Recently, in addition to chasing the classic drama and the new drama "News Queen", I am also ready to brush up on the original work of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" again. When I read the part of Zhen Huan and others participating in the draft until they entered the palace, I couldn't help but sigh: On that day, An Lingrong's "stupidity" was extremely weird!
An Lingrong's father is a county magistrate in Songyang County, and his official position is not high. But An Lingrong's mother is a skilled embroiderer in Suzhou. Before she lost her sight, she had already taught her daughter all the embroidery techniques. After entering the palace, An Lingrong used this embroidery technique to please Zhen Huan, the queen and the emperor. However, on the day of the draft: An Lingrong wore clothes that were simple and outdated, and under the sun, the material was a little fluffy. Even Xia Dongchun, the daughter of a nouveau riche, could see that the stitches of her clothes were rough, as if they were made improvised. In the original work, this detail is shown from Zhen Huan's perspective: "I took a look at An's dress, the clothes were new, obviously new, but the clothes were ordinary, obviously ordinary materials, and they were not elegant." "When I first watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan", I thought: An Lingrong is dressed shabby because her family is not wealthy, and their mother and daughter are shameless. But after revisiting it this time, I felt very different. An Lingrong is such a caring person!Meizhuang was pregnant and wanted to embroider a hat for the child in her womb, but the tiger whiskers couldn't be embroidered well, An Lingrong took the embroidery and solved the problem in three clicks and two clicks. 
Even if the An family couldn't provide Ling Rong with any luxurious clothing at the time of the draft, she could use her superb embroidery skills to make up for the lack of clothing itself and carefully make a beautiful dress. Why did you wear clothes with rough stitches and old styles?"Dropping the chain" at such a critical moment, is it because An Lingrong does not distinguish between priorities and is stupid and stupid?The second "weird" thing about An Lingrong is the cup of tea that was spilled on Xia Dongchun's body. Whether in the original book or in the drama version, An Lingrong's character is weak, boneless, timid and cautious. This is especially true in the original book. She is such a cautious girl who can look at her eyes, and as soon as she looks at it, she should understand: Among the show girls who participated in the election that day, she was the most dressed in summer, winter and spring, and her words and deeds were the most flamboyant, and she was the most difficult to mess with. Such a person, An Lingrong should have been hiding far away, how could he dare to stand beside her and drink tea, and accidentally spill hot tea on her?Her clumsiness undoubtedly gives people the impression of being "stupid". In fact, there is a big mystery behind An Lingrong's "stupidity"!In the drama version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", An Lingrong's appearance, dress, and dress cannot enter the eyes of the emperor. 
It was Zhen Huan's other begonia flower on her head that attracted a butterfly, which aroused the emperor's interest, which allowed An Lingrong to pass the selection of the show girl's palace. This was not the case in the original book. Zhen Huan said goodbye to begonia flowers and gave earrings to An Lingrong, which is indeed true. But An Lingrong was selected by virtue of his ability to stand out among the show girls, and the begonia flowers on his head did not play a decisive role. Then this is even more strange: at the draft scene that day, the beauties were like clouds, the flowers were red and willow green, why was the emperor interested in the shabbyly dressed An Lingrong?Thinking about it again along this clue, the answer is on the surface: the slightly shabby clothes and the tea that was splashed on Xia Dongchun were all deliberately designed by An Lingrong!I don't know if you have ever had a collection habit in some aspect of your life?Personally, I like to collect earrings. If you want to collect, then, you must have studs, earrings, earrings, and ear strings. There are also various colors to have. With pearls, agate, and Hetian jade, the jadeite, old oil jade, and beeswax cannot be lacking ......And the emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" collects harem women, just like us ordinary people collect earrings, stamps, cups, plates, bowls, ......
Before the draft, among the harem concubines, there were dignified women like the queen and spicy women like Concubine Hua. On the day of the draft, most of the young ladies of the family who participated in the election took a serious and dignified, noble and gorgeous route. Even if An Lingrong's embroidery skills are good, he is more "luxurious" than these show girls, and he must bow down. Since the multiplayer track is too crowded, let's find another way!Therefore, An Lingrong has long made up his mind to establish a weak character. The simple, rough clothes did look shabby, but this made her look even more slender and pitiful, in stark contrast to the flowery and cookie-cutter women around her. In order to avoid being lost in everyone, but to be noticed and remembered, she also deliberately provoked Xia Dongchun and caused the other party to make things difficult. And after An Lingrong was made difficult, she accurately recruited a "nobleman" like Zhen Huan who has a good family background and a helpful complex to provide her with a strong boost. So what if no one in the show girl makes a move?The louder the noise outside the palace, the louder it will inevitably attract the attention of the emperor, the queen mother and other high-level officials. At that time, Xia Dongchun will speak falsely, and she will not be forgiving, and the emperor will not have a good impression of her. 
And An Lingrong is just a poor bullied weakling, her tearful appearance may be able to stimulate the emperor's desire to protect, so that she will be successfully elected!An Lingrong's move, although the risk is high, has a considerable chance of winning. In the original work, her "weakness" was not only liked by the emperor, but also loved by Zhen Huan's brother Zhen Heng. And Zhen Huan, too, has been many, many years, after returning from Ganlu Temple, I heard Huanbi say: "Isn't she (An Lingrong) just pretending to be pitiful?"Only then did he finally feel it: "Not only the emperor, but also the men of the world, everyone likes it very much......”
