There will probably be people who will refute that I don't understand love. That's why I don't write about love in my novels because I haven't experienced it before. Besides, love is also a kind of emotion. It can't be faked and needs both parties to manage it well.
Love isn't a reason for a person to be lawless or do bad things. In my opinion, it's not just love. Friendship and family are also the same. They can't be faked and need to be managed well. Only then can people live in harmony.
Some people will find it strange. Isn't it tiring to pretend in front of people who are familiar with you? But do you really understand the people around you? How many people can't even remember their parents' birthdays and have to rely on the calendar on their phone? They don't even know their parents' birthdays. For most people, it's the people who have lived with them for the longest time.
If you used your true nature as an excuse to act recklessly and unscrupulously, or blurt out hurtful words in your head, no matter how deep your feelings were, they would be completely destroyed. The person who loved you would be completely bitterly disappointed.
You have to pretend in front of people you care about.
Back to novels, I also don't understand why there are so many romance novels in the guise of palace fighting. Palace fighting and house fighting are all about fighting. Isn't it about the willful good and evil exposed under the scheming and scheming? Many palace fighting novels, in the end, I feel that the fighting is unreasonable. The people in the novels are like children who can't get candy.
Love is that candy. I remember Miss Jin Xing's words: Now that technology is advanced, many young girls receive the following messages on their phones.
If a man tells you to drink more water when you are sick, remember to take medicine and have a good rest. If a man tells you to be careful when you get off work and go home early. If a man says good morning when you wake up early and remember to eat breakfast, then you will definitely tell your daughter not to be with him.
Instead, you will choose the man who will make breakfast for you, pick you up from work and take you to the hospital.
A man, either give me love, give me money or get lost. We are all past the age of only listening to love. Yes, in my opinion, we are all past the age of 18.
I am willing to have a person of my heart and never leave each other.
A lifetime of couples, it sounds beautiful. However, there are three of them in the novel and one of them is a close female friend in a brothel.
In that era, the system was one wife and many concubines. Concubines were not considered people, they were servants. Therefore, in a sense, a wife was indeed a person of one heart, a pair of people. It was a right given to men in that era.
I don't think the male and female protagonists have to be in a relationship. I also don't think that a wise victor who stands out among the princes will be played around by the women in the harem.
Pay attention to the premise here. Wise ones, I've often seen people who would abandon their country at the drop of a hat. They would abandon their country for the sake of a beauty. What's the harm in giving up the world for you? If you weren't the head of a country, you could do whatever you want. But since you're an emperor, you have to bear the weight of the crown.
What do you mean by having no choice, not being able to achieve one's ambition, and not having the talent to be an emperor? In my opinion, these three are all signs of weakness. The first type of person was pushed to the throne by others, controlled by their mother, and controlled by powerful officials. Qin Shi Huang's mother was a hindrance, and Lu Buwei was a dictator. As long as one wanted to, they would be able to escape.
If one did not succeed, it could only be said that they were not capable enough. There were only two reasons: a powerful minister, a strong mother, or weakness.
As for the third type of person, since they have such self-awareness, they might as well give up the throne. The reason was that they had a powerful minister and a strong mother. Couldn't they just admit that they were useless?
In my eyes, the love of an emperor should be Long Ming and Ling Bo in The Immortal 5. In my heart, you will never be more important than Yaksha, but you will definitely be more important than my life!
This sentence instantly pierced my teenage heart. This is what an emperor should be like. Or perhaps, if I were a girl and really transmigrated, this would be the love I hoped for with an emperor.
I wouldn't ask an emperor to choose between his country and a beauty, because the beauty was just one person, but the country involved millions of ordinary people. The most important thing was, if "he" wasn't an emperor, but just an ordinary man, would he love "him"?
It is often said that all people are equal, but the value of a person's life and the value they can create are different. For example, if a woman was assassinated and a gangster was killed, the former would endanger an entire country, while the latter would probably be happy.
Therefore, I hope that the emperor I write about is not a person who only knows romance, only beauty, and only knows the wind, the flower, the snow and the moon.
Don't sing the Song of Everlasting Regret, the world has its own Milky Way. When husband and wife say goodbye in Shichan Village, there are more tears than in the Palace of Eternal Life. — Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei's "Ma Wei"
To an emperor, love is the icing on the cake of his prosperous era. If it is a chaotic era, these beauties and love will either be the emperor's scapegoat or the spoils of war that will be trampled upon.
The love of an emperor is to be able to give the woman he loves the best and safest position within his power. At least, if he fails, he won't cause his beloved to be dragged out and scolded repeatedly by scholars, and won't be demonized by historians.
