I saw a statement on the Internet that Wang Xifeng's creative prototype was Empress Renxian of Emperor Shunzhi, and Ping'er's creative prototype was Concubine Dong E.
I don't think it's correct, because although Empress Renxian is not favored, she has not been divorced, and Ping'er is not Concubine Dong E.
Because Concubine Dong E was already an imperial concubine when she was alive, Empress Renxian could not scold the imperial concubine Dong E because she was in a bad mood, after all, the harem system was there.
And Jia Lian and Shunzhi's ability and power are different, although Jia Lian is more capable than Baoyu, but in terms of the ability to deal with officialdom disputes, Emperor Shunzhi is much more powerful than Jia Lian.
Although Empress Renxian was almost abolished, she still became the queen mother in the end, so her fate is much stronger than the fate of Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions".
I think the creative prototype of Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions" is likely to be Cao Xueqin's sister-in-law.
Because in "The Secret History of Qianlong", in Zhao Baoqin's imagination, Wang Jinfeng did not die, but lived with Qiao'er Ban'er, and could go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and cook for Qiao'er Ban'er, and lived a busy, simple but comfortable life.
Zhao Baoqin in "The Secret History of Qianlong" is a Baoyu who lived in the Qianlong period, his personality is very similar to Baoyu, and their family was raided because they had a good relationship with Honghui.
Lin Fengfeng and Xue Wujun are Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, Saitama is Miaoyu, and Pearl is Mandarin Duck.
According to "Very Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Knowledge", I learned that Lin Daiyu's creative prototype is Cao Xueqin and his cousin Li Xiangyu.
Then Wang Xifeng's historical prototype is Cao Xueqin's sister-in-law or the wife of a relative and friend.
