Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 246 Lady Peach Blossom, Xi Gui

"But at some point during the process, Hua Yuan's chariot suddenly went out of control and crashed into the enemy camp."

"Although Hua Yuan shouted for Yang Zhen to stop, it was too late. Yang Zhen only wanted revenge at this moment, and continued to advance with his whip raised."

Just then, Yang Zhen spoke up: "Commander, you decided on yesterday's mutton soup, so I didn't get any; today, I'll decide on today's chariots, so you won't get any!"

"Only at this moment did Hua Yuan realize Yang Zhen's true intentions, but even if he wanted to take remedial action, it was too late."

"As for the Zheng state, they were puzzled as to how the enemy's commander-in-chief had arrived before them. For a moment, they dared not move against him, fearing it might be a trap."

"But not long after, seeing the Song commander's carriage driving recklessly in their direction, and not seeming to have any backup plans, they surrounded it and instantly captured the Song general Hua Yuan."

"The battle ended in defeat for the State of Song. However, the ruler of Song wanted to spend money to ransom Hua Yuan, but Hua Yuan had already escaped from the State of Zheng on his own. It is unknown whether he will continue to hire grooms at will."

A farming expert in the Ming Dynasty: I never expected to lose so much because of the groom!

A romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: This story teaches us that when you have food, you must share it with others! Don't forget anyone!

A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: But he really knows how to hold a grudge! How can a bowl of mutton soup compare to an entire country!

"Let's talk about a few more things from the Spring and Autumn Period, and then we'll stop here. As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty. Whether you're a man or a woman, you'll always appreciate beautiful things."

"But I never imagined that during the Spring and Autumn Period there was a beautiful woman who made three rulers infatuated with her, so much so that they would bang their heads against walls for her, and some even lost their kingdoms because of her."

"This woman is Xi Gui, one of the four beauties of the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as Lady Peach Blossom. It is said that peach blossoms bloomed when she was born."

"Her father was the ruler of the State of Chen. At that time, she was going to marry into the State of Xi and become the ruler's wife. However, she had to pass through the State of Cai on the way. The ruler of Cai was also the husband of her sister, so the reason why Marquis Ai of Cai proposed to keep Xi Gui was quite legitimate."

"But to Xi Gui's surprise, Marquis Ai of Cai disrespected her. Upon learning this, Marquis Xi was furious and sent someone to offer a plan to King Wen of Chu:"

Please pretend to attack our country. Then I will ask the State of Cai for help, and they will surely send someone to assist me. Finally, you can take the opportunity to attack the State of Cai and capture Marquis Ai of Cai alive.

Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: This guy is pretty ruthless!

A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: Maybe he's had this idea for a while now!?

A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "But Lady Peach Blossom is really beautiful!"

……

"Not long after, the State of Chu, heeding the advice of Marquis Xi, successfully captured Marquis Ai of Cai alive. However, he harbored resentment and deliberately told King Wen of Chu that Xi Gui was extremely beautiful."

"That's why when Marquis Xi hosted a banquet, King Wen of Chu took the opportunity to capture Marquis Xi and seize Lady Peach Blossom."

"Not only that, but he also made Xi Hou guard the gate. Xi Gui originally wanted to commit suicide, but she had no choice but to obey King Wen of Chu for the sake of Xi Hou's life. After that, she entered the Chu palace and gave birth to two more sons in three years."

"But Xi Gui didn't talk much. When King Wen of Chu asked her, she simply said that she had married two husbands and what else could she say? But King Wen of Chu thought it was the fault of Marquis Ai of Cai, so he attacked the State of Cai again."

"Later, Xi Gui's two sons fought each other for the throne, which led to the fall of military and state power into the hands of Zi Yuan, the younger brother of King Wen of Chu."

"However, since this Ziyuan was not a good ruler either, and even took the opportunity to flirt with Xigui, he eventually met his demise as well."