This is also one of the reasons why I wrote this novel.
PS # 2: The feelings of Ze Huang, Empress Dowager Jin Yue, Empress Dowager Wang, and Madam Ochre.
Empress Dowager Jin Yue was Ze Huang's first wife, and at that time, he was in the state of fighting for the country. Empress Dowager Jin Yue stayed behind and stabilized the rear so that her husband, who was at the frontline, didn't have any worries. Ze Huang respected her more than the feelings between a man and a woman.
Empress Dowager Wang was just an ordinary concubine at that time. Although the Wang family was powerful, she didn't go too far. She was resourceful and accompanied Ze Huang all the way to fighting for the country. They were together day and night, and accompanied each other through life and death. Naturally, their feelings for each other were even more passionate. At that time, Ze Huang also liked her the most.
However, as time passed, Empress Dowager Jin Yue died in an accident. Empress Dowager Wang had two princes and became the head of the harem. Naturally, she had to make plans for herself, her children, and the Wang family behind her.
Sometimes, men were very cheap, especially the emperor. He longed for a woman who stood side by side with him, who was sincere and selfless. He hoped that this woman would meet his aesthetic standards. At the same time, it would be best if she could only rely on him. In other words, her background shouldn't be too strong so that it wouldn't endanger his power.
When Empress Dowager Wang and Ze Huang began to have conflicts of interest, that so-called love began to fade. To Empress Dowager Wang, there was no love. There was still family and friendship. She wasn't a woman who would be addicted to love. Since there was no love, she turned to plan for something else.
Ze Huang naturally wanted to fill his emotional void with other women. At this time, Madam Ochre entered his eyes. At the beginning, Madam Ochre was just a trophy to him, a beautiful trophy. To put it in a chuunibyou way, even he was the one and only ruler of the world. How could the harem be without a unique beauty?
In other words, it didn't matter whether it was Madam Ochre or Lady Green or anyone else. He only wanted the woman with the title of the world's most beautiful woman.
Madam Ochre only had a few good points. She was beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and had a gentle temperament. She was too simple. Her background was simple, her brain was simple, and her emotional world was simple. Therefore, Ze Huang liked her the most until he died.
He also understood that Madam Ochre was a dodder flower that clung to him. If she left him, she would die. Therefore, before he died, he eliminated the Wu family, which was a hindrance, so that she wouldn't be implicated.
He banished her to the Cold Palace and sent his men of sacrifice to protect Madam Ochre. First, it was to prevent the noblewomen of the previous dynasty from venting their anger on her. Second, it was to prevent Empress Dowager Wang and other people in the harem from killing her.
Perhaps history books would record Madam Ochre as Daji or Bao Si. That was something he couldn't do anything about. The only thing he could do was make arrangements for Madam Ochre after he died and protect her life.
Empress Dowager Wang's feelings for Madam Ochre were complicated. Aside from her appearance, Madam Ochre didn't lose to her in any other aspect. Her feelings were probably too mottled in the eyes of the emperor. There were too many impurities, but what could she do?
Her background and position meant that she had no choice but to fight for fame and fortune. She also had to live.
In fact, it was the same for us. How could there be a saying of love in a lifetime? It was like chasing after a celebrity. We could only say that we liked this celebrity the most at the moment. After three to five years, or even ten or twenty years, we would like someone else.
The so-called love, my understanding was that we liked the person the most at the moment.
For example, Ze Huang, when he was a newlywed, he liked Empress Dowager Jin Yue the most. After Empress Dowager Wang entered the palace, he liked her the most. After he conquered the country, he slowly liked Madam Ochre the most. That was it.
PS: Consort Wang: Consort Wang was actually the first mini-boss in this book. She was also a mini-boss that was clearly destined to fall. Actually, her failure was in many ways. She was dignified, self-disciplined, and intelligent (although it wasn't obvious in the book).
I don't know if anyone would think that this boss died too slowly. She was like a cockroach that just wouldn't die no matter how hard she tried. Furthermore, she didn't feel good at all. It took more than two hundred thousand words for her to show signs of decline.
Why did I write it this way? First of all, when the female lead first entered the palace, I added a few heads in the novel to deepen the readers' impression of her. What was the point of winning against someone who could be counted with one hand? Furthermore, being too conspicuous would be detrimental to the female lead's ability to sneak into Mu Guiyi's side.
