"Anyway, it's a period of humiliation in the historical memory of the Han nationality." After a pause, Li Younan said, "And Xing Bingyi was Zhao Gou's first wife."
"During the Jingkang Incident, she and Zhao Gou's biological mother, Consort Wei, were captured by the Jurchens and taken north. She endured suffering in the Five Kingdoms City and died without returning south. Zhao Gou posthumously made her Empress."
"She came from a noble family and married Zhao Gou when he was King Kang. In ancient times, women were young when they got married, probably around eighteen or nineteen."
Chen Rui and Lan Yiyi couldn't help but be moved. They couldn't imagine what kind of humiliation a noblewoman of such standing would endure when taken to such a place in that era...
Li Younan sighed slightly. Talking about history always evokes a tinge of melancholy: "This woman is one of the symbolic figures of the immense humiliation of the Southern Song at its beginning, her fate extremely tragic."
