As the only daughter of a fourth-grade official, Shen Duruo had planned his life course early. After completing your studies in the Imperial College, you can go to the Ministry of Industry or stay in the prison to work as an arithmetic clerk, earn a little money, and live a stable life.
Who knows that life has unpredictable ups and downs, and this road will become blocked as time goes by.
On the Zhongyuan Festival in the sixth year of Jian'an, Emperor Chengzong hosted a banquet for civil and military officials in Hechun Garden.
Before the banquet started, Shen Duruo followed the chamberlain and sat among the female officials. The people at the table with her were all the new female scholars who had just entered the court.
Not many people knew her, so she was content. The fruit wine in the palace was very fragrant. Shen Duruo and the female official next to him drank several glasses while chatting.
Gu Pingzhang glanced at it from a distance, but still felt uneasy. After speaking to Cheng Xiang, he walked towards Shen Duruo.
Shen Duruo looked at it, feeling uneasy, because Tan Bei was still discovered. She is now more than four months pregnant and drinks alcohol on weekdays. Gu Pingzhang is worried about her health and keeps a close eye on her at home.
He moved the wine glass in his hand, and Gu Pingzhang was already in front of him. Glancing at Shen Duruo, he was a little angry but had to tolerate it.
Gu Pingzhang bowed to the other female officials at the table and said, "Please help me take care of my wife. She is pregnant now and cannot drink too much."
Today was a court banquet. Gu Pingzhang was not wearing the royal uniform, but was wearing a purple robe. A female official recognized that she was the imperial censor and hurriedly stood up to return the favor.
After Gu Pingzhang indicated that there was no need to be polite, he gave Shen Duruo a reminding look before returning to the front.
After he left, the table was quiet for a long time. Then a bold female official asked Shen Duruo if she was the princess of the county.
"Before I arrived in the capital, I heard people talking about the deep love between the Yong'an County Prince and the Princess. Today I saw it, and it was true. They all said that the County Prince was charming, talented and beautiful. When they met the real person, they just felt that the Princess was indeed a blessing." After a female official finished speaking, others also praised her.
"Princess, can you tell us how you met Prince Yong'an?"
Hearing this, Shen Duruo smiled. Ever since Wei Sanbian wrote a book of conversations between her and Gu Pingzhang, she always met young female officials in court to ask about these things.
"That's a long story..."
Serious copywriting:
Twenty-three years after Longqi, the struggle between the princelings and the Wei royal party intensified.
Shunzong only favored Concubine Xu, and the Xu family was once at the top of the court. They suppressed the nobles and supported the Cui family of their mother's family and other world-renowned nobles.
As a result, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government specialized in playing tricks on themselves, buying and selling officials was repeatedly forbidden, and students all over the world were greatly disappointed.
The story takes place against this background.
Gu Pingzhang, the prince of Yongan County, the son of the eldest princess of Yangshuo, Shen Duruo, the daughter of Shen Yuan, the former Minister of Household Affairs, and others,
Facing the chaos in the court in the late Longqi period, he promoted the pure and cleansed the turbid, and assisted the prince in ascending the throne.
All the students in the world yearn for it when all the talents are gathered together and the original source is pure. In such a prosperous time, it is said that the whole court is full of beauty.
"Fortunately, the breeze is bright and the moon is bright, the moss is spreading, and the clouds are high. The south of the Yangtze River is good, a thousand bells of fine wine, and a song that fills the courtyard."
Purpose: Different from "the country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky", how do literati in prosperous times realize their self-ideas?
