Chapter 106: The Women of the Han Family
Qin Luofei just felt that it was inappropriate, after all, this was the place where the Empress Dowager lived, how could she trespass at will.
Concubine Shu walked to the palace on the west side and pushed open the door of the palace herself.
Qin Luofei sniffed a scent of fragrance, lingering, such a big aroma from here and there.
When the two entered the palace, they found that there was nothing in this room, only the portraits of many women on the walls.
"Is it Concubine?" In the west warm pavilion of the palace is dedicated to a bodhisattva with kind eyebrows, and the cushion in front of the bodhisattva is an old woman.
The woman was dressed in her usual clothes, dressed in a coarse cloth dress, with her hair simply tied up, and no jewelry inserted.
For a while, Qin Luofei didn't see that this ordinary woman turned out to be the Queen Mother.
"Concubine, see the Empress Dowager." Qin Luofei and Concubine Shu greeted each other.
"There is no Empress Dowager here, get up!" The Empress Dowager looked at the two of them with gentle eyes, and beckoned lovingly, "Come to the mourning family." ”
Qin Luofei raised his eyes and couldn't help but look at those portraits curiously.
These women are all dressed in palace clothes, and they seem to be concubines in the palace, but how could the empress dowager hang these portraits.
"These portraits are all women of the Han family." Seeing Qin Luofei's confused look, the Empress Dowager spoke.
A woman from the Han family?
Qin Luofei remembered that the Empress Dowager's maiden family was not Han.
It's a pity that since the beginning of the first king, the surname Han has withered, and now the highest position of the Han family in the court is just a royal history.
With the aging of the Empress Dowager, the Han family has declined, but it is the Empress Dowager's Du family that has gained a firm foothold in the court.
Today's Du Tingcheng is also a member of the Du family, but he is also the niece of the Empress Dowager, and Du Tingcheng's mother is the Empress Dowager's favorite princess.
"The women of the Han family are all beautiful, but unfortunately they did not live past the age of forty, the mourning family is considered to be a long time, the woman in front of you is the sister of the mourning family, but unfortunately, she has not even lived at the age of eighteen."
Following the empress dowager's gaze, Qin Luofei's gaze stared straight at the woman in front of him.
Sure enough, it is beautiful, and the face is full of cities and countries, and it looks like it is a little more colorful than the queen mother.
Wearing a brocade dress as thin as a cicada's wings, wearing a somewhat ethereal feeling, it is not like a woman in the world, and the bewitching Qin Luofei, who is a woman, is a little excited, but it is a pity that she has a thin face.
"The two next to me are sisters from my aunt's family, some entered the palace with me, and some entered the palace with my sister, but unfortunately one died in childbirth, and the other was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor."
The Empress Dowager slowly stood up, looked at the paintings on the wall, and fell into the memory of the past.
"The first king, born extremely beautiful, many women love it, even the mourning family is not spared." A strange color appeared on the Empress Dowager's face, and Qin Luofei was a little frightened when she saw it, and she had a feeling that she wanted to escape from this palace.
"There are a total of twenty-eight women of the Han family here, and they are also beautiful women of the Han family in the past dynasties, all of whom have entered the palace as concubines and gone through two dynasties."
Qin Luofei knew that when the previous dynasty had not been overthrown, most of the women of the Han family were candidates for the queen, and this glory was even left to this dynasty when the previous dynasty was the king.
"She is the first generation of women of the Han family, and she laid down the country together with the emperor of the first dynasty, and the emperor of the first dynasty promised that the queen will definitely come from the Han family in the future."
The Empress Dowager pointed to a woman in the portrait.
Qin Luofei raised his eyes and saw that the woman's face was dazzling, especially a pair of eyes that were like spring water. It is said that she is not only strong in martial arts, but also ruthless in her methods, and she did everything to destroy all the women in the palace who wanted to get close to the emperor.
It's a pity that such a beautiful and talented woman finally died in the hands of her own sister, her sister took advantage of her pregnancy, united with other concubines, took away the emperor, and cruelly poisoned the fetus in her womb.
In the end, her sister did not escape the fate of the women in the palace, she was old and decrepit, and was framed by the emperor's favored beauty, the emperor was furious, and sent her into the cold palace, and she died of grief.
But after her son ascended the throne, he rehabilitated her, killed other concubines, and still married a woman from the Han family.
The women of the Han family are not soft-hearted.
In her previous life, she read the popular biography of the Han family woman, and once felt that there could be such a vicious woman in the world, but in this life, she felt that this was probably the fate of the woman in the palace.
It is said that half of the women of the Han family died at the hands of their sisters, and there are countless women who died tragically in the mansion without entering the palace.
The queens of the previous dynasty were basically from the Han family, and they gradually broke down in the present dynasty.
On the left, the woman on the second portrait, Qin Luofei has seen in the book, can be described as a fierce woman. Jiaojiao and softly lived silently in the Han Mansion for fifteen years, escaped the assassination of other sisters, and after entering the palace, he eradicated all the Han family women step by step, sat on the throne of the queen, and bewitched the two generations of emperors with beautiful scenery, enjoying all the glory and wealth. It can be said that the means are ruthless, the temperament is forbearing, and they can bear the pain that ordinary people can't bear, and patience is rare among the women of the Han family.
