Female Shi Zhentu (Sui and Tang Dynasty Official) partial
In 384, ten years after marrying Princess Xin'an, the 41-year-old Wang Xianzhi was overjoyed.
Father Wang Xizhi named this child "Divine Love", which means that God loves her and hopes that the girl can be blessed by God throughout her life.
In Wang Xianzhi's eyes, his wife gave birth to a child at an advanced age, and the only daughter was naturally a treasure among the treasures.
However, the radiant and flowing talent would not think of what kind of life tribulations he would experience in the future if he wanted to care for a lifetime of heart and liver baby.
01
The scenery of the surface
Born with a golden key, Wang Shen'ai was born with wisdom and cleverness, and his appearance was extraordinary.
Perhaps inheriting the talents of the ancestors of the Shuxiang family, she has loved calligraphy since she was a child and has shown amazing talent.
She diligently read the calligraphy inscriptions of the Wang family, and created her own unique style by drawing on the strengths of various families.
From the imperial court to the people, they are praising this female calligrapher's good handwriting.
A young girl with both talents and good looks, she grew up under the shade of her family.
When she grew up to be old enough to marry, she soon became the object of competition among major families.
For a time, the suitors who broke through the threshold lined up in a long line.
Among them, there was Sima Yao, the Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, who asked for a daughter-in-law.
Sima Yao and Princess Xin'an were brothers and sisters, and after Sima Yao succeeded to the throne, he made sima dezong, the eldest son, crown prince.
Now, in order to kiss him, Sima Yao wanted his niece to marry his son.
At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xianzhi and Princess Xin'an had been dead for many years, and the Wang clan of Langya had long since declined.
The Wang family heard that they could marry the emperor, as if they had grasped the straw of life.
They began to look forward to the beautiful scene after the revival of the family, and agreed to the marriage.
In the twenty-first year of Taiyuan (396), the sixth uncle who was serving in the capital sent Wang Shen'ai away.
Since then, the 13-year-old girl married the 15-year-old crown prince and became the crown princess, like a beautiful Mary Sue.
The little girl who did not understand the world, happily stepped into the Prince's Mansion, and thought that she had ushered in the opportunity of life, who knew that the Wang family's operation of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix had pushed herself to a bumpy road.

The newlywed
The seemingly honorable Wang Shen'ai faced great embarrassment, because although her husband was in the position of prince, he was born with intellectual disabilities.
Sima Dezong never said a complete sentence, cold and heat can not distinguish between hot and cold, eating and living can not take care of themselves, even walking on their own.
Every move depends on the service of the people below.
On the wedding night, the dazed prince, looking at his cousin in a daze, did not happen.
In the same year as marrying the crown prince, Sima Yao was killed by Zhang Guiren with a large quilt.
According to the rules of "having a concubine", Sima Dezong was surrounded by people and became emperor, for the Jin Emperor.
In just one year, Wang Shen'ai became the most honorable empress of the empire at rocket speed.
But she was even more unhappy, the stupid husband was used as a puppet by people with ulterior motives to control power, and she could only follow her husband and take charge of the harem.
A stupid husband, of course, cannot have emotional communication with her, and who knows the suffering and pain in this.
In the face of such an unresponsive body, Wang Shen'ai accepted his fate in the end.
She had to actually take charge of all the daily affairs of the Eastern Palace, but ignored her husband and threw her heart to the care of Emperor Jin's brothers.
03
The palace is cloudy
The actual power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell into the hands of Wang Shen'ai's uncle, Sima Daozi the Prince of Ji.
After Sima Daozi came to power, many generals from all sides came out one after another to compete for territory and support the army to stand on their own.
Wars, killings, mass riots, mutinies occurred every three to five minutes. The so-called Emperor An of Jin was completely reduced to a decoration.
Although he lived a life of fine clothes and food every day, but her husband could be pulled off at any time, Wang Shen'ai only felt that she had become a queen who could not live in fear.
In the second year of Yuan Xing (403), Sima Daozi's father and son were killed by Huan Xuan, who held military power, and the latter easily usurped the throne.
Huan Xuan wanted to establish himself as emperor, so he directed a play by Emperor Zen of Jin' An.
He had people write the Edict of Zen in advance and forced Sima Dezong to copy it himself.
The whole 310 words, Sima Dezong spent three full days before he finished the difficult copy.
Subsequently, he was immediately deposed and renamed King Pinggu.
The following year, Wang Shen'ai and her foolish husband were moved out of the palace of Jiankangtai City by Huan Xuan and assigned to Xunyang County.
