Synopsis
In the spring of the seventh year of Jianlong's reign, it was extremely cold, and the begonias in the palace garden were sparsely blooming. The ten-year-old prince Zhao Min knelt on the cold bluestone and recited "I'm sorry for my parents, who worked so hard to give birth to me" over and over again. In the Nuan Pavilion, the silhouette of his doting mother and young brother and the indifference of his father as he walked away formed a bottomless cold well in his heart. Until a plain white orchid grass veil, accompanied by falling flowers from the sky, fell at his feet - and also floated into his lonely world. At this moment, Xiang Congyi, the daughter of the Privy Councilor, quietly walked into his heavy life like a touch of light blue. Her eyes were as dark as jade, and she had a noble demeanor. She could see the endless grievances beneath his stubborn posture at a glance. A meeting between children under a begonia forest, an exchange of names, has since touched the threads of the Song Dynasty and the emperor's mood for decades to come. He, Zhao Min, grew up in blood and suspicion. From a neglected prince to an emperor who seized the throne with an iron fist, he was a "fierce dragon" feared by both the government and the public. He liquidated his brothers, imprisoned his mother, and bloodbathed the court. His methods were cruel and his character was suspicious, but deep down in his heart he always retained all the tenderness and dependence for one person. She, Xiang Congyi, married into the East Palace as the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, and eventually became the queen alongside him. She is not only his interpreter, but also the toughest "kill-stopping layer" under his violent thunder, and the "scabbard" for the sword hanging above the heads of the ministers. In the court, she can calm people's hearts and balance the forces with her excellent wisdom; in front of the army, she dares to block arrows with her body, winning the respect of the soldiers. She is clear-headed and sober, not only understands the emperor's mind, but also has a benevolent heart to help the world. This is not a simple story about an emperor's special favor, but a profound bond about "salvation" and "achievement". He is a ferocious dragon who will completely sink into the abyss of power and loneliness if he loses her. She is the only phoenix that can soothe his soul and stabilize the world of thousands of miles. When the Tangli tree where they met when they were young blooms like snow again, what will be recorded in the historian's writings will not only be Emperor Zhao Min's civil and military skills, but also his congruence with virtuous queens, a period that began in a young age, was devoted to power, and returned to sincerity - half of the country, and they will stay together for the rest of their lives. Satisfied: young acquaintance, well-matched, childhood sweethearts, emperor's marriage, marriage first, love later, young empress, fighting side by side, sharing the joys and sorrows, deep love, premature death in the white moonlight, gentle and understanding flower, sister-like feeling in the younger years, emotional redemption, childhood sweethearts, full of children and grandchildren, guiding lover, heroic beauty, soul mate. Purpose: The best relationship between an emperor and an empress is one of equal strength and mutually beneficial confidants, rather than one-sided dependence.
