Empress Xuan is gentle and virtuous, Sven is dignified, and every move makes people feel pleasing to the eye. Such a woman should be the happiest, because only a happy woman can be so peaceful. But when I really entered Empress Xuan's world, I found that she was the loneliest person in this huge palace.
In fact, Empress Xuan had a very good childhood, her parents were very affectionate and very kind to them, and they never scolded. Even if Prince Xuan died later, they sent people under the fence, but their mother never scolded them. And their siblings are also very filial, and they want to leave anything delicious to their mother to eat. In their homes, whether husband and wife or children, the love between them is very pure and does not contain any interests. Only this kind of love can make people really feel happy.
Therefore, in the heart of Empress Xuan, what she pursues is a pure affection, pure conjugal love, pure mother-son love. But the reality is always the opposite of what she expected. Several of her children often made her wonder whether she was really filial to her, or filial to the power and status in her hands. Take the fifth princess, for example, every time she appears in front of the empress, she says something about her interests. The eldest princess looks filial, but every time she sends the empress something, she will make a request. Their kindness to the queen is full of purpose.
Even the queen's birthday banquet, they refused to care. The fifth princess has always said that she rehearsed a dance very hard for the birthday of her mother, but when she really came on, she only saw a few simple movements, and she danced unneatly, which shows that she didn't pay attention at all. The gift given by the eldest princess is even more outrageous, obviously the empress is very afraid of the cold, and even in the summer she has to wear a whole set of curly deep clothes, but she gave a single plain gauze as thin as cicada wings. The queen does not drink alcohol every day, but she also gave a white jade fretwork goblet. These gifts of hers did not look like they were given to the empress, but rather to the emperor.
Therefore, when Empress Xuan saw these gifts, her eyes were full of disappointment, if she really meant it, how could she not know her preferences. Come up with a gift that really satisfies her, rather than doing superficial work here. If it is just a gift that does not satisfy the empress, it is even more excessive, even on such an important day as the birthday banquet of the empress, the fifth princess cannot stop for a while, and has to make some movement.
Shaoshang was pushed into the water, knowing that the queen's birthday was imminent, so he couldn't cause trouble for the empress and let her block her. The fifth princess was afraid that the matter was not big enough, and she framed Ling Bu and humiliated the girl. At all times, the five princesses only think of their own interests. This makes Empress Xuan, who yearns for her mother's kindness and filial piety, how can she not be sad?
And the pure conjugal love that Empress Xuan is looking forward to is destined to be only a luxury in this life. Although the emperor treated her very well and took care of her everywhere, he only gave her family affection. The emperor gave the only love to Concubine Yue. Therefore, no matter how well the queen does, "love" is also out of her life.
Although Empress Xuan was in a high position, she only held the title of empress and lived an involuntary life, but fortunately she met Shaoshang, she gave Shaoshang her missing maternal love, and Shaoshang also warmed Empress Xuan. So as not to make the life in this palace lonely.
