In the Forbidden City in Beijing, there were portraits of emperors and concubines, but there was only one portrait without facial features. The owner of this portrait was said to be the portrait of Concubine Dong E, who Shunzhi had been infatuated with for his entire life. There were many legends about this portrait and its owner, but there were very few records about Consort Dong E in the history books. On the contrary, there were many unofficial stories about her. However, the poignant love between her and Shunzhi made the world sigh. It could be said that such a woman was blessed to be loved by Shunzhi. Not long after her death, Shunzhi was too sad and went into seclusion. For a time, he was called a femme fatale by some so-called righteous people.
Xiyan was looking at the Baidu information about Consort Dong E on the Internet. Her eyes immediately lit up. She had a strong interest in the history of the Qing Dynasty since she was a child. What she longed for the most was the lingering life and death love between Consort Dong E and Shunzhi. She was especially touched by Huo Siyan's version of Consort Dong E. It made her sad. There really was such a beautiful love in the world. What kind of woman could obtain such deep love from an emperor? For her, she was willing to give up her throne and enter the empty door, gathering the love of 3,000 people.
At this point, she had developed a strong interest in Concubine Dong E. She made up her mind to visit the Forbidden City to see Concubine Dong E's former residence. She was also curious about the portrait of Concubine Dong E that she had found on Baidu. She was curious about who had left behind such a portrait of Concubine Dong E without any facial features. The mysteries in her heart were eager to be solved. She was eager to know the truth, so she went to her aunt who worked in the Forbidden City.
Her aunt was a staff member of the Forbidden City, so she could go to places that tourists could not see. The places that were not opened were even more fascinating, and it was said that Consort Dong E's residence was also among the places that were not opened. When Xiyan arrived at her aunt's house, she had just received a mission to go to the Forbidden City on duty. Xiyan did not even leave her luggage behind and immediately begged her aunt to take her to the Forbidden City.
Her aunt could not stand her coaxing and pestering, so she reluctantly agreed to go with her. However, she kept nagging her to promise that she would not go to places that she could not go. She could only follow her and not walk around. Moreover, if anyone asked, they would say that they were here to draw the floor plan of the Forbidden City. It was said that the Forbidden City was going to be renovated a while ago, so the engineers who drew were allowed to appear in the Forbidden City.
Therefore, her aunt used this method to bring Xiyan into the heavily guarded Forbidden City. Looking at the majestic palace gate, Xiyan saw that everything in front of her was so pure, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, without the miscellaneous idlers. Looking around, everything was almost the same as hundreds of years ago.
