The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

This beautiful woman went to the battlefield to watch the fight between the two armies, but was defeated because she took too long to put on makeup.

This beauty remained undefeated even when her country was in ruins. After marrying the enemy, she continued to thrive and caused unrest in the court and the country.

She is Feng Xiaolian, whose beauty is comparable to the four beauties, but who brings disaster to the country and the people, and whose body is that of an overlord.

As the beloved concubine of Gao Wei, the de facto last emperor of Northern Qi, Feng Xiaolian, the human air conditioner, can be said to have witnessed and accelerated the destruction of this outrageous regime.

"Feng Xiaolian was originally a maidservant of Emperor Gao Wei's third empress, Mu Xieli."

"And Mu Xieli was the maid of Gao Wei's first queen. Later, with the help of Gao Wei's wet nurse Lu Lingxuan, she succeeded to the throne."

"But Gao Wei's nature was hard to change, and before long, Mu Xieli fell out of favor. That's when she came up with a good idea."

"The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Life-Extending Festival."

"In order to continue the queen's life, Mu Xieli offered one of his maids to Gao Wei. This maid was Feng Xiaolian."

"Feng Xiaolian is smart, good at playing the pipa, and skilled in singing and dancing."

"Gao Wei was indeed deeply attracted to her. They sat at the same table and rode in the same car."

"When Gao Wei was in a good mood, he swore to Feng Xiaolian that he would live and die together."

"Although a man's oath is not very reliable, the fact that Gao Wei, the king of a country, could say such words already shows how charming Feng Xiaolian is."

"The most charming thing about Feng Xiaolian is her skin, which is as fascinating as fine jade."

"Gao Wei particularly likes to touch Feng Xiaolian's skin, which is not only curvaceous but also has the effect of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer."

"In winter, touching her is as warm as a ball of cotton, and in summer, she is as cool as ice."

"Therefore, no matter if there was anyone around or not, Gao Wei couldn't help but hold Feng Xiaolian in his arms."

"This also applies to when discussing matters with ministers. This is the origin of the allusion of the jade body lying horizontally."

"If that were all, it would be fine. She is just a favored concubine, but she was truly labeled as a disaster to the country and the people because of several things."

"In October 576 AD, the Northern Zhou army attacked Pingyang City. Jinzhou was in danger, so we rushed to the capital to request reinforcements, eight hundred miles away."

"But the envoy came three times in a row, but he didn't see anyone from the later ruler Gao Wei."

"It turns out that the emperor was hunting with Feng Xiaolian, and the messengers who came to call for help were stopped by the prime minister outside the hunting grounds."

"It was not until the evening when Pingyang City had already fallen that the prime minister passed the news to Gao Wei."

"Gao Wei was ready to go to the rescue, but Feng Xiaolian was still not satisfied."

"The loss of a mere city is nothing. Your Majesty, please accompany me on this hunt again!"

"A month later, Gao Wei brought Feng Xiaolian to the front line of Jinzhou, and Jinzhou had already fallen."

Wu Zetian: The beautiful Feng Xiaolian was captured twice, but was rejected each time.

Feng Xiaolian is like a tear in the long river of history, beautiful but short-lived.

She was the favorite concubine of Gao Wei, the last emperor of Northern Qi. She had a stunning beauty but was branded as a beauty that brought disaster.

In the end, she passed away, which is a pity. She was a legendary woman with a tragic fate.

Feng Xiaolian was born in a humble family, but she was born with natural beauty, was good at singing and dancing, and was proficient in playing the pipa. She was a woman of both talent and beauty.

The gears of fate began to turn, sending her to the harem of Northern Qi, and starting her magnificent yet tragic life.

At that time, the Northern Qi Dynasty was in a precarious crisis hidden beneath the surface of prosperity and peace.

Gao Wei, the young emperor, was addicted to pleasure, ignored state affairs, and put the empire that his ancestors had worked so hard to build in danger.

When Feng Xiaolian first entered the palace, she was just a maid of lowly status, and fate seemed to be particularly kind to her.

By chance, she was presented to Gao Wei by his queen, Mu Xieli.

Perhaps Empress Mu wanted to please Gao Wei in this way, or perhaps she had already foreseen the consequences that Feng Xiaolian's beauty would bring.

In any case, Feng Xiaolian's life trajectory has undergone a drastic change since then.

The first time Gao Wei saw Feng Xiaolian, he was deeply attracted by her unparalleled beauty, like a long-awaited rain after a long drought.

