[She is the current emperor's younger sister, a princess of the imperial dynasty, born to wealth and privilege. She is a pearl lost among the people, gifted in all six arts.
They say that since ancient times, poets have found it easy to write well of hardship, but difficult to capture joy.
Whether an emperor rules the world or a statesman is famed across the Nine Provinces, all things flow away like water to the east. Right and wrong, success and failure, all pass in an instant. Only with one's beloved by one's side is history worth reading.
I shall drift away in a little boat and spend the rest of my life on rivers and seas. If not Bianzhou, then Hangzhou. I will go even if ten thousand stand in my way. No matter how many springs come, there is no way to make them stay.]
Reader's Guide: 1. This is a historical novel in the strictest sense. There is a lot of court politics. The author has consulted the History of Song, the Long Draft, various Song Dynasty texts, and academic papers, and has also written original poetry. You'll find many anecdotes from historical records and literary works. Some words may be unfamiliar because they come from historical documents and classical writing.
2. The plot follows the history from the Xining to Yuanfeng eras under Emperor Shenzong. The romance is the main thread, with court politics as the hidden thread. It has a serious tone. The main romance begins in Volume Two, so readers who are here for the love story can skip the court politics.
3. The author wrote this story out of affection for the Daoist Emperor, Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji. It tells the love story of his parents. Some regard Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi as a wise ruler and worthy minister, lamenting that Shenzong died young. Others call Shenzong a foolish ruler and Wang Anshi a treacherous minister, and say that the Northern Song fell because of Shenzong. The true history is more complicated. Our task is to begin with history as it first unfolded.
4. The author loves the Shenzong era because so many of the best-known figures in Song history lived then. The story features Su Zhe, Chao Buzhi, Zeng Bu, Lü Huiqing, Li Ping, Li Gonglin, Guo Xi, Wang Guan, Zhang Dun... There are countless famous figures from the Shenzong era!
Theme: Discovering the elegance and grace of the Song Dynasty through history
Long lost message! I am a fan of the previous one who posted long comments, and I have indeed been a Dajiji believer for a long time. To make a long story short, my friends and I created doujinshi on related themes. The original intention of our creation is to record the footprints of ancient and modern people, and at the same time present them to other enthusiasts for appreciation. Because the cost of printing is not high, I would like to give you a copy as a tribute and return gift for the grain production. I see you haven't been active on Weibo for a year, and I don't use it much. Although this is a public platform, I still want to leave a message here after thinking about it. However, it is inconvenient to fill in the contact information (maybe the content itself will be deleted), but I still want to try my best to let you see it first. If you do happen to read this message, could you please reply? Thank you so much!
If you plant one, it will produce many updated chapters.
Throw flowers to celebrate the completion, great work, great! Ps. I'm curious if you know that your own mother is still there. .
I actually gave birth to two more children, really good at giving birth. . . Where is my sister? Don't even show your face?
She is really my Yuanyuan's biological mother. The author can write an article for Brother Shi and Dan'er.
What happened when Princess Yanxi fell into the water?
Who is Zheng Xing? I don't even remember it, so look through the previous chapters.
I feel sorry for this couple. . .
How could Sister Zhu become like this? She is short-sighted, selfish and mean. All the small shortcomings in the past were magnified and magnified, and his considerate, gentle and gentle temperament was no longer seen. How scary. I liked her very much before! The desire for power is really a gap that cannot be filled, and all feelings are wiped out.
I'm so cruel to Ji'er. .
