After reading it, Concubine Xian Zhong is the white moonlight of my life
It's been a long time since I read a novel. I didn't expect to find one that suited my liking as soon as I read it. I finished two of them in one go. I had imagined a long time ago that if I traveled to ancient times and became a prince, I would work hard to govern the country and spend my life with the beautiful sister I wanted. Mrs. Rong's Little Twelve is like a completely sublimated version of my imagination. I can't love her anymore. The best thing about my wife is that she won't abuse the protagonist. Yes, I think Xiao Twelve is really lucky to have the author's own mother and concubine Shu. She has been steady and steady all the way without losing her wits. It's not easy to finally get through it now. In any case, she has fulfilled her wish and brought Daqi back to its prosperous age. It can be seen that many dynasties have merged, but it feels more like the Song Dynasty. The big coward finally stood up! Fulfilled the long-cherished wish to wash away the national humiliation. During the reform period, I couldn't help but remember history (??ω??) Xiao Twelve can be said to be my most ideal person. He is career-minded and not trapped by love. Who doesn't like a child who is dedicated to the country and the people? He is kind, kind, hard-working and motivated. He is also smart and humble. He has all the virtues I like (Mrs. Rong, you are amazing, perfect for my taste). He has the help of noble people throughout his life and has an untroubled nature. At first, he came here to wear women as men, but then Xiao Twelve was gradually assimilated and completely adapted to the male body (~ ̄△ ̄)~ All the characters in it have distinct personalities, so I'll just pick the ones that impressed me the most. In the full deputy CP, the relationship between the fourth prince and Miss Zuo that runs through both parts really shocked me, especially in the emperor. Before I knew that the fourth prince was an undercover agent, I was really worried and sad. I was worried about Qingshu's safety and sad about their friendship. But in fact it was not very deep. I thought it was a pity that Xiao Twelve lost another relative, and lamented his persistence towards Zuo Da. Later, during the confrontation between the two armies, he sacrificed his life for the country. I burst into tears for his righteousness and for his regretful love with Zuo Da. What makes me feel the most distressed about Qingshu is not the birth of Xiao Shisi. Maybe it's because I don't have much affection for Concubine Li. I am indifferent to everything, arrogant, and don't like fireworks. Although I showed my concern for Qingshu later, as Qingshu said, she was sorry for the child of Hanxiang Palace. What makes me feel most distressed is that Concubine Shu hugged the pillow and said that Qingshu was not her son. Although there were only a few sentences, I was really heartbroken and felt sorry for Qingshu. Rongyang and Lingyi are my favorite deputy CPs, they are so sweet and beautiful. The most annoying thing is the tenth prince. Hard work Rongda made him so annoying that I wanted to tear his mouth out across the screen. The most surprising thing is that Du Ruo, a time-traveling girl, is so classic and the flavor is so familiar. After learning her identity, it was only true. Among the Qingshu women, the Queen and Concubine Xian, one with a white rose and the other with a red rose, both left traces in Xiao Twelve's heart. Xiao Twelve made money this time. The third one from the left is a regret. When they met when they were young, I thought they would be a couple. I didn't expect that, but that kiss made up for the regret. Finally, in fact, when I saw that Lu Qingshu would still be born, I looked forward to the two meeting and further development. Although it was a happy ending in the end, my burning Narcissus soul, will I have the chance to see the Narcissus episode? QAQ
I finished two movies in one go, and repeatedly savored the clips related to Miaozhu. For the first time, I felt the urge to post a long review about this controversial Miaozhu. Just like Twelve's thoughts, what is special about Miaozhu cannot be explained clearly in a few words. I can only use a running account to try to tell the difference for everyone. Miaozhu was born into a family of imperial doctors, but she was frail since childhood. She was beautiful and extremely precocious. She might have been like Sister Lin, with one more acupoint than Gan, and three points as sick as Xizi. Because they don't know how long they will live, they want to live clearly every day of their lives. Such people will naturally think about themselves and their family early in the morning. The reason for befriending Zuo San is for her own marriage. She is not a boudoir girl who has traveled through time. What other means can she have to control her own destiny? For enlightening her younger brother, she wants to strive for a better future for the family. Although the family of imperial doctors is a good family, in the end they only serve people and cannot be compared to noble nobles. A girl with such a scheming mind is hard to dislike. She might be scheming when approaching Zuo San, but she has been a sister to Zuo San for many years, and Miaozhu must have been sincere when they met her when they were young. With a younger brother who can teach the talents of a cabinet minister, Miaozhu