As soon as this comment was posted, everyone in front of their computers couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment. However, in just a short while, dozens of replies had already piled up below.

“…Strong, well, that is indeed very strong. After all, in that ancient environment, not everyone could be as carefree and unrestrained as Empress Zhaoyuan for a whole lifetime. Even in the end, when her crown prince son wasn’t up to par, it didn’t stop her from enjoying a beautiful, blissful life all the way through.”

“She almost lived to eighty or ninety without any illness or disaster!”

It’s said her passing was especially sudden, without any suffering at all. It’s highly possible she simply wasn’t willing to live anymore, fearing hardship.

In front of their screens, more than one person let out a sigh.

Heh, no wonder some people call her the ultimate lucky dog. This kind of fortune is truly unmatched.

“Exactly! But the most incredible part isn’t that earth-shattering cry in front of Emperor Xuanming, which literally cried an almost-dead emperor back to life.” It was practically love beyond death~

To be blunt, at that scene, the civil and military officials, the consorts and princes, their jaws practically hit the floor!

That one act alone was enough to secure her a place in the historical records, plus allow her to live beautifully and unrestrained for several more decades.

“Otherwise, in history, there are countless tragic endings for favored consorts, and this one’s temperament was also… *cough* those who know, know.

Although Emperor Xuanming himself tried his best to whitewash things, creating all sorts of extravagant praise for his empress—ah, things like ‘her nature is pure and sincere, her beauty is heaven-sent, seeing her is like beholding the bright sun’… ‘Yue’er has always been quite popular, interacting with her is like a fish in water, like drinking fine wine, making one joyful and delighted.’

In short, in one sentence, his Yue’er was beautiful and pure, and her temperament was even more excellent. Not only he, the emperor himself, but also everyone in the Front Court and Rear Palace, all the external relatives and consorts, anyone who had contact with her, no one didn’t love his Yue’er…”

“Eww~ ‘Excellent temperament’!” Typing rapidly, the person couldn’t help but shudder and silently typed a line to vent:

“Heh, no wonder they say history is a little girl who can be dressed up. If we didn’t know what kind of temperament this one had, if it weren’t for her being truly too legendary and the number of people recording her being too many, we later generations might have really been fooled!”

“Exactly, what the person above said is right. Other things aside, ‘excellent temperament’~” That filter must be eight feet thick!

Not long after, someone else quickly chimed in:

“An ‘excellent temperament’ that made almost the entire palace avoid her, leaving her without a single friend in the whole harem. On the day of the incident, it was even more so. If Emperor Xuanming hadn’t woken up quickly, well, everyone would have practically rolled up their sleeves and gone after her.”

Although a favored consort attracts hatred, to attract this level of hate, *cough*, is also impressive!

“Haha, after all, a love-struck fool. Probably in Emperor Xuanming’s eyes, his Yue’er naturally had not a single flaw!”

As these words fell, everyone fell silent again for a moment:

“That’s true. A love-struck fool, especially a top-tier one like Emperor Xuanming who loved to the point of ‘coming back from death’, is truly not something we mere mortals can understand!”

“Don’t understand +1”

“Don’t understand +2”

………

“Eww~ ‘Excellent temperament’!” Typing rapidly, the person couldn’t help but shudder and silently typed a line to vent:

“Cough… Indeed, according to unofficial histories, this one didn’t even go to pay respects to the Empress Dowager more than a few times, and when encountering other consorts, she paid absolutely no attention! Even towards the emperor himself, she was often impolite!”

So arrogant!

If this can be called an ‘excellent temperament’ and ‘good popularity’, then truly no one else can match it!

Unfortunately, this comment was quickly refuted by the reply below:

“The comment above is a bit excessive. It’s called unofficial history for a reason. Can you trust that stuff?”

Not long after, someone else quickly chimed in:

Why use those unofficial histories to throw mud at her?”

“Although, based on the above records, this empress’s temperament really wasn’t that gentle.”

What a way to put it!

“Cough, sister above, don’t get agitated. After all, it was Emperor Jingtai himself who recorded her as ‘unrestrained and following her own heart, acting freely, extremely skilled at pleasing herself, with nothing able to disturb her heart…’

Emperor Jing’s little chronicle even specifically noted:

That year, Imperial Father passed away. Empress Dowager was heartbroken, wearing plain clothes daily, with no more splendid robes, gold, jade, or jewelry to be seen. I worried greatly, fearing her excessive grief would harm her internally. However, during this period, the imperial physicians constantly came to check her pulse, and there was not the slightest bit of damage…”

“Pfft… ‘Not the slightest bit of damage.’ So, Emperor Xuanming was a love-struck fool for several decades, almost a whole lifetime. Well, as soon as he was gone, while this empress was sad, her body didn’t suffer any harm whatsoever.”

“Exactly, Emperor Jingtai was stunned!”

“Stunned, and probably cried with envy too! Hahaha *hic~*”

“Of course. That Emperor Jingtai probably dreamed of how good it would be if he could get a share of that physique. Haha…”

Someone downstairs quickly replied:

“Speaking of good health being one thing, but the fact she could be this awesome shows that this so-called ‘heartbreak’ was also quite limited in degree!”

