Zhou Ciyu was born in a family of a fifth-rank official, but she was a famous mistress in Kyoto. She is graceful, elegant and dignified. She married into the Xie family of Marquis Chongwu at the age of seventeen. From an unknown daughter of a minor official, she became a second-rank imperial concubine.
Since she entered the family, her family in Xie Jinzhou has been peaceful and her official career has been prosperous. Everyone praises Zhou Ciyu as the virtuous mistress of Jingshen IKEA.
But no one knew the pain in her heart.
Xie Jinzhou was busy with military affairs and only returned home once every few months. The mother-in-law said she was ill and she was responsible for all the marriage affairs of her brother-in-law. The eldest son, who is five years old, has recently fallen in love with rouge and gouache, while the younger daughter, Zhua Zhou, took the hoe that was farthest away from her. Everyone murmured that Zhou Ciyu's son looked like Jiao'e and his daughter looked like a farmer.
On the day of my mother-in-law's fiftieth birthday, there were a lot of guests. The little girl at home took advantage of the chaos to have a private meeting with her lover. Before Zhou Ciyu could take care of her, Xie Jinzhou told her that she would return to the military camp tomorrow morning.
Unable to hold on any longer, she drank a glass of wine, rushed to the stage, and drove away the actors.
Everyone knows that Zhou Ciyu has outstanding eloquence, so she just wants to tell some interesting stories to spice up the conversation.
Zhou Ciyu spoke:
"When people talk about vixens, they always think they are women. I am the first to refuse! Xie Jinzhou stays in the military camp and goes home once in March or May. There must be vixens there. I just hope he is not the one who sticks out the hook..."
"When my daughter arrested Zhou, she grabbed a hoe and scared her grandmother to tears, fearing that she would marry a poor peasant in the future. I don't think so, maybe she will go to work in the fields herself in the future."
"The day before yesterday, my mother called me to Guining and asked me to ask my husband to come and look at the feng shui of our house. Why does my son love rouge and my daughter grabs farm tools? Actually, there is no need to look. It is probably the vixen who is causing trouble. If my son inherits his father's business in the future, Xie Jinzhou and I will probably have more eldest daughters."
The ladies booed, saying that Zhou Ciyu should not talk about childishness.
Zhou Ciyu stared: "This is strange! I am talking in front of the wives for fun, and I can't talk about the children. So how can someone use the death of someone else's daughter to falsely accuse her of being evil and accuse her of poisoning her own daughter in order to gain the throne?"
She said seriously: "It seems that mothers in the world may not really love their children, but people outside love other people's children more."
Zhou Ciyu had the Dali Temple locked up for a day because of his incomprehensible words. When she was released from prison, she found out that it was Concubine Jiang Shu who saved her.
*
The youngest daughter of Concubine Shu, Jiang Zhao, died before her first birthday.
Rumors spread in the palace:
One theory is that Queen Jia was jealous of her favor and secretly murdered her.
One theory is that Concubine Jiang Shu killed her daughter with her own hands in order to seize the throne.
When Jiang Zhao was at a loss what to do, he heard from the palace people that Mrs. Chongwu Hou spoke up for her and was imprisoned.
Jiang Zhao wants to be the queen. Therefore, she needs a spokesperson who can win the hearts of the mistresses.
He who has his mistress and mother will have his servants. Those who win the title of minister will ascend the phoenix throne.
Decades later, Jiang Zhao finally ascended to the throne. Behind her, stood a group of women.
Demining:
1. The story of Zhou Ciyu and Jiang Zhao resonating on the same frequency, with not many emotional lines. They all have their own male guests.
2. Make up history and create mountains of private buildings. Speech is relatively free, the parents are short-lived, and the stories of women inside and outside the palace. There are palace fights and house fights, which are fun to watch but don't take them seriously.
3. A short story with a realistic ending. I will remind you in announcements and speeches which chapter can be used as a HE ending. The final ending is rather dark.
Purpose: Equality