Gao Wei doted on Feng Xiaolian to the point where it could not be more favored.

He ignored etiquette and promoted Feng Xiaolian from a humble maid to a concubine step by step, and finally pushed her onto the throne of queen.

From then on, the king no longer attended court early in the morning. Gao Wei indulged in pleasure all day long, and was inseparable from Feng Xiaolian. He indulged in sensual pleasures and ignored state affairs.

He built a magnificent palace for Feng Xiaolian and collected rare treasures from all over the world just to win the smile of the beautiful woman.

Gao Wei even let Feng Xiaolian lie on the jade table in front of all the ministers for himself and his ministers to admire.

The label of "lying naked" became an indelible label on Feng Xiaolian's body, nailing her forever to the pillar of shame in history.

In that turbulent era, beauty was crucial for a woman at the center of power.

It is more like a double-edged sword, which can bring wealth and glory, but can also lead to fatal disaster.

The Northern Zhou army launched a massive attack on Northern Qi, and Pingyang City was in a state of emergency. The extremely urgent military information reached Gao Wei's ears.

However, he was hunting with Feng Xiaolian. He was so absorbed in the beauty of life that he paid no attention to military affairs.

He even threw the safety of the country behind his mind in order to satisfy Feng Xiaolian's request for another hunt.

By the time Gao Wei finally remembered to deal with the military situation, the opportunity to fight had been missed.

The Northern Qi army suffered defeat after defeat, and eventually Pingyang City was captured.

Gao Wei fled in panic, but eventually fell into the hands of the Northern Zhou army and became a prisoner.

Gao Wei, once the supreme ruler, now became a prisoner, but he did not show any regret or sadness.

His only concern was Feng Xiaolian's safety, and he begged the Northern Zhou monarch Yuwen Yong, hoping that he would let Feng Xiaolian go.

How can a king of a fallen country protect his woman?
Feng Xiaolian's beauty, like a pearl in the dark night, attracts countless greedy eyes.

After Gao Wei's death, Feng Xiaolian was awarded to Li Xun, the Duke of Dai.

Li Xun's sister almost lost her life because of Feng Xiaolian's frame-up.

Now, the situation has changed and Feng Xiaolian is in his hands. Li Xun will naturally not let her go easily.

He treated Feng Xiaolian like a servant and let her experience the feeling of falling from the clouds to the mud.

The once luxurious life has turned into simple meals.

What was once the center of attention has now become the target of ridicule.

The huge gap made Feng Xiaolian disheartened.

In the end, she chose to end her life, bidding farewell to this world that made her feel mixed with love and hate in a decisive way.

Feng Xiaolian's life was both a legendary and a tragic one.

She was extremely beautiful, but she also became a victim of political struggle.

She had no choice but to die in the tide of history.

Feng Xiaolian's story has become a thing of the past.

But the thoughts it leaves us with are still worth our deep consideration.

Beauty and destiny, power and love, these eternal themes.

Stories of joy and sorrow will continue to unfold in the long river of history.

"That day, Feng Xiaolian was still sleeping in, and Gao Wei led the soldiers to retake the city."

"At first, the Northern Qi soldiers destroyed a section of the city wall that was more than ten steps wide by digging a tunnel."

"The soldiers were preparing to attack the city in one go, but Gao Wei suddenly gave the order."

"My favorite concubine hasn't arrived yet. It would be such a shame if she didn't see such a wonderful battle!"

"So Gao Wei asked the soldiers to stop attacking the city and called Feng Xiaolian to come over to watch the siege."

"An hour later, when Feng Xiaolian has finished dressing up and is late, she will arrive."

"The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already repaired the damaged section of the city wall. The Northern Qi Dynasty lost its best fighting opportunity and was completely unable to capture the city."

"Feng Xiaolian was very depressed because she failed to capture the city. It was not because of the outcome of the war, but because she could not enter the city to see the scenery."

"It is said that there are relics left by a saint on the stone to the west of Jinzhou City. Feng Xiaolian originally hoped that Gao Wei would take her into the city to see them after he captured the city."

"In the end, Gao Wei had a solution. He ignored the opposition of his soldiers."

"We used the wood that the soldiers had cut down to make siege equipment to build a long bridge. We wanted Feng Xiaolian to stand on the high bridge and watch the traces of the saints in the city."

"The funny thing is, things don't go as planned after the bridge is built."

"Gao Wei had just brought Feng Xiaolian onto the bridge when it broke apart in an instant."

"They made a fool of themselves and didn't return until dark."