Qin Luofei's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, there were women from the Han family who entered the palace in all dynasties, but there were no women born in the Han family in this generation, and there were no concubines in the palace.
The women of the Han family can be described as powerful, still above Leng Guifei and Du Chengcheng.
This is also the place where the emperors of the past dynasties hated the women of the Han family, but each emperor of the previous dynasty was the woman of the Han family, and they had to rely on the Han family everywhere. Dead lips and cold teeth, hatred for each other, and mutual dependence, this is the fate of the emperors of the previous dynasty and the Han family.
"Sister, what do you take so seriously?" Concubine Shu looked at Qin Luofei's portrait on the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Qin Luofei turned his head and said with a smile: "It is said that the women of the Han family are as beautiful as immortals, and they are really good. ”
"This is the niece of the mourning family, Concubine Tao, the last woman of the Han family." The Empress Dowager looked at the woman in the portrait in front of her with gloomy eyes.
Qin Luofei raised his head, the woman in this painting was very gorgeous, and she looked like she was above the concubine, she was really a rare beauty, even among the many women of the Han family in this room, they were all the best among them.
The woman in the painting is dressed in white gold and silver armor, looking ahead, there is a pride on her charming face, and the corners of her lips are thin and slightly curled, like the Queen Mother and ...... The corners of the lady's lips.
Qin Luofei's heart was dark, and the corners of her thin and slightly curled lips seemed to be unique to the women of the Han family.
It is said that Concubine Tao is the emperor's favorite woman, and she almost took the position of queen mother today.
In addition, she is a woman of the Han family, with the protection of the empress dowager, she shot everywhere in the palace, brutalized the palace concubines, and used ruthless methods, but the emperor loved her appearance and ignored her.
The Du family already had a certain foundation in the court at that time, which was enough to fight against the Han family, which was also the reason why the ancestors pointed out to marry the Du family.
Today's queen mother is not a vegetarian, and she has the mother of the queen of the queen, Concubine Ming.
Concubine Ming, who didn't know where it was, suddenly appeared in the palace.
It is said that her beauty is like that of the prince of the night, and she captivated the country and the city, so that the emperor fell in love at first sight, and from then on, the emperor only favored Concubine Ming, and did not even look at other concubines.
Concubine Ming was forced to get involved with the Queen Mother in the camp against Concubine Tao, Concubine Tao had fallen out of favor and was soon hated by the emperor, regardless of the Empress Dowager's dissuasion, she entered the cold palace, and Concubine Tao soon died.
This is also the biggest palace incident in the previous dynasty, and now it makes the palace concubines frightened.
It is said that the blood flowed like a river that day, which also exacerbated the emperor's dislike for the Han family's women.
The Han family was forced to withdraw from the court, the Du family was dominant, and the empress dowager left the palace to live.
"Concubine Peach, it's really beautiful." Qin Luofei raised his eyes and stared at the portrait, and the corners of his lips were slightly warm.
The Empress Dowager looked at the portrait with a sad expression, and said slowly: "Tao'er's appearance is the best among the women of the Han family, but it's a pity that she met Concubine Ming." ”
"The Empress Dowager, it's sad to look at the portrait, it's better to sit down and have a drink." Concubine Shu supported the Empress Dowager on the arhat couch in the inner room, poured tea with her own hands, and also brought a cup to Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei glanced at Concubine Shu secretly, and there was a coldness in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.
In her opinion, the women of the Han family are the victims of the Han family, so many women are just to maintain the glory and wealth of the Han family, and the men of the Han family are not men.
It is just a pathetic coward to exchange a woman for the world.
The Empress Dowager is still a little sad.
I heard that the Han family only has one room now, and that room only gave birth to a son, not even a daughter.
According to legend, the Han family was too guilty and could no longer give birth to a daughter.
Qin Luofei picked up the teacup and took a sip before putting it down.
Concubine Shu shook Qin Luofei's fingers beside her, feeling cold and piercing, and asked with concern, "Why are my sister's hands so cold?" ”
"I just looked at the portrait, thinking of the battle in the palace, and felt that the women in the palace were like duckweed, and I didn't know when I would lose the emperor's heart and fall into hell." Qin Luofei withdrew his hand without leaving a trace and said with a faint smile.
The Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu are not fools, and it is better to be an honest person in the face of smart people.
"Sister, smart and lovely, the emperor will like his sister." The corners of the concubine's lips are upturned, and her every move is charming and moving.
Qin Luofei's eyes secretly looked at the woman of the Han family on the portrait, and her eyes glanced at Concubine Shu lightly, and only smiled: "Then thank you sister Jiyan." ”
Concubine Shu took Qin Luofei's hand and did it beside the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager lost her usual majesty, and kept chatting with them about things in the former palace.
In any dynasty and generation, the women of the harem have not stopped.
Qin Luofei tugged on her skirt, pondered slightly, and listened carefully to every word of the Empress Dowager.
Seeing Qin Luofei's demeanor, the corners of Concubine Shu's lips overflowed with a trace of coldness, but she quickly relented.
The Empress Dowager is also old, and after doing it for a while, she is not in good spirits.
"Sister, let's go back! Let the Empress Dowager rest. Qin Luofei saw that the Empress Dowager showed a tired look and said to Concubine Shu.
