Although the plots and characters in the Palace Ci in Song Dynasty are fictional, many characters have prototypes, such as Li Waner, Liu E's most trusted maid. When she first appeared in Li Wan, the audience didn't think her scene was important. In fact, knowing her historical prototype, we know that Li Waner is also a household name.
Li Waner's prototype is Empress Zhang Yi, who is also known as Li Chenfei. After her father died and her mother remarried, she cut her hair and was taken into the palace by Liu E as a personal maid. At that time, Liu E and Li had a good relationship. The saddest thing for Liu E is that she didn't have a child for Zhao Hengsheng. Later, she thought of it? Borrow a baby? Method, let pregnant with qin, and then Li Sheng married the prince and announced the birth of Liu E.
The arrival of this child changed the fate of Liu E and Li. Liu E was eventually promoted to queen, while Li was named Wan Yi. After Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong succeeded to the throne, Liu E was honored as the Empress Dowager. She promoted Li obedient and arranged for her to go to Yongding Mausoleum as the true mausoleum, which belonged to Liu E and was raised with Yang.
Although Li is her biological mother, she has never been proud of it. Later, Li was seriously ill, and Liu Acai appointed her. On the day of the memorial, Li died. Later, Zhao Zhen was very sad to learn that Li Chenfei was his biological mother, so he made your father Li Chenfei the Empress Dowager, posthumous title Yi Cheung.
Li Waner in Song Gong Ci is Li Chenfei in history, but the characterization is somewhat different from the real history. Her identity in the play is indeed Zhao Zhen's biological mother.
