——Preface——
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan is portrayed as a smart and kind woman, but she is often caught in the whirlpool of palace intrigue. In this complex game of intrigue, Choi plays a role that cannot be ignored. Cui Jinxi's cleverness and foresight became the driving force for the entire plot, and Zhen Huan became a pawn in her strategy.
Cui Jinxi's guidance and manipulation of Zhen Huan was not out of malice, but her deep understanding of power and conspiracy and concern for Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan's intelligence has made her a high-profile figure in the court, and Cui Jinxi took a fancy to this and decided to include her in her power scheme. Zhen Huan needs not only protection when she is confused, but also a mentor who can guide her forward.
In the court, Choi's power plan is undoubtedly exquisite. By manipulating Zhen Huan's actions, she made Zhen Huan a clever chess piece in the palace scheme. Cui Jinxi's purpose is not to frame Zhen Huan, but to achieve her goals through her influence. All of this is out of a deep understanding of Zhen Huan, and it is also a recognition of her extraordinary talent.
——Choosing Zhen Huan as a chess piece in his hand——
In the first encounter with Broken Yuxuan, Cui Jinxi was keenly aware of Zhen Huan's striking resemblance to the late Queen Chunyuan. She knew that this woman was destined to become a shining star in the palace, able to compete with Concubine Hua and the Empress. Therefore, Cui Jinxi began to express her kindness to Zhen Huan, showing favor with her heart, hoping to get a place by her side.
However, Zhen Huan, who had just entered the palace, felt extremely strange and resistant to this place full of scheming and calculation. Her overtures to Cui Jinxi only stayed at the surface of respect, but did not have a deeper trust. It wasn't until Cui Jinxi used her deep insight and unique insights into court life in a conversation to inspire Zhen Huan's views on power and status, and made her think about how to gain a foothold in the palace, a place full of intrigue and deceit. Cui Jinxi's insights and enlightenment made Zhen Huan make up her mind and stepped into this palace battle. Since then, Zhen Huan has truly regarded Cui Jinxi as her confidant.
When Zhen Huan was caught in the quagmire of emotional strife and palace intrigue, Cui Jinxi played a more important role - mentor. With a calm and deep gaze, she interprets this world full of complex emotions. When Zhen Huan fell into a painful love entanglement, Cui Jinxi used her profound life experience and political wisdom to answer Zhen Huan's doubts and show her the way forward. When Zhen Huan lost her way in the dark, Cui Jinxi was like a bright light, illuminating her way forward.
Cui Jinxi's enlightenment made Zhen Huan re-examine her situation and choices. She is not only Zhen Huan's mentor in the palace schemes, but also her guide on the road of life. This kind of mentor-like relationship is not a simple use of the relationship, but is based on Cui Jinxi's deep understanding and sincere care for Zhen Huan.
With the development of the plot, the power and chess game in Cui Jinxi's hands is becoming clearer and clearer. And Zhen Huan also grew up slowly under her guidance. This complex interpersonal relationship makes "The Legend of Zhen Huan" a court drama full of depth and layering. The intrigue and care between Cui Jinxi and Zhen Huan are intertwined into a court picture, which not only reveals the cruelty of the palace struggle, but also shows the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature.
And everything Cui Jinxi did was just to avenge Empress Chunyuan. At the beginning of the story, Cui Jinxi told Zhen Huan that Queen Chunyuan loved everyone's relationship. This shows that Cui Jinxi is deeply favored by Empress Chunyuan as a palace maid, and the death of Empress Chunyuan has become an indelible pain in Cui Jinxi's heart. This also explains why Choi Geun-hee is full of hatred for the queen and is determined to avenge Empress Chunwon.
——Chengquan Guojun King returns to the old master——
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Cui Jinxi's identity seems to be relatively low-key, but her actions always affect the direction of the plot. The relationship between Zhen Huan and King Guoqun is tortuous and complicated, and Cui Jinxi always seems to be quietly controlling the direction of this love behind her back.
What is the purpose of Cui Jinxi promoting the relationship between Zhen Huan and King Guoqun?Perhaps, the answer lies in her feelings for Concubine Shu. Cui Jinxi told Zhen Huan at the beginning that she was serving the concubine before, but did not specify which concubine it was. At the palace banquet, Cui Jinxi took the initiative to bring Zhen Huan to Tonghuatai and told her that this was the residence of Concubine Shu, and being able to bring Zhen Huan to this place so clearly and smoothly shows that Cui Jinxi is very familiar with Tonghuatai.
When Zhen Huan was driven from Ganlu Temple to Lingyun Peak, she fainted in the snow, and it was Cui Jinxi who clearly judged the place where Qingliangtai was located and asked Huanbi to ask for help. And not far from Qingliangtai is the hall where Concubine Shu is located, the palace maid has lived in the palace all her life, if she didn't follow the master, then why can she judge so clearly?
Perhaps, Cui Jinxi has already seen through the love entanglement between Zhen Huan and King Guoqun. She skillfully arranged a series of plots, so that the two quietly developed subtle emotions for each other. Cui Jinxi may think that in this way, he can repay Concubine Shu's kindness by satisfying King Guojun's inner thoughts.
Zhen Huan was manipulated by Cui Jinxi, perhaps a strategy of Cui Jinxi. She skillfully designed many scenes to make Zhen Huan emotionally tested, and it was also because of Cui Jinxi's persuasion that Zhen Huan made up her mind to be with King Guojun. All of this is the result of Cui Jinxi's manipulation, and whether there is a deeper purpose hidden behind this, perhaps to make the relationship between Zhen Huan and King Guoqun more confusing.
Choi Geun-hee's character always has a sense of mystery throughout the plot. She always seems to be able to show up at the most crucial moments, adding layers of suspense to the whole story. Her ingenuity inspires a strong curiosity about her true purpose.
In the arena of court struggles, each character has their own unique purpose and position. As a bystander, Cui Geun-hee's resourcefulness and scheming pushed the whole plot to a climax. Under her seemingly unknown identity, there are actually more complex emotions and purposes hidden, which also makes the audience look forward to her future development in the plot even more.
-Conclusion-
