Chapter 72
After living in Beijing for more than a month, Su Xiaomei looked at the four corners of the sky every day, and ripples appeared in her heart. She missed the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the soft words of Wu Nong, and the figure of her and Yang Tianxiong walking side by side on the river bank with willows leaning on it. The same is true for Yang Tianxiong. Although he doesn't say anything, in the dead of night, his furrowed brows and occasional sighs reveal his deep attachment to his hometown. Both of them were thinking about when they would be able to return to the misty and rainy Jiangnan.
......
When Qianlong was mentioned, Su Xiaomei and Yang Tianxiong couldn't help but have unhappy looks on their faces. Although they were ministers, they had a lot of dissatisfaction with the emperor in their hearts. Especially when they thought about his attitude towards the Great Yan Queen Li Qingge, they felt even more dissatisfied.
Qianlong strode into Yanxi Palace with obvious anger on his face. When he thought of the turmoil that Xiao Yanzi caused in Kunning Palace and Li Qingge's aggressive words, his heart burned like fire. He sat on the dragon chair and told exactly what Xiao Yanzi had done, with undoubted majesty in his voice.
When Wei Guiren heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Her originally delicate face turned pale and colorless at this moment, and her eyes flashed with fear and helplessness. She cried and cried: "Your Majesty, I am really unjust! I have always respected the Queen, how could I dare to have the slightest idea of coveting the position of the middle palace? Besides, I was born in a shackles, and since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs , there is no precedent for a woman to become a queen. I hope your majesty will understand clearly!"
Qianlong couldn't help but feel soft in his heart when he looked at Wei Guiren's charming appearance. He thought of Guiren Wei's usual gentleness and thoughtfulness, and that she was still pregnant with the dragon seed, and he felt even more pity in his heart. He sighed and said: "This matter is all caused by Xiao Yanzi's mouth, which was used by Queen Yan. I have already punished Xiao Yanzi, so let's forget about it."
When Wei Guiren heard that he had been pardoned, he was so excited that tears flowed down. She looked at Qianlong gratefully, with a gentle light shining in her eyes. She choked and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! I will definitely remember it in my heart. I will be more careful in the future and never cause trouble to Your Majesty again."
Qianlong originally wanted to make a big thing a small matter, but he turned it into a trivial matter. Wei Guiren stepped down one step. However, the queen couldn't stand her charming skills. She used Xiao Yanzi's words to stir up a stir, and the whole court was upset. The ministers wrote petitions one by one, demanding that the Wei nobles be severely punished to correct the atmosphere of the palace.
In the court hall, the ministers were discussing one after another, and their voices were rising and falling. Some ministers said with righteous indignation: "This action of Mr. Wei is really treasonous and must be severely punished! Otherwise, where is the outline of my court? Where are the etiquette and laws?" Some ministers shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that the world is declining and people's hearts are not the same as before.
Qianlong sat on the dragon throne, listening to the discussions of the ministers, feeling extremely depressed. He didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big fuss, and quickly ordered a thorough investigation. However, trouble started after this investigation. The finger pointed directly at the queen, Qianlong was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
Although he knew that the queen did not like Wei Gui and Xiao Yanzi, he did not expect that she would make trouble so blatantly. Although the queen had some means before, she was never so bold. Now that he has the support of his daughter Li Qingge, he is becoming more and more courageous. Li Qingge never failed to warn the queen that with Queen Dayan here, no one could bully the mother and daughter, and they would never suffer a loss.
The queen had a lot of pent-up resentment in her heart. Now that she had Li Qingge as her backing, she naturally no longer tolerated it. With her counterattack, Wei Gui and Xiao Yanzi immediately became the target of public criticism. The entire harem was shrouded in tension and depression. The maids and eunuchs were all cautious for fear of getting into trouble.
Although Qianlong knew very well that the Queen could not be compared with the Fucha family, but in the eyes of the people in the world, the Queen was the mother of the country! Her dignity is sacrosanct. Anyone who dares to insult the queen is challenging the etiquette and trampling on the rules. Especially the old civil servants of the previous dynasty, all of them valued etiquette more than their lives. They recalled the fierce fights between emperors and civil servants during the Jiajing and Wanli years, and they were filled with awe of the queen.
