tried to imitate those civil servants who wrote memorials.
Not much has happened recently, and it can't even be called a big deal.
It's just that over at Linyuan Pavilion, Xia Liqing lived up to his name as King Wen. He was compiling a new regional chronicle and asked Jiang Shu to be his guide. He was highly praised by the emperor.
However, Mr. Yuan Qinghuai and Mr. Yuan Lao were focused on compiling the general history of the Five Kingdoms, and the progress was slow.
Wen Ranran lived in seclusion and took good care of her body. As for Jiang Shu, Xia Liqing caught him during this period, and the two openly fell in love under the pretext of work.
Wen Ranran rarely spends time with Xia Lishuang at home, like salted fish, and they make firewood every night after their wedding.
On this day, Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang were basking in the winter plum blossoms together, preparing to seal some and make plum blossom wine next year.
However, Jiang Tang suddenly came to report that Yuan Qinghuai was visiting.
Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang looked at each other, and each could see the confusion in the other's eyes.
Yuan Qinghuai is now just a literary official, advocating the compilation of general histories of the past dynasties. He has always been stable and stable, and is regarded by countless people as a master of historians. How could he suddenly...
Yuan Qinghuai was dressed in Tsing Yi and his face looked very old now. He hurried in and wiped his tears and said: "Old minister...I shouldn't have disturbed His Highness and Princess, but...it's just that something happened to Su Rong, so I asked Princess to go."
Save me... I'm so grateful!"
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows silently.
Yuan Surong?
"Master Yuan, don't be impatient, speak slowly!"
"Old man... I don't know what happened. I just heard... I heard from people in the palace that someone found a man's jade pendant on Su Rong... I suspected that Su Rong was having an affair with someone. Now, Concubine Jiang has taken her away.
He is being held in Ye Ting...please ask the princess to save Su Rong!"
Yuan Qinghuai burst into tears, but Wen Ranran understood instantly.
In this harem, when it comes to iron-blooded skills, Queen Tao is definitely the best, and when it comes to beauty, Concubine Tao is no less generous, but when it comes to the care between women, Concubine Jiang is the one who takes the lead.
Concubine Jiang was not even a concubine originally, but one of the four concubines in Emperor Rongcheng's harem.
After the destruction of the Li family, the Jiang family became a new generation of super family. Emperor Rongcheng also took advantage of the situation and promoted Jiang Guifei to the position. Now, she is second only to Empress Tao. With the support of her mother's family, she is the only one.
Unfortunately, because he was not favored, he had no children.
When Empress Tao was away on an expedition, Concubine Jiang took charge of all matters in the harem.
Wen Ranran's face looked a little ugly. Nowadays, although she and Queen Tao have two official positions, the system for female officials in the court is not perfect.
Yuan Jurong has just turned 23 now, and has not yet reached the age of 25 to leave the palace.
Moreover, although her position is special, she is still a female official in the harem. It is a very serious crime for a female official to mess with the palace!
Although the situation is not obvious now, she and Xia Lishuang have already made enemies with the Jiang family. Yuan Zurong and Jiang Yan have always been close to the Prince's Mansion. No wonder the other party would take advantage of her!
Wen Ranran let out a deep breath and helped Yuan Qinghuai up in a low voice.
"Master Yuan, don't be anxious, I'll go into the palace and have a look right now!"
