A harem novel without palace fights makes people want to put it down

I only wrote this after the second brush was finished. This is a book that won't be very touching after reading it for the first time, but it has great staying power. I really cried when I read it the second time... Concubine Zhou Shu who loves to cook, Concubine Lin Xian who loves housekeeping, Concubine Zheng De who loves raising children, Concubine Wen who loves embroidery, Song Jieyu who can write storybooks, and Beauty Wang who only wishes him a good life. Each one is so heartbreaking, and each one is unworthy of the scumbag emperor. But Li Xiu is not wrong, he is not a good husband, but he is a good emperor... It's a pity that he can only look for Yaoyao's shadow in other people... Poor little Liu'er has been a substitute and a spectator all his life. Fortunately, he took his heart back after only three days of being moved. If they were not in the imperial family and just married ordinary people, their lives would definitely be better than they are now, right? ! If there is an afterlife, I hope that Concubine Shu will continue to perform chivalrous acts in western Liaoning and cook for her parents; Concubine De will have a small yard full of wall-eating tigers and have four children with her lover; Concubine Zhu will support herself with embroidery and meet someone who appreciates her embroidery; Concubine Xian will marry an ordinary person and become a wife and manage the backyard; Concubine Wang will be able to be with her sweetheart for the rest of her life.

I bought a physical book, and I was really filled with emotions after reading it. I thought this book was ridiculous before, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel that it made me cry. I have never burst into tears because of reading a book. This is the first time that there is no absolute bad guy. For the emperor, no, I can only say that his merits are greater than his faults. The prosperous age he created is truly unparalleled and unmatched. Such a dynasty has been built into what it is today. He was able to reach this step step by step because of how many people's bones he walked over and how many of his bottom lines he gave up. The world said that the emperor's family is good. Inside the red walls and green tiles, there are countless innocent souls. Xiao Liu'er is really lucky. She has not experienced any hardships in her life. She is prosperous, wealthy, peaceful and happy, but it also confirms the author's words. She gave up part of herself. , Everyone said she was stupid when she became someone else's substitute, but she is such a stupid person who can see more clearly than anyone else. This is much better than Yaoyao. The emperor may have also liked Xiao Liu'er, and told him to die soon. Thank you for two years and three sentences. He said it to Xiao Liu'er from the bottom of his heart. No one's life is always safe, lucky and smooth sailing. Relatively speaking, Xiao Liu'er is really happier than anyone else.

Children Who Grow Flowers Love to Grow Flowers58mo ago

It was really good to watch and I cried throughout the whole process, even though I am a person with a low tear point.

Each protagonist will recall the past and express their regrets before dying. I think the emperor is really a person that I love and hate at the same time. I like his deep affection but hate that he didn't know who Xiao Liu'er was at the moment before his death. Xiao Liu'er has been a substitute for his whole life, and his heart only lasted for three days. He has never tasted real love in his life. The favored concubines would lose themselves and become arrogant and willful when they fall into the emperor's love, but Xiao Liu'er has always been rational. She knew in her heart but pretended not to know, and deceived everyone. It was not until the moment before the emperor left that she asked the emperor who I was and asked Concubine Wen if I was Jiao Jiao'er. After watching the ending, my eyes were almost swollen from crying. I couldn't let go of her or the protagonists. I also really admired Xiao Liuer's reason.

Palace Wall-Comments on "Palace Wall Willow"

