Among the many palaces in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this palace was originally inconspicuous, and it can be as famous as it is now because of the Mingde Empress Ma of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ma is the youngest daughter of Fubo general Ma Yuan, who entered the imperial palace at the age of thirteen and was favored by Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, who was still the crown prince. The Ma family served the queen Yin Lihua with great care, and was praised by the palace people for her virtuous and virtuous virtues, but she was not allowed to correct because she did not have a son.
In the spring of the third year of Yongping, there was finally a minister who couldn't stand it anymore, and after the emperor was established, although the minister did not explicitly remind the emperor who to set up, he only said on the chapter that he would please set up the Changqiu Palace, but who was secretly referred to, how could a clear-eyed person not see it.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was silent, he couldn't make up his mind. The Empress Dowager Yin Lihua was very happy and helped the emperor directly set up Ma as the queen. So after that, the Changqiu Palace became a symbol of the queen, and entering the Changqiu Palace also became the expectation of the concubines of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When the time came to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the virtue of the Empress He was really incomparable to that of the owner of this palace back then.
Queen He's jealousy and ruthlessness are well-known in the harem, and there is no concubine and palace maid who is not afraid of her.
Emperor Ling had several princes, but all of them died early, and now only Liu Wei and Liu Xie remain. There have long been rumors among the people that this is because Empress He was afraid that someone would compete with her son Liu Wei for the throne, so she was cruel to other pregnant concubines and palace maids, which made Emperor Ling's heirs very difficult. Therefore, many people actually regard her as a woman like Lu Pheasant in the early Han Dynasty.
"Ahh Don't come, don't come! Queen He, who was sleeping, suddenly screamed in her sleep, raised her hand and pushed forward indiscriminately, as if she was rejecting someone's approach.
"Queen, Queen. Wake up! The palace maid who was waiting beside her was napping, and she was so frightened that she fell asleep, and hurriedly came up and grabbed Queen He's hand, trying to wake her up from her nightmare.
Queen He woke up suddenly in the cry of the palace maid, and sat up slowly under the waiting of the palace maid, a cool breeze blew, and her body was faintly cold, only to realize that she was covered with fragrant sweat, and the silk obscene clothes were close to the back and were already wet with cold sweat, which was very uncomfortable. Empress He unconsciously hugged her body tightly, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and help the palace get clothes to change." ”
The palace maid didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought clothes for Queen He to change, everything was sorted out, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of her.
Queen He's appearance is very delicate, her figure is uneven, quite hot, and her complexion is also unusually fair. Her eyes are a little narrow, the head of the eye is slightly low and slightly hooked, and the tail of the eye is upturned, this is a typical fox eye, looking at everyone is full of charm, which is also the only thing on her face that is criticized, because as the queen of the world, this is really not dignified enough. And from the perspective of physiognomy, women born with such a face are generally extremely jealous and suspicious.
The royal selection of women to enter the palace, the requirements for physiognomy are very strict, and such physiognomy is not allowed to be filled into the harem, so as not to charm the lord. Moreover, He's status is low, and his family is a butcher, so the chances are even slimmer. However, the official responsible for the election of women in the world was the eunuch party, and He Zhen, the father of the He family, bribed Guo Sheng, the chief official of the women's election at that time, with a lot of money in order to let his daughter enter the palace, and the He family was finally able to enter the palace smoothly.
After entering the palace, the charm and market atmosphere on He's body were mavericks among the women, and soon attracted the attention of Emperor Ling, who was so dizzy by those fox eyes that he lost his way in an instant.
Since then, the He family has been deeply favored by Emperor Ling, and after a night of love, he was directly named a nobleman, and then successfully gave birth to the prince Liu Wei. At that time, the Empress Song had been beaten into the cold palace by Emperor Ling, so the queen position was vacant, and He's mother successfully inherited the queen's throne with her son, and became the most noble woman in the entire harem.

"If it weren't for Wang Rong's slut, how could the relationship between this palace and His Majesty come to this point, and now even if you die, will you still be entangled with this palace?"
Queen He pressed the faintly aching forehead and felt a resentment in her heart, and the scene in the nightmare just now was vivid, which made her still feel palpitations.
Empress He frowned slightly and asked slowly, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to the queen, it's not time now."
"I didn't expect this palace to sleep for more than an hour."
Empress He was muttering, but a eunuch walked quickly outside the door, this is the queen's henchman eunuch, named Pan Yin.
Pan Yin's arrival made Queen He instantly come to the spirits. She hurriedly straightened up, looked at Pan Yin and asked, "Can the matter be investigated clearly?" What's the origin of that slut? ”
Pan Yin replied respectfully: "The slave has been roughly investigated!" The woman that the emperor brought into the palace the day before yesterday is said to be a distant cousin of the Hou Niang's family in Hefei. I don't know what the specific name is, as soon as I entered the palace, I was named a beauty by His Majesty, and now I live in the Hehuan Palace, ordinary people are not allowed to approach at will, even the palace maid and eunuch are arranged by Gonggong Zhang personally, the emperor is so careful, the slave and maid really can't imagine what kind of woman can be so loved by His Majesty. ”
"Good! As the lord of these six palaces, His Majesty added a beauty in the harem, and now he doesn't even bother to inform the palace, where is this going to the palace? ”
Queen He's words were almost word by word biting her tongue, she bit her lips tightly, her foxy eyes were full of resentment, and the news that Pan Yin reported back was really a little irritating to her.
Since the day Wang Rong was poisoned by her, the Spirit Emperor, who had seen her ruthless side, had become increasingly estranged from her, and no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer save the heart of the Spirit Emperor, the former love was not there, and the Spirit Emperor would not even step into her Changqiu Palace.
Queen He never understood why, in terms of beauty, He's conceit did not lose to anyone in the harem, and she was even more of the best in the harem in terms of style.
What's going on with all this, why is it the way it is now, aren't men all chasing beauty? Empress He thought of the amazing look of Emperor Ling when she saw her for the first time, and thought of the years of love with Emperor Ling, but in a blink of an eye, all this was shattered, but the tragic fate of Empress Song came to mind, and that woman could not get the sympathy of Emperor Ling until she died, and she could not even get a place to be buried.
Thinking of this, Queen He's heart suddenly cooled down, her current situation is so similar to that of Queen Song back then, and the slut who was suddenly brought into the palace by Emperor Ling is more like herself back then, will she also step into the back road of Queen Song back then, and end up in such a bleak end?
The more Empress He thought about it, the more frightened she became, and suddenly she felt that this deep palace seemed to have become a huge prison in an instant, and she was the prisoner who was about to be dragged to the execution ground, and her fate seemed to be completely out of her hands.
"Queen! Empress! Pan Yin's repeated calls brought Empress He out of deep thought, and he saw the horror and hesitation in Empress He's eyes, so he said again: "Empress, do you want to inform the general to come to the palace, at this time the palace is unreliable, we need to discuss with the general how to go next, otherwise we will really want to let the mermaid meat." ”
Empress He, who had no master of the six gods, suddenly heard Pan Yin's suggestion, and surprise flashed in her eyes. That's right! There is also the general, and the brother who is so jealous that even the ten permanent servants are very jealous, Queen He instantly had hope in her heart, she couldn't help but be happy on her face, and hurriedly instructed Pan Yin: "Pan Yin, what you said is right, quickly go and help the palace invite the general into the palace to talk about it." ”
