The reason why Zhao Ji likes Lao Ai so much is because Lao Ai can not only meet Zhao Ji’s needs, but also give her the love she longs for, and can also help with trivial matters. In Zhao Ji’s heart, Lao Ai is a perfect person. People are so obsessed with Lao Ai.
Ying Zheng was young when he succeeded to the throne and had not yet truly taken power. Many queen mothers would take advantage of the new emperor's young age to firmly hold power in their hands. However, Zhao Ji recorded by Sima Qian did not care about court affairs and was disdainful of rights. She only wanted to renew her relationship with Lu Buwei. It can be seen that in Zhao Ji's heart, life is more important than rights.
Because Zhao Ji is just one of the wives of the stranger, the relationship between the two has not reached the point of life and death, and Zhao Ji is still young and beautiful, and is unwilling to remain a widow, so she begins to have a relationship with her. Her ex-husband Lu Buwei had an affair.
Sima Qian recorded that after Lu Buwei found Lao Ai, he often asked Lao Ai to perform music, and Lao Ai was even able to "walk with her Yin Guan Tong Lun". After Zhao Ji heard about it, she "got it for herself", maybe because of the novelty, or because of Lao Ai's handsome appearance. Zhao Ji, who was already the queen mother, was very satisfied with Lao Ai and even wanted to possess him.
It can be seen that the reason why Lao Ai can make Zhao Ji obsessed is because Lao Ai can give Zhao Ji the love she dreams of, because at this time Zhao Ji has no shortage of material things, but she has always been spiritually lacking. Lacking love, Lao Ai just happened to be able to give Zhao Ji the love she wanted.
