Does the Queen Mother hate Ye Lanyi?Look at how she asks Su Peisheng to understand
Emperor Yongzheng and Ye Lanyi met at the racecourse, and Ye Lanyi's demeanor and temperament were somewhat similar to the late Concubine Hua. Although he was not from a noble background, his extraordinary and sincere temperament made Yongzheng's heart pound. Yehenala was a powerful person, and the emperor immediately included her in the harem and made her his wife.
However, from the very beginning, Ye Lanyi never cared about the well-being and honor of the royal family. Unlike other wives in the harem who chased the emperor, Ye Lanlan preferred a free and unrestrained life. She has in her heart the king of Guojun who once saved her life, and she also worked as a literati and military advisor in the capital. Every time she approached the emperor, she would secretly take medicine to make sure that she would not give birth to the emperor. This kind of behavior is not only a rebellion against the emperor, but also a deep longing for the king of Guojun.
In Ye Lanyi's palace, she has no deep friendship with other concubines. However, when she learned the story between Zhen Huan and King Guojun, she began to get closer and closer to Zhen Huan. In the harem, they support each other and fight traps and enemies together. When Ye Lanyi learned that Hongtian and Ling Huan were the children of King Guojun, he did his best to protect them, even going so far as to confront the entire palace.
When the emperor discovers the secret behind Ye Lanyi, he decides to end his life in the most tragic way possible. At the last moments, he tells the emperor that true love comes at a price, and that he is willing to give everything for it. Yongzheng died, the fourth elder brother ascended the throne, Zhen Huan received high courtesy, and became the irreplaceable queen mother.
Ye Lanyi was under the stars and decided to meet his beloved King Guojun.
Ye Lanyi's short but wonderful performance attracted the attention of many people in the palace like bright fireworks.
Emperor Yongzheng was stunned by Ye Lanyi's temperament on the horse farm at that moment, as if the former Concubine Hua was rising in front of his eyes. Yes, that kind of invincible, that kind of fierce and domineering, all made Yongzheng's heart fluctuate. In the past years, he missed this sincere relationship because of the consortium relationship between Concubine Hua and Nian Qianyao, and now, he hopes to find the long-awaited relationship in Ye Lanyi.
However, Ye Lanyi is not a woman who can be easily obtained, she only has the king of the fruit district in her heart. She didn't seem to care about fame and fortune in the palace, which made Yongzheng even more curious and appreciative. He decided to get this woman, but he also knew that Ye Lanyi's identity would cause opposition from the harem.
Empress Dowager Cixi knew the rules of the harem, but she also knew that Yongzheng's love for Ye Lanyi was not a superficial respect. Therefore, she decided to take action as soon as she heard the news. Empress Dowager Cixi didn't really dislike Ye Lanyi, she just wanted to create a step for Yongzheng to make it easier for Yongzheng to include Ye Lanyi in the harem.
Therefore, after learning the news of Ye Lanyi's entry into the palace, the Queen Mother deliberately asked questions in front of the queen and Concubine Qi. Every question she asked was a hidden mystery, and its purpose was to open the palace door for Ye Lanyi. He hopes to find the feelings that Yongzheng lacks from this woman, and find the tranquility that belongs to him.
Whether Ye Lanyi can maintain her true face in this prosperous harem and whether she will change her mind for Yongzheng has become unknown.
The deep courtyard of the palace is changing and the hearts of the people are unpredictable. The Empress Dowager Cixi knew that Ye Lanyi's sudden entry into the palace would cause a storm in the harem, especially for the Empress Dowager Cixi, this was definitely a thing that broke the convention. The Empress Dowager Cixi is a cunning person, she knows that once the Empress Dowager Cixi knows about this matter without her consent, she will definitely hold a grudge against Ye Lanyi, and even use some means to hurt this newcomer.
The Queen Mother is not worried about Ye Lanyi, she is more worried about the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knows that for women in the deep palace, the honor and prestige of the family will always come first. For the Queen Mother, the interests of the Nalan family are more important than her honor. If the Empress Dowager Cixi clashes with the emperor over the Ye Lanyi incident, it is likely to harm the interests of the Nalan family. Empress Dowager Cixi did not want to see this happen.
According to historical records, the Empress Dowager Cixi, like Empress Xiaoxian in "The Biography of Ruyi", was able to sacrifice family affection for the family. For the sake of the family, she had to deliver her daughter to the enemy. For the sake of the family, she did not hesitate to hunt her own children, which was enough to make people sigh for the sorrow and helplessness of the women in the palace.
After knowing all this, she decided to hit the Queen Mother first and tell her about Ye Lanyi in her own way. In the dialogue between the Queen Mother and the Empress, she skillfully transforms the role of the Queen Mother from a potential threat to a compliment. By praising the Empress Dowager Cixi, Cixi placed the Empress Dowager Cixi in an unattainable position. In this way, the Empress Dowager Cixi could only act according to the role defined by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and could no longer suppress Ye Lanyi.
This battle in the palace is not a battle of swords and swords, but a battle of wisdom and bravery. With her wisdom, the Empress Dowager Cixi successfully took the first step for Ye Lanyi and ensured that she was safe and sound in the harem. In contrast, in the face of such a cunning opponent as the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi could only swallow her anger for the time being and wait for work.
