The former emperor died suddenly and the new emperor ascended the throne. For a time, the palace was filled with undercurrents and turmoil.
The queen was not favored when she entered the palace, and died of illness in her early years. The late emperor favored the concubine, and when he was drunk, he once said that he would pass the throne to the princess born to the concubine. The imperial concubine's family is from a prominent family, and her influence in the court should not be underestimated. She actually built momentum for this drunken talk, and the East Palace was in a state of turmoil for a while. The princeling tried to protect the prince and this matter stopped. However, the new emperor and the current eldest princess were at loggerheads.
Xia Shutang, the neglected eldest daughter of Xia Changshi's family, was invited to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Unexpectedly, she accidentally got lost and turned around and bumped into the rumored eldest princess. She won favor with her unconfused brain and was taken back to Tongzhang Palace by the eldest princess. Xia Shutang rose from a neglected and pitiful young official to a young female official. She originally wanted to live a carefree life, but she didn't want to be involved in one incident after another and unable to escape.
A mysterious fire breaks out in the second-hand bookstore and the eldest princess is assassinated. The new emperor wants to remove the thorn in the side of the eldest princess. After escaping from death several times, Xia Shutang's unknown intentions became clear. When the two had a mutual connection, Xia Shutang was pushed away by the eldest princess herself.
It turns out that she is just a pawn used by the eldest princess to control the Xia family.
The Xia family was raided and Xia Shutang left the palace. The eldest princess and the young female official eventually drifted apart, but met again due to the invasion of foreign tribes.
The national crisis is imminent, and the two work together to turn the tide, and the long-buried sincerity gradually emerges.
"Knowing that you cannot do something but doing it is the greatest sincerity on my part."
The little female official, who is naturally intelligent and gradually matures* is aloof from the world on the outside and the eldest princess is dark and decisive on the inside.
Purpose: To compose a song of love between children in the turmoil of their home country.
