Fuji [Four Beauties]

"Zhongshan is far away, my parents and relatives are in Chang'an, and now I am in the palace of the Empress Dowager, how do you want me to go away with you?" A soft female voice came again.Then, there are many indescribable sounds.

The impact of these two sentences was so strong that Song Ci was a little dizzy.After arriving in this strange place, everything Song Ci saw and heard told her that the place she was in was not simple.Song Ci has been deceiving herself, she still holds a little hope in her heart.Who knew, the words of the pair of wild mandarin ducks shattered her fantasy.

The emperor's brother, the empress dowager, the palace, Chang'an, and Zhongshan.

These few words, together with the various buildings seen along the way, are enough for Song Ci to know where he is now.Apart from the prison, this is probably the most difficult place to escape in the world, or in other words, this is the biggest prison in the world.

For a moment, Song Ci didn't know how to react.

When Song Ci was in various messes, the couple continued to be indescribable.

"I can only stay in Chang'an for half a month, which is the maximum. After half a month, I will go back to Fengguo. If you don't come with me, I don't know when the next meeting will be. Are you willing to just be with me like this? I separate?" The woman didn't speak, but the man seemed to be a little resentful towards the woman's attitude, and his movements became rough, which made the woman's voice much louder.

Song Ci felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately there was no one around her, otherwise she would have died of embarrassment.

When listening to the corner, Song Ci didn't stop, she just walked very slowly.While walking, he also searched for the traces of the two without a trace.For Song Ci, it was relatively easy to find those two people, just by listening to their breathing, not to mention that they made a lot of noises.After years of practice, Song Ci's hearing and eyesight have far exceeded the level of ordinary people.She quickly found where the two were, in a small room farthest from the corridor.

While searching for them, Song Ci was also investigating the surrounding situation.After confirming that there were only three of them nearby, Song Ci walked forward along the corridor.When they arrived under a very lush tree, Song Ci hid in the shade and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

The two of them were obviously used to flirting with each other while talking privately.The two of them were so bold, even if they were hiding in a hidden room, it wasn't like no one was passing by.Meeting privately in such a dangerous place, they are still dawdling and very devoted. I really don't know if they are fearless or crazy.

The dialogue that follows is lackluster, mostly sweet talk between lovers.Song Ci listened to it for a long time, and managed to filter out some useful information.

The man said that he got agate from the Western Regions and wanted to give it to the woman, and the woman said that she hated things from the Huns.The man took a long time to popularize to the woman that the Huns are not equal to the Western Regions, the Southern Huns are not equal to the Northern Huns, the distribution of countries in the Western Regions and their specialties, etc.

Because of his tireless popularization of science, Song Ci also basically understood the era he was in.From a series of words such as the style of the building, Chang'an, Fengguo, and the countries of the Western Regions.Song Ci can basically judge that the era he lived in was in the Han Dynasty.Moreover, from the man's mention of the Huns in the north and south, Song Ci can judge his own period, at least after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It was time to test his knowledge of history again, and Song Ci once again apologized to his history teacher in his heart.When she studies history, she learns to swallow dates, especially the chronology of major historical events. She is just a mess, and she can't figure out what happened in which year.

It's true that when the book is used, I hate less.It's just that the matter has come to this point, and Song Ci has no chance to go back to the furnace and rebuild it.She can only use her unclear historical knowledge to make a rough judgment.

After reaching the conclusion, Song Ci left there and returned to the place where he lived.After returning, Song Ci closed the door and began to think about life quietly.It seems that she is most likely a court lady now.Although unfortunately, the place where she is located is the imperial palace, but luckily she is not some unfavored concubine.To run, the difficulty level will be a little lower than that of the unfavored concubine.

Now she has to figure out a few things, first of all, her current identity, situation and family situation.Then there is the system and basic situation in the palace.The system mentioned in Song Ci refers to the system for court ladies.If there is a mechanism in the palace to regularly select and release maids of honor, then this mechanism is one of the opportunities for her to leave the palace.

Just now at the place where the things were received, Song Ci had already observed quietly, and the maids who appeared there were different in beauty and ugliness.But except for the older one who sent things, the others are not that old.It is very likely that the older ones will be released, Song Ci evaluated optimistically in his heart.

There was another matter that caught Song Ci's attention.In my current body, the girl known as Wang Ji, she is very beautiful and very young, but she is just an ordinary court lady, which is very strange.

Song Ci didn't want to be a favorite concubine or take the route of palace fighting.She just found it strange.As far as Song Ci knows, many emperors of the Han Dynasty liked beauties very much.No matter the gender is male or female, as long as they are beautiful, even a boatman, a musician in a teaching workshop, or a singing girl can become the object of the emperor's favor.Now there are such beauties in the palace, but they are not taken seriously.At least for now, it seems that he is not taken seriously by the emperor, which is really strange.

For Song Ci, this must be investigated clearly.

