Zhao Shanwu was discovered by Emperor Han Chengdi at the princess's home in Yangcheng. It is said that Zhao not only dances well, but also has stunts. She has a light figure and can do "palm dance" and dance on other people's palms. So Emperor Hancheng ordered someone to make a crystal dish specially for Zhao to dance on, and also made a Qibao shed for fear that she would be blown away by the wind.
Emperor Han Chengdi protected Zhao Yanfei, and he was also very lucky. Since he dragged Zhao into the palace, he devoted himself to building houses almost every night, and there were 3 thousand people in the harem. Soon, Emperor Cheng abolished Queen Xu, snubbed talented woman Ban Jieyu and made Zhao Queen.
Zhao entered the palace at the same time and elected his sister Zhao Hede as emperor. Compared with Zhao, Zhao Hede's flattery is better. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he spent the night, and was immediately named Zhao Hede's wife by God, and then Zhao Yi. Since the birth of Zhao's sisters, Emperor Cheng's body has enjoyed great pleasure, but it has also suffered great pain.
It is said that one of Zhao's younger sisters, Cheng Di, suffered from sexual dysfunction due to frequent sexual life. If he lives in a room with Zhao's sister, he will take a special pill called "T-shirt glue" every night. One pill every night can support his life in the spring breeze. One night, Zhao Hede got drunk and gave Cheng Di seven pieces of "T-shirt glue" in a row. All night, the ladies-in-waiting only heard Cheng Di and He De joking in the account. The next day, Emperor Cheng took off his grandson and died.
Emperor Cheng died unexpectedly, and the Queen Mother ordered Fu Wangmang to investigate the responsibility of the relevant people in the harem. Zhao Hede committed suicide out of fear. He De died, and Wang Mang continued to pursue Zhao. At this time, a Zhao Yi named Fu tried to speak for Zhao and saved Zhao from danger.
Why save Zhao? It turned out to be the wife of Cheng Di's younger brother. One year before the death of Emperor Cheng, his son Liu Xin was chosen as the Prince because he had no son, but Liu Xing, another brother of Emperor Cheng, was still alive, which is also a very qualified heir. In order to make Liu a prince, he came to Beijing with huge amounts of money to bribe him. In this process, Ye Zhao made great efforts for Liu Xin. So, when the emperor died, Liu Xin proclaimed himself emperor, and Wang Mang wanted to investigate Zhao's crimes, Fu Zhaoyi, as the mother of the succeeding emperor, took the initiative to rescue Zhao, not only saving Zhao Yi's life, but also being honored as the Queen Mother.
Since then, Zhao has lived comfortably on the throne of the empress dowager for six years. However, fate did not let her go in the end. Six years later, Liu Xin died young, and the Queen Mother came to power again, and Wang Mang was re-used as Fu, and arranged for him to investigate the past when the emperor killed the prince's Zhao and Zhao Hede sisters, that is, the so-called "swallows pecked at the emperor's grandson". Zhao was convicted of "ruining the emperor's bedroom and destroying the heir" and was demoted to Shu Ren. Zhao was ashamed and committed suicide in the palace that day.
