In the bright starry sky of ancient Chinese opera, the story of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui is like a dazzling star, attracting the attention of countless people. This is a legend of love, perseverance and struggle, and it moves people with its delicate emotional depictions and ups and downs.
Wang Baochuan, a daughter from a wealthy family, is beautiful and intelligent, with an elegant temperament. However, she was not blinded by the splendor of material things and chose a different path.
Among the many suitors, she fell in love with the poor Xue Pinggui and fell in love with his talent and sincerity. Regardless of the opposition of her family, she firmly chose love, and would rather give up glory and wealth than be accompanied by true love.
Xue Pinggui, a young man from a poor background, has great ambitions despite his difficult life. He is well aware of his responsibility and mission, and in order to give Wang Baochuan a better future, he resolutely embarked on the road of struggle. In the outside world, he went through hardships, but he never gave up the ideals in his heart. Finally, after 18 years of hard work, he returned home and realized his dream.
When Xue Pinggui returned to his hometown, what he saw was Wang Baochuan who kept his promise. She has been in the cold kiln for 18 years, and although she has experienced countless hardships and loneliness, her eyes are still full of hope for the future. Xue Pinggui was deeply moved by her tenacity and perseverance, and he vowed to give her a happy future.
So, he picked up his wife Wang Baochuan, who had been guarding for 18 years, and took her into the magnificent palace. There, she was treated with the respect and pampering she deserved, and they lived happily ever after.
At first glance, the love story of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui is like a beautiful picture, full of romance and warmth. However, when we dig deeper into the truth of this story, we can't help but sigh for the sadness behind it.
According to the book, Wang Baochuan died suddenly 18 days after becoming the queen. What is even more unexpected is that after learning of Wang Baochuan's death, Xue Pinggui not only did not show any sadness, but also breathed a sigh of relief. So, why did Xue Pinggui behave so abnormally?
In the time of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a prime minister named Wang Yun, who had three daughters under his knees. Among them, Wang Baochuan is his youngest daughter, who has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child.
However, this excessive favor also made Wang Baochuan's personality have a hint of arrogance. Although she was born in a wealthy family and looked like a country and a city, she did not choose those children of the right family as her husband, but had a soft spot for a poor boy named Xue Pinggui.
Although Xue Pinggui lived in poverty, he had an indomitable spirit and outstanding talent. Although he is at the bottom of society, he has lofty ambitions. It was his tenacity and extraordinaryness that deeply attracted Wang Baochuan. What she values is not his wealth and status, but the strength of his heart and the infinite possibilities of the future.
However, Wang Yun did not approve of this son-in-law. In his eyes, Xue Pinggui is just a powerless little person, not worthy of his baby daughter at all. For this reason, he strongly opposed this family business, and even set up many obstacles to try to break up the pair of mandarin ducks.
However, Wang Baochuan had made up her mind, and she resolutely chose Xue Pinggui. She believes in her own vision and firmly believes that this man will one day soar. So, she gave up her life of fine clothes and food, and wanted to marry this poor boy without hesitation.
Faced with the choice of his daughter Wang Baochuan, Wang Yun's heart swelled with complicated emotions. He is well aware of his daughter's personality, independent and stubborn, but this time, he can't go along with her decision as usual. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were firm, and there was undoubted determination in his voice: "Bao Chuan, have you really thought it through? Marrying Xue Pinggui is not an easy task, and you have to pay a huge price for it." ”
Wang Baochuan looked at his father's serious face, although he was a little flustered in his heart, but more firm. She took a deep breath and said with a determined gaze, "Father, I understand your concern. But Xue Pinggui is my choice, and I will take responsibility for my decision. ”
After Wang Yun heard this, he was silent for a moment. He is well aware of his daughter's persistence, but the worry in his heart is difficult to dissipate. He sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly: "That's it, since you are so insistent, I have nothing to say." Just remember that once you make this decision, our father-daughter relationship will also end here. ”
When Wang Baochuan heard this, his body trembled. She never expected that her decision would make her father so decisive. Her eyes glistened with tears, and her voice choked: "Father, I ......"
However, Wang Yun didn't give her any chance to explain, and turned to leave, leaving Wang Baochuan standing alone in place, with mixed feelings in his heart. However, even though his father forced him to sever the relationship between father and daughter, Wang Baochuan still insisted on marrying the poor boy Xue Pinggui.
Wang Baochuan believes that his persistence will definitely bring him a happy life. Even if it is coarse vegetables and light rice, she is willing. However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
A happy life always seems to be out of reach, and not long after the two of them entered the palace of marriage, Xue Pinggui received an order to fight on the battlefield. This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Wang Baochuan's world to collapse in an instant.
She couldn't imagine that the newlyweds would face such a parting. At least a year and a half, or at most a few years, Xue Pinggui is about to embark on an unknown journey. Whenever he thinks of this, Wang Baochuan's eyes are always moist. She knows that this walk, life and death are uncertain, and the road ahead is boundless.
