Book Review

I never thought that one day I would witness the archaeological discovery of Nagato Palace.

Close to the door, Gillian. Because of a woman, the word "Nagato" is both sad and bitter.

Queen Chen Wu did not leave a name or a word in the history books. Only an unknown story of Hanwu has brought her countless topics. Empress Chen, her name is Jiao. Chen Jiao's life is closely related to an imperial edict, two idioms and two palaces.

The golden house hides the charming, the golden daughter buys the blessing, the Jiaofang temple and the palace.

She is princess royal's daughter, Dou Taihou's granddaughter, Han Jing's niece, the cousin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the first queen and the only woman he promised.

Young Herry Liu made a promise, but ambitious Liu Che broke it. Young people's feelings are the purest, but they are also the easiest to forget.

Therefore, I suddenly want to talk about "Out of the Golden House". Of all the scholars in Chen Ajiao, this is my favorite and unforgettable one. Perhaps it is because of this Gillian that she is the most charming girl in China and South Korea, and this one has preserved the original appearance to the maximum extent.

Gillian in this story was reminded by a voice from an early age: don't go into the golden house. I was reminded by Gillian in my last life that I was cautious in my words and deeds and did good deeds everywhere, but I still couldn't escape my mother's arrangement. The world only sees the beauty of the golden house and the dignity of the pepper house, but no one has ever asked the heroine of the story if she agrees. She has no right to refuse the golden house, she can only accept it.

Chen Jiao in the pepper room, hiding himself under the ice, is not jealous, domineering and noisy. She is the closest person in Liu Che's bed. She knows his ambition of drinking horses, encouraging him to drive away the ambition of Xiongnu, and tolerating his heartless playboy. She is filial to the queen mother; She turned a blind eye to state affairs; For the future, she comes step by step. In addition to the son-in-law, take care of the family, raise the prince, remove all dangers and sit back and relax.

She arranged everything for the Chen family and the Dou family, got the golden house, avoided the tragedy of being stranded, and became an out-and-out "virtuous queen". At the same time, I lost myself and was no longer happy. She tried all kinds of methods, but she still couldn't be happy. Her heart is very small, she just wants a person's exclusive love, but she can't get it.

In the end, she chose to walk out of the golden house, not wanting the dignity of the queen, just wanting to make herself happy.

Liu Che in this story is still ambitious, suspicious and thoughtful, and still "can go without food for three days, but not without women for one day". It's just that he left a place for Gillian after all. He protected her, cared for her, arranged everything for her and built a house made of gold for her. However, after all, he is the richest emperor in the world, and he has too much to love only one. His heart is so big that he can hold the whole world, and Chen Jiao is only a tiny part of it. He knew Gillian was unhappy, but he didn't know why. He thought he had conquered Gillian, but in the end he lost her.

At the end of the story, the little girl returned to Chang 'an from Luoyang with her mother's body. She told Liu Che how Chen Jiao escaped from Weiyang. She told Chen Jiao when he died. She told him:

I can't judge whether this ending is good or bad, but I think it is the best ending for both of us.

? There are many routines of Su Shuang's rebirth in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, but it also contains the cruelty of historical reality. If Chen Jiao is really reborn, if she really moves step by step, is she still happy? Is she still that Chen Jiao?

Gillian lived in seclusion in Nagato in her previous life, but she was happy all her life. She laughed impudently and cursed heartily. She is free and unscrupulous. She was really happy even though the ending was bleak.

In this life, Gillian got the golden house, but she was never happy. She dare not be presumptuous, nor can she relax. She had scruples and turned herself into a piece of ice. She smiled at the neon on the horizon, rejoiced at the flowers sprinkled on her by Liu Che, and shed tears for the golden house, but other than that, there seemed to be no other fun. Even if I run away, I don't know if I am happy. She pursued her whole life for happiness, and died in a foreign land, with no regrets but no gains.

What Liu Che promised and gave was a realistic golden house, but what Gillian wanted was an inner golden house where she was the only one.

I think, maybe Gillian in the story failed to get out of her golden house after all.