A woman who has been pampered since childhood has fallen into a turbulent displacement.
In June of that year, a group of soldiers from the "Beifu Soldiers" subverted huanxuan's regime, and huanxuan was defeated and stabbed to death.
Liu Yu, the military leader, took the couple back to Jiankang, and Emperor An of Jin was restored to the throne.
Unfortunately, only 7 days later, Huan Zhen attacked Jiangling again, captured Emperor An of Jin again, and Wang Shen'ai was put under house arrest again.
The queen of other people's families is the mother of the world, and to herself is her own insecurity.
To survive in such a harsh environment, it is naturally not at ease.
But unarmed, Wang Shen loved the only thing this weak woman could do was to boil.
It was not until 406 that Wang Shen'ai finally survived.
In this year, the Jin Andi couple were rescued again and returned to Jiankang.
04
The last stubbornness
The situation of the palace is not much more stable than during the period of house arrest.
The imperial power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already controlled by Liu Yu, and almost all the military power was in his camp.
Her husband could not rely on it, and Wang Shen'ai wanted to turn the situation around by her own strength, but she knew the calculations and scheming of the dynasty.
A storm was brewing among the soldiers in power, and Liu Yi, who was full of envy and hatred for Liu Yu, formed a new pole in the DPRK and China.
Sima Dewen, the imperial brother who always accompanied Sima Dezong, also gradually moved closer to this group.
They repeatedly confronted Liu Yu, and finally, Liu Yu was angry.
In the eighth year of Yixi (412), Liu Yu began to persecute the ministers and directly ordered the assassination of shi in other places.
Liu Yi finally made up his mind and made a final attempt against Liu Yu.
In August of the same year, After several palace coups and several moves out and into the palace, Wang Shen'ai finally died of melancholy and died lonely in the Huiyin Hall, empress dowager, who was 29 years old at the time and childless.
Wang Shen'ai may have been lucky, because she did not see the fratricide that happened later, the destruction of the country and the family.
In September of that year, just after the burial of Wang Shen'ai, Liu Yu issued an arrest warrant against Liu Ling and Xie Chao, and in the same year sent troops to attack Liu Yi.
In April of the following year, Liu Yu issued an order: "Depose Empress Dowager Zu Zetian for forty hectares." Full of resentment towards wang shen's love, he wanted to deprive the future eastern Jin dynasty empress of her small treasury.
Six years later, Wang Shen's beloved foolish husband was killed alive by Zhongshu Waiter Wang Shaozhi in Jiankang Dongtang.
Ironically, this Wang Shaozhi is also from the Wang clan of Langya, and is in the same lineage as Wang Shen's love.
Emperor An of Jin was 37 years old when he died, and in the first month of the following year, he was buried in Xiuping Mausoleum with Wang Shen'ai, who had been gone for six years.
Wang Shen loved this life, and he also had a girl's dream, hoping to find a confidant to spend with.
The yin and yang are wrong, but they have become the victims of politics.
Perhaps from the moment of birth, she was doomed to tragedy, but it was a pity, full of good talent.

Look back.
Xi Daomao is Wang Xianzhi's cousin, the two are green plum bamboo horses, two love each other, after marriage intoxicated with calligraphy, sightseeing in the mountains, can be said to be harmonious with each other.
However, Wang Xianzhi, who had a family, was favored by Princess Xin'an.
Perhaps it was Princess Xin'an who admired Wang Xianzhi, or perhaps Emperor Xiaowu wanted to promote Wang Xianzhi, but in short, the emperor decided to marry Princess Xin'an to Wang Xianzhi, so he ordered that Wang Xianzhi be forced to divorce Xi Daomao.
In order to avoid his will, Wang Xianzhi refused to marry, and did not hesitate to burn his feet with wormwood, resulting in a foot disease in the second half of his life and his mobility for many years.
However, even so, it was still to no avail, the emperor's order was difficult to violate, and Wang Xianzhi could only endure the pain and leave Xi Daomao.
Wang Xianzhi lived his whole life in regret.
When he was critically ill, his family invited Taoist priests for him.
The Book of Jin contains: The prince is sick and sick, and the Taoist chapter should be the first to go, asking Zi Jing what are the similarities and differences in the origin. Zi Jingyun: "I don't feel that there is anything left, but I remember divorcing the Xi family." ”
"I don't feel that there is more than enough, but I remember divorcing the Xi family." This sentence is really poignant.
Ben is a pair of immortal couples, and they are torn apart alive.
One is depressed, and the other lives in regret.
Sigh.
I wondered if sima Daofu would have a feeling of unhappiness when she saw her daughter underground.
