Time flies swiftly, and, in the blink of an eye, summer arrives. This year's summer begins with high temperatures, but luckily, there is no drought, as the rainfall is plentiful.
With the onset of summer, the harem received two Zhaoyi Consorts and two lower-ranking concubines. Among them, Consort Wang, who holds the highest status, is the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue.
This has drawn significant attention to her since her entry into the palace. With this Zhaoyi Consort's arrival, rumors have surfaced that Lord Wang could be the next Minister of Revenue.
Zhulan seldom attends banquets now, and the invitations sent to the Zhou family are mostly for Zhao's daughters, among whom Su Xuan is the most popular.
Having returned from the Wen family, Su Xuan attended the birthday banquet of the Wen family's eldest daughter-in-law today.
