Content warning: For most of the story, the emperor doesn't love the heroine, and the heroine doesn't love the emperor. The heroine does not become the empress dowager. The tone of Volumes One and Two differs somewhat from that of Volumes Three and Four. The first two volumes are more leisurely, while the last two have many character deaths.

Theme:
(N brush long review) Different from various previous palace battles, the gentle "The Legend of the Princess of Qin" tells us about the growth process of the heroine. After Shen Lingjia, the son of the people, entered the palace, he rose through the ranks step by step relying on his extraordinary wisdom, vision and means, supported his family, raised his children, and finally enjoyed his old age. I often wonder why ancient heroines are either strong or powerful heroines, or why the whole world loves them? External additions are not the real strength, but the self-confidence and self-esteem from within can make the heroine stand up and go on. The heroine Shen Lingjia is not as stunning as Shen Yuluoyan. The tutor's aunt commented that she is "not tall, but her charm is contained within" - no one can see her except the emperor. Her family background is just that of a scholar from Jinling County. Her low-ranking background and the chance to enter the palace happened to give the heroine a good place to fight monsters, upgrade and gain experience. There are always give-and-take on the road to growth. Many people will abandon those around them to achieve themselves, while many people will support each other and move forward step by step. For example, Shen Lingjia and Xiao Shi, from the feelings of fellow villagers to the meaning of helping, have gone through ups and downs and finally become friends of life and death; Also like Empress Zang and Ban Huer, the meaning of taking care of and the love of helping; Xifu and Xilu, the common people share weal and woe; There are also some special friendships, such as Lu Wenze and Shen Lingjia, competitors catalyzed by political ideals; Murong Dianchun and Shen Lingjia, big and small foxes who seek mutual benefit. Princess Shugong and Shen Lingjia, the everlasting friendship that never gives up in times of adversity, etc... There are also some pure and sincere feelings such as the brother-sister love of Yulang Yueniang, the brotherhood of Yulang Zhenlang, the sincere love of the young master Sigui, the admiration of Mao Nanxing and Shugong, the loyal servant of Lily Narcissus to Shen Lingjia, and even Princess Roufu's care for her younger brother, all of which help the heroine grow up. No one's life is smooth sailing. Human beings are social animals, and emotional support is the biggest help to go forward. These help not only moved the heroine, but also deeply moved me outside the book - deep palaces and high walls, people are unpredictable, but they can still support each other, how rare it is! Wen Wen Xiaoyi also has a good description and ambush of the major forces in the background of the story. Jinling, Shen Jingzhao, Wei Shouzhou, Lu Dali, Duan Langya, Wang Fuchunyu, etc., Presented us with colorful and full characters. What I admire the most is Shen Lingjia's two workshops in Jiaxing, teaching the palace people to read, and promoting the status of women. This is not only Shen Lingjia's belief and ambition, but also the author's own ideals and pursuits. The status of a woman does not mean that she is favored by her husband, or that everyone loves her. She is the one who has status, and is fundamentally knowledgeable and insightful. She can hold up half the sky, and can benefit a land and water. The ancients said: Use your beauty to serve people, and when your beauty fades, your love will flourish. This has been the case since ancient times. I probably come back and read "The Legend of the Princess" every time when I'm waiting for the update of "The Princess". Every time I read it, I find something new that moves me or makes me think deeply. The writing is not good, so I wrote a long review like my thoughts on the reading question (actually I still have a lot to say in my heart. When did the author add Weibo friends to others), in short, I highly recommend this author to me! I hope you can update 30,000 words a day in Jinjiang! Your career has skyrocketed by 90,000 miles!
The author may have underestimated the allure of the royal family. An imperial concubine is also a concubine of the royal family. In the Ming Dynasty, the granddaughter of the founding hero and the legitimate daughter of Wu Dinghou also became a concubine for the prince, not to mention the emperor's concubine.
Although, the Shen family did make their fortune through Shen Lingjia's entry into the palace. As a result, she doesn't mention her contribution now, as if wealth and honor are all earned by the men of the Shen family.
Shen Lingyi also has a concubine. He remembered that Feng Xiaowan had just been betrothed to him at the beginning.
I finished it in one go, it's so beautiful
The brain is a good thing, but the stupid emperor doesn't have it.
This emperor is really... How stupid!!! Even if you want to do something, you can't do it with something that comes out of your hands. Oh my god! You have to force yourself into someone else's territory. How stupid do you have to be to commit murder on someone else's territory?!
The emperor is so stupid, so stupid, giving away the country. King Qin cupped his fists and saluted: Thank you very much! Good brother!
Wow, this maid dares to say this. The one named Shu is still resentful. Ling Jia is the concubine, the legitimate concubine of the late emperor, the biological mother of King Qin, the old lady, and an elder. Do the person named Shu and her maid still think that Ling Jia should look at her face? Should she be given face? Not to mention that parents in ancient times were not guilty of killing their daughter-in-law, and they were not guilty of saying that their daughter-in-law was disrespectful. What kind of person was she just a concubine?! Concubines can be bought and sold. Even if they are gifts from the emperor, they cannot be bought or sold. If someone strangles her to death with a rope and is seriously ill, can the emperor still pursue her? Shu feels very good about himself, right?
To be honest, for such a group of elites to marry three wives, they must all be smart people. The queen is smart and capable, Murong is smart, and the concubine chosen by Empress Lu is probably not stupid. The only fool in the palace is the little emperor, who will definitely follow his mother, and even his wives have given up on him. There are also the sons of Xi Fa, King Dali, King Yan, and Queen Lu's sons. King Qin is not stupid, that's all.