Although the Qing Dynasty was an absolute monarchy to the extreme, the power of civil servants should not be underestimated. Qianlong looked at the ministers who had written petitions and knew that the storm could not be easily calmed down. He must find a suitable solution that can not only maintain the dignity of the queen, but also calm the anger of the ministers.
However, this is easier said than done? Qianlong was pacing in the palace, feeling restless. He thought of Li Qingge's stern face and sharp words, and felt helpless in his heart. He knew that the root cause of this turmoil lay in the grudges between Li Qingge and the Qing Dynasty. If we want to resolve this crisis, we may have to start with Li Qingge.
So Qianlong decided to summon Li Qingge and try to discuss the matter with her. However, when he came to Li Qingge's palace, he was told that she had left the capital and returned to Dayan. Qianlong froze on the spot, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect Li Qingge to be so decisive and leave immediately.
Looking at the empty palace, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He knew that this storm might not subside for a while. And the feud between him and Li Qingge is far from over.
At this time, Su Xiaomei and Yang Tianxiong also learned about Li Qingge's departure. They looked at each other and smiled, understanding Li Qingge's choice in their hearts. They knew that Li Qingge was an independent and courageous woman who would not let herself get caught up in endless battles. And her choice to leave may be the best solution.
Looking at the high palace wall, they felt an inexplicable emotion in their hearts. They knew that this palace was like a huge cage, binding them tightly within it. And all they can do is wait silently for that day to come - when they can truly leave this cage and return to the world of freedom.
Gong Wei is deeply in love
Speaking of historians, that is really not a job that ordinary people can do. The pens in their hands are sharper than swords. If you accidentally drop ink, it will be a matter of infamy for thousands of years. No matter how glorious you are during your lifetime, you will inevitably be reviled after your death.
Emperor Qianlong was sitting on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed, and the fire in his heart was as if he was being roasted by volcanic lava. He could not wait to rush to Kunning Palace immediately and ask the queen why he allowed those rumors to fly all over the sky. But reason told him that he couldn't do this. With this questioning, wouldn't those rumors become a sure thing? When the time comes, the old ministers of the previous dynasty will not be able to join forces to attack him. Where will he be able to put his face as an emperor?
Emperor Qianlong sighed, his eyes fell on the memorial on his desk, but he couldn't read a word. He stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, every step seemed so heavy. He thought of the queen's usual gentleness and virtuousness, and compared it with the rumors in the palace now, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't believe, and didn't want to believe, that the queen would do such a thing.
Guiren Wei was sitting in his palace, playing with a jade bracelet in his hand, feeling very anxious. She never thought that the root cause of all this was that girl Xiao Yanzi. She originally thought that as long as she stayed on her own terms, she could live a stable life in this harem. But now it seems that everything is just her fantasy.
Wei Guiren sighed and looked at the garden outside the window. It is spring at this time, and the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, red, yellow, purple... colorful and beautiful. But her heart felt like it was being blown by the cold spring wind, making her shiver with cold. She knew she could no longer sit there and wait for death.
So, Guiren Wei decided to show off her trump card - announcing that she was pregnant. This news was like thunder on the ground, and the harem exploded. The maids were talking one after another, the eunuchs were running around telling each other, and the entire harem was immersed in a commotion. But the former court immediately became quiet. As for the royal family, the most important thing is their heirs. As soon as this Wei nobleman became pregnant, his status naturally rose.
Wei Guiren was lying on the bed, feeling the little life moving in his belly. There was both joy and worry in her heart. She knew that this child was both her hope and her burden. She must carefully protect him until he is born safely.
When the queen heard that Guiren Wei was pregnant, she became very angry. She thought to herself, this couldn't have come at a worse time! Although Wei Guiren already has a princess, if there is another prince, the mother will be more valuable than the son. Coupled with the emperor's favor, the matter of establishing the crown prince may be certain. The more the queen thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she even considered having an abortion.
I think back then, Wei Guiren caused the queen to lose two children and a daughter, Qing Ge was displaced, and the thirteenth elder brother also died. The Queen remembers this hatred very clearly. Now she wanted to let Wei Guiren also taste the pain of losing a child and feel the feeling of separation of flesh and blood.
