For ancient women, the most important thing in life was to marry. Marrying the right person for a lifetime is happy, and marrying the wrong person for a lifetime is ruined. Ancient women who marry the wrong person generally choose to swallow their anger and end themselves, because at that time, a woman could only marry one person in her life.
In "The Legend of Ruyi", there is such a scene, after the palace maid Lian Xin, who was beside the empress, married a eunuch, she encountered inhuman treatment and screamed in the middle of the night. For such a life, Lotus Heart was naturally ten thousand unwilling, hoping that the empress would be able to bring herself back.
However, the empress did not understand the pain of Lian Xin marrying a eunuch and refused. Desperate, Lotus Chose to Jump into the River to end his miserable life. So why would Lian Xin rather die than live with a eunuch? Mainly because of the inhuman treatment she suffered.
1. Empress Fucha curry favor with the eunuchs
In "The Tale of Ruyi", Lian Xin is a beautiful and kind palace girl, and she is also a palace girl close to Empress Fucha. For Lian Xin, she was willing to do anything for Empress Fucha, even at the expense of herself.
However, Lian Xin is not a person who covets enjoyment, she only hopes to serve the queen well and live a life of plainness.
Therefore, whenever a palace maid asked the empress to give them permission to marry out of the palace, Lotus Heart was not moved. In Lotus Heart's view, everything is fateful, and now it is enough to take good care of Empress Fucha.
However, what she did not expect was that she was devoted to Empress Fucha, but Empress Fucha sacrificed Lotus Heart's life for selfish interests.
At one stage, the emperor had certain doubts about Empress Fucha and was very cold to the empress. Empress Fucha also knew that the emperor was suspicious of her, but she did not understand what it was.
When Empress Fucha's mother came to visit her in the palace, Empress Fucha confided her recent troubles and asked her mother for help.
At this time, Lady Fucha said to the empress: Marry the palace maid next to you to Wang Qin, the chief eunuch of the emperor's side, so that Wang Qin can help himself to inquire into the emperor's mind at any time.
Empress Fucha had some concerns, after all, eunuchs were not real men, and palace women were also widows when they married.
But considering his own interests, he decided to do so.
At this time, the chief eunuch around the emperor said that he liked Lotus Heart, and said: If you marry Lotus Heart to yourself, you will definitely serve the empress.
Empress Fucha agreed, asking the emperor for permission, ostensibly to find a close friend for the palace maid.
When the emperor knew about it, he felt that the empress was very considerate and knew how to think about her subordinates, so he agreed. When Lian Xin learned of this, she was naturally reluctant to do so, but she was loyal to Empress Fucha and finally agreed.
Second, after Lian Xin married a eunuch, he made a strange cry in the middle of the night
Lian Xin understood that this little palace girl of hers was worthy of the interests of the empress. In this way, Lian Xin married Wang Qin with pain, and her pain also came at the moment of the cave.
At night, when the night enveloped the entire palace, the scream of the lotus heart broke through the entire sky.
After Ru Yi, who lived nearby, heard this, she probably guessed a few points in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel the heart of the lotus. However, there were still more people watching the fire from the other side of the palace, and there were not many good people like Ruyi.
By the next day, some people were discussing the strange noise of the night, and some people were laughing at the lotus heart and marrying the eunuch. On the surface, they congratulated Lian Xin on marrying Wang Qin, a high-ranking eunuch, but secretly they were laughing at her.
When Ruyi and other concubines asked the empress for peace, Lian Xin stood beside the empress with a haggard face, as if her soul had been emptied.
Ruyi couldn't bear to see such a lotus heart, and she never dared to look at the lotus heart more. When the concubine finished asking the empress for safety, Ruyi left the queen's palace with her personal palace maid Ah Zhen and accidentally left her handkerchief.
After Lian Xin saw it, he quickly picked up the handkerchief and caught up with Ruyi. Ruyi is grateful to Lian Xin for helping her with the handkerchief, and at the same time intimately reminds Lian Xin to go back earlier, the weather may not be good.
Who cheng cheng wanted to be like a person next to Yi, Yin yang sneered at the lotus heart, saying that the lotus heart was now hurt by someone, and marrying a eunuch also saved the hardship of having children.
Ah Zhen's words hit Lotus Heart's heart, and his eyes filled with tears. Ruyi reprimanded Ah Zhen and apologized to Lian Xin, taking Ah Zhen away.
In fact, Lotus Heart had heard a lot of words like Ah Zhen's overt and covert sarcasm, but this was not the one that made her most sad.
What made Lian Xin most sad was the queen, and when a haggard Lian Xin begged the queen to take back herself, Queen Fucha said with a cold face that she was for her own good.
Lian Xin knew that Empress Fucha would not take herself back, and she chose to take her life lightly.
Third, the lotus heart said the reason for the strange sound in the middle of the night
Lian Xin, who was bent on asking for death, chose to throw himself into the lake at night, disguised as a lost foot and fell into the water, but was met by Ruyi and rescued.
When Ruyi asks her why she is looking for death, Lian Xin reveals the inhuman torture she suffered when she married Wang Qin, and the reason for the strange noise at night.
It turned out that marrying Wang Qin, a eunuch, was not only to accompany him, but also to be tortured by Wang Qin.
Wang Qin was a eunuch, but he wanted to do the conjugal business, but the physical mutilation made him have no choice but to torture Lotus Heart. At night, Wang Qin usually pierced the lotus heart with a needle and constantly tortured the lotus heart's body.
Such inhuman treatment made Lotus heart miserable, and she was both physically and mentally devastated.
Therefore, when Lian Xin married Wang Qin, a eunuch, she really deserved to suffer. At the same time, this is also the reason why Lotus Heart makes strange noises at night, all because of Wang Qin's torture.
When Lian Xin married a eunuch, her life was ruined, but what made her even more desperate was the indifference of the empress. However, Lian Xin's family is controlled by the Fucha family, so she cannot resist or rush to find death, and can only throw herself into the lake and pretend to fall into the water.
When Ruyi heard this, she found that Lotus Heart was suffering so much, and she thought of helping Lotus Heart get out of the sea of suffering.
Ruyi advised Lian Xin to live a good life first, and then help her separate from Wang Qin when the time came. Lian Xin was deeply touched by Ruyi's words, and her true master, Empress Fucha, did not care about herself, while Ruyi was willing to help herself.
In the end, Ruyi did not lose faith and helped Lian Xin get rid of Wang Qin's bitter sea.
epilogue
Seeing this, I believe that everyone has understood the pain and suffering that Lotus Heart suffered when she married the eunuch Wang Qin. This is also why Lotus Heart would scream in the middle of the night, all because of Wang Qin's torture.
In ancient times, there were times when palace ladies and eunuchs ate each other, but they only accompanied each other. But the combination of Lotus Heart and Wang Qin is not so simple, Wang Qin is a lewd person, not a real man but wants to perform the ritual of Zhou Gong.
In order to hide his inferiority, he tried his best to torture and hurt Lotus Heart.
Although Wang Qin's final fate was very tragic, Lian Xin, a kind and simple palace girl, was hurt. At the same time, we can also find a truth that for Lotus Heart, marrying a eunuch is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the inhuman torture she suffers, and the indifferent ridicule of those around her.
