In China's long history, the group portraits of brilliant women shine brightly. There are those beautiful women who are as beautiful as sinking fish and geese, and the moon is shy of flowers, as well as the female emperor Wu Zetian, who is unique in the world, and Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist who conquers the world with talent and talent.
However, on this glorious historical stage, there is a first beauty of the Qing Dynasty, who was supposed to bloom in the peerless elegance, but now she can only outline her appearance through a few black and white photos. Her life seems to have been forgotten by the years, as if the footprints left behind are insignificant. However, in reality, her fate is often at the mercy of others, and her life has never really belonged to her!
The Mystery of the Palace: The Courage and Wisdom of the Four Grids
In an era of court intrigue and family strife, a woman of beauty and wisdom unleashed her unique destiny. Her father was a highly respected politician in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Qing Aixinjue Luo Yixuan, and his family had a long history and powerful power. However, within this large family, this beautiful girl is embroiled in an intricate power struggle.
From an early age, Si Gege has shown intelligence and wisdom that is unlike any other. Her birth was welcomed by Prince Kyung and the entire royal palace, and her beauty and intellect brought her into the limelight. Prince Qing regarded her as the pearl of his palm, imparting wisdom and endless knowledge to her family.
However, in this ancient feudal society, the status of women has always been low. Prince Qing's eldest son, Aisin Jue Luo Zaizhen, with feudal prejudices, regarded women as tools at will. He sees Sigege's beauty and intelligence, but he only wants to use trickery to destroy her. He devised to send her to another nobleman's mansion for his own personal gain. However, Prince Qing's love for his daughter is unparalleled, and this conspiracy is completely exposed.
Unwilling to fail, Jae-jin decided to adopt a more cunning strategy. He arranged for someone to pretend to be Prince Qing and lure Sigege to the mansion of another nobleman. Si Gege didn't hesitate to go, but fell into the trap set by Jae Zhen.
Fortunately, Prince Qing's second son, Aixinjue Luo Zaifu, appeared in time. He is an upright and hidden man, proficient in martial arts, and has the same siblings as Sigege. When he realized that his sister might be in danger, he did not hesitate to go and rescue her from the crisis. The deep friendship and mutual support between them have become the spiritual pillar and source of strength for Sigege in this era full of power and danger.
Sister changes favors: power and harem
Although the previous plan failed, it failed to shake Jae-jin's thief's heart. He decided to send his sister Sigege to the pinnacle of power. The Empress Dowager Cixi is a key pawn in this game of power and conspiracy, and she holds de facto control of the harem. Zai Zhen is well versed in flattery, and believes that as long as he is good at Cixi, power and glory will come without hesitation. He decided to give his sister as a gift and win the favor of Cixi.
At the end of a court meeting, Jae-jin knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom and pleaded for a face. He used his sister's beauty and talent as an introduction and proposed to dedicate her to the Queen Mother's service. Cixi was well aware of the treasure, and was attracted by these words, and agreed to meet the four-grid who had been praised so beautifully.
Soon after, the will of the Empress Dowager Cixi reached the palace of Prince Qing, and Sigege became a member of the palace. Prince Qing was bitter in his heart, and he understood that this was an inevitable end. As the prince, he could only personally send his sister into the harem and conform to Cixi's arrangement.
Stepping into the harem, Sigege was appreciated by Cixi. Her beauty and talent made it difficult for Cixi to ignore. Sigege's fate changed as a result, and he became a bright pearl in the harem. However, the power struggle and power struggle behind it did not subside, and her brother Zaizhen was also appreciated and reused by Cixi, and finally began to emerge on the political stage.
Court Lamentation: The fate and demons of the four grids
In that ethereal and complex court era, a woman with both talent and beauty performed her beautiful and contradictory fate. She is the daughter of Prince Qing Aixinjue Luo Yixuan, who was born in a famous family and had a bad fate. However, her fate is dictated by her family and power, pushing her into a maelstrom of court from which she cannot escape.
Since childhood, Si Gege has shown a unique intelligence and wisdom. Her beauty and intelligence have become the pride of Prince Qing's mansion, and she has also been given a different fate. However, it is precisely because she was born into such a family that she was caught up in the whirlpool of power and became a pawn that was pinned.
Her brother loves Xinjue Luo Zaizhen, and his thirst for power is in full swing. He repeatedly set a trap and tried to trade her for his own benefit. However, this beautiful woman has shown resilience and intelligence in the midst of crisis. When Zaifu appeared to save her from danger, her life seemed to have a glimmer of hope.
However, the entanglement of family and power is not over. Jae-jin decided to send his sister to the court in order to seek a place beside the Empress Dowager Cixi. She entered the court, but gradually lost her freedom. The authority of the Empress Dowager Cixi was unstoppable, and Sigege became her maid and companion. Her beauty and intelligence made her the favorite of Cixi, and also bound her firmly in the net of power.
The appearance of the camera seemed to bring a glimmer of light to her life. She took the opportunity to leave behind some precious photos, which became the only memories of her life. However, even with these fragments, her life could not escape the fate of the court.
Marriage seemed like another kind of cage to her. Hee-jun's departure made her experience the pain of losing her lover, but Cixi did not let her go. Once again, her fate was twisted and she was forced to return to the court and continue to serve Cixi. Under the weaving of Cixi's power and fate, Sigege's life gradually dissipated. Her smile faded, replaced by bitterness and despair. She is used as a pawn of power, driven by her ruthlessly until the end of her fate.
In those black and white photos, we seem to be able to see her former style, but also feel her beautiful life. She was a faint star in that court, torn by fate and ravaged by power. Her story is like a tragic song, echoing in the long river of history, which makes us think more deeply about the darkness and glory of that era.
epilogue
The intrigues and calculations in the court are like an invisible net, trapping the four grids in it. Her beauty and intelligence became her double-edged sword, which was used to manipulate and contain her. The Empress Dowager Cixi used her as a pawn on the chessboard of power, making her part of the game of power schemes. Her love was taken away from her, and marriage became another constraint on her life.
However, in her fate, she was also a witness to that era. Her life has witnessed the vanity and darkness of the court, the corruption and intrigue of power. Although her story has been submerged in the long river of history, it continues to circulate in those black and white photos, revealing the style and truth of an era for future generations.
The fate of Sigege, like a silent elegy, echoes in the corners of history. Her story teaches us that power and profit can make people lose their freedom and happiness, and that the lens of history will forever freeze those buried faces and emotions. In her eyes, we may see the splendor and desolation of that era, as well as the tenacity and sadness of life in the shadow of the court.