The queen sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her slightly haggard face in the mirror. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked her belly, where her child had been conceived, but was also killed by Wei Guiren. There was a fierce look in her eyes, and she secretly vowed to make Wei Guiren pay the price.
However, when the queen murdered Wei Guiren's fetus, she didn't feel any guilt at all. She even hoped that Guiren Wei would have more children, and then she would abort them one by one, so as to relieve the hatred in her heart. She felt that it was natural for her to do this because Wei Guiren owed her so much.
As soon as Grandma Rong saw the Queen's condition, she knew something was wrong. She quickly grabbed the queen and said, "My queen, please don't be impulsive!" The queen became angry when she heard this: "What? Can't we just let her give birth to the prince?" Nanny Rong smiled and patted the queen on the back. : "My dear, think about it, what if she gives birth to ten or eight princes? It won't be able to shake your status."
When the queen heard this, her anger subsided a little. She thought about it and it was the same thing: now that she is the queen, her mother honors the world, she can have whatever she wants, so why should she have the same knowledge as Wei Guiren? But...every time she saw her triumphant look, the queen couldn't help but get angry. She felt that she had to do something to vent her anger.
So, the queen began to find trouble with Guiren Wei. At one moment she said that the clothes worn by Mr. Wei were too colorful and against the rules; at the next she said that the spices used by Mr. Wei were too pungent and affected her body. In short, she just tried every means to cause trouble for Wei Guiren.
Although Guiren Wei was dissatisfied, he did not dare to confront the queen. She could only swallow her anger and silently endure the Queen's difficulties. She knew that her only support now was the child in her belly. As long as the child can be born safely, there is hope for her to turn around.
The queen couldn't help feeling a little proud when she saw Wei Guiren swallowing his anger. She felt that she had finally found someone to vent her anger on. As a result, she made things difficult for Wei Guiren even more unscrupulously, and sometimes even beat her.
Wei Guiren was beaten with bruises all over her body, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. She knew that she couldn't be defeated like this. She must live strong, for the sake of the child in her belly and for herself.
Looking at Guiren Wei’s stubborn look, the queen became even more angry. She felt that Wei Guiren was provoking her authority and challenging her bottom line. So, she decided to give Wei Guiren a heavy blow, causing her to completely collapse.
The queen began to spread rumors that the child in Wei Guiren's belly was a monster and would bring disaster to the Qing Dynasty. This rumor soon spread throughout the harem and even to the former dynasty. Ministers wrote letters one after another, asking Emperor Qianlong to execute the child in Wei Guiren's belly.
Emperor Qianlong was also shocked when he heard this rumor. He couldn't believe it was true, but he couldn't help but believe it. After all, this is a major event related to the future of the Qing Dynasty! He hesitated again and again, but decided to summon Wei Guiren to ask for clarification.
After hearing the summons from Emperor Qianlong, Wei Guiren felt nervous and scared. She knew that she was now in a difficult situation. If she admitted that the child in her belly was a monster, she would be executed; if she denied it, she would be considered to be defying the emperor's authority.
Wei Guiren thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. She told Emperor Qianlong that the child in her belly was a normal child and definitely not a monster. She also asked Emperor Qianlong to send someone to investigate the source of the rumor and clear her name.
Emperor Qianlong looked at Guiren Wei's firm eyes and felt a little moved in his heart. He decided to believe Wei Guiren for once and sent someone to investigate the source of the rumor.
After some investigation, the truth finally came out. It turns out that this rumor was spread by the Queen! Emperor Qianlong was furious when he heard the result. He didn't expect the queen to do such a thing!
Emperor Qianlong decided to severely punish the queen as a warning to others. He ordered the queen to be thrown into the cold palace, where she would never be able to stand up again. Wei Guiren, on the other hand, received the protection of Emperor Qianlong because of the child in his belly, and was able to live a stable life in the harem.
The storm finally subsided. Wei Guiren looked at the child in his belly, filled with hope. She knew that this child was her future and her hope. She will protect him well and let him be born into this world safely.
And what about the Queen? After she was thrown into the cold palace, she cried all day long. She regretted that her original impulse and jealousy had caused her to lose the emperor's favor and status. But it was already too late, she could no longer reverse her fate.
