The honor and disgrace of harem women is not in their family background, let alone in their talent and appearance, but only in the thought of the Son of Heaven.

This thought can teach you to live and die, and you can read and fall, give you glory and glory, and throw you away dust, such as mud on the soles of your feet.

If you compare it carefully, the poverty, ups and downs, and ups and downs of the harem woman's life are not much better than the stories in the history books. In the book, people rely on the mandate of heaven, and the women in the palace rely on the thought of the Son of Heaven.

Concubine Wu, who was disgusted by the first emperor, fell from the top of the six palaces to the mud that no one cared about.

However, even in such a time, Concubine Wu never had any resentment against Emperor Yuan Jia, who was still a little prince, and took out her whole heart to take care of him, day and night, with all her might, and painstakingly exhausted.

In the end, this beautiful concubine was even embarrassed to the point of being hungry and full, and she couldn't even eat enough, but she still tried her best to give the little prince everything he could. had no money to buy supplements, so she sold the treasures brought by her mother's family; There was no reason to find a doctor, so she did not hesitate to taste the herbs and try the medicine herself.

In her obsession with almost giving up her life, the strange poison on the little prince's body was really solved little by little, and she was raised by Concubine Wu to be exceptionally healthy and strong, even better than before.

Then, Empress Dowager Xiao appeared.

At that time, she was the queen of the main palace, and it was really easy to take away a little prince from a concubine who had fallen out of favor, and she didn't even have to find a reason, just need to nod her head from the emperor.

In the harem where there is never a shortage of beauties, the first emperor has long been fascinated by the fresh and young beauties, where do you remember the concubine Wu who was once stunning in the six palaces? Moreover, his heirs are extremely rich, and the mother of Emperor Yuan Jia is extremely cold, the first emperor has never taken this son to heart, and the Empress Dowager Xiao said that he should even go down.

So, the Empress Dowager adopted Emperor Yuanjia under her knees, and then quickly lost it to other concubines. As for Concubine Wu, she fought hard to leave a Ming Jun for Da Chu, but in the end she only fell down and almost died of poverty.

This period of public case is truly legendary, and its ups and downs, love and hatred, and the conspiracy and intrigue contained in it are unstoppable

And according to common sense, when the Empress Dowager Xiao was still alive and was still the most noble woman in this dynasty, such an unorthodox "gossip" should be buried in the dense deep palace forever.

But on the contrary, it is this past incident that several parties "don't want to say and don't want to say", but after decades of dust, they suddenly reappeared.

Emperor Yuan Jia was suddenly shocked to hear that it was impossible for him to be untouched, so he ordered someone to investigate thoroughly. turned out to find out a terrifying news:

The reason why he was poisoned back then was that it was very directly related to the battle for favor between Xiao and Wu. And the poisoner finally pointed at Changle Palace!

Changle Palace is the palace where Empress Dowager Xiao has lived since she was the queen.

If this is true, then the mastermind behind the strange poison in Emperor Yuan Jia's body back then will be clear without asking.

As soon as this rumor came out, it made people's jaws drop.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that this matter is by no means groundless.

The dispute between Xiao and Wu can be called tragic, for a period of time, there were dead people in the palace on both sides, and there were more than a dozen people who filled the wells alone. If it is said that Empress Dowager Xiao used a poisonous scheme to frame Concubine Wu, intending to let the other party bear the name of killing the prince, it is very likely.

Looking at it from another angle, with Concubine Wu's limelight at that time, she had the ability, means, and motives to calculate her head, except for Empress Dowager Xiao, she would not think secondly.

Such a great secret, once it flowed out, immediately made the previous big dramas transparent.

Who would have thought that the heavenly family, which seems to be a mother and a son, also has such an unbearable past?

It is true that as the king of a country, Emperor Yuan Jia must not let this rumor fly everywhere, which is too detrimental to the dignity of the heavenly family, so he issued an order to seal his mouth.

But rumor has it that the more you press, the more it will be stronger.

Just like the twelve-character rumor of "Jun is not filial" a few months ago, this more story-telling and mysterious rumor soon became like wildfire and could not be stopped.

At first, it was still limited to the nobility circle and quietly spread, and then it was passed on to Li Shu, and then later, the peddlers, pawns, the three religions and the nine streams, and even the beggars who asked for food, were also known.

Compared with the twelve-character rumors, this matter is obviously more in line with the taste of the people of Shengjing, although no one in the market dares to talk about it openly, but behind closed doors, who can manage people's homes?

In the midst of all these disturbances, at the end of January, the east wind passed through the wilderness, and the spring thunder sounded, which was the season of stinging.

In the Shengjing City in February, the grass warbler flies outside the city, the smoke willow paints the bridge, the peach blossoms on the shore reflect the glow, the spring water is full of clear waves, the white feathered water birds, fly in the vast water, occasionally a clear chirp, scattered into the blue sky.

And in the city, it is the apricot blossoms full of heads, the romance of the young man going to the song building, the street clothes are full of fragrant sideburns, red clothes and green covers, prosperous and charming.

The repair work of Changle Palace was finally completed in this season when the sky was full of flying and gossamer ties.

When the palace is completed, it is necessary to take the Empress Dowager Xiao back to live in order to show the harmony of the heavenly family, especially when the dark tide is surging.

Emperor Yuan Jia did exactly that.

It's just that, while doing it, there was an extra episode.

On the same day, at the same time, and at the same moment when Empress Dowager Xiao moved back to Changle Palace, Concubine Wu also lived in Changle Palace.

And it was only then that everyone realized that the renovated Changle Palace could no longer be regarded as Changle Palace.

It was split in half.

Evenly, without the slightest deviation, it is divided into two palaces with two towering vermilion palace walls and a narrow and deep white stone sandwich road.

Since then, in the imperial city of Great Chu, there is no longer the name of Changle Palace, but there are two new palaces: one Changxi and one Yongle.

Concubine Wu lives in Changxi Palace; And Empress Dowager Xiao lives in Yongle Palace.

Among them, Yongle Palace is located in the east. According to the customs of Great Chu, the east is in the front and the west is in the back, and Concubine Wu, who lives in the palace of the west chief, has been slightly pressed away.

However, if you think about it, although Changxi Palace is located in the west, it splits the first word of the word "Changle"; On the contrary, although Yongle Palace is located in the east, it is in the back of the word "Changle".

Isn't this exactly what the folk call "big at both ends"?

What's even more intriguing is that the etiquette regulations of Concubine Wu when she moved into the Changxi Palace are almost the same as those of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and even the feathers on the golden phoenix tail embroidered on the canopy are the same ninety-nine eighty-one.

In this situation, don't say that those smart people and people with a heart are Chen Ying, who doesn't know anything about politics, and he also smells out the meaning of "the queen mother of the two palaces".

Xiao and Wu have obviously been placed in the same position by Emperor Yuan Jia.
