In the history of our country, there are various subversive stories. For example, people from poor backgrounds can one day become the founding emperor, and women with low status can one day become empresses in the world of matrimony. Similar stories can be found in various dynasties in history, but in the Han Dynasty, there seem to be more such stories. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was once regarded as a local ruffian, while Wei Qing, the powerful general of the Xiongnu, also worked as a slave. After his sister became a country as a singer, this unexpected thing often appeared in the Han Dynasty.
Most of the protagonists in these stories have a characteristic, which is that their background is not obvious or even criticized by others. Some people are even born of their own mother and others having an affair. Wei Qing’s background is like this. Later, someone told him fortune telling that he has a noble appearance and will definitely achieve great success in the future. However, at that time, Wei Qing felt that he was just the son of a slave, as long as he was not punished by others, how dare he ask for anything to achieve great success. But after all, this is the Han Dynasty, and nothing is impossible. Even if you are the son of a slave, you may be granted the title of Marquis and Minister, achieving great success.
This applies not only to men, but also to women, such as Feiyan Hede and sisters. Their origins were also not very honorable. At that time, their mother was a prominent woman of the Jiangdu Prince, who was later betrothed to a lieutenant. However, their father was a mere Jieshe in the Jiangdu Prince’s mansion, so they were born of their own mother’s infidelity.
As their birth was not a glorious event, and if they were not properly managed, it would also bring shame to many people. Therefore, as soon as they were born, they were thrown into the wilderness. I originally intended to let these two children live and die on their own, but to my surprise, these two children stayed in the wilderness for three days and were still alive. The detective servant saw the two babies’ eyes rolling and was very angry. He was startled and thought that there must be some great fortune in these two children, so he quickly took them home and secretly raised them.
Later, when the two children were old and the family was really difficult, they were sent to Fuping Marquis to be raised as a singer girl. Among the two sisters, the elder sister had excellent physique and was very suitable for dancing, while the younger sister had a good throat and was very suitable for singing. The appearance of the two children was not bad, and naturally they were carefully cultivated to please the dignitaries in the future.
Coincidentally, Emperor Cheng of Han and the Marquis of Fuping had a good relationship, and the two of them often had private interactions and played together. Even though they have a good personal relationship, the other party is the emperor, and the Marquis of Fuping inevitably wants to please them. As he often played together, he also had some understanding of the emperor’s preferences, so he deliberately brought the flying swallow with him. As expected by Marquis Fuping, the emperor immediately fell in love with Zhao Feiyan and brought her into the palace.
This flying swallow is good at dancing and has a good appearance, so it was very popular with the emperor. After entering the palace, the two of them often nestled together for fun, singing at night and enjoying a long period of special favor. After all, she was trained, and Zhao Feiyan also had some ulterior motives. At first, she deliberately seduced the emperor, but refused to be favored. This repeatedly increased the emperor’s appetite. At that time, most of the women in the harem were reserved and obedient. The emperor had never seen such a creature before, and naturally became addicted to it.
