…

In a small courtyard, Li Yan saw Xing Bingyi kneeling in front of him.

Xing Bingyi is a native of Kaifeng Xiangfu, and his father Xing Huan once served as a courtier.

When Zhao Gou was King Kang, he married Xing Bingyi, and later Zhao Ji named him Mrs. Jiaguo.

When Zhao Gou sent Jin Ying, he left his wife and children in the mansion.

As a result, Xing Bingyi and Zhao Gou's two side rooms, Tian Chunluo, Jiang Zuimei, and Zhao Gou's five daughters, were all captured by Wang Shiyong and others and prepared to be given to Jinren.

Later, when the White Army entered the city, Xing Bingyi and others were sent to the palace together with other women from the Zhao and Song royal families and clans, and then lived in the palace until now.

Li Yan looked at Xing Bingyi, who was only first-class and not yet outstanding, and said in his heart: "Is this the most tragic queen in history?" ”

If Li Yan did not appear, not long after Xing Bingyi was escorted to the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Gou would have made Xing Bingyi the empress, and then Zhao Gou's middle palace would be vacant for Xing Bingyi for sixteen years.

It's a very sad story.

Although she is called a queen, Xing Bingyi has never been a queen for a day.

In this regard, Xing Bingyi is not even as good as Zhu Lian.

Anyway, Zhu Lian also became a real queen for a year.

And Xing Bingyi, in the more than ten years she was the queen, she was actually a handmaid and a prostitute in the distant and extremely poor northern country, and she was as good as a prostitute, and she was even inferior to a prostitute, because she had the name of a queen, and she was the main palace lady who hated the emperor the most.

Women are divided into everyone, regardless of the name, they still have physiology, and they are assigned to the following Mouke, ten people and nine prostitutes, and the name and festival are lost, and their lives are also dead.

This is the fate of a woman who was taken captive by the Jin people.

Li Yan moved his gaze to the side, and then saw a tall woman.

This woman is about thirty years old, according to the standards of later generations, she has to be 1.8 meters tall, which is about the same height as Hu Sanniang and Fang Baihua.

But—

In this era, women of this stature are often not liked by men.

The vast majority of men in this era like the kind of women who are small and delicate or bird-like.

It's a tall one, and the highest is about 1.7 meters.

No matter how tall it is, it is unacceptable to men in this era, after all, the average height of men nowadays is only 1.64 meters.

In short, the tall woman in front of her is not a beauty in this era, even if she looks a little similar to the star Meng Guangmei in later generations.

Without asking, Li Yan could guess that this tall woman should be Zhao Gou's mother, Concubine Wei Xian.

The reason why Li Yan has this guess is well-founded.

It is said that before Concubine Wei Xian entered the palace, she and her sister worked as maids in Prime Minister Su Song's house.

One day, the old prime minister came to be interested and wanted Concubine Wei Xian to serve as a gift to Duke Zhou.

Concubine Wei Xian was just a little maid at the bottom at that time, how could she not want to get this kind of good thing?

So, Concubine Wei Xian slept with the old prime minister under the half-push and half-push.

Which Cheng thought, just when the wind and clouds were about to meet, Concubine Wei Xian suddenly had a phenomenon of losing control of her lower body, "drowning all day long", and she was disappointed!

To put it bluntly, Concubine Wei Xian was too excited, too nervous, and too sensitive at the time, so that she sprayed before she started.

In the eyes of later generations, this is a very normal phenomenon, and it is nothing more than a blow.

But when the old prime minister saw it, he laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Good! Ok, good, good! What a tough girl! I've wronged you here, and I'll take you to Beijing tomorrow! ”

The old prime minister did what he said, and took Concubine Wei Xian to Beijing the next day.

It didn't take long for Zhezong to choose the palace maids and distribute them to the kings.

Wei was lucky to be shortlisted, entered the Duanwang Mansion as the first daughter, and became Zhao Ji's maid.

Although she entered the palace from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Concubine Wei Xian's identity at that time did not change much, and she was just a maid and a maid, nothing more.

Moreover, because she is too tall, Concubine Wei Xian's future is even less optimistic.

Later, by mistake, Concubine Wei Xian was assigned to serve Princess Zheng (later Empress Zheng), the favorite concubine of King Duan.

Together with Concubine Wei Xian, there was also a palace maid surnamed Qiao who went to serve the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Na Qiao's surname is a palace maid, born with a beautiful body, petite and exquisite, white and tender skin, and she is definitely a first-class beauty.

