VI. Zhuge Liang's wife-Huang Yueying:
She did not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She may be a little self-aware. When Liu Bei visited Kongming’s “thatched house” for the second time and failed to return home (this person may have a voyeuristic hobby), he happened to meet Huang Chengyan, the father of Konglong, riding a donkey to meet him. The book describes it like this: "Xuande gets out of the saddle." Can scare Liu BeiIn this way, it can be seen that its appearance is really extraordinary. As the saying goes, a father must have a daughter. It is not difficult to imagine the appearance of "Kong Long".

Seven, Anonymous-Dongshi
Dongshi effect: the ugly girl came to emulate the shackles, and the family was shocked. (See Li Bai's "Ancient Wind") Because of her heartache, Xi Shi, a Vietnamese beauty, often holds her heart with her hands and frowns slightly. She looks very sick and beautiful. The ugly girl in the east also imitated Xi Shi's frowning, making her ugly appearance even more ugly and terrifying. The neighbors were bored with it, some kept their doors behind closed doors, and some simply fled with their wives and children. This is the origin of the allusion of "East Shi Xiaofeng". So Dong Shi and Xi Shi have become models of ugliness and beauty, living in people's words and writings. This is called "ugly and ugly, beautiful and beautiful".
Eight, Deng's wife:
Unkempt ears, nightmare lips and teeth, walking sideways stumbling. (See "Laughter Fu of Deng's Apprentice") It means disheveled hair, curled ears, gaping lips, sparse teeth, hunched back, and walking crookedly. Dengtuzi once told the king of Chu that Song Yu was lustful. Later, Song Yu defended himself in front of the King of Chu. Since Deng's disciple was not present, Song Yu was able to use the opportunity to excuse himself, vigorously defend himself, and lash out at Deng's disciple. Doctor Zhang Hua was bewildered and supported him, so that Song Yu was able to argue. In order to show that he is not good, Song Yu created a beauty that is unparalleled in the world. I said that this beauty has been on the wall for three years and peeked at herself, but he has been indifferent, so he relieved the King of Chu from worrying about his fornicating the harem. Then describe how Deng's disciple loves his ugly wife and has five children with her, thereby accusing Deng's disciple of "sexual lust" and making Deng's disciple suffer injustice. For more than two thousand years, "Dengtuzi" has become synonymous with "lust."
Nine, the ugly queen of the Western Jin Dynasty------Jiannanfeng:
Jiannanfeng, was the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty Huidi Simazhong, known as the Queen of Huijia in history. The father of Jia Nanfeng is Jia Chong, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty, and this is the main reason why she can marry the crown prince. The most famous ugly woman in history: According to historical records, Empress Huijia was short (about 1.4 meters), black and blue, with upturned nostrils, her lips protected the ground, and a large birthmark behind her eyebrows. According to the historical records "Book of Jin" and "Tong Jian of Zi Zhi", Jia Hou was very sexually abused. In addition to having an affair with the imperial physician, he often sent people on the road to find beautiful boys and tortured them. The emperor of "The First Biography of Jin Shu" said: "There are five things for the Wei public and the five things for the Jia public. The Wei family has many virtuous sons, beautiful and long white; the Jia family has jealous but few children, ugly and short black." Jananfeng's "violence" and "dictatorship" and the treacherous plot to dethrone the prince finally caused strong dissatisfaction and opposition from the kings of the Sima clan. Jananfeng’s intervention in politics finally led to the occurrence of the "Eight Kings Rebellion", which made the Western Jin Dynasty "decline of the clan", and the unified China has since fallen into a situation of more than 300 years of division. The guilt of Jananfeng himself is inevitable.
I thought God would close one window and open another window. People always expect that ugly people will have a kind heart, like the ugly and kind bell ringer Cassie in "Notre Dame de Paris" Modo, but it turns out notAll ugly women are virtuous!
Ten. The queen of Guangxu----Longyu
The queen of Guangxu, Yehenala, is a Cixi relative The daughter of the younger brother Guixiang is Empress Longyu. Empress Longyu was not pretty, she was thin and hunched. This marriage was given by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Although Guangxu was not satisfied, he was helpless. The marriage between Empress Yehenala and Emperor Guangxu was entirely a political marriage. Cixi married her niece to her nephew, the purpose of which was to learn about the emperor's internal affairs in the palace, to control and manipulate the emperor, and to pave the way for her mother's clan Bingzheng and the queen mother to listen to politics. After Emperor Guangxu and Empress Yehenala got married, their love and disagreement were always an unsatisfactory marriage. After the death of Guangxu, Xuantong succeeded to the throne, and the emblem of Empress Guangxu was "Longyu", which was the empress dowager of Longyu. Empress Dowager Longyu died in the Taiji Hall on the 17th day of the first month of the second year of the Republic of China (1913). Empress Longyu’s personality has always been unknown. Some people say that she is jealous and often slander Zhenfei in front of Empress Dowager Cixi. However, in the "Manuscripts of Qing History" and the memoirs of court lady De Ling in the late Qing Dynasty, they hold another view. They describe Empress Longyu as gentle. , I don’t like to take care of things, and I have a lot of dabbling in history books... I don’t know the truth? But I heard that she was a pretty girl, and the emperor was forced to choose her as the queen, so Guangxu didn’t like her very much. Event: Guangxu favored the concubine Zhen, but never entered the queen's palace, so the queen felt aggrieved and cried to the empress dowager Cixi; Cixi ordered Guangxu to be lucky to empress Longyu that night, and aroused the anger of Emperor Guangxu...Night , The queen returned to her residence and found a person lying on the bed, she was happy, thinking that the emperor had arrived; when she saw it, she saw a dog with skin peeled after death, she was scared to death on the spot... Needless to say, this was done by Guangxu.
It seems that even ugly women who are queens are equally unhappy!
Many of the ugly women above are married to celebrity husbands, and the husband of the first-ranked mother is still the Yellow Emperor. After reading these stories, I suddenly wondered, if there were no prominent husbands, would they still be remembered by the world? Even if it is recorded in the book, there is only a so-and-so that can't be checked. It seems that today, whether it is beautiful women or ugly women Fortunately, if you can make a name for yourself, you won’t be able to leave only a so-and-so!
Talent and insight are sometimes forced out. The ugly and ordinary girls seem to have no ambitions, but they can spend the most energy and time thinking. Because when other young women are showing off and applying fat and powder, the ugly girls don’t need to "lean on the door and stand with pedestrians looking sideways." They still read books when they are idle; when the beauties are busy capturing men, wandering away, and showing their charm, They simply went to specialize in expertise. However, these ugly girls are not weak, they have their own goals to implement quietly.
Although those celebrities have married ugly wives, people in the world still admire more, but still seem to have less envy. Presumably these ugly women are not really happy. If they allow plastic surgery to become beautiful women, they are probably willing to pick it up right away. Scalpels, some of them may become signs, symbols, and symbols of a country, or they may be good helpers, teachers, and loyal ministers. They alone will not be ideal lovers.
However, it can only be said that if a person is congenital deficiency and cannot get the convenient advantages enjoyed by handsome men and beautiful women, then he can only rely on acquired hard work and wisdom to win the home and realize his ambition!
