Saiunkoku Monogatari
This is an anime that I have been watching recently. It is set in an older time period with an Emperor that has no interest in doing his work. An advisor hires a young girl to become his consort and encourage him to do his work as emperor.
It's cute, it's funny, and overall interesting. Yes is it a girly romance but I enjoyed it very much. I like anime's in older time periods, not to mention the main girl plays Erhu (Is that how its spelled?) and it is nice to listen to.

Synopsis
Saiunkoku is a world of eight provinces or houses, each named after a different colour. The new Emperor, Shi Ryuuki, has gained for a reputation for being uninterested in courtly matters and for flaunting his love for men. Shuurei, although born of the important Kou family, has difficulty making ends meet. She easily accepts an invitation to be the Emperor's concubine in order to turn him into a good ruler. The mysterious Seiran, a young man who was adopted by her father, goes with her as Ryuuki's bodyguard. Entering the imperial palace revives Shuurei's dream of being a court official, and, together with the many companions she meets along the way, continues moving bravely forward while trying to fend off the Emperor's advances.