"There are many absurd things that Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian did. Most of them delayed national affairs because of Feng Xiaolian. It's similar to other evil concubines in history who brought disaster to the country and the people."

"In 577 AD, the Northern Qi Dynasty finally came to an end."

"Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian and their group, including Queen Mu Xieli, were captured alive by the Northern Zhou army and taken prisoner."

"It must be said that Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, was able to unify the north and was indeed a great ruler."

"He has great military and political talents and is politically clear."

"Even in his personal life, he is frugal and does not covet beauty."

"Even though he had heard about Feng Xiaolian's beauty, he was not bewitched by her after seeing her in person."

"In contrast, Gao Wei, the last emperor of Northern Qi, was in a situation where he could not protect himself."

"He was still thinking about his beauty, so he took the initiative to ask Yuwen Yong for mercy."

"You don't need anything else. Even the Queen can be dealt with as you wish. Can you please return Feng Xiaolian to me?"

"Just like that, Gao Wei was captured and recovered. Feng Xiaolian soon returned to Gao Wei's arms after being captured for the first time."

Princess Taiping: The Northern Qi Dynasty, which should not have been destroyed, was defeated several times because Gao Wei wanted to please Feng Xiaolian.

When Gao Wei ruled Northern Qi, the monarch of Northern Zhou was Yuwen Yong.

Unlike Gao Wei's misdeeds, Yuwen Yong worked hard to govern the country after eliminating the powerful minister Yuwen Hu.

The Northern Zhou's national strength continued to rise, forming a sharp contrast with the politically chaotic Northern Qi.

Yuwen Yong decided to seize this opportunity to eliminate his old enemy, Northern Qi, in one fell swoop.

After sufficient preparation, Yuwen Yong gathered his troops and ordered an attack on Northern Qi.

Yuwen Yong took this group of brave generals and led 60,000 troops to attack Northern Qi.

At first, the Northern Zhou army made smooth progress and soon captured dozens of cities of the Northern Qi.

But just as they were preparing to further expand their victory, Yuwen Yong suddenly fell ill and was forced to order a withdrawal.

Although Northern Qi was not destroyed this time, Yuwen Yong still gained a lot from this trip.

This deep journey into Northern Qi territory gave him a direct understanding of the chaotic situation in Northern Qi and increased his confidence in defeating Northern Qi. So a year later, Yuwen Yong returned.

This time, Yuwen Yong made major adjustments in military deployment and made Jinzhou, an important city in Northern Qi, the main target of attack.

Yuwen Yong led his troops deep into Northern Qi and surrounded the city of Jinzhou.

In order to boost morale, Yuwen Yong went to the front line every day to comfort the soldiers.

The morale of the Northern Zhou army was high and the city of Jinzhou was in imminent danger.

At this critical moment, the Northern Qi monarch Gao Wei was playing with his beloved concubine Feng Xiaolian.

When the news of Jinzhou being surrounded came, Gao Wei was hunting outside with Feng Xiaolian.

Gao Wei wanted to go back to deal with military affairs, but Feng Xiaolian was having fun and asked Gao Wei to play for a while longer.

Gao Wei no longer knew what was important at this time and readily agreed to continue hunting with Feng Xiaolian.

When Gao Wei had enough fun and brought reinforcements to Jinzhou City, Jinzhou City had already been captured by the Zhou army.

The Northern Zhou army became the new master of Jinzhou City, and Gao Wei's army changed from rescuing the city to attacking it.

Seeing that the Northern Qi army was approaching with great force, Yuwen Yong left some troops to guard Jinzhou City and returned to Northern Zhou to gather reinforcements.

The Northern Qi army was very powerful and after a fierce attack, the Jinzhou city wall was severely damaged.

Just as the Qi army was about to recapture Jinzhou City again, Gao Wei suddenly ordered a halt to the attack.

It turned out that Gao Wei wanted to witness with Feng Xiaolian the moment when his army entered the city.

But Feng Xiaolian was still putting on makeup, so she had to wait for a while. She was simply treating the fight as a child's play.

The Northern Zhou army seized the opportunity to quickly reinforce the city walls. By the time Feng Xiaolian was dressed up and came out, the Qi army's chance had been lost.

Not long after, Yuwen Yong arrived with reinforcements and engaged in a decisive battle with the Northern Qi army.

This battle was a clash between the main forces of both sides. It concerned the future of the two countries, and both sides fought fiercely.

The Qi army suffered a heavy blow and was quickly defeated by the Zhou army.