The novel tells the story of a cute and cute 14-year-old girl from a scholarly family who accidentally entered the palace draft and became popular in the eyes of the emperor. However, she also knew that she was just the shadow of the queen and betrayed the emperor. She only regarded her as the queen's substitute to make up for her uneasy conscience. There is basically no plot of palace fighting in the first half of the novel. It is all about the concubines in the harem enjoying themselves under the leadership of the queen. It is really unique and refreshing! ! ! All women are united like a family and face the outside world. This outsider is the emperor himself, the big pig's hoof. The second half of the novel is a side story, and the tone is more tragic. I saw the love between the emperor and the queen before they entered the palace, I saw the emperor who had been living under the protection of others since he was a child, he saw the queen's three children who died in the power struggle, I saw the frustrated queen who never forgives the emperor, I saw everything she saw, but she just didn't understand it. The heroine who uncovered the truth saw that if the concubines had not entered the palace, they would have had another great future, there would have been another man to be trusted with, and there would have been another family to raise their children with. She also saw that the palace walls were actually just golden birdcages with no freedom. The emperor never favored the heroine all his life, except Mary Suwen; palace fights were rare; in general, they were a group of women, trapped in the palace, but their daily lives were harmonious and beautiful. They all played cards together, read storybooks, ate melon seeds and chatted, like a group of best friends - "The emperor is not worthy of his harem". But if there was no emperor who managed the previous dynasty properly, how could there be such a harmonious and beautiful harem? The love of the country is more important than the beauty. The Ming Emperor is a blessing to the country, but it is a pity for Jiaojiao and all the beauties trapped in the palace. Most girls are not obsessed with love, they have their own little hobbies: Concubine Shu, when she was young, she traveled around the world disguised as a young ranger. After entering the palace, she gained a lot of food skills and became self-taught; A wise concubine who loves housekeeping; The beauty of Song Dynasty wrote so many novels in her life, and she had so many sons and daughters; Concubine De, who likes to raise children, is obviously charming and charming, but she loves to talk like "Tsk, tsk, isn't it?"; Concubine Wen, embroiderer, and costume master. Xiao Liu'er likes to eat, gossip and melon seeds; Beauty Wang, who concentrates on service and misses one person all her life; The late Queen, it is sad that she once loved him, but she is also a little lucky that she did; Pure Concubine, a senior middle-aged fairy, is burdened by her father and son; Concubine Xu De: It's a pity that she was deceived by the emperor. It's a pity that she was born as a girl. If she were in the previous dynasty, she would have been a minister of humerus, or a treacherous minister and traitor who stirred up trouble; Xiao Liu'er has been a sober stand-in all her life, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand. This is the price she paid, but her life can be regarded as prosperous, wealthy, peaceful and happy. After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh, how many people do people need to pass by in their lifetime before they are lucky enough to meet someone who likes each other and stays with them for the rest of their lives. Life is so long, so long that we drift apart in the same bed and in different dreams. Life is also so short, so short that we are so close. From the moment I open my eyes to the moment I close them, it is you. There are still endless feelings, endless chats, and affectionate eyes that I cannot get tired of. From the beginning to the end, how many people have been defeated by the word "end", and for the sake of the word "power", they can't help themselves. When my hair turns gray, I look back on the past and sigh. The stories are all warm, but also full of regrets, unspoken sadness, and full of tears. I only hope that in the next life I will never enter the deep palace walls of this courtyard.

In this deep palace, everyone is pitiful

In fact, Li Xiu obviously liked Shen Yunyao, and the Queen also liked the Emperor. It was just that the Emperor carried the country on his back, while the Queen carried the harem on his back. The childhood sweethearts made a wish to remain a couple for the rest of their lives. Later, one became the emperor and the other became the queen. There were so many shackles between them, and these shackles turned into high walls blocking the queen and the emperor. The palace, with its gold bricks, green tiles, and red paint, originally symbolized splendor and brilliance, but everyone in the world knew that everyone in this deep palace was unhappy, and it was this palace that symbolized splendor that imprisoned them all their lives. Xiao Liuer, Shu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Wen Yuanyuan, Yaoyao... Everyone is obviously very talented, but in the end they all became victims of the emperor and the deep palace of their lives. I hope that in the next life, Li Xiu and Shen Yunyao will not have to sit in this supreme position, and they will not have to lose their family for everyone. I hope that these concubines can sit on the wall of the courtyard covered with ivy and play leaf cards. Some cook, some make trouble, some housekeepers, some teach children, some make clothes, some write storybooks... I hope they all have someone who can love them all their lives.