In this contest of deep love for the palace, Wei Guiren finally won the victory by relying on his wisdom and perseverance. The queen paid a heavy price for her jealousy and impulsiveness. This also tells us a truth: to survive in the palace, you must not only have wisdom and beauty, but also tolerance and endurance. Only in this way can we stay in this intrigues and intrigues in the palace.
Nine Heavens of Fengyi: Records of the Harem
She felt so oppressed, as if a huge boulder was pressing on her chest, making her unable to breathe. She couldn't figure it out, that bitch of the Wei family actually harmed her child, and as a queen, she couldn't do anything about it! Every time in the dead of night, she would think of her little son who died young, with his pink face and crisp laughter, but now she could only see him in her dreams. When she thought of this, the hatred in her heart was like a wildfire starting a prairie fire, and she wished she could eat the Wei family alive. In this hatred, there is not only anger, but also the flame of jealousy burning brightly. She was jealous that the Wei family could get Qianlong's favor, and that the Wei family could be pregnant with a dragon seed, but she could only watch helplessly, helpless.
The queen's love for Qianlong was deep and persistent. She loved him so much that she couldn't help herself, so she couldn't bear to see him favoring other women, and she couldn't stand him raising children outside. She felt that Qianlong was hers, everything to her, and no one could share his love. Therefore, she always used rules to teach Xiao Yanzi. On the one hand, she wanted to keep the royal bloodline pure and prevent those lowly women from tarnishing the royal bloodline. On the other hand, she was also angry that Qianlong had an illegitimate daughter. . She felt that this was Qianlong's betrayal of her and a blasphemy against her love.
However, Qianlong was still not satisfied with the beauties in the palace and had to go outside to have fun. The queen didn't understand, she really didn't understand Qianlong's heart. She didn't understand why the love between husband and wife was not as good as the concubine's; the concubine's love was not as good as the maid's; and the maid's closeness was not as exciting as those outside women. Qianlong was a romantic man, so he loved this one. She tried to understand and tolerate, but she still couldn't accept it.
"My Lady, calm down, calm down!" Nanny Rong comforted her with a smile, with a hint of helplessness and flattery in her voice, "You have to think about the fifth princess and the twelfth brother, they But I rely on you. When the fifth princess asked for the title, she wanted to make you the supreme emperor. How important is the status of her mother in the whole harem? Your blessings are not even comparable to those of the Queen Mother!"
After hearing this, the queen still frowned, and her voice was filled with sadness: "No matter how lucky you are, It can't make up for the pain of losing a child. If Brother Thirteen had not been killed by her, I would have no regrets in this life." As she spoke, her eyes turned red again.
Seeing this, Aunt Rong said coldly: "We must settle the grievances of the Thirteenth Brother with the Wei family. With the support of the Fifth Princess, are you still afraid that you will not be able to defeat her? A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. The princess will never let her go." Her words were filled with hatred and determination. The queen nodded, with a fierce look in her eyes: "You are right, I can't just let it go. I want the Wei family to know the price of harming my child!"
Li Qingge has always paid attention to the movements in the harem. She is a smart woman and knows that the situation in the harem is unpredictable. When she heard that her mother was furious because of Wei Guiren's pregnancy, she knew it was time to take action.
The next day, she dressed up carefully and went to Kunning Palace. Since taking off the bronze mask, she has put more effort into dressing up. She felt that a woman could only gain a foothold in this harem if she dressed beautifully. The Empress Dowager Cixi once said: "If a woman doesn't dress herself up well, how can she live?" Although these words came from the mouth of the temptress who brought disaster to the country and the people, when it comes to dressing up, it is still quite reasonable. of.
That day, Li Qingge wore a pomegranate red Luo Yi. The color was so bright that it could drip water. Although it was not as solemn as true red, it was full of youthful atmosphere. The clothes are also embroidered with gold thread, and large yellow peonies bloom on it, crystal clear and sparkling, so beautiful that people dare not look at it. Peony is the king of flowers, and Yao Huang is the best among peonies. He is simply the king of flowers! Li Qingge looked like a blooming peony when she put on this dress, and the Yao Huang peony embroidered on her dress complemented each other even more, making her look even more delicate and charming.
