Chapter 474: Aware 2

She is a tragic character in history.

Elder Guangxu, ugly appearance, even if he is gentle and kind, and has a kind temperament, he is still not loved by Emperor Guangxu.

Man, and an emperor, always judge people by their appearance, his favorite is to enter the palace at the age of thirteen, first as a concubine, and then as a concubine Concubine Zhen, lively and beautiful, proficient in Western studies.

Doesn't Empress Longyu have any merit?

No, she has.

As the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she was born noble, and she did a good job of receiving people and things, and it was even more impossible not to read and write.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a beautiful look.

Concubine Zhen is more favored than her sister Concubine Jin, also because Concubine Jin is not as beautiful as her, and she is not as talented and cheerful as her.

Of course, another important reason why Emperor Guangxu didn't like Empress Longyu was that she was the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, not the empress that Emperor Guangxu himself was willing to marry.

In later generations, many wild histories and TV series, etc., have portrayed her as a negative character, jealous of Concubine Zhen, spying on Guangxu, opposing the change, being dense with Cixi, short-sighted, etc., to highlight the love of Emperor Guangxu and Concubine Zhen and the courage to support the change, in fact, the real history is completely different from this statement.

Concubine Zhen is very favored by Emperor Guangxu, she is beautiful and intelligent, and she is often able to accompany Emperor Guangxu, so she naturally knows him very well.

Because he understood, then was considerate of him, cared for him, supported him to change the law, supported him to compete with Cixi, and was finally drowned in a deep well by Cixi, so in the minds of the world, Concubine Zhen is a positive image who understands righteousness.

In fact, she is not a white lotus that comes out of the mud without staining.

She entered and exited the palace of Emperor Guangxu's heart, as if she had entered a no-man's land.

She has opened a photo studio, sat in an eight-seater sedan chair, dressed as a man, worn a dragon robe, and wore a pearl shirt.

The pearl shirt Emperor Guangxu ordered people to make a shawl made of a thousand pearls, which was very luxurious and beautiful, and finally Cixi knew about it, and Concubine Zhen dismantled the pearl shirt and returned the pearls.

Emperor Guangxu's favor for her, and the pursuit of her below, made her forgetful, because she liked luxury herself, and the concubine's share was not enough to spend, so she started to buy and sell officials.

She had a grudge with Cixi because of these, and Emperor Guangxu snubbed Empress Longyu for her, so she was killed by Cixi.

Compared with the Empress Dowager Cixi, who lost her power and humiliated the country, Concubine Zhen's bad deeds are really too few and too innocent.

But compared with Queen Longyu, it is Queen Longyu who is innocent, at least there are many things that Concubine Zhen has done, and Queen Longyu has not done.

The style of this pair of jade bracelets is very ordinary, subtle and introverted, which is very in line with the temperament of Queen Longyu.

Quan Shengnan played with the jade bracelet, felt the touch like condensed fat in the palm of his hand, recalled the origin of the jade bracelet she saw from the eye of heaven, and then thought of the tragedy of Empress Longyu's life, she sighed silently.

Sure enough, many antiques have their stories.

Handing the jade bracelet to the bodyguard, Kwon Seung-nan paced to the porcelain and looked at it carefully.

There is a lot of porcelain in Tom's tent, which occupies half of the country, colorful and dazzling, and the quality is very high, and a large part of it is antique, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between ancient and modern.

Foreigners really prefer silk, porcelain, and tea.

It is not an easy task to choose whether there is ancient porcelain among so many porcelains.

Quan Shengnan wanted to continue to visit the antique market, but he was impatient to observe one by one, let go of the pupils, and immediately pointed to a white porcelain bottle in a remote corner and said to Tom, who sent off the guests and then came over: "Tom, please show me that bottle." ”