Xue Pinggui looked at the beloved woman in front of him, and his heart was mixed. He knows the cruelty of war, and he is unwilling to let Wang Baochuan suffer such pain. So, he persuaded her to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion and return to the arms of her parents, where she could at least live a more stable life.
However, Wang Baochuan shook his head firmly. There was a determined light in her eyes, which was her trust in Xue Pinggui and her expectation for the future. She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would persevere and wait for Xue Pinggui's return.
However, what Wang Baochuan never expected was that when Xue Pinggui came back, it was already 18 years later. What's even more unacceptable is that when they met again, the identities of the two changed 180 degrees.
Previously, Wang Baochuan was the prime minister's daughter, and Xue Pinggui was just a poor subordinate. At this time, Xue Pinggui became the king of Xiliang, but Wang Baochuan became the wife of the dregs.
Fortunately, Xue Pinggui still has a conscience, and he took Wang Baochuan to Xiliang and canonized him as the queen. It's just that Wang Baochuan died 18 days after ascending to the throne of the queen.
However, when Wang Baochuan died, Xue Pinggui was not sad at all. Instead, there is a sense of relief. Why did Wang Baochuan die suddenly?
In my opinion, there are three reasons for this.
First, the long years of 18 years have long diluted their strong emotions, leaving only the heavy responsibility promised under feudal etiquette.
Xue Pinggui looked at Wang Baochuan, his eyes showed strangeness and helplessness, she was no longer the wife who spent sweet time with him, but the woman who had gone through the ups and downs, and only had only the vicissitudes of life.
For Xue Pinggui, Wang Baochuan is a chapter in his life, but he is not the protagonist in his heart. That chapter was a record of their vows and promises, but they had long since been blurred by time. Wang Baochuan in his eyes is just a shadow carrying promises and memories, a person he must face but can no longer be moved.
Their reunion has no tears of excitement, no warm hugs, only the intersection that is as light as water. Their hearts have long since faded away in the long river of time, and the former affection has long been exhausted. The affection between them is like the fine sand dissipated in the wind, insignificant, but difficult to part.
For such a wife, he has long had no feelings. So after learning the news of his wife's death, how could a man who has no relationship between husband and wife cry bitterly?
Second, it is understood that the reason why Xue Pinggui was able to become the king of Xiliang was not because of his outstanding military exploits, nor because of his great talent. Instead, he married Princess Xuanzan, the daughter of the old King of Xiliang. Because of this relationship between Princess Xuanzan, Xue Pinggui sat on the throne of Xiliang.
It stands to reason that the position of the queen must be that of Princess Xuanzan, not Wang Baochuan. However, Wang Baochuan is his wife after all. If he didn't canonize her as queen, then he would be infamous for abandoning his bad wife.
However, after Wang Baochuan became the queen, Xue Pinggui had tremendous pressure. Because the reason why the people of Xiliang made him the king of Xiliang was mainly because he married Princess Xuanzan. If, neither the king nor the queen are from Xiliang. This made Xiliang people feel very uncomfortable.
If this situation continues for a long time, there will definitely be many Xiliang people who stand up against Xue Pinggui. At that time, Xue Pinggui's throne will definitely not be guaranteed. However, at this time, he did not have any solution.
Just when Xue Pinggui was in a dilemma, Wang Baochuan, who had been on the throne for 18 days, died suddenly. So, why did Wang Baochuan die suddenly?
It is understood that Wang Baochuan has lived in a cave for a long time, with a difficult environment and poor living conditions. Such a living environment has long caused her to suffer from old diseases and her physical condition is worrying.
18 years of bitter cold life has made her body deteriorate, she can't eat well, sleep well, and be exhausted. Illness wrapped around her like a shadow, weakening her body.
Despite this, Wang Baochuan has always maintained his perseverance and adhered to his beliefs. However, in just 18 days after she sat on the throne of the queen, her body finally could not bear the long-term illness and suffering, and she died suddenly.
Wang Baochuan's death is undoubtedly a huge relief for Xue Pinggui. For him, the news was like nectar after a long drought, and his tense nerves were finally relieved.
Originally, he had been worried about how to place Princess Tortoiseball, the woman he loved. Wang Baochuan's existence is like an insurmountable obstacle, blocking between them.
Now that the obstacle is gone, he can finally canonize Princess Tortoiseshell as Empress without any scruples. In this way, the people of Xiliang will not have any opinions, and thus keep his throne. Wang Baochuan's death has become a great news for Xue Pinggui, and it is even said that it kills two birds with one stone. It is no wonder that Xue Pinggui breathed a sigh of relief after learning the news of Wang Baochuan's death.
It's just a pity that Wang Baochuan never thought that his lifelong love would be so vulnerable in the face of rights and interests.
If time could be turned back and returned to the moment when Wang Baochuan married Xue Pinggui, would she stick to her previous choice?