In three years, there must be a boss in the harem. If you think about it carefully, you will understand that only Consort Wang can do it. The others have their own limitations. Furthermore, if the queen died before the selection, the harem would be dominated by the female lead. It would be great to see, but that wasn't the effect I wanted to express.
The queen's tragedy was in many ways. She was very intelligent, but she wasn't thorough enough. She was overly obsessed with Luoshuanga. Actually, did she not understand what Luoshuanga had done to her? Actually, she understood, but she didn't want to believe it. Because she was so perfect, there was no reason for Luoshuanga to fall in love with a servant who was inferior to her in every way. Or rather, her pride made her unwilling to lower her head and admit defeat.
Furthermore, the more she read, the more she realized that only by holding on tightly to what she only had, would she appear less pitiful and less destitute. Especially when compared to Qin Wanru, she appeared so pathetic. The things she desired could never be obtained in this lifetime, but Qin Wanru had them all. She could even be willful and picky in front of Luo, but she didn't dare, couldn't, and couldn't.
Writing about the queen was more like calling her the epitome of Empress Dowager Wang. Empress Dowager Wang was also a perfect woman who defeated Empress Dowager Jin Yue. Empress Dowager Wang stood out among the many beauties, but in the end, she lost to a woman who had no other redeeming qualities other than her face and the ability to please men. In terms of feelings, they had all lost to a woman whom they didn't even care about before.
Was the emperor a scumbag? Actually, power is a very interesting thing. I'm not sure about the age of the readers who read my book. If you're only a middle school student, then when you reach university, I hope you can try your best to join a club, participate in more club activities, and interact with more people. You'll slowly realize that even a small club can have many tricks up its sleeves.
If you're lucky enough to join the student council, the methods inside will be even more amazing. If you're lucky enough to become the head of a club, you'll probably be able to understand the feelings of an emperor. The contradiction of trusting and guarding against his close left and right assistants often leads to the emperor favoring those who are brainless and won't promote those who are obedient.
If you've already stepped into society, I hope that my writing won't disappoint you. At least, you won't fall out of line when you read it.
Back to the main topic, Wang's failure was actually an inevitable result. I also mentioned in the previous article that because of her marriage, Empress Dowager Luo Yue did not allow Qin Yiren, who was pregnant at that time, to have a clear path. In order to consolidate Wang Xian's position as Imperial Concubine, Empress Dowager Luo Shuangyue forced her to abort Qin Yiren's child. And that child was when Qin Yiren and Luo Shuangyue's relationship was the hottest.
The sad thing was, Consort Wang didn't know that her aunt did this for her own good. She was still a happy newlywed, and everything was as perfect as her previous life. However, it was also at this time that she became the target of Luoshuanga's anger.
For Luoshuanga, he married Consort Wang to strengthen the support of his mother's family. This was originally the icing on the cake, and he was also willing to give his uncle's family some face. Everything was going according to plan. However, at this time, his mother killed his child with her own hands, her own grandson. Who should he hate?
His mother was his only child. Along the way, there were so many obstacles. Should he hate his mother? Naturally, this anger was grafted onto Consort Wang. If this woman hadn't married into the family in the beginning, this wouldn't have happened.
There were probably readers who thought that Luoshuanga was inexplicable, and that he shouldn't have married her in the first place. There are spoilers here, so I won't mention it for now. Consort Wang's tragedy was destined to be buried. A concubine who wasn't liked by her husband would be judged by her husband no matter what she did, especially when her husband was an emperor.
Consort Wang's tragedy was actually from many aspects. It could be said that everyone pushed her to her death. Her family was greedy and abandoned her at the most critical moment, planting evil seeds. Empress Dowager Wang misjudged Luo's feelings for Qin Fen, and pushed the evil seeds forward.
Madam Wen Yu was happily fanning the flames at the side. In fact, an enemy like Madam Wen Yu who was unrestrained and unconcerned, and could be considered as half of one's own people, was the most terrifying. It could be said that she had accelerated the blooming of the Flower of Evil.
In a sense, the female lead won this battle by lying down.
Wang also represented the image of most noble ladies. The family behind her forced her to pursue fame and fortune. Sometimes, her frequent actions would attract the emperor's dislike and suspicion.
For this character, I didn't know how to arrange her ending at the beginning. In fact, I didn't want her to step down too quickly. In fact, I originally planned for her to be very, very late. When all the truth was revealed to her, she would completely collapse and die miserably like a madman. However, I felt that that would be too sad. I hoped that she would leave with a clear mind and her unique pride.
After writing until now, naturally, I felt that it was enough. She could only go so far. This was probably the telepathy between the author and the character.