She walked into the main hall of Kunning Palace with light steps, and saw the queen sitting there, holding a book in her hand, her brows furrowed. That booklet is Tongshi - a booklet that records the emperor's visit to his concubine, commonly known as the "Diary of the Emperor's Happiness". If a concubine is pregnant, she must first have someone from the Jingshi Room check her Tongshi to determine if she is of dragon origin. Every time the queen read this book, she felt heartbroken, because what was recorded in it was Qianlong's love and blessings for other women.
Seeing Li Qingge come in, the queen immediately stopped her anger and greeted him with a smile: "Qingge, why are you here? Sit down, sit down!" She warmly greeted Li Qingge to sit down, and even personally Pour her a cup of tea.
Li Qingge felt funny in his heart when he saw her changing face faster than turning the pages of a book, but on the surface he still said calmly: "I heard that Wei Guiren is pregnant, and I'm afraid there will be trouble in the harem again. Queen Mother You have to be careful.”
The queen sighed, her voice full of helplessness: "Yes, the situation in the harem is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen next? But Qingge, don't worry, I will never let that bitch Wei You succeeded!" Her eyes flashed with determination.
Li Qingge looked at her and thought to himself: This upheaval in the harem may have just begun! And she will never stand idly by. She wants to avenge her mother and fight for a place in this harem for herself. So, she smiled and said to the queen: "Mother, I will always be by your side. No matter what happens, we will face it together."
After hearing her words, the queen felt warm in her heart. She held Li Qingge's hand tightly: "Qingge, you are really my good boy! With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything!"
Two People looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with firmness and determination. They knew that this turmoil in the harem would be a long battle. But they also believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and protect their own happiness and dignity.
Feng Yi Tianxia: The Queen's Road
The queen is sitting on the gorgeous phoenix throne, the golden embroidery thread on the phoenix robe shines in the candlelight, her face is as calm as water, There was unquestionable determination in his eyes. She spoke slowly, her voice carrying the calmness of the years: "After all these years, I will still be afraid of her getting pregnant? Besides, as long as you are here, no one can shake my position."
Qing Ge stood aside, wearing an elegant blue palace dress, the skirt swaying gently, like a touch of fresh green in spring. She smiled slightly, and her gentle words carried a power that should not be underestimated: "It's great that the queen has such an idea. Although the beloved concubine is favored, as long as the queen abides by etiquette and makes no mistakes, the position of the queen will be as stable as a mountain. I think back then, how favored Concubine Dong E of Shunzhi was, but because of the protection of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Empress Xiaohuizhang still sat firmly in the middle palace and enjoyed all the blessings.”
Empress Xiaohuizhang, the successor of Shunzhi, was also the empress dowager, the mother of Emperor Kangxi. Her image gradually became clear in Qingge's narrative. She had no heirs and was not favored by Shunzhi, but her position as queen was as secure as a rock. Her portrait hangs in a corner of the palace. In the painting, she is dignified and virtuous, with an unworldly indifference in her eyes. Kangxi's biological mother died young, so he treated his aunt with respect throughout his life. As a result, Empress Xiaohuizhang became one of the rare empress dowagers in the history of the Qing Dynasty who had both good fortune and longevity. She has been the queen for seven years and the empress dowager for fifty-seven years. After two dynasties, she has been the queen for sixty-four years, which is unique in history.
Qing Ge’s eyes stayed on the portrait for a moment, then turned to the queen and continued: "Emperor Kangxi is the longest-reigning emperor, and his aunt is also the longest-lived among the queen mothers. Emperor Qianlong He was the longest-lived emperor. His mother, Niu Hulu, was still alive. At the age of eighty-six, you are also the longest-lived among the queen mothers. This succession of the longest reign and the longest life span is really a wonderful coincidence in history. Mother, you are also such a lucky person."
After hearing Qing Ge’s words, the queen felt a warm current in her heart. She sighed and said with emotion: "Empress Xiaohuizhang is really blessed with both wisdom and blessings, and is a rare virtuous person. It's a pity that Emperor Shunzhi doesn't like her. And in the emperor's heart, there is always only..." At this point, she shook her head. He shook his head and said no more words, a trace of indescribable sadness flashed in his eyes.
It is always difficult for living people to compare with those who have passed away. The power of the white moonlight left a deep mark on the queen's heart. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not replace Queen Xiaoxian's position in the emperor's heart.
