[It's a pity that Queen Chen, she had just become Queen and was attacked so violently by someone, who was her husband's biological sister. She couldn't even express her bitterness, it would be strange if she wasn't angry. ]

【The history books say that "when the emperor ascended the throne, she was made the empress, and she was spoiled and arrogant, and had no children for more than ten years." "Such a spoiled and arrogant woman" means that she was spoiled and arrogant. Well, if she was really the only one favored in the harem, how could there be Wei Zifu? 】

[Historical records also show that after Wei Zifu entered the palace, she was not favored for a long time and was almost expelled from the palace as an ordinary maid. It was not until she met Emperor Wu of Han again that she was favored again and her love for him became unstoppable.]
[So from this time on, less than ten years before Empress Chen was deposed, Wei Zifu gave birth to three daughters for Emperor Wu of Han, an average of one every three years.]

[After Empress Chen was deposed, she gave birth to a son for Emperor Wu of Han, who later became Crown Prince Liu Ju, and was then named Empress.]
[During this period of more than ten years, Empress Chen did not even get pregnant.]

[Although this can prove from one side that Empress Chen may indeed have had problems with her fertility, I don't see that she was favored by the emperor, or was the only one favored by the emperor.]
[If there really was someone who was favored exclusively by the emperor in the harem, I think it could only be Wei Zifu, who gave birth to three children for Emperor Wu of Han in less than ten years! ]

All those present were women from the harem, especially Empress Dowager Dou and Queen Dowager Wang. Empress Dowager Dou was very favored in the past, otherwise she would not have given birth to a concubine's eldest son, a second son, and a daughter, Princess Guantao.
Although Queen Mother Wang was favored at the beginning, she was not as favored as Li Ji, who gave birth to the eldest son, the second son, and the third son for Emperor Jing successively.

There were countless beauties in the harem, and a woman could give birth to three children in a row. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the most favored in the harem. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for other women to be favored.
How can you have a child if you are not even favored?
[“Hearing that Wei Zifu was favored, she was furious and nearly died several times” means that when Empress Chen heard that Emperor Wu of Han favored Wei Zifu, she was furious and nearly died several times. ]
[That is to say, when Empress Chen heard that Emperor Wu of Han had fallen in love with someone else, she was heartbroken. However, even so, she was unable to do anything to Wei Zifu, and she almost died several times.]

[Although I don't know how long Empress Chen's condition lasted. But the concubines in the harem gave birth to children one after another, but she couldn't even get pregnant. How much pressure must this be. ]
[Many modern examples have proven that the greater the stress, the harder it is to conceive.]

[It is reported that when Empress Chen was deposed, she was only 26 or 27 years old. At this age in our modern times, some girls have just gotten married and had children, which is just the beginning of family life.]
[At this age, the young Empress Chen had reached the end of her life. She was labeled as childless and abandoned! ]

Do girls in later generations get married and have children at the age of 26 or 27?
Upon hearing this news, not only the emperors of the Han Dynasty, but also the emperors of other dynasties were surprised.

Ming Dynasty. When Lao Wu heard this, he couldn't help but chant: "Sanqi has balanced kidney qi, so the real teeth grow very long; Siqi has strong tendons and bones, the hair grows very long, and the body is strong..."
"Indeed, it is much safer for women of this age to give birth, and the children are less likely to die."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him and said, "Nonsense! If women in the Ming Dynasty gave birth at the age of 25 or 26, wouldn't the population of our Ming Dynasty be much smaller? These people in later generations are simply talking nonsense. Only when our descendants continue can the prosperity of our country continue!"
At this time, Empress Ma spoke slowly: "Really? I remember that I was already 20 years old when I married you, and I was already 25 years old when I gave birth to my first child. But it doesn't seem to have affected the continuation of your offspring."

The sons realized that their mother was unhappy, and they all kept silent.
They have experience. Anyone who dares to stand out at this time will definitely become the emperor's punching bag.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally heard something wrong and laughed, "How can you be the same? You are my wife. Hehe, let's not talk about other things. Let's continue watching, continue watching!"

[Every time I see content related to Empress Chen, I feel a sense of depression in my heart, which I cannot express or swallow, and I feel deeply sorry for Empress Chen.]
[In fact, from the perspective of the upmaster, Empress Chen was in a very bad state since Emperor Wu of Han welcomed Wei Zifu into the palace in the second year of Jianyuan. Ask yourself, who wouldn't be angry if this happened to them? ]

[My husband has a mistress, and the mistress was given by my sister-in-law. Why did I give my husband a mistress? Because I am still young and have not given birth to a child.]
[If this kind of thing really happened in real life, shouldn't I beat my elder sister-in-law first, then beat my husband and divorce him? It's better to have no children, and go back to my parents' home to inherit the family business, and become a free and easy person, traveling around the world.] Princess Pingyang's face froze when she heard this, and her cheeks became slightly hot, as if she had really been slapped.

[Even if that's not the case, she can just choose another husband. Empress Chen was said to be very beautiful, of noble status at the time, and her family was rich enough to rival an entire country. Moreover, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old at the time, which was the most beautiful age for a woman.]
[Why bother hanging yourself on this crooked tree like Emperor Wu of Han? ]

[But unfortunately, Empress Chen was a love-brained person, and she loved her cousin terribly. She was always moved by his promise to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house, or rather, she was moved by herself who believed that this oath was true.]
[It was clearly someone else's fault, but she took all the responsibility on herself. She began to look for a secret recipe for having a child, and tried every possible way to have a child for Emperor Wu of Han.]

[But the more anxious she was, the less likely the child was to arrive. The less likely the child was to arrive, the more anxious she became. She was trapped in a vicious cycle that she could never get out of.]

[She was the one who was hurt, but she was blamed by everyone and she was powerless to do anything. This was driving her crazy.]
[And she actually continued in this state for ten years. ]

"Jiaojiao, you are so silly!" Upon hearing this, Princess Guantao's eyes were filled with tears.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, held her daughter's hand tightly, and then glared at Liu Che fiercely.
Old Empress Dowager Dou watched their actions coldly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

[What did her husband, mother, mother-in-law, and aunt do during these ten years? ]
[I guess they are always urging her to give birth to the emperor's legitimate son. But has anyone ever considered her mental state?]

[Everyone only asks her for medicine to give birth to a child. Who can give her a bowl of medicine to cure her heart disease? Who can warm her cold heart? ]

[In this way, after ten years of hope, despair, hope, and despair, Empress Chen suffered a mental breakdown. Having a child had become her obsession, and she finally chose to practice witchcraft to have a child.]
[This last attempt to have a child became the direct cause of her dethronement and also the stepping stone for Empress Wei to ascend to the throne.]

The camera flashed in the sky scroll, and the lonely silhouette of a woman appeared in the layers of palace tents. As the palace tents fell layer by layer, the woman's silhouette disappeared, and finally the whole painting turned into thick black fog.

Looking at the background of the woman in the heavenly scroll, not only Princess Guantao but also Queen Chen was in tears, while the others present didn't know what to say.

Wiping the tears from her face, Empress Chen knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Dou and said, "Grandmother, if what the Heavenly Scroll said is true, then my granddaughter will not have a child. In this case, I will leave on my own accord. I hope that Grandmother and Mother will let me go home."
