The life of the fortune-telling empress dowager

This legendary woman is Li Lingrong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the history of China. Li Lingrong's history books record that he is slender but dark. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this did not accord with people's aesthetics. Scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty liked fair-skinned and delicate women, and it was difficult for a dark-skinned person like Li Lingrong to get the appreciation of princes and nobles. I can only be a maid of honor in obscurity. In fact, Li Lingrong is not ugly, but not in line with people's aesthetics at that time.

However, fate is so wonderful. Wang Jizhi has never had a son since he succeeded to the throne. The emperor was very frustrated, and there were some rumors circulating among the people, which made the emperor very embarrassed. The emperor wanted to have a son very much, so he asked a fortune teller to tell his fortune. The fortune teller pinched his finger and said, Your Majesty, you will meet a virtuous woman and have two sons, one of whom will make the Eastern Jin Dynasty strong and become an excellent king. ?

The emperor quickly asked the fortuneteller to find someone. The fortune teller looked at the woman in the palace and shook his head until he saw Li Lingrong. He quickly said, yes, that's her. In this way, Li Lingrong became an imperial concubine. Later, I really gave birth to two sons for the emperor. One of his sons, Sima Yao, was the best emperor in the history of Eastern Jin Dynasty. Li Lingrong also moved forward step by step. Although she was only a concubine at first because of her humble background, her mother and her son were noble. In the end, she was promoted all the way.

In this way, Li Lingrong was careful. After his two sons grew up to inherit the throne, Li Lingrong became the highest authority in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a legendary ugly girl, and changed from a tool to one of the noblest people in China history. Li Lingrong's personal experience is also full of legend, which is talked about by later generations.
