No salt for the future, full text free to read

Answer 1

The story of " Salt-free Queen " was as follows:

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when King Xuan of Qi was in power, Qi faced many problems. At that time, there was a girl named Zhong Lichun, who was born in Wuyanyi of the State of Qi. She was ugly, with sunken eyes on her forehead and a disproportional upper and lower ratio. Her belly was big, her nostrils were upturned, and she had a large Adam's apple on her neck. Her head was huge and her hair was sparse. Her skin was dark, and she was still unmarried at the age of forty.

She tidied up her coarse clothes and went to see King Xuan of Qi. She told the guards of King Xuan of Qi that she was a woman that no one in Qi wanted. She heard that the king was wise and noble, and she was willing to be the queen. After the guard reported, King Xuan of Qi was holding a banquet on the platform. When the surrounding people heard about this, they laughed endlessly. King Xuan of Qi summoned Zhong Lichun and asked her what special ability she had to marry him when she couldn't get married in the countryside despite having concubines in his harem. Zhong Lichun claimed that she would only admire the benevolence and kindness of King Xuan of Qi. When King Xuan of Qi asked her what else she could do, she said that she knew the art of invisibility. King Xuan of Qi asked her to demonstrate, but before she could finish, she suddenly disappeared. King Xuan of Qi was shocked. He took out the invisibility technique materials and studied them for a day, but he still did not master them.

The next day, King Xuan of Qi summoned Zhong Lichun again to ask about invisibility, but she didn't answer. She just raised her eyes, gritted her teeth, and patted her knees four times." It's dangerous, very dangerous!" King Xuan of Qi hurriedly asked the reason. Zhong Lichun pointed out that the State of Qi was facing many dangers. In the west was the State of Qin, which implemented the Lianheng policy, and in the south was the powerful State of Chu. These two countries were great enemies. However, the treacherous officials in the State of Qi did not support King Xuan of Qi. King Xuan of Qi had yet to appoint a crown prince at the age of forty, and he did not care about the lives of the people. He only cared about his concubines. He did what he liked and did not do what he hated. This was the first danger. King Xuan of Qi built a five-story platform, inlaid with all kinds of treasures and gorgeous things, but the people were already overwhelmed and their lives were difficult. This was the second danger. The talents of Qi lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Those who flattered King Xuan of Qi surrounded him. Those who were hypocritical and evil served in the court. Those who were good at remonstrance had no way to enter. This was the third danger. King Xuan of Qi was drunk on wine and enjoyed himself day and night. He could not make good relations with the vassals externally and could not govern the country effectively internally. This was the fourth danger.

When the country was in danger, loyal and capable people were not put in important positions. King Xuan of Qi listened to Zhong Lichun's advice and welcomed her into the palace, worshiping her as the Lord of Wuyan and making her queen. Zhong Lichun was intelligent and courageous. Although it was uncertain whether she was good at fighting, she relied on her talent to become the queen. King Xuan of Qi had his favorite concubine Xia Yingchun by his side, so the saying " Zhong Wuyan if there is trouble, Xia Yingchun if there is no trouble " was passed down.