Gao Wei ran all the way to Jinyang before he stopped. He was still in shock and asked his ministers what to do.

The ministers were still devoted to the country and suggested that Gao Wei gather the remaining troops, defend the city and avoid the destruction of the country.

Gao Wei was a cowardly person. He lacked a strong will and dared not shoulder heavy responsibilities. He just passed the burdens on to others.

Gao Wei handed over the Qi army near Jinyang to his cousin Gao Yanzong for command, and then fled back to the Northern Qi capital Yecheng.

Gao Yanzong was much stronger than Gao Wei. In order to defend Jinyang City, he personally comforted the soldiers and distributed treasures to them, which boosted the morale of the Qi army.

Thanks to the efforts of Gao Yanzong and others, they even almost won.

Not long after, the Zhou army chased to Jinyang City and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Since Gao Yanzong used many methods to motivate his soldiers, the Qi army fought hard and the battle was extremely brutal.

Almost all the people around Yuwen Yong died in the battle, and he himself was almost killed. He only escaped from the city under the protection of his confidants.

The Qi army achieved a temporary victory, but a temporary victory does not mean final victory.

After driving away the enemy, the Qi soldiers were very happy and went to drink to celebrate. They were all drunk and unconscious, and Gao Yanzong was unable to control them.

Yuwen Yong, who fled outside the city in a panic, was originally preparing to retreat.

At this time, a general who defected from the Qi army said that Jinyang City was empty and suggested that Yuwen Yong attack again.

After careful consideration, Yuwen Yong decided to try again.

Yuwen Yong gathered the scattered soldiers and rushed into the city again.

Most of the Qi soldiers were drunk and unable to resist, so the Zhou army easily occupied Jinyang City and captured Gao Yanzong alive.

After these major battles, the main forces of Northern Qi were completely wiped out.

Not long after, the Northern Qi capital Yecheng was captured by the Zhou army.

The monarch Gao Wei was also captured alive on his way to escape, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally destroyed its arch-enemy, the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"After Gao Wei got Feng Xiaolian, he didn't feel happy for long before he lost her again."

“This time, it’s not because Feng Xiaolian was robbed.”

"Instead, he was killed by Yuwen Yong, and Feng Xiaolian was given as a reward to Dai Wang Yuwen Da."

"Yuwen Da is not Yuwen Yong. He is very fond of this stunning beauty."

"For her, he even neglected his own wife, Li, who was almost persecuted to death."

"Three years later, in order to usurp the throne, Northern Zhou Prime Minister Yang Jian began to massacre members of the Northern Zhou royal family, including Prince of Dai Yuwen Da."

"After Yuwen Da's death, Feng Xiaolian fell into Yang Jian's hands."

"Yang Jian, like Yuwen Yong, did not even glance at this stunning beauty and directly gave her to his general Li Xun."

"But what Yang Jian didn't know was that Feng Xiaolian had a grudge against the Li Xun family."

"Li Xun is the biological brother of Princess Li of Yuwenda. Feng Xiaolian almost killed Li. You can imagine how she will live in the Li family."

"Li Xun knew that she had a grudge against her sister. Now that her brother-in-law was dead, she had to avenge her sister."

"So she was made to wear coarse cloth during the day and do rough work at home, such as pounding rice, and at night she was made to sleep with him."

"This didn't last long. One day, Li Xun's mother got the news from somewhere."

"It turns out that this seemingly insignificant maid in the mansion is actually the vixen who almost killed my daughter."

"Faced with the retaliation from Li Xun's mother, Feng Xiaolian had no power to resist, and her master, whom she tried to please day and night, did not dare to plead with the old woman."

"That day, Feng Xiaolian looked around blankly and realized that the world was so vast."

"She had no place to stay, and only then did she remember how good Gao Wei, the last emperor of Northern Qi, had been to her."

"Feng Xiaolian's death was inevitable."

"Those who use their beauty to please others will lose their love when their beauty fades."

"After changing hands several times, Feng Xiaolian is no longer the stunning beauty she once was. It is only a matter of time before she is abandoned."

"Feng Xiaolian's biggest regret was that she met two wise and capable emperors, Yuwen Yong and Yang Jian, who were not attracted by her beauty and were unable to enter the palace again."

"Of course, no matter how charming Feng Xiaolian is, the fall of Northern Qi actually had little to do with her."

"She was like a beautiful vine, but the tree she was clinging to was too rotten, so she ended up in such a miserable state."

