After wearing the book, Ben Gong lay down all the way to win

Chapter 666

Linglong bluffed her with a look: "Don't talk nonsense, appearance is the second life of our women, how can we ruin it, let alone Da Zhou has never had a disfigured national mother, how can I just watch you being laughed at?"

Ting Lan smiled sadly: "A joke? I have lived in the palace for almost 20 years, so why not live like a joke?"

Linglong couldn't help but said, "Sister..."

Ting Lan's expression gradually calmed down, and she said slowly: "That year, I entered the palace draft at the age of 15. Because the Xia clan and the Yu clan were in-laws, and I was the eldest daughter, I was valued by the queen mother and directly listed as Empress, enter the central palace."

"Because I come from a big family, and I know that I am rich and precious, even if I don't enter the palace to be a queen, if I marry a prince or county king, I must be a regular wife and princess. Therefore, my parents taught me since I was a child, saying that to be a regular wife is to look like a regular wife. , must be dignified, dignified, calm and generous, and must not be petty, let alone be coquettish and flirtatious like a concubine, with a frivolous behavior that loses the family demeanor."

"I kept in my heart what my parents taught me. After entering the palace, I put away my childish thoughts, faded away from the natural face of a young girl, and put myself into the harem wholeheartedly with a suit of fancy clothes and heavy makeup. Governing the harem with a benevolent and generous heart has won unanimous praise from everyone, and the queen mother is full of praise for me."

She sighed faintly: "I have won the hearts of all the people in the harem, but I have not won the heart of the first emperor. I know that as a queen and a wife, I cannot do whatever I want like other concubines, but I am also a woman. Naturally, I also long for my husband's love and companionship, and I have been working with the late Emperor for so many years, but there is always a distance between us."

"At first, I thought it was because I wasn't doing well enough, so I tried my best to be myself, but later I found some concubines chatting in the imperial garden, and I realized that I was wrong. I didn't do well enough, but The first emperor didn't like women like me, he thought I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't charming enough, and I couldn't let go like other women."

"Afterwards, the first emperor and the concubine Yan met by chance. A lowly maid in the court unexpectedly surpassed all the concubines with prominent backgrounds and became the most favored woman in the entire harem. Relying on the late emperor's favor, she did not treat all women except the empress dowager. Put it in your eyes, and repeatedly challenge the majesty of my queen."

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at me: "After Concubine Yan became favored, the nurse in charge of combing my hair once said that in terms of beauty, no one in the palace can match me, so why did the late emperor like a woman like Concubine Yan? Linglong, tell me, am I really that beautiful?"

Linglong was speechless, deeply moved.

Beautiful, of course beautiful.

You are the most beautiful and temperamental woman I have ever seen in my life.

But such an alluring beauty is the most insignificant in a prominent family like the Xia clan.

Since ancient times, men marry wives to seek virtue, and concubines to seek sex.

In the upper class, beauty has never been the requirement for a regular wife. On the contrary, beauty is very taboo, because there are many women who are troublesome, and being too beautiful is not a good thing.

Especially a family like the Xia family has always had high demands on the women in the family. They will teach the women in the family how to be dignified, how to be generous, and how to be a good wife, but they never teach them how to make full use of their own abilities. Beauty to compete for favor.
