There is a lot of traffic outside the window.
The sunlight is sometimes blocked by clouds and sometimes peeks out.
Xiaoqi, who was sitting on the schoolbag, had already finished reading the life story of Empress Changsun.
This woman lived for only 36 years, but she was the only empress of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. After her death, Li Shimin no longer appointed another empress and repeatedly conferred titles on her posthumously.
She lost her father at the age of eight and was raised by her uncle. She married Li Shimin at the age of 13.
Xiaoqi is seventeen years old this year.
If it was Empress Changsun, she would have been married for four years.
From princess to crown princess to queen, she gave birth to 7 children. It would be more appropriate to describe her as a good assistant rather than a virtuous one in history.
After reading it from beginning to end, Xiaoqi felt that it was more like a story about a female partner who always considered Li Shimin, from the court to the harem, and also wrote about female rules, showing that she was a very strategic woman.
But after watching it I always feel a little uncomfortable.
36 years old, time is too short.
The second character to be introduced is Diao Chan, who is described as a female spy. There are many stories about Diao Chan in movies, TV series, and books. She is one of the Four Great Beauties, with a beauty that could eclipse the moon, and is more like a folk legend.
It tells about her experiences of love, hate, and passion, and how she used the beauty trap and the chain of tricks.
I flipped through it quickly.
The third was also an empress, Empress Lü Zhi of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. She was described as a female politician and the most vicious woman. The human pig in history was created by her.
It made Xiao Qi shudder.
Empress Lü lived longer than Emperor Liu Bang and died in her sixties.
His skills and political strategies were very powerful, laying a good foundation for the rule of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing in later generations.
Sima Qian spoke highly of her.
The fourth one is actually Liu Rushi... Did I get a book that is not very serious? It doesn’t feel like a historical record, but a fabrication.
Liu Rushi was a famous singing girl and talented woman in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and also an anti-Qing hero.
Finding it a bit hard to appreciate, Xiao Qi took a quick look and turned to the fifth woman.
Qiu Jin, a progressive young woman.
The son of an official, he went to study in Japan ten years after his marriage, founded a newspaper, and established a public school. He was only 32 years old when he was executed.
The sixth is Li Qingzhao, who is known as the most talented woman. I learned a lot of her poems when I was in school, so I read them carefully. Her poems are very beautiful, but her personal experience is a bit complicated. She remarried in ancient times, and her later life did not seem to be happy. It is also because of her different life experiences that she has created different styles of poetry.
The seventh one is Xia Ji, Xiaoqi has no impression of her at all.
A beauty from the Spring and Autumn Period, a princess of the State of Zheng, the rest of the story leaves Xiao Qi a bit bewildered. This princess married ten times, becoming queen three of them. Nine men died because of her, "killing three husbands, a king, and a son, and destroying a kingdom and two ministers." It's said that women like Daji and Baosi could only carry her shoes. Xia Ji was unparalleled in beauty and mastered the art of sex.
Xiaoqi blushed as she looked at the illustrations and could only quickly turn the pages, worried that others would think she was hiding in the bookstore reading a strange book.
The eighth one, Princess Wencheng, is known as the most outstanding diplomat. The content here is very similar to what I learned in the textbook, so I will skip it.
The ninth one is Concubine Wan, who is known as the most charming woman. Xiaoqi feels that this is another intrusion from a film or TV drama. It is said that she is 19 years older than the emperor and was the only one favored in his life.
The tenth one is Tu Youyou, the woman who made the greatest contribution. I wonder if Tu would vomit blood if she knew she was included in this list. Xiaoqi also felt that the last person was a Muggle. Maybe the author could not make up any more nonsense and found someone from his own surroundings.
Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin, a drug that effectively reduces mortality in malaria patients. She is the first Chinese person to win a Nobel Prize in a science and graduated from Peking University with a degree in medicine.
By the time I finished reading a book, my legs were numb. The feeling was indescribable.
The book I chose doesn't seem right. It feels like a waste of time. It's like I chose a book that was cobbled together. It's very thick and has a lot of illustrations, but it talks more about unofficial history.
She stood up and prepared to put the book back. She would look for the next book carefully before screening it.
"The host has finished reading a book thoughtfully and has his own insights. I am rewarded with a random learning card. This card only works on characters in this book. I randomly select a character and their abilities. Do you want to use this card?"
Su Xiaoqi: ...Is this all right?
"use."
She flipped through the book again. Although it seemed to be made up, each story seemed very impressive.
If I accidentally learned some of Xia Ji's strange bedroom skills, wouldn't I be...
However, if you accidentally learn Empress Lu's method of turning a human pig into a human... you will probably never have the chance to use it in your life.
"The host has successfully selected the singing ability of the courtesan Liu Rushi. Do you want to learn it?"
"Study." Su Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have any strange abilities.
I just watched Liu Rushi, but I just skipped over it because I thought it was too far-fetched. Now I read it again and it’s still hard to describe. Her life experience is a bit miserable, but she developed into a high-class socialite in an ancient brothel. She must have been very capable and had no dealings with ordinary people.
As for how well she sings, the book doesn't say much about it, but it says that she is very good at calligraphy and painting, and is also good at writing poetry.
However, for Su Xiaoqi, it was already a great surprise.
She had been to KTV with her classmates, and they usually sat in the corner from beginning to end. They couldn't sing, and when they sang, they were always out of tune.
When she was in school, the primary school in her Gumula Village did not test music at all. When she went to the junior high school in Huanghe Town, they did not pay attention to this either. No. 1 Middle School was a key high school and only focused on the college entrance examination, so she was tone-deaf until she was seventeen.
With this skill, at least I won’t be shy when singing.
Su Xiaoqi thought.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly vibrated. She took out the cell phone her father bought and then received the second call.
The last one was from my parents.
It vibrated for a while before I realized it was my own phone.
However, she had not told many people her cell phone number, and her classmate only told it to her roommate Xia Zhen.
The call was from an unfamiliar number. She saw that it was almost noon and she was going to have lunch, so she left the bookstore and answered the phone.
"Squad leader, huh? What's going on?"
"We have agreed to go to Huo Bar to eat and sing in the evening. You must come. All the classmates in our class will be there. We will go our separate ways from now on. This will be our last gathering. We will be at Huo Bar No. 4 store at 7:30 in the evening." The monitor said cheerfully.
"Okay." Su Xiaoqi nodded habitually.
After hanging up the phone, I remembered that I had already graduated.
