The prototype of Empress Cao is actually the Empress Sheng Guangxian in the Northern Song Dynasty. Her real name is Dan Shu, and she is Zhao Zhen's second queen in Song Renzong. Queen Cao's appearance in history is not outstanding, and she is not as dazzling as the hero in the play. She is naturally generous and informal, and should be a man, but Nv Jiao's talent and mind are helpless. In the eyes of the former Cao Empress, marriage is not the only place for her daughter. She only hates that she is not a man and her ambition is nowhere to be displayed. Before entering the palace, Dan Shu had married a husband, but the man was addicted to practicing Taoism and ignored the world at all. Uncle Dan made peace with him and went home again.
At that time, after the abolition of Song Renzong, people elected Cao Shi, the granddaughter of Cao Bin, as the queen, which actually went against Song Renzong's mind. However, in the imperial court at that time in the Song Dynasty, civil servants' suggestions could drown people with one mouthful saliva, and Song Renzong was also a good emperor who listened to advice. He chose Cao Zhi as the queen, but ignored Cao Zhi's power and deliberately ignored the queen on his wedding night. Until later, it was just a gift from the monarch and ministers. And Cao queen's personality is a bit arrogant, and her appearance is not outstanding, which can't attract her husband. From the first day she learned that she had become a queen, Dan Shu told herself that she must be a strict and good queen, and she must not make mistakes and ignore the feeling of being left out as a wife.
As a queen, she is undoubtedly successful. She respects her husband as a guest. She can share her worries for her husband through her talents, and she can also learn from elegant Song Renzong. In order to perform the duties of the queen, she managed the harem in an orderly way, never jealous or partial. Queen Cao is a model of a strong woman in modern society. She regards self-discipline as a dogma she believes in all her life, but it also hurts too many hearts emotionally.
When watching the drama, we often worry about the embarrassment and rigidity of Queen Cao's feelings. Every time the relationship between the two people is slightly eased, we will have another state dispute. Therefore, judging from the fact that Queen Cao has no children or daughters in her life, it is even more unpopular. what do you think?