Palace wall willow

The willows on the palace wall, the willows on the palace wall, poked their heads out in a daze, and caught a glimpse of the two people's infatuated love. They were angry that they would not fight in the wind, but fortunately they were protected by friends, had good food, good clothes, and the story unfolded. After the wind and rain, I turned white and laughed at the ivy. I will only be a willow if I don't enter the palace wall in the future. I hope whoever is delicate will be the prettiest! I don't know who shed tears, but I hid the regret for several years.

This is a rare ancient Chinese novel that does not describe the struggle for favor in the harem. Both Concubine Shu and Wen Zhaoyi are very clear-eyed, straightforward and cute. From the beginning, they did not like the scumbag emperor who was merciful but the most ruthless. Not only did he secretly call him the emperor, he also gave him the broken screen and failed dishes. He was willful and cute.

Comment - Jiang Yingliu

The saddest thing is not being drunk, but being sober. Jiang Yingliu clearly understood, but he pretended to be his sweetheart in a confused way. Decades ago, Liu'er entered the palace at the age of 14. At the same age as Hua, a young girl had her first love. If you can be like Liu'er and meet a handsome, handsome person, he will say "Jiao Jiao Er" to you tenderly and affectionately, how can you not be moved? They all say you are not smart, but you are so smart, your heart beats for only three days, and you are sober and transparent. Decades later, I thought you were the happiest woman in the harem, with your concubines supporting you, and all your descendants living in peace and happiness. But I didn't expect that you would also be upset. Have you ever lost yourself in the "Jiao Jiao Er" over and over again? Although the harem is good and the emperor is good, the husband is not. Willows on the palace wall, willows on the palace wall, if there is an afterlife, it is better not to meet in the harem. There is a saying that says, "It seems that after a long journey, after a long journey, I finally have the heartache of dust falling to the ground." This sentence is very similar to Liu'er, but I hope Jiang Yingliu is the happiness of dust settling.

The author uses the plainest words to interpret a story without a story. As Mrs. Song said before she died, some people in the palace have no story before they start a story. The special thing about this book is that it is originally Gong Douwen, but Xinzi has nothing to do with it. Xiao Liuer said: "I am not stupid enough to be my true self in front of the emperor." People say she is stupid, but she is not stupid at all. She is also attracted by the emperor, but when the emperor calls her "Yao Yao", she is so "silly" that she quietly becomes a substitute. She also wants to ease the relationship between the emperor and the empress. The queen came forward and said that he asked her to play Feng Qianhuang, and he wrote to her, "We live together in Changqian, and the two childhood sweethearts guess." The queen knew, "Xiao Liu'er, you are such a good boy." She had been a stand-in in front of the emperor for decades. The emperor said many things to her, but only three words were said to her. When the emperor died, she asked Concubine Wen who she was. She probably didn't want anyone to use her as a substitute. The feelings of the emperor and empress are regrettable but should be so. He didn't say that Yaoyao's eldest son was killed by Mrs. Xu, and he didn't say that his eldest daughter died in vain. Just like Yaoyao said, "He knows it, but he has more important things to do." It was true that the deep love was true at the beginning, and it is true now. Arou said, "He is a good emperor, but he is not a good man." Ah Rou and Concubine Wen are both very smart girls. Arou first entered the Prince's Mansion when Xu was proud. She went through a lot of experiences from a girl who only knew how to wield a knife and a gun to cooking all kinds of delicacies. One of them was cooking, the other was doing embroidery, helping Yaoyao and holding Xiao Liuer. There is also Concubine De, her wish is just to "find an ordinary son to marry, he can be a leisurely official, don't need too much money, give birth to four children, two boys, two girls, a happy and beautiful family." She also said, "In the next life... I want to plant ivy in my yard. If you pass by a yard with ivy on the wall, remember to knock on the door and ask me for a bowl of water." In this deep palace, there is the gentle Queen Yaoyao, the concubine A Rou who is a good cook, the concubine Wen who is good at embroidery, the silly little Liu'er who competes with Jiale for food, the concubine Xian who is a good housekeeper, the concubine De who has a lot of experience in raising children, the talkative Song Zhaoyi, who is very presentable, and the gentle and lovely beauty Wang. Without the emperor, what a warm and harmonious family it would be.
