“I'm truly an ill-omened man,” Kangxi said.
Emperor Kangxi, founder of the last prosperous era in modern Chinese history, ascended the throne at the age of eight and died at sixty-nine. His life was full of legends, and people still take an interest in it a century later.
Arranged by year, this book follows the annalistic style to recount the twenty most dazzling years of Kangxi's life. Beneath the empire's prosperity, factional strife never ceased. Yet the concubines of the inner palace and the officials of the outer court all became pieces in Kangxi's game of power. In the strange and dazzling world of the palace, Liuxia, like Kangxi, of mixed Manchu, Mongol, and Han heritage, reaches his hardened heart through family ties, friendship, and love. When the cold, ruthless power of the emperor meets the ordinary warmth of family affection, a romance unfolds between emperor and consort.
Drawing on Qing-dynasty miscellanies, official records, daily court diaries, memoirs, and scholarly works, this book selects authentic sources from multiple perspectives to portray life in the prosperous age of Kangxi.

Why can't I understand this chapter? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I really like this ending, maybe I still can't bear it, so the moment I lost my hair, I felt heartbroken, but also happy. I really like Won Henry-jeong's imperfections, but it's not easy to do what she does. Thank you to the author. If life is just like the first meeting, and then after seeing it, you will think about the demons in your heart, and there will be thousands and thousands of them in your life, but the author can make the flaws come and go clean, and leave a ray of clouds to shine in the sunset, which is infinitely better, and it is really cleansing and transparent. Thank you, keep it.
Goldfish is big, let's lift the ban after Chapter 42! My heart is itching, but I can't see it!
What is the word □? So serious! Cannot be displayed!
He can go to Xiannongtan and watch the eunuchs farm and cultivate his "one-third of an acre of land"
Thank you Xiao Yun for your suggestion
1. Si Si's scene, alas~~ It's because he is so popular, and there are Tang Guoqiang and Yue Hehe in front, who don't dare to touch each other, so I didn't write more about him and Thirteen. In fact, they are my favorites... (Thirteen Master~~~)
2. As for the fights in the harem... Actually, I think the palace fights in the Qing Dynasty were not serious compared to other dynasties. Since the Song Dynasty, the issue of ancestral family law has been a tight curse between the emperor and the royal family. The ancestral family law in the Qing Dynasty is much heavier than before. What the concubines can do is quite limited. If the situation in the late Qing Dynasty had not been the biggest change in history, I think even the old lady Cixi would have been hard-pressed to make a difference. The time in the world of mortals was during the healthiest era of Kangxi. Generally speaking, the system of the harem was roughly established, and the queen mother was still on top. The eunuchs were the emperor's eyes and ears, and the concubines were very limited in their calculations. Therefore, many Qing palace texts described the Qing palace as a killing field, as if they would be dragged to death as soon as they stepped out of their palace gates. This is actually an exaggeration. A palace with a stable external situation operates by its own rules.
Therefore, what I repeatedly emphasized in the Imperial Concubine volume is not actually the heroine's wisdom and martial prowess. She is just a concubine who takes charge of affairs with the help of the group of eunuchs and the imperial power behind the eunuchs. To put it bluntly, she is just a puppet. It is not the female protagonist who resolves disputes easily. The Lord, she holds the final power of interpretation. Under extreme power, the concubines cannot resist, because the heroine always stands under the umbrella of "ancestral family law". To resist her is to go against the ancestral family law. Who is so stupid to poke this hornet's nest?
As for the style of Er Yue He... Mainly because I am too familiar with Uncle Er Er He's books, just like I am too familiar with Zhang Ailing. There is indeed a style between the two of them between the lines, but writing is a process of imitation, breaking, and reshaping. Now I am experiencing breaking, and I am still thinking about how to find my own style.
As for my approach to the world of mortals, I approach history from an emotional perspective and explore the process of how people, or relationships, operate under the system. When people are thrown into the system, there must be a period of adjustment, and then they have their own way of adapting. When they climb up the system, they change the system to suit themselves. This concept is mainly because the field of my research is the history of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was an era of institutional reshaping. The Tang Dynasty formulated a lot of rituals, laws and other cold and rigid things. However, in the Tang Dynasty, there were many people who violated the system, and bravely violating the system was worthy of praise in the Tang Dynasty. This whole thing is really funny. When writing The Red Dust, I discovered that the Kangxi Dynasty was also an era of making rituals and making music, but what was lacking was people who had the courage to challenge the system. Therefore, the process of the integration of people's hearts, human feelings, and the system in the Kangxi era is more interesting to discuss.
Finally, regarding the VIP issue, Hong Chen has already been published, so I still made a little money. If VIP can make the author make money, it probably requires a super high click-through rate like the Spring Festival Gala and Wei Shuaiwang. I feel that the book has been published, and the money should be taken. I don't really care about it~~~ Of course, some readers are worried about me, saying that if everything is opened up, I will lose the customer base of physical books, um... But I hope that my book is not fast food literature, not the kind of book that will not be read again after reading it once and knowing the story. I hope that it can be read and reread, and each time it is read, it will have different levels. If it can really show such a feeling, it will naturally be taken home to read at any time. Therefore, I have covered a lot of social and cultural things, and also thrown a lot of information into it, so that readers who are interested in understanding the Qing Dynasty can read it further. I think this is more important than VIP.

It was really heartbreaking to see the letter written by Kangxi~~~~~~~~~~A good emperor was ruined like this~~~~~~~~~Ever since that woman became a monk, he started to suffer from illness, how pitiful Yeah~~~~~~~~~~~ If you give more in the world of love, the one you let go of later will definitely suffer the most. Kangxi, a good emperor, is not immune to this. He feels that he is attracted by a woman, but he still thinks he is very serious. The woman he was treating was abandoned. When so many people couldn't keep their respects and lost their face, it was okay to forget about the shame. At least they kept the person. In the end, the person was not kept and the face was gone. How many people watched this scene. A legendary story in later generations appeared like this~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought that the author's classmate should leave a son or daughter with a blemish to classmate Kangxi. I was surprised to keep a cat, but it was still a cat that could bite people. When I saw the bite mark on the emperor's hand, I wondered if Kangxi had been bitten by a cat and contracted some kind of parasite or microbial disease~~~~~~~~~~~~ It would be great if the two of them had a child, at least someone would communicate with him and let Kangxi transfer his love for his mother to the child, and I would feel relieved~~~~~~~~I thought that letter was the last chapter, so bitter~~~~~~~~~~~Fortunately, there are several chapters to come. Adjusting the mood, I feel that this is the best ending for their relationship. Living in that palace will only increase the resentment and suspicion between them. This is the best. They are separated, but they miss each other and remember only the good things of each other. Seeing things and missing people, the real torment is the emperor's classmate~~~~~~~~~So Liu Xia is a smart woman, this is much better than the woman who spends all day longing for the stars and the moon in her own palace
The part about feelings is so beautifully written
