Zhao was the second queen of the Western Han Dynasty and the emperor at that time. Her original name is not recorded, and she is usually considered a suitable host.

Zhao is a legendary woman in China folk and history, with a light figure, like a light swallow.

As far as we know, there are few records about her in the official history, but there are many books about her escape from unofficial history. The story of Zhao and her sister is a process of continuous spread and gradual enrichment and development, especially "Miscellanies of Xijing" and "The Legend of Yan Fei".

Is it true that Zhao takes Xiji pills to keep her beauty?

It is said that Zhao was abandoned by his parents after his birth and was still alive three days later. Her parents also felt strange and began to feed her.

When she was a little older, she was sent to Princess Yang A with her sister and began to learn to sing and dance. She is very talented, she learns the piano very well, and her dance is outstanding. Every time she flies in the wind, it seems that she will go with the wind.

Emperor Han Chengdi did nothing all day, and once went out to play with Fuping Hou Zhangfang. Emperor Hancheng came to Yang Afei's house, and the princess asked Geji to entertain him.

Zhao's charming eyes, beautiful and moving voice and graceful dancing all at once fascinated the emperor.

When he saw Zhao in Princess Yang A's house, he was very happy. He called on her to enter the palace. At this time, Emperor Han Chengdi met Zhao Yanfei, and from then on, he began a harem struggle, trying to please Emperor Han Chengdi.

Zhao Meili's appearance, lithe figure and outstanding dancing skills make her stand out among the concubines in the harem.

She performed a dance step, shaking her hand like a flower and moving like the wind, which fascinated the emperor. After Zhao Yanfei entered the palace, he was named Jieyu, and Emperor Gaozu loved Zhao Yanfei very much. Because he wanted to make Zhao the queen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished the queen and made it the queen.

You may think that Zhao Yanfei can fascinate Han Chengdi for a long time just because of her beauty and moving dance?

Actually, it's not. Besides being fascinated by beauty, Ye Zhao is a master who is good at using all his talents. A person who has never grown up and has no heart will generally die earlier.

Zhao is not only beautiful, but also thoughtful. In order to keep the emperor's heart, she recommended her younger sister Zhao Hede, who looks better than her, to the emperor. Zhao Hede's beauty made him envious, while Hede's gentleness made him anxious. He felt uneasy when he couldn't see his sisters. The emperor is more obedient to the words of the two sisters.

In order to please Zhao's sisters, Emperor Cheng abolished Xu, made Zhao the queen and Zhao Hede the queen. And the treatment of the two sisters is equally high. Emperor Cheng once said to Zhao Hede, If there is only one queen, I will build one for you. This shows that Zhao is not only beautiful, but also scheming.

But in the end, Zhao was forced to commit suicide. Zhao failed because she never wanted to make her own decisions and be a person who can control her own destiny. It's no use trying to please someone. Only by making your own decisions can you control your own destiny.

In this way, although Zhao is beautiful and thoughtful, she has no big ambitions. After doing so many bad things, she doesn't think about her future.

You know, in the ancient society where men were superior to women, women's lives were worthless, especially the lives of beautiful women, which were always described as femmes fatales.

Then he went on to tell the story of Zhao Hede after he was named Zhao Yi. Finally, Zhao Hede, Zhao's younger sister, was also named Zhao Yi, and the two sisters spoiled the harem and became prominent for a while.

At this time, Emperor Han Chengdi met Zhao, and from then on, Zhao began the days of harem fighting and pleasing Emperor Han Chengdi.

Although Zhao's sisters are spoiled, they have never been pregnant. They were afraid that other concubines would be pregnant and have children, threatening their junior status, so they killed the prince crazily, which led to the old Emperor Han Chengdi and thin children under his knees.

The reason why Zhao can't get pregnant is said to be a drug that can make her body light forever after taking it for a long time. This secret medicine is called Xiji Pill, which is stuffed in her navel. Using this medicine, not only will her body be light forever, but her skin will smell like honey, but it will cause her to be unable to get pregnant because she contains musk.

Later, Emperor Hancheng died of extravagance, and his ministers denounced Zhao's disaster. Zhao Hede knew he couldn't escape the blame and committed suicide.

Zhao ascended the throne for helping to become the nephew of the emperor. The new emperor was very grateful and still honored her as the empress dowager. During this period, some ministers said that Zhao had committed a big crime and her family had to sit together and point the finger at Zhao, but they didn't deal with it.

Six years later, after his death, Fu revived the past and forced Chair Zhao to commit suicide on the grounds of regicide. Zhao, who has never been in politics, is like this.