Shangguan Wan'er: Queen Feng Xiaolian of Northern Qi depended on men for survival and eventually died because of the men's ruthlessness.

Gao Wei, the last monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, never did anything great in his life that would go down in history. Instead, he was notorious for his debauchery and immorality.

Gao Wei's first queen, known as Queen Hulug.

She was originally the daughter of the prime minister of Northern Qi, and was chosen by Gao Wei's father, Emperor Gao Zhan, as the crown princess for Gao Wei for political reasons.

After Gao Wei ascended the throne, he appointed Princess Huolü as the queen.

Because Gao Wei was afraid of the powerful prime minister, he always treated Queen Hulu with great respect.

It was not until the prime minister was framed that Gao Wei deposed Empress Hulu.

He also ordered Queen Hulu to shave her head and become a nun, and was glad that Queen Hulu left Gao Wei early.

After the fall of Northern Qi, Empress Hulu returned to secular life and remarried again.

Gao Wei's second queen, known as Queen Hu.

She was the niece of Gao Wei's biological mother, Empress Dowager Hu, and also Gao Wei's cousin.

This marriage is a close one.

But at that time, in the court of Northern Qi, Gao Wei's biological mother, Empress Dowager Hu, and his wet nurse, Lu Lingxuan, were in opposition.

As a political victim, Queen Hu was deposed.

Gao Wei's third queen was Mu Huanghua, also known as Mu Xieli.

Mu Huanghua was not a lady of high family. She was a maid of Gao Wei's first queen, Queen Hulu. She was favored by the lustful Gao Wei and gave birth to a prince.

Also, because Mu Huanghua was the adopted daughter of Lu Lingxuan, the prime minister of Northern Qi, with Lu Lingxuan's help, Mu Huanghua, who was originally a maid, became the queen.

However, Mu Huanghua, who was still beautiful despite her old age, lost Gao Wei's favor after becoming the queen.

In order to retain her favor and status, Mu Huanghua had to present her maid Feng Xiaolian to Gao Wei.

Gao Wei met the beautiful Feng Xiaolian and fell in love with her. Feng Xiaolian became Gao Wei's exclusive lover.

Feng Xiaolian was favored and sat and rode with Gao Wei. She was not the queen, but she was comparable to the queen.

Even when the Northern Zhou attacked the Northern Qi, Gao Wei was accompanying Feng Xiaolian hunting and received military reports.

Gao Wei prepared to return to the palace to rescue, but Feng Xiaolian was enjoying hunting and wanted to hunt again.

Between the world's affairs and Feng Xiaolian, Gao Wei chose Feng Xiaolian.

Before the enemy arrived at the city, he was still hunting with his beloved concubine to make her smile.

Gao Wei's love for Feng Xiaolian has reached a blind point.

Gao Wei appointed Feng Xiaolian as the Left Empress because he believed that Feng Xiaolian had made contributions to the country.

But when the enemy arrived, Gao Wei had to flee with Feng Xiaolian.

Gao Wei did not succeed in escaping, but was captured alive, and the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed.

Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian were escorted to Chang'an. Even though his life was at stake, Gao Wei still asked Yuwen Yong to return Feng Xiaolian to him.

After Emperor Yuwen Yong recovered Northern Qi, he killed Gao Wei, but gave Feng Xiaolian to Prince of Dai, Yuwen Da.

Feng Xiaolian, who was favored by Gao Wei, did not commit suicide for Gao Wei, but became Yuwen Da's concubine.

In order to win Yuwen Da's exclusive favor, Feng Xiaolian even falsely accused and seriously injured Yuwen Da's concubine Li, and almost persecuted Li to death.

During these three years, Feng Xiaolian was favored by Yuwen Da.

However, Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty and killed Yuwen Da.

Yang Jian got Feng Xiaolian and once again gave her to the minister Li Xun.

This Li Xun was actually the elder brother of Yuwen Da's concubine Li.

After Li Xun got Feng Xiaolian, he did not think about revenge for his sister, but tortured Feng Xiaolian.

However, when Li Xun's mother learned that her daughter had been bullied by Feng Xiaolian, she forced Feng Xiaolian to commit suicide to relieve her hatred.

At this point, Feng Xiaolian's life came to an end.

The tragedy of Feng Xiaolian is that her tragedy continued even after Gao Wei's death.

The sorrow of women in ancient times was that they could only live in a man's world.

Feng Xiaolian lived by relying on men, and eventually died because of the man's ruthlessness. (End of this chapter)