has a similar spirit, so how can Miaozhu be the little daughter of the boudoir who only reads story books? Linglong has a world of her own in her mind. The fate between Miaozhu and Twelve began with the entanglement of the previous generation. Twelve knew the rumors about his life experience since he was a child. He was full of curiosity about this girl from the Zhong family when they first met her when they were young. When they met the young girl Pingting, who was already in her prime, she felt pity for her. Miaozhu also knew the past events early on, and the young and girl who were just starting to fall in love have invisibly become closer to each other because of the secret that no one else knows. They are special to each other. During a conversation after an accidental encounter at a banquet in the Fu Mansion, the two opened up about the secrets of the previous generation. Twelve's sobriety and generosity also made Miaozhu make up her mind that the person in front of her is the lover of this life. A few acquaintances cannot be said to be deep-rooted love, and men and women of the right age to get married have their own plans in mind. Twelve, who aspires to seize the legitimate heir, has to figure out the emperor's thoughts and think about his wife's family background. He only chooses the right one among several high-ranking ladies, but he only thinks about Miaozhu and whether he can repay her affection. And the reputation of the Zhong family has spread all over the capital. There will be no shortage of people who cherish flowers. However, she is as smart as a pearl. She knows that her beauty and weak body will not escape the house war in her life, so she might as well fight for her own future. Rather than betting on Twelve's future, she is betting on Twelve's feelings for her. After falling into the water, Twelve confessed their feelings to each other. For the first time, Twelve recognized Miaozhu's intentions under the weak and fragile appearance of Liu Fufeng. After Miaozhu also understood Twelve's worries, she knew that she must have made the right bet. Even though she had high aspirations, her words "I have admired His Highness for a long time", just like her approach to Zuo San when she was young, must be somewhat sincere. It is precisely because of some sincerity that even if you are used to being humble and petty, you will avoid the child in the soup on the wedding night, you will deliberately neglect the newlyweds, and you will be as smart as a pearl. You must be a little sad while being considerate, otherwise you would not curl up and sleep alone on the couch. But fortunately, he is as smart as a pearl, and can read the vague and absent emotions under the twelve forbearances. If he is seeking love, he will make a long-term plan for himself. Miaozhu was naturally frightened when Ye Mansion was in danger, and her reputation was in danger, but fortunately she was treated considerately by Twelve. Although the opportunity of the southern tour required some means of showing weakness, the two of them were together for half a year, and they were naturally affectionate. She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to Jingting. What she wanted was to look at each other forever, and what she never said out loud was the "only". An ordinary man has three wives and four concubines, let alone the twelve after Yuji. The emperor naturally has three palaces and six courtyards. Among the palaces, Miaozhu chose Xiangle Palace. She had her own explanation, but when she thought about it, she was somewhat concerned about the third one from the left. She knows why Twelve married Zhaoping Na Baozhang, and she must also know why Twelve abandoned Zuo San and why he intersected with Zuo San. She may not care about the beauties in the harem, but she cannot help but care about where Twelve's love goes and who her confidant is. An emperor's harem is no different from an ordinary house. Its foundation is as weak as a pearl, so it should take more effort to plan and protect itself. She walked on thin ice to maintain the queen, carefully entrusting her father, who was an imperial doctor, to avoid suspicion, and always protecting the concubine to dispel the thoughts of others; she made good friends with the people she could be friends with, and took the initiative to help Mu. She felt empathy for Ning Taifei and Wan Yun and helped each other. As smart as a pearl, he can deal with others easily, but when facing Twelve, he will inevitably lose his bearings occasionally. Twelve used Twelve's mouth to stop her concubine's inappropriate thoughts, Twelve asked her why she didn't tell the truth, but she admitted her mistake but did not defend herself; Twelve accepted the newlyweds' night and cried out to her father, but she made an exception and sent someone to send a message for a long time without any reply. For the first time in the Third Palace and Sixth Courtyard, she felt aggrieved and resentful about being left out, but she did not dare to question Twelve She could only feel lonely secretly; the British Duke disturbed her late at night and learned the secret of the great relationship between Youtian, but she felt relieved because she figured out the reason why Twelve neglected their mother and son that night; when she told Twelve the news of the British Duke's visit, what the two of them cared about most was indeed the unintentional whisper they had