What is love, is it perseverance, is it silently paid, or is it unswerving until death?
Perhaps we can realize something in Wang Baojun's story, who guarded the cold kiln for 18 years and was crowned empress for 18 days, and her death made her husband breathe a sigh of relief. Have all the efforts been rewarded as they deserve? Has a piece of affection been betrayed?

First, famous people fall in love with poor boys
The beginning of this love is very difficult, and it also implies that the future love road is doomed to be difficult. Wang Baojun was the third daughter of Wang Yun during the Tang Yizong period, and the daughter of Xiang Xiang was definitely a famous person, and the family was prominent. And she fell in love with Xue Pinggui, a poor boy who did rough work.
Before meeting Xue Pinggui, Wang Baojun had many rich children around her pursuing her, but she couldn't see it, and these stupid children and playboys could get into the eyes of the big lady.
Wang Baojun wanted to find a talented fei fei gongzi, until she met Xue Pinggui, this poor scholar in shabby clothes was actually a knowledgeable and literate person, although the family was poor, but the temperament revealed between the conversations deeply attracted Wang Baojun.
In their daily interactions, the two have secret feelings, but this status is very different, and it is very difficult to truly become a couple and formally communicate generously. The family urged Wang Baojun to quickly find a good Langjun who was right at the door, but she only wanted to marry Xue Pinggui.

At this time, Wang Baojun came up with an idea, she decided to choose her husband by throwing hydrangea balls, she knew that as soon as the news came out, Xue Pinggui would definitely come to grab the hydrangea ball, and when he received the hydrangea ball, under the witness of everyone, his father could not regret it.
It's just that Wang Baojun's father, Wang Yun, secretly ordered the day to throw the hydrangea ball, but the door was guarded, these poor boys could not be put in, and the only people who came to grab the hydrangea were the young masters of those famous and prestigious families.
Xue Pinggui still managed to enter through the side door, and as expected, the hydrangea ball happened to hit him. This made her father Wang Yun angry, and her daughter cheapened this shabby poor boy in vain, but Wang Baojun insisted on marrying Xue Pinggui, and finally she did not hesitate to break off relations with her father, and the two finally got married.
The days after marriage are far less worrying than in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the husband and wife have a deep affection, and it is not so difficult to work together on a hard day.

Second, for 18 years, he only hoped that his husband would return
After marriage, Xue Pinggui always wanted to establish a career so that Wang Baojun could live a good life, and this opportunity finally waited.
Xi Liang invaded the frontier, the imperial court began to recruit troops, his old father-in-law Wang Yun has always had a grudge against him, before the temple to see Ben let the Tang King seal him as a pioneer, since they are all pioneers, it must be on, Xue Pinggui was requisitioned on the battlefield.
During these days in the military camp, his talent was undoubtedly revealed, but his outstanding ability would also require all kinds of jealousy and conspiracy, especially his brother-in-law Wei Bao's trip to him, and life in the military camp was also not good!
The official who said earlier that the horse pioneer had a hard time surviving on the battlefield, but when he almost died, the princess of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tortoiseshell, saved him, and this princess took a fancy to Xue Pinggui and wanted to marry him, Xue Pinggui did not agree at first, but was helplessly forced to accept it.
On the day of the marriage, I don't know if he still remembered his hometown wife Wang Baojun, who was still at home waiting for him to return safely, living in extreme embarrassment, even digging wild vegetables to fill his stomach. The scenery of the daughter of xiangmen to the poor peasant woman is only a few years, which makes people feel infinitely sad.
After Xue Pinggui became a donkey, his status rose sharply, and he had outstanding ability, and then he became the king of the Western Liang Kingdom. However, in the more than ten years of getting along with Princess Tortoiseshell, he never mentioned that he still had Wang Baojun's haired wife in his hometown.

3. The person who has suffered for 18 years has become her husband
Many years later, Xue Pinggui received a blood letter from Wang Baojun, which told about the hardships and grievances he had suffered over the years, Xue Pinggui decided to go back to see Wang Baojun, but he did not expect that the first time they met after separation was eighteen years apart!
When she said goodbye, the woman in front of her looked tired, and the original young girl showed an old state. When Xue Pinggui told her about these encounters, she couldn't believe that the man in front of her was already her husband, the tears broke in an instant, and Wang Baojun, who had an emotional breakdown, cried her heart and lungs, and she didn't know whether there was any meaning in these years of persistence.
But no matter what, Xue Pinggui still returned safely, but the story is not over, with the help of Princess Tortoiseshell, Xue Pinggui led an army to attack Chang'an, won Wang Yun, etc., established himself as emperor, in the face of who is crowned as empress, Xue Pinggui hesitated, which can be described as a dilemma.
On the one hand, wang baojun, a wife who has been waiting for 18 years, and on the other hand, princess tortoiseshell, who helped her build a great record, both sides can not live up to it. Subsequently, he decided to make Wang Baojun empress.
The 18-year wait can not be disappointed, but at this time, Xue Pinggui still has concerns about Wang Baojun, after all, her father Wang Yun has tried every means to kill him over the years, but his life is big, step by step to the present. Originally, he wanted to give Wang Yun death, but Wang Baojun could only intercede.
Wang Baojun also finally waited for a good day, left the cold kiln, moved into the luxurious palace, but she did not enjoy the blessings well, red face and thin life, and died after 18 days of entering the palace.

Perhaps in these 18 years of bitter waiting, I have suffered too many sins, my body has accumulated too many diseases, I used to hold on because I had to wait for Xue Pinggui to return, the family can be reunited, and now people are back, but it seems that the heart does not belong to himself, Wang Baojun probably can't stand it, his body and psychology are almost collapsed, and he left the world like this.
Looking back at Wang Baojun's life, this is a woman who is unswerving in love, in the 18 years of staying alone in the cold kiln, she has the opportunity to remarry resolutely and resolutely gave up, despite the hardships of life, she also gritted her teeth and persevered.
How many 18 years does a woman have, and is it worth it to exchange 18 years of long waiting for 18 days of getting together? It was not worth it to outsiders, and the man who was waiting for him also married other women.
But for Wang Baojun, in the past 18 years, she should never regret it, she loves Xue Pinggui deeply, she can give everything, from throwing hydrangeas and breaking off relations with her father for love, she is such a crazy woman for love.
Most of the love stories that can be passed down to this day do not have a good ending, Liang Shan Bo Zhu Yingtai turned into a butterfly, and the white lady was pressed under the Leifeng Tower, but I hope that everyone's love road will not be so difficult to walk, so muddy, meet the right person, do not have to wait bitterly, and can enjoy plain happiness between the day and night.
