With the popularity of the TV series "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan" and the spread of related folk dramas, the image of Wang Baochuan's bitter lover is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But is Wang Baochuan really a love brain and a bitter lover who has been waiting for her husband for 18 years?
In the Peking Opera "Red-Maned Horse", she is not only not a sensual bitter woman, but a proper scheming heroine.
Before Wang Baochuan met Xue Pinggui, he dreamed that the red star fell into his room, which was a sign of good luck.
Wang Baochuan, who has read poetry and classics since he was a child and is well versed in the art of face-to-face, understands the meaning of dreams.
When she saw Xue Pinggui for the first time, she saw that his ears were hanging down his shoulders and his hands were above his knees, he looked quite rich and noble, and he would definitely be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future.
So he secretly made up his mind that he must be his husband.
It is not so much that the two fell in love at first sight, but rather the first step in Wang Baochuan's calculations.
She has always known that her goal has never been to marry an ordinary nobleman like her sisters, but to be the most noble woman in the world.
Even if her father didn't agree with her marrying Xue Pinggui, who was still a beggar, she could resolutely high-five him three times and break off the father-daughter relationship, which was ruthless enough.
Facts have proved that Wang Baochuan's vision is still good, after Xue Pinggui subdued the red-maned fierce horse, he was officially crowned the military governor.
However, due to being squeezed out by the villain, Xue Pinggui still went to Xiliang.
This has been more than ten years, during which Wang Baochuan has been working hard in the cold kiln, and his beliefs can be seen in general.
In the 18th year, Wang Baochuan heard the news that Xue Pinggui married Princess Daizhan, so he bit his finger with his own hands and wrote a bloody letter, crying blood and tears, and any man would not be moved when he saw it.
Sure enough, after Xue Pinggui received the blood letter, he tried his best to escape from Xiliang and returned to the cold kiln to reunite with Wang Baochuan.
Xue Pinggui told Wang Baochuan that he was now the king of Xiliang, and the princess of Daizhan also came with troops to take Chang'an.
Wang Baochuan saw that Xue Pinggui's career was about to succeed now, so he threatened Xue Pinggui with the 18 years of hard work and asked Xue Pinggui for a reward.
Wang Baochuan saw Xue Pinggui's embarrassed face, so he knew that he was worried about the princess of Daizhan, and immediately said that he could be a side concubine.
However, after Xue Pinggui ascended the throne, Wang Baochuan took the initiative to contact and win over the group of civil officials headed by his father, and did not agree to the princess as the queen on behalf of the princess on the grounds that there was no precedent for the queen of Fanbang in the ancestral system.
Such ambition, scheming and planning are really extraordinary.
In the end, Wang Baochuan ascended to the throne of the queen, not only did he not die after 18 days as the queen was shown on TV, but he was also in a high position and grace, becoming the biggest winner.
Note: Wang Baochuan is only a fictional character in folk culture, and his story has various versions, which cannot be regarded as historical facts. However, Wang Baochuan does have a prototype character in history, and next time we will do it.