As we all know, Concubine Qi is one of the simplest and easiest concubines to control in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". At the beginning of Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, she had a backer like the third elder brother, with an excellent status, and even a higher starting point than others, but she failed to grasp the situation well. In the cordial struggle between the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress, Concubine Qi said innocently:'This Ye promised not to be like Miaoyin, who was from a humble background, but like a prostitute, and like Yinzhen's predecessor, Yin Zaiyuan.
Empress Dowager Cixi frowned, smiled contemptuously, and continued:"Xin Qiji has always been a descendant of an official family, but now the emperor has chosen a woman to be a horse trainer in the Hundred Gardens. "
The queen mother, who seems to be protective, actually doesn't care about Ye Lanyi's background. She knows that in this harem, background is important, but the key is whether she can get the emperor's favor. She herself used to be a Baoyi, and Kangxi's mother, Empress Xiaokang Zhang, was also gradually promoted from a small grid in the Han Army Banner to the queen mother.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhang just wanted to appease the queen and Concubine Qi, and didn't want their hearts to be shaken by the newcomer Ye Xun. As a wise mother and mother-in-law, she knows that to stabilize the situation in the country, sometimes compromises and decisions need to be made.
But Su Peisheng, as the emperor's right-hand man, knows every battle in the palace well. He also knew where he stood in this situation, so he decided to complete the work of the Queen Mother as soon as possible and avoid getting involved. "The Queen Mother Ye Xun has entered the palace, and the emperor is very fond of her"。He informed the Queen Mother.
She was placed in **?"Empress Dowager Cixi continued to ask.
This one has not yet been decided. "Su Peisheng replied and said:"Ye Xun wanted to find a hidden place. "
The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled coldly and said:"Not long after entering the palace, I made a request. "
Although the Yongzheng Emperor leaned towards the government and the opposition, he usually allowed the Empress Dowager Cixi to intervene in the affairs of the harem. Moreover, the interaction between the Empress Dowager Cixi and Yongzheng seems to hide many struggles and strategies. Although the Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude towards Ye Lanyi on the surface was contemptuous and disapprocating, she was full of conspiracy behind the scenes.
Ye Lanyi's status in the emperor's heart is not low. Although she comes from a family of horse trainers, Yongzheng's love for her is obviously beyond common sense. Yongzheng doted on her, and even let her live in the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace. When the Empress Dowager Cixi learned of this, she decided to take immediate action to stabilize the harem.
Shoukang Palace was the territory of the Empress Dowager Cixi and was under her direct control, and although the Chunxi Palace was part of Shoukang Palace, it was isolated from the world. Empress Dowager Cixi's original intention was to keep Ye Lanyi under her control in order to monitor her whereabouts and ensure that she was not disturbed by outside factors.
The other concubines in the harem had a different attitude towards Ye Lanyi. Although Concubine Qi was of noble origin, she was often abused by other concubines. This time, at the instigation of the queen, she also sent a bowl of mysterious medicinal soup. This is obviously to poison Ye Lanyi and make it impossible for her to give birth to an heir for the emperor.
Although Ye Lanyi has not been in the palace for a long time, she is not so easily intimidated. She knew that the medicinal soup sent by Concubine Qi contained poison, but she decided to drink it herself without telling Yongzheng. It seems that she has bigger plans.
At the same time, in Yongzheng's heart, his thoughts about Zhen Huan are in full swing. He was sad about Zhen Huan's departure, but he couldn't show it. He buried all the emotions buried deep in his heart on Ye Lanyi, hoping to alleviate his loneliness and loneliness through her.
On the other hand, the Empress Dowager Cixi was well aware of how important the turmoil in the harem was to the stability of the Qing Dynasty, so she manipulated the situation in the harem behind the scenes. Every step she took was to ensure the stability and power of the Qing Dynasty.
Within the deep palace walls of the Forbidden City, power and desire are intertwined, and the fate of each concubine dances with the wind. Although Concubine An is deeply favored by the emperor, she never dares to cross the queen's bottom line, and even has to ask the queen's consent to give birth to a child. Concubine Qi's fate was changed by an agate red thread, and the reason why she could not conceive was obviously because of the smell of the red thread.
For Empress Yixiu, the palace is like a chessboard, and the concubines are chess pieces. She would never allow any chess piece to challenge her authority, even if it was once a relative of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The pressure and anxiety of the Empress Dowager Cixi were no less than those of the Empress. She looked at her son, Emperor Yongzheng, with that gloomy look, because she knew that her son needed a real wife, a woman who could make him happy. But the Empress Dowager Cixi also knew very well that this wife must not be her niece Empress.
When Ye Lanyi entered the Forbidden City, she also attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Her appearance seems to have brought Yongzheng a long-lost joy. However, this joy was overshadowed by the power and means of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who knew that she would have to show her displeasure in order to protect the concubines who could bring a future to the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the Empress Dowager Cixi would not put too much pressure on Ye Lanyi.
Empress Dowager Cixi's methods are so unfathomable that only those who are in them can truly comprehend them. She tried every means to deceive the Queen Mother, making the Queen Mother think that she didn't care much about Ye Lanyi, and she used her relationship with the Queen Mother to make the Queen Mother think that she was cold to Ye Lanyi. In fact, behind every decision of the Empress Dowager Cixi is the care and protection of her son, as well as the worries and expectations for the future of the Qing Dynasty.
The intrigues of the Empress Dowager Cixi are like a drizzle in the depths of the Forbidden City, thin and dense, seemingly gentle, but it is difficult to escape the harshness. In this power game, the Empress Dowager Cixi tried to use her wisdom and cunning to paint a bright future for the Qing Dynasty.