Qing Ge smiled softly, her voice as clear and sweet as a mountain stream: "Although Queen Xiaoxian is unforgettable, she is already a thing of the past. Back then, Fu Heng and his son, Fu Cha Mingrui They all fell into my hands, and I almost broke the spine of the Fucha clan. If it hadn't been for Emperor Qianlong's protection, they would have declined long ago." There was an unquestionable confidence in her tone.
When the queen heard this, she said seriously: "Queen Xiaoxian is a kind person, and I respect her. Death is like a lamp going out, so why should we bother the Fucha family again? Qingge, although you are smart and capable, but We must also learn tolerance and kindness.”
Qing Ge looked at the queen in surprise, not expecting her to say such a thing. She took a deep breath, and then responded with a smile: "Since the Queen Mother said so, I will naturally not go to the Fucha family for no reason. I am also tired of the filth in the harem. Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I will clean it up." It's clean. It's just..." She paused for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "There are some things that I can't just let go of if I want to."
The queen looked at Qing Ge, and her heart surged. An inexplicable worry. She knew that although Qing Ge looked gentle and virtuous on the surface, he hid deep hatred and unwillingness in his heart. She was worried that Qingge would be on the road of no return because of this.
"What are you going to do?" the queen asked, with a hint of trembling in her voice, "Don't act rashly, the emperor is your father after all."
Qing Ge held the queen's hand. Holding his hand, he smiled and comforted: "How can there be an overnight feud between mother and daughter? How could I do evil things? I just have some thoughts. Queen Mother, do you know? What will I do if I establish the Great Yan Dynasty? The institution of marriage? ”
The queen replied: "I know, you said that you would practice monogamy." There was a kind of expectation and curiosity in her eyes.
However, the queen did not know that the monogamy mentioned by Qingge was different from what she understood. In ancient times, the system of monogamy and multiple concubines was actually practiced, but what Qingge wanted was true equality between men and women, monogamy and a life together.
“Yes, I will practice monogamy.” Qing Ge’s voice was firm and clear, “But this is not a simple system change, but requires the recognition and support of the entire society. I will start from the harem Start and gradually clean up those dirty and Corruption, let the harem become a truly pure place. Then, I will promote my concept to the whole country and let more people accept the concept of monogamy."
The queen listened to Qingge's words. There was an indescribable shock in my heart. She knew that Qingge's idea was bold and avant-garde, but she also knew that Qingge had the determination and ability to realize it.
“Qingge, your idea is good, but it is very difficult to implement it.” The Queen said, “You need to have enough wisdom and courage to face those resistances and challenges.”
< br>
Qing Ge smiled slightly, her eyes shining with determination: "Mother, I am ready. No matter how many difficulties and challenges I encounter, I will persevere until I achieve my goal."
The queen looked at Qing Ge, feeling an inexplicable sense of pride and joy in her heart. She knew that Qingge was her daughter and her pride. No matter how the future changes, she will stand firmly by Qingge's side, support her and accompany her.
"Okay, Qingge, I support you." The Queen's voice carried an unquestionable firmness, "No matter what the future holds, I will be with you."
Qing After hearing the queen's words, Ge felt a warm current in his heart. She hugged the queen tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Mother, thank you. As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."
The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate all their emotions into this In the embrace. They know that no matter how the future changes, they will work together to face all challenges and difficulties.
At this time, the moonlight from the window spilled into the hall, illuminating the faces of the mother and daughter. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, which seemed to indicate a better future and hope. In this quiet night, they relied on each other and looked forward to the dawn of the future together.
No matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead is, they will walk it hand in hand and jointly create their own glory and legend. Because they are mother and daughter, they are each other's most solid support and support. In the years to come, they will jointly write a legendary story that belongs to them, which will be remembered by future generations forever.
Feng Yi Jiutian: The Legend of Qing Ge
My true wife, she is the only companion in a man's life, the one who will stand side by side with him and weather the storms. Even if you are the emperor, you can only have one queen and empress, with whom you can share the supreme glory and loneliness. If the queen is gone, whether she dies of illness or is deposed, then a new queen can be established to continue the country's lineage. From ancient times to the present, although monogamy has been the norm in name, the system in the past was very different from today. Nowadays, what people pay attention to is the one-to-one relationship between husband and wife, which is the dual integration of mind and body; but in the past, the monogamy was often followed by a group of concubines, like shadows, living silently in the shadow of the main wife. Down.
