Tong Hu is really pitiful, she is just a woman because the emperor doted on her and all the concubines bullied her, and her son was later hated by others. Well
No. 1
Haha, why is there no one with such a beautiful book? ! !
This book is mainly about the relationship history of three generations of male protagonists. The knowledge point in the middle is the poetry when writing love poems. Most of them are the kind of arrangement of sentences, which seems to be clearly arranged.
This book was written a thousand years ago by a female aristocrat in Japan to amuse the royal family. It is similar to the book Shangguan Wan'er wrote for Wu Zetian.
It reflects the characteristics of historical development by describing the corrupt politics and licentious life of the upper class more than 900 years ago, and it has a lot of vocabulary in terms of sensibility.