“Pfft, what to do, suddenly I feel Empress Zhaoyuan’s temperament is also quite interesting!”

“Yeah, it’s just that she only loved herself. Aside from herself, she couldn’t love anyone else much! No wonder she could live a life of noble and precious status, happy and carefree for so long!” someone couldn’t help but say enviously.

Indeed, love yourself, and others are more likely to love you!

“Cough…”

“Suddenly remembered the previous records about Empress Zhaoyuan. Among all those daily records, those involving her children, to be blunt, can be counted on one hand. Princess Yongle was better off, living nearby, and could often bring her children to pay respects and keep her company. Poor Prince An, that’s the one the Empress Dowager usually didn’t remember at all!”

“Only when she received a gift that suited her taste would she remember to give a few insincere words of praise!”

Of course, that was rare too, because Empress Zhaoyuan never lacked people presenting her with rare treasures at any time.

“To be honest, in terms of communication, even affection, I’m afraid it was less than with Emperor Jingtai, who came almost daily to check in, pay respects, spar, accompany meals, not to mention chasing all the same trends!”

It’s also unbelievable! Biological mother and son actually couldn’t compare to an outsider!

Could this be the royal family’s standard operation? Thinking about Emperor Jingtai’s tense and cold relationship with that Empress Dowager Qi, and then looking at this pair of emperor and empress dowager who almost became the benchmark.

It’s just that Emperor Xuanming left late!

Well, actually, thinking about it, it’s not surprising…

“After all, mooching off longevity, mooching off immortal aura~ Not shabby, hahahaha!”

Immortal aura, well, also true. A sixty-year-old person, maintained to look younger than some thirty-year-olds, isn’t that immortal aura?!

Downstairs, someone soon laughed again:

“And to be honest, facts prove Emperor Jingtai’s thinking was reasonable. Look at the pitiful average lifespan of his old Xiao family. If the Late Emperor relied on ‘true love’ to dodge a bullet, achieving a multiple increase in lifespan. Prince An and Princess Yongle, these two relied entirely on their biological mother’s genes to defeat the old Xiao family and achieve longevity.”

Then this Emperor Jingtai living into his seventies relied entirely on smarts and good judgment.”

“Besides, there are so many records about Empress Zhaoyuan. Not to mention the ones in museums, those hundreds of paintings and poems Emperor Xuanming treasured like a treasure, and later Emperor Jingtai’s almost meticulous little chronicles. Aren’t these enough to look at?

“Truly an impressive person! Worthy of being the one who, with a ‘true love son’ ahead, could still make Emperor Xuanming change the crown prince at the ‘last moment’.”

“Agree with the comment above. Moreover, as monarchs equally renowned in historical records, while Emperor Xuanming had the ‘weakness’ of true love, this one truly displayed the essence of ‘the emperor has no heart’, turning his back without recognition to the extreme.”

Whether towards the Front Court, or the Rear Palace.”

While typing, someone couldn’t help but tsked:

“If there were extremely few exceptions, it was probably only towards this Empress Zhaoyuan!”

“This one’s little chronicle praised her more than once, even personally saying, ‘Empress Dowager’s heart and nature are of utmost purity, thus she can align with her innate nature in the way of swordsmanship, saying what I learned is just superficial knowledge’!”

Truly father and son, they are indeed similar in some aspects!

“What the person above said is right. But this Empress Zhaoyuan was indeed impressive. Not to mention the swordsmanship even the emperor praised to the extreme, that attitude towards life, putting herself first in everything, and that internal drive that always allowed herself to be carefree and happy, was indeed very powerful!”

“Besides, this Empress was truly a top-tier beauty with first-rate taste. Thanks to the two emperors’ detailed records, especially Emperor Xuanming’s vast collection of paintings, the various styles of outfits, makeup, and that unrestrained, radiant aura in the paintings are truly heart-stirring.”

“No wonder she could turn a dignified emperor, and a formidable one at that, directly into a love-struck fool renowned in historical records, who couldn’t rest easy even in death, stubbornly holding on for another thirty years!”

The one and only brazenly open favoritism from an extremely rational emperor!

“Tsk, the gold content of that!”

“And this kind of person, just being by their side, no, just looking at their paintings, your mood seems to relax!”

“Pfft… ‘Not the slightest bit of damage.’ So, Emperor Xuanming was a love-struck fool for several decades, almost a whole lifetime. Well, as soon as he was gone, while this empress was sad, her body didn’t suffer any wear and tear whatsoever.”

“Haha… What do you call this? As long as I am good enough, there will never be a shortage of ‘good sons’ below!”

In front of their screens, many people couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths, then collectively sighed:

“Really envious. God-tier lying down and winning. The biggest hardship this one probably suffered in her whole life was that world-shaking push from that ‘Divine Physician Qi’!”

And even then, the unlucky ones were others!

Truly arrogant and domineering for a lifetime, making a bunch of old rivals hate her to death, yet they could never finish her off!

Putting ourselves in their shoes, it’s stifling to death!

“Exactly! This luck, this level of good fortune…”

“Heaven bless, let this humble one mooch some immortal aura!”

“Mooch immortal aura +1”

“Mooch immortal aura +2”

***

“Mooch immortal aura +99999…”