Li Qingge, the new queen of the Yan Kingdom, has a completely different view on all this. She stood in the queen's palace, wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a bright beaded crown, with an unquestionable determination between her brows. Her voice was clear and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains, gurgling through her heart: "What I said about monogamy is true. Men in our Great Yan Kingdom are not allowed to take concubines."
When the Queen heard this, she didn't take it seriously at first, and just regarded it as a joke made by Qing Ge. However, when Qingge's smile gradually faded and a serious light flashed in her eyes, the queen realized that the new queen was not joking.
"What? Can't take concubines anymore?" The queen was startled and sat up from the bed. The movement was so big that even the flag on her head shook, making the Danfeng Chaoyang step jingle. , as if shocked by this sudden news.
Qing Ge nodded, with a firm and powerful voice: "Yes, men in Dayan are not only not allowed to take concubines, but their wives also have the right to inherit property. If there is no special agreement before marriage, any income earned after marriage will The money is shared by both husband and wife. In case of divorce, the wife can still get half of the property; if the husband dares to mess around outside and is caught by the wife and sues the government, the wife can still get more property..."
As Qing Ge said , a look of disbelief appeared on the Queen's face. She couldn't believe her ears and was shocked. Gender equality? Freedom to marry? Illegitimate children have no inheritance rights? These are big taboos for men! In the eyes of the Queen, these concepts were like fantasy, subverting all the traditions and routines she was familiar with.
However, Qingge did not waver at all. She sneered, her eyes flashing with perseverance: "I have military power in my hands, and I will deal with anyone who dares to disobey me. First, severely punish a few disobedient people, and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and see who dares to have an opinion."< br>
It took the Queen a long time to come back to her senses. She looked at Qing Ge as if she were looking at a stranger. This woman who was once gentle, virtuous, and considerate has now become so decisive and decisive. However, in Qingge's eyes, the Queen saw unprecedented firmness and belief.
Qing Ge held the queen's hand, her voice gentle but firm: "The general trend of the world is like this river, mighty and mighty. Those who go upstream will prosper, and those who go against the current will perish. Equality between men and women , this is a historical trend, and no one can stop it. I use my power to promote equal laws. This is. In line with the current situation. Although this reform has shaken the taste of upper-class men, it has allowed more men at the bottom to have wives and eliminated the need for daughters from poor families to be concubines. It has won the hearts of the people. Who can overthrow me?"
Following Qing Ge’s words, the Queen’s eyes gradually showed a thoughtful look. She began to think seriously about every sentence and every word Qing Ge said. She discovered that although these concepts subverted tradition, they contained an indescribable truth and power.
Seeing that the Empress was moved, Qingge continued to paint a beautiful picture of equality between men and women: "Husband and wife love each other, and the children grow up surrounded by love. There are no calculations and fights in the family, only full of love. Warmth and happiness. This kind of family is the real home!"
The Queen was fascinated, her eyes shining with longing. She seemed to see happy families, under the system of gender equality, blooming everywhere like spring flowers. She murmured to herself: "That's right! Even if a woman is fertile, she won't be able to give birth to many children. If a man doesn't have concubines, he may have fewer children, but his love will be deeper."

Having said this, the Queen slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Okay! Great!" Her voice was full of excitement and joy, as if she had seen a new era, which was slowly opening up with their efforts. prelude.
Who said the royal family is the most ruthless? That's because the emperor's harem has three thousand beauties and a large number of children. Although the father's love is vast, it is almost like a mist when it is distributed to each child. People's hearts are full of flesh, and if family affection weakens, children will inevitably become indifferent. But now, with the reform of Qingge, all this will change drastically.
The Queen looked at Qing Ge, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration. She knew that the new queen not only had extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also had a heart to benefit all people in the world. She believes that under the leadership of Qing Ge, Dayan Kingdom will usher in a new era, a beautiful era of equality between men and women, family harmony, and social harmony.
And Qingge also gradually grew into a true leader during this reform. She used her wisdom and courage to challenge tradition, subvert the rules, and win the status and rights that women in the world deserved. Her name will always be engraved in the long river of history and become a story that will be admired and praised by future generations.
