The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty of feudal society, and Cixi was the chief culprit of the decline of the Qing Dynasty. She loves power and longs to be another Wu Zetian, from an ordinary maid-in-waiting to a queen mother above ten thousand people. People's comments on her are mostly negative, thinking that she is extravagant and wasteful, trusting treacherous court officials, killing important officials, being conformist and blindly arrogant.
But after all, she is also a woman, and there is someone she loves in her heart, and that person is Emperor Xianfeng. Later, western technology was introduced to China, and Cixi especially liked taking pictures. Every time she takes a photo, she will wear this pair of earrings given to her by her beloved.
Someone put her photos together and found the secret. Every photo of her will be dressed in different clothes and jewelry, but this earring has never changed. It is enough to see Cixi's love for this pile of earrings and her deep affection for Emperor Xianfeng.
Politically speaking, Cixi is indeed a sinner through the ages. In the face of foreign invasion, she actually said, "I would rather be a friend than a slave." In that case. Many times, I consider my own happiness and prosperity, and never consider the life and death of ordinary people.
But judging from the fact that she is a woman who loves spring, she is indeed an infatuated person. She can wear the earrings given by Xianfeng for so many years, which may also indicate that she really loves him.
