Modern people can not appreciate the bitterness and suffering of ancient women, even the emperor's women, but also to live a precarious and fearful life, which is related to the feudal society of male superiority and female inferiority system, women are only male appendages, can also be seen as the general existence of property, women have no autonomy, a lifetime of honor and disgrace are in the hands of men. In ancient times, there were also three women who swore after the alliance that they were blessed and enjoyed the same hardships, but only one of them kept his promise, and the other two ended up with treachery.
The protagonist of this story is Bo Ji, and the two women who married her to Jinlan are Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er, in fact, according to the status at that time, Bo Ji was much higher than the other two, Bo Ji was after the Wei royal family, and There were Xiangshi who calculated that Bo Ji had a good life to give birth to a son of heaven. Bo Ji did not look down on others by virtue of these, and after entering the palace of the King of Wei, she had a good relationship with Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er, who were also concubines of the King of Wei, so the three of them married Jinlan and swore to be blessed and enjoy the same difficulties. Combined with the later historical ending, it may be that these two women were only because bo ji's birth was good, and they also believed that she had the opportunity to give birth to the son of heaven, so they would intentionally get close to her.
Later, after the State of Wei was destroyed by Liu Bang, not only did the situation change, but also Bo Ji experienced the coldness of the world. At that time, Bo Ji, Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er were brought into the palace by Liu Bang as concubines of the fallen country, and became Liu Bang's women from then on. However, Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er were more favored, they were also named beauties, Bo Ji was only assigned to be a weaver girl at first, and later because Bo Ji was too conspicuous among the weavers, she was valued by Liu Bang and put her in the harem, but she was not favored.
Seeing such a depressed Bo Ji, Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er, instead of recommending the good sisters of the past to Liu Bang, instead stomped on Bo Ji's feet, taunted her everywhere, and made fun of Bo Ji as a joke about Bo Ji's original statement that bo ji could give birth to a son of heaven. Bo Ji has been stoic, and later these ridiculous words were known by Liu Bang, and Liu Bang favored Bo Ji for a moment of compassion, and later Bo Ji became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Heng.
On the other hand, Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er, although they were favored after becoming Liu Bang's beauties, they had never had children, and Bo Ji, who had been ridiculed by them, ate sugar cane and became the emperor's mother, and what Xiang Shi said at the beginning was also fulfilled one by one, Bo Ji was the fate of the rich and noble, and the blessed people would eventually be treated kindly, while the other two ended up sloppy because they did not keep their promises.
