Upon becoming emperor, Wei Jinyi became busier than ever before. As Empress, Wei Ruo was naturally tasked with managing the affairs of the imperial harem.
Luckily, the palace was not heavily populated, Wei Jinyi had not taken in any concubines, and the previous emperor did not leave behind any imperial concubines. With minimal staff, there was little to preoccupy her time.
Though managing the daily routines and staff of the palace was a more complicated task, Wei Ruo was skilled in handling these affairs. The principles were the same whether within or outside the palace, and the methods were universally applicable.
In addition, Wei Ruo was also involved in relief efforts for various disaster-stricken areas and spring planting initiatives. At times, she would also participate in government decision making, discussing related matters with other officials from behind a curtain.