Soon, Song Ci's opportunity came.The other two maids who live with her always come to work with her on time.Song Ci didn't know what kind of character the owner of this body was, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.Every time they came, Song Ci would follow them, only doing work but not talking.It probably turned out that the girl was relatively taciturn, and the others didn't notice Song Ci's abnormality.

The content of their work is relatively simple. Every day, they go to a lake that looks very large to pick herbs and make spices.This kind of work is not technically difficult, and Song Ci quickly got used to it.She couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in her heart, luckily it wasn't a female job such as knitting and embroidery, otherwise she would definitely show her face.

For the past few days, Song Ci's life in the palace was very different from the TV dramas she had watched before.The kind of life-and-death, frightening plot did not appear, and there were no concubines to arrogantly bully them.There didn't seem to be scenes of mutual exclusion and intrigue among the palace ladies.

At first, Song Ci felt very strange, it was so peaceful here.Later, Song Ci found out that the reason why it was so peaceful was because this was the residence of the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager, surnamed Shangguan, was not the grandmother of the current emperor, but the unfavored queen of the previous emperor.When she was very young, she was named a queen, and she has gone through three dynasties to the present.Although she is called the Empress Dowager, she is like an invisible person in the palace, and basically no one cares about her.Staying in this kind of place that is no different from the cold palace, what are the palace ladies fighting for?

After figuring out the identity of the Empress Dowager, Song Ci understood the current situation.Although she is not very clear about the historical chronology, she can barely figure out the emperors of the Han Dynasty.

As soon as the empress dowager was named Shangguan, Song Ci knew it.She may not be famous, but her grandfather should not be too famous.The Empress Dowager Shangguan is a famous relative of the Han Dynasty, the granddaughter of the former general Huo Guang, and Huo Guang is the brother of Huo Qubing.She married Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty, and is now Liu Fuling's grandson, the time when Emperor Hanyuan Liu Shi was the emperor.

After clarifying this, Song Ci also solved the previous doubts, why the original owner of his body was not taken seriously in the palace.It is said that during the period of Emperor Han Yuan, there were many court ladies.According to unreliable records, in the late period of Emperor Han Yuan, there were tens of thousands of maids in the palace.This number is not a joke, if there are so many maids in the palace, no one will be able to see it.

Just because Emperor Han Yuan had so many court ladies, somehow the very famous story of Zhaojun going out of the fortress was derived.According to the novel records of later generations, because there were too many palace ladies in the harem, Emperor Han Yuan couldn't see them, so he asked the painter to draw the portraits of the palace ladies, and then selected according to the portraits.The painters used this to accept bribes from the court ladies, and those with more money made good-looking paintings, while those with less money made ugly paintings.

The artist made Wang Zhaojun ugly because she thought she was noble and didn't give bribes.Therefore, Zhaojun has been unknown in the harem, and was not discovered by Emperor Han Yuan.After staying in the palace for several years, seeing that there was no hope of getting ahead, Zhaojun offered to marry the Huns.Before leaving, Zhaojun was summoned by Emperor Han Yuan and played a trick that amazed everyone.Emperor Hanyuan regretted so much that his intestines were green, and he had no choice but to kill the painter Mao Yanshou to vent his anger.

Later generations also derived many literary works based on these deductive records, such as "Zhaojun's Outing of the Fortress" and "Han Palace Autumn", and some even described Wang Zhaojun and Emperor Han Yuan as a pair of lovers. Unable to bear the pain, he gave his sweetheart to the Xiongnu Chanyu in exchange for peace.This kind of plot has earned a lot of tears from future generations, but it is only far-fetched.

In fact, none of these things were recorded at the time. The "Book of Han" only said that the Emperor Han Yuan gave five court ladies to Huhanye Chanyu of the Huns, and one of them, Wang Qiang, was named Ning Huyan.

At that time, the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was not a relationship between the weak Han and the strong Xiongnu.At that time, the Xiongnu split into two branches, the north and the south. The southern Xiongnu had surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and Zhaojun married the southern Xiongnu Shanyu Huhanye.In the past, when the Han and Huns were married, most of the people who married were of royal blood. If they were really forced by the Huns, how could the Han Dynasty lower the standard and marry the palace ladies to the Huns?This is simply contradictory.

Song Ci's impression of Emperor Han Yuan was not very deep, because compared with his ancestors, he was really not outstanding.If it weren't for the history teacher at the time, he would have talked a lot about many fallacies such as "Zhaojun went out of the fortress" and other far-fetched future generations.If Song Ci was impressed, she would not have too much impression of this period.

After figuring out the situation, Song Ci had a strong desire. She wanted to meet the famous Wang Zhaojun in history.I have already met Xi Shi before, and now that we have come to this era, the opportunity is rare, of course I have to meet Zhaojun, who is also one of the four beauties.Find out whether Xi Shi is beautiful or Zhao Jun is beautiful.

With this idea in mind, Song Ci began to search for Wang Zhaojun in the palace.