made many years ago, "Isn't she just a concubine?" I'm not that rare." Unintentional words are naturally untrustworthy. As for the reasons for untrustworthiness, Miaozhu's rational analysis was clear and logical, but as soon as the emotional words were mentioned, Twelve immediately covered Miaozhu's affectionate eyes. True love is hard to find in the harem, but for an emperor like Twelve who puts the world first and has experienced the dire straits of the palace, true love should not exist and cannot be said. But what shouldn't happen happened. When Miaozhu collapsed, Twelve couldn't cover her eyes when she saw no one. However, how could he not know the panic in his heart? He couldn't help but ask Miaozhu why he didn't tell the truth frankly. How could he not know it. And how can the things that cannot be said be kept unknown to others? How can others not know the thoughts of a person who ignores common things, such as Concubine Lin, and how can others suppress the sourness that a virtuous and virtuous person like Song Zhaoping can feel. But since Twelve believes that he should not have and cannot talk about it, Miaozhu is also willing to accompany him Zhouquan. Since the plot has been won, she just wants not to embarrass him. Therefore, she silently bore the rumors, wind, frost, and swords, and cried alone when she was sad, not wanting to distract him; he deliberately controlled the number of visits to Xiangle Palace, and she did not take the initiative to look for him in the front hall, keeping the unspeakable tacit understanding; she knew that he did not want his children to kill each other, so she always followed the rules and taught Jingting to let her son be of the same mind; Everyone knows Twelve's thoughts, but Miaozhu's thoughts become increasingly unknown. Others only knew that she was a woman who clung to dragons and phoenixes, served people with sex, and was as clear-cut as Princess Lin, who warned her that extreme wisdom would lead to harm. In the end, even Twelve wondered whether she loved her power or herself as a person. It's strange that Miaozhu hid it too well. Even though she knew she didn't have much time left, her final indulgence was just to drink a few glasses of wine and say a few pretentious words under the influence of wine. It was far less sincere than Du Ruo's confession, but fortunately the listener took it into his heart. Many years ago, the two spent a rare day and night together on the southern tour, and their love gradually grew, and it was here that the two finally became honest with each other many years later. At the moment of separation, Miaozhu lost all her thoughts, and Twelve also put aside her worries. At the age of forty, one has the world in his heart, and the other "serves people with sex" has exhausted his body and mind. I hope to steal a few days of leisure in the floating life, and I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals. I just wonder if Miaozhu wanted to have her face hidden like Mrs. Li before she died? I don't know how Twelve will express his love for me in the more than thirty years after I left.
Wow, I burst into tears, so Concubine Xian died of illness in the end. Thank you so much for not writing it down. I really couldn't bear it.
It felt very sad and I cried several times. The Sixth Prince is so stunning but like a flower that blooms and fades as quickly as it blooms. I am deeply impressed by the words of the Ninth Prince. Yes, time is passing and people are forgetting. After all, no one will remember him. But in the end it was revenge. The fourth brother is also dead. Maybe since the prince came after him, he knew how important the fourth brother was to Xiao Twelve. The fourth brother was defeated by the word "love" in his life, and now he finally chose the justice of the country, but he still went back for his sweetheart, even though he knew he would die. The old emperor might be a little confused, but he was also glad that the son he chose did better than him. He had loved Xiao Twelve since he was a child. Before he died again, he remembered to ask Xiao Twelve to remember not to be too tight and to relax. In fact, sometimes I really feel that Miss Zuo is a disaster because of her beauty, and I even feel a little angry about her. I'm thinking that if it hadn't been for her, my fourth brother might not have died. She also resented the ancestral rule that "daughters of the Zuo family are not allowed to be concubines." The fourth brother ascended the throne because of Miss Zuo, but he also stepped down because of Miss Zuo.
Doesn't anyone like Yu Guifei Fu Baozhang? It's really cute. She looks like a stupid beauty, but she is actually transparent and casual, so cute.
It's so easy to tell that Yifei likes Xiao Zhong.
After watching Pei Qingshu's life in a few days, I still feel that I am still unsatisfied. I laughed and cried while watching it. I was so absorbed in it that I always felt depressed.
Silently complaining, if Miaozhu was as perfect as some people hoped, Twelve wouldn't like her so much. It is precisely because she has no ambition, does not want to be a queen, and is somewhat sincere to Twelve that Twelve likes her. Twelve doesn't need a well-organized and extremely capable concubine at all, right?
Why is Concubine Xian so controversial? ! I really like her and feel sorry for her. If Twelve was born in an ordinary family, they would definitely create a good story.
