Dong Qiu and historical archetypes in "Qing Ping Le": Favored by saving Song Renzong, who committed suicide, died of illness after giving birth to three daughters
In the latest plot of "Qing Ping Le", Zhang Guifei was finally disliked by Zhao Zhen, but this does not mean that she fell out of favor, she is still favored. She really fell out of favor after the private minister was discovered by Zhao Zhen, and she completely lost her favor. However, Zhao Zhen was also true love to her, and after Zhang Guifei fell out of favor and died of illness, Zhao Zhen also posthumously named her "Empress Wencheng". This move did not warm the heart at all in the eyes of the world, but chilled for Empress Cao. The lord of the harem was obviously still there, and Zhao Zhen actually posthumously named a favored concubine as empress, which was really excessive!
According to Zhao Zhen's personality of seeing a love one, after Zhang Guifei died of illness, he soon had a new love. This new huan has now appeared, that is, Empress Cao's confidante and maid Dong Qiuhe. Dong Qiuhe is a female official who specializes in makeup and hair, and is skillful and understanding.
For Zhao Zhen, Zhang Guifei is his beloved, but she is too noisy. And Dong Qiuhe gave him a calm, comfortable feeling. He liked Dong Qiuhe, but he did not take a shot at her for a while. Moreover, Dong Qiuhe did not have the heart to be a concubine. Dong Qiuhe was arranged by Zhang Mao to be by the empress's side, just for the empress's good. She was in the palace to help the empress, to help her keep her throne, and to help her reconcile with Zhao Zhen and his wife.
But in the original work, Dong Qiuhe's ending still became Zhao Zhen's concubine. Dong Qiuhe was originally outside the palace with a lover waiting for her to leave the palace, this person is the painter Cui Bai, she could have left the palace with Cui Bai. However, she stayed in the palace for Empress Cao, and eventually became Zhao Zhen's favorite concubine.
The drama "Qing Ping Le" is very close to history, so which concubine is Dong Qiuhe of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen? Who is her historical archetype?
According to the time of appearance of the character and the surname, the historical prototype of Dong Qiuhe should be Dong Shufei, the favorite concubine of the late Song Renzong.
There are few historical records of Dong Shufei, who was the maid of Song Renzong before she became a concubine. In the early years of Jiayou, Empress Wencheng (Zhang Guifei) and others died. Song Renzong ruled for many years, but there was no prince, and he felt that he was very troubled by the fact that he had no queen. To this end, he also tried to end his life.
At that time, Dong Shi was serving Song Renzong, and when Song Renzong was about to kill himself, he was just seen by Dong Shi, so he immediately rushed over and took the saber in Song Renzong's hand with his bare hands. Dong Shi was also injured as a result, and his fingers were almost cut. After she saved Song Renzong, Song Renzong attached great importance to him.
Soon after, Dong was given the title of "Wenxi County Jun" by Emperor Renzong of Song. Four years later, Dong gave birth to his first daughter, Princess Chen Guo (Zhuang Jian DachangDi Ji), for Emperor Renzong of Song, and Dong was given the title of Talented Man by Jin. A year later, Dong Shi was promoted from a talented person to a beauty, and Dong's father also got an official job because of his daughter's relationship.
Later, dong gave birth to Princess Gongguo (Yi Gongmu Emperor Ji) and Princess Yuguo (Zhuang Yu Dachang Emperor Ji) for Emperor Renzong of Song. Princess Yuguo was the youngest daughter of Emperor Renzong of Song, but unfortunately this daughter died two months after birth.
After dong's youngest daughter died of illness, she was also depressed and became critically ill a year later. Song Renzong immediately named her Chong Yuan, but it did not take long for Dong Shiju to pass away. Emperor Renzong of Song posthumously honored her as Concubine Dong Shufei, and it was not until the reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song that he posthumously honored Princess Dong Shufei as a noble concubine.
