In the imperial palaces of ancient China, there were countless empress concubines, some of whom were as beautiful as flowers, some ugly, some high-powered, and some from poor families. However, there was only one concubine with black blood—Li Lingrong, the concubine of Sima Yu, the Emperor of Jianwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Everything began with Li Lingrong being sold into the palace as a slave. The emperor had no heirs, and Xiang Shi said: Find a black maid to try, this girl and two boys, but also prosperous royal family
This was Sima Yu, emperor of The Jin Dynasty, and this dark and ugly woman was the imperial concubine Li Lingrong. Li Lingrong was originally a Kunlun slave in Sima Yu's palace when he was the prince. The Book of Tang records: "South of Lin Yi, all of them have curly hair and black bodies, and their common name is Kunlun." "South of Linyi is India and Africa further south in the ancient history of our country, and Kunlun Nu is likely to be a black slave of African descent."
A year later, Xu Guiren never showed any signs of pregnancy. Soon, Sima Yu asked the Taoist priest Xu Mai to take the account, and Xu Mai asked him to continue to "work hard" "from the humble words", but "for several years without children", Sima Yu finally could not hold his breath. In the fifth year of Shengping (361), the forty-two-year-old Sima Yuyu invited a gentleman to see who could have a son, so that he could lock on to the target and be targeted. Xiang Shi looked at the concubines in the palace, but he shook his head repeatedly. In desperation, Sima Yu had no choice but to expand the scope and simply shouted out all the palace women and slaves in the palace, and when xiangshi saw Li Lingrong, he was surprised and said, "This person is also", it is her.
And Sima Yu didn't care so much, he also fought for the sake of passing on the generations. And this master didn't know if he really had the standard, or whether he was crooked. Not long after, Li Lingrong was really pregnant, and this fetus was not ordinary, because she dreamed of "two dragons pillowing knees, the sun and the moon into the arms", which is an auspicious omen. In the following years, Li Lingrong gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Sima Yu. This made Sima Yu happy, and he directly ignored her appearance and was favored by Sima Yu.
An ugly woman Li Lingrong, because of her ugly appearance, could not compete with others for favors, but because of a sentence from Xiangshi, she soared and became the princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and because of the reason of giving birth to a son, she was never abandoned by her husband in the complex and changeable harem, and later because her son was the emperor, she actually became the mother of the harem. The second half of her life also got better and better. This situation is also rare among the concubines.