But—

Beauty also has bad luck, and it can also be said that beauty also has a dormant period.

Zhao Ji had the imperial brother and sister-in-law on it at that time, as well as a large number of people who could manage him, so he didn't dare to be too romantic.

Therefore, even if she is as beautiful as Qiao Palace Maid, she can only be a little palace maid who serves people honestly.

It was also at that time that Concubine Wei Xian and Concubine Qiao met each other, the two were about the same age, and their personalities were similar, so they chatted very well, so they talked about each other as sisters, and agreed that no matter who was rich and noble first, they should not forget to introduce another person.

There is also a saying that the palace is claustrophobic, everyone is a woman, and the only man can't be touched, Concubine Wei Xian and Concubine Qiao became a pseudo-couple like many palace maids, and Concubine Wei Xian became a fake maid because of her tall stature, that is, the "man" of the palace maid Qiao, and soon the two reached the point of being like glue.

It didn't take long for the palace maid Qiao to get a good opportunity - one day, the Empress Dowager Zheng came to the menstrual affair and couldn't sleep, so the palace maid Qiao was lucky enough to serve Zhao Ji for the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Since then, Qiao Gongnu has begun to soar.

The palace maid Qiao is very righteous.

After being developed, there is no hope for the former good sister Wei Xianfei.

Late one night, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and thunderstorms followed.

Zhao Ji was drunk and designated to sleep with Qiao's servant.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was drunk, Qiao's lost no time in ceremoniously recommending Concubine Wei Xian to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was drunk looking at the world at the time, and felt that Concubine Wei Xian also had a different flavor, not to mention the face of his beloved Qiao's family, so Concubine Wei Xian was fulfilled.

God did not abandon Concubine Wei Xian, and this unexpected favor made her pregnant with a son, that is, Zhao Gou.

Later, because she gave birth to Zhao Gou, Concubine Wei Xian finally gained a foothold in Zhao Ji's harem.

But—

A mistake is a mistake, and a dislike is a dislike.

This can't change because Concubine Wei Xian gave birth to a son to Zhao Ji.

This can be seen in two ways.

First, Concubine Wei Xian has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and it was not until Zhao Gou went to Jinying to die that she mixed up to the level of Wanrong, if Zhao Ji liked her, how could she be so miserable?

Second, Concubine Wei Xian gave birth to a son to Zhao Ji when she was a teenager, but she only gave birth to such a son to Zhao Ji in her life - it is not that Concubine Wei Xian could not give birth, legend has it that after Concubine Wei Xian was plundered by the Jin people to go to Beijing, she also gave birth to two sons to Wanyan Zongxian, the king of Gaitian (so, Zhao Gou also has a "Wanyan Gou". It can be seen that the problem is never with Concubine Wei Xian, but Zhao Ji has never touched Concubine Wei Xian since then.

It's a bit far.

There were two more women behind Xing Bingyi and Wei Xianfei.

These two women are also in their early twenties, both of them are in good shape, each holding a girl less than a year old in their arms, and three little girls of two or three years old are kneeling beside them.

Needless to say, this must be Zhao Gou's two side rooms, Tian Chunluo, Jiang Zuimei, and Zhao Gou's five daughters.

The three little girls kneeling on the ground, their little faces were already red from the cold, and they were even a little shivering.

After Li Yan walked over, he first picked up the eldest one, then put her on his neck, and asked her to hold her head, and then picked up the other two.

Seeing this, Concubine Wei Xian hurriedly said, "How dare you bother the official family to do what this woman should do?" ”

As she spoke, Concubine Wei Xian stretched out her hand and wanted to take over a little girl in Li Yan's arms.

Li Yan grabbed Concubine Wei Xian's hand and smiled at her at the same time.

Concubine Wei Xian was shocked by this change, and at the same time, her face turned red all of a sudden!

Concubine Wei Xian soon realized that this was inappropriate, and there were so many people watching on the side, so she wanted to withdraw her hand from Li Yan's hand.

But no matter how hard Concubine Wei Xian tried, she couldn't pull her hand out of Li Yan's hand in the slightest.

Just when Concubine Wei Xian wanted to accept her fate, Li Yan let go of Concubine Wei Xian's hand again, and then said while walking into the house: "What should a woman do, in me, not this, in me, there is only one reason, that is, Zhao Gou is not by your side, I have to take care of you for Zhao Gou, otherwise how can I be embarrassed to compete with Zhao Gou for this world?" ”
