《宫女的故事》：揭秘那些动人的历史真相，感受王更新带来的深刻情感共鸣，全程免费聆听。
紫禁城隔壁老王家的秀儿，是我发小，10岁的年龄，正好在官家说的圈里头。老王自卖自夸，觉着秀儿模样俊俏，担心被官家选走。急慌慌地，找个男人就嫁了。提亲时，太阳刚露脸儿，落山的时候，亲事就定了。秀儿真可怜，我后来才知道，那样的，就算给负责选秀的官人们送礼，也一准没戏！
紫禁城爷爷说，在我们这里皇家选秀女的事经历好几代了。我进宫以后发现，有一个女人，就是爷爷说的那种：女人要想翻江倒海，不是只有武则天一种路子。
紫禁城我入宫后，一开始就是打杂，然后侍奉万贵妃的起居，这个工作，我一直做到逃出宫门。这回直到爷爷去世，我们都没见上一面。我被堵了个正着，只能往脸上涂些锅底灰，被官员带走了！这回直到逃出宫门，我才能自由呼吸。
紫禁城那时候宫里的规矩实在太严，不允许随意串门。不守规矩轻了叱骂重了就要挨板子，有些地方23年里我一次也没有去过，所以有些事也是听说。
紫禁城最后，这一天还是到来了。万贵妃被吴皇后叫过去，被打了一顿板子。她回来后白嫩肉皮净是血痕。但一切都按正常步骤进行着，她觉着吴皇后敢打她的，就是在打皇上的脸。果然龙颜大怒之后吴皇后不是皇后啦，还连她父亲都受牵连，被罚去朱元璋陵墓种菜。
紫禁城万贵妃的男人是朱见深，他还有一件必须做的事情，还没有完成：为皇帝生一个儿子。一年以后万贵妃喜得贵子，看上去似乎一切都朝着好的方向走。但第二年，小皇子就得病死了。这一年万贵妃38岁，然后这个年龄的她，就没有然后了。
Purple Forbidden City
At the age of 10, I was selected as a candidate for the imperial harem. My parents were overjoyed and quickly arranged my marriage to an old man from next door. The marriage was settled before the sun rose and set. I was heartbroken, knowing that even if I gave gifts to the officials in charge of selecting girls, there would be no chance for me.
The Purple Forbidden City is vast and complex, with strict rules governing every aspect of life within its walls. Those who break these rules are punished severely - either with verbal reprimands or physical beatings. Some areas of the palace remained unexplored by me during my 23 years here; some things could only be heard about.
The Purple Forbidden City is where emperors have been selecting girls for generations. Once inside, one cannot leave without permission - not even when death approaches.
In this place where life can end abruptly at any moment, it's hard to find joy or purpose. Yet I found solace in serving Wan Guifei (the Empress) and her ladies-in-waiting.
One day, Wan Guifei was beaten by Wu Hou (the Imperial Noble Consort) who dared challenge her authority before Emperor Jingtai (Zhu Qizhen). In response to this affront against his dignity, Emperor Jingtai deposed Wu Hou and banished her father to cultivate vegetables at Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb.
Wan Guifei's husband is none other than Emperor Jingtai himself! What more could she possibly want? But then came another tragedy: Wan Guifei died at the age of 58 due to illness while still grieving over her lost son; soon after followed Emperor Jingtai's own untimely demise at just 41 years old!
As a palace girl like myself who had known neither love nor freedom until now realized that true happiness comes from emotional connections alone - not wealth nor status.
