We all know that Jinghe is not the emperor's biological son, but the child of Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu. In order to hide the true identity of the child, Shen Meizhuang set up multiple lines of defense as a mother.
If it weren't for Zhen Huan revealing Jinghe's life experience to him before the emperor's death, I'm afraid the emperor would have been kept in the dark. It can be seen that the defense line set up by Shen Meizhuang is very tight. Now let's take a look at the three lines of defense laid by Shen Meizhuang in order to protect the secrets of Jinghe's life experience.
The successful use of bracelets to restore favor has allowed "Jinghe" to justifiably regain favor.
After being framed by Concubine Hua and pretending to be pregnant, Shen Meizhuang lost the trust of the emperor, and the emperor favored Concubine Hua instead, causing Shen Meizhuang to have a grudge against the emperor, and the relationship between the two became rigid and entered a state of cold war. However, at this critical juncture, Shen Meizhuang found that he was pregnant with Wen Shichu's child.
In order for the child to be born legally, she had to make the emperor play the role of a stand-in father. So she deliberately lost the bracelet given by the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and let the news reach the emperor's ears. This is equivalent to courting the emperor. Because the emperor originally felt guilty about Shen Meizhuang, and the court needed her father's support, the two reconciled, Shen Meizhuang was favored again, and the child was born legally.
Shen Meizhuang and the emperor were both broad-minded, thoughtful, and deep people. They take things with the utmost attention to detail. In order to express her absolute loyalty to the emperor and win the emperor's trust, Shen Meizhuang always wore the jade bracelet given to her by the emperor, and never took it off even when she was dying.
This jade bracelet became a token of love between the emperor and Shen Meizhuang, and it was also the bond that restored the relationship between the two as before. Even though it's just a small detail, it's enough to show her absolute loyalty. This is also a well-intentioned move made by Shen Meizhuang in order to protect the child in his arms.
Modify the second line of defense, which is to modify the history, to make the child's birth look more plausible.
After successfully regaining favor, Shen Meizhuang lived up to expectations and soon slept with the emperor. However, when calculating the time of labor, she found that the month did not meet expectations, so her mother was very angry and decisively tampered with the record of her chances.
She wrote the incident with Wen Shichu on the day of ** as sleeping with the emperor, so that the child's birth month was extremely reasonable and avoided the fate of giving birth to a child early like Zhen Huan.
The third line of defense is to reveal to Zhen Huan"Tranquility"and use her power to protect her daughter.
When Shen Meizhuang died, only Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan were by his side. She asked Zhen Huan's consent to name the child, and proposed "Jinghe", which made Zhen Huan teary-eyed. Zhen Huan knows the meaning of "tranquility" - gentle and calm, and the years are quiet, which is the future scene that she and Shen Meizhuang longed for when they were girls.
Therefore, the naming of the child is also half of Zhen Huan's credit. Shen Meizhuang left the last sentence: "Huan'er, you have to help Shichu take care of the child." This is tantamount to giving Zhen Huan responsibility. Shen Meizhuang witnessed Zhen Huan's intelligence and courage, and decided to entrust Jinghe to her, with great peace of mind.
