Maybe have you noticed that in the entire harem, only Concubine Jing has never appeared in any footage of the bed, and the emperor has never turned over Concubine Jing's brand.
The only time the emperor was mentioned in Concubine Jing's place was that after Zhen Huan returned to the palace, Concubine Jing and Zhen Huan formed an alliance because of Haoyue, and Zhen Huan asked the emperor to stay with Concubine Jing.
However, the emperor stayed in Concubine Jing's palace, of course, not to have a relationship with her, mainly to get along with Haoyue.
So, does Concubine Jing really lack "sexual tension"? Why is the emperor reluctant to let her sleep?
In fact, the emperor's favor is a distribution of resources and power, and he will only distribute these tangible benefits to those he considers valuable.
For example, the reason why Concubine Hua favored the Sixth Palace was because Nian Qianyao could help the emperor solve the problems of the frontier, and Concubine Hua herself could also help the emperor fight against Empress Yixiu;
Another example is Zhen Huan, the reason why she is favored is mainly because, like Chunyuan, she can provide the emperor with extremely high taste and aesthetic value.
Even if it is a low-status concubine like Xin Guiren, the emperor also turns over her brand from time to time, because she does not stand in line, does not cause trouble to the emperor, and does not have to worry about other concubines in the harem when she goes to her**.
On the contrary, there are those concubines who have almost no chance to sleep, the most typical is Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi is old, her appearance is ordinary, and her eloquence is not good, and the emperor will not gain anything else except to listen to words like "the third elder brother has grown taller again".
In addition, the emperor is willing to let a person sleep, also because she has fertility value. To put it bluntly, the emperor's rain and dew can't be wasted, and it has to be passed on to the next generation.
Take Fucha nobles as an example, she is actually not too favored, but the emperor is still willing to pay attention to her, on the one hand, because she is young, and on the other hand, because she is fertile.
However, Concubine Jing seems to lack these advantages. Her appearance is not so prominent, her personality is relatively dignified and restrained, and her talent is not outstanding.
More critically, she has not yet shown the ability to have children.
When she was in the palace, Concubine Jing was the Gege in Concubine Hua's room, and Concubine Hua lit Huan Yixiang for many years, which more or less affected Concubine Jing.
Therefore, as a "marginal person", Concubine Jing lived quite lonely, she could only raise a big turtle in the palace, count the cracks on the wall, and sigh that the Forbidden City closed her beautiful youth.
However, even the "marginal" people have their own value.
Concubine Jing, a woman who never even got the opportunity to go to bed, was promoted to a concubine after Meizhuang fell out of favor, and was also given the power by the emperor to assist in handling the affairs of the six palaces.
The emperor's promotion of Concubine Jing can be described as a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, this can weaken Concubine Hua's power through Concubine Jing's hand; On the other hand, Concubine Jing can also be used to attract Concubine Hua's attention and guide Concubine Hua to make mistakes, so as to help the emperor gain an advantage in the court.
To put it bluntly, the emperor's intention is to make Concubine Jing a scapegoat.
However, Concubine Jing was very smart, she knew the emperor's intentions, but she chose to keep a low profile and did not take the initiative to confront Concubine Hua, but adopted a passive defensive strategy.
She gave full play to her forbearance power to stimulate Concubine Hua to make mistakes, triggering discussions in the six palaces, and at the same time protecting herself.
Of course, the emperor did not treat Concubine Jing badly. not only agreed that she would continue to take care of Haoyue, but also gave her the dignity of the concubine.
Maybe sometimes, "utilization" is not a bad thing, at least it shows that you are valuable.
is like the "marginal person" Concubine Jing, it is because of her unique forbearance and gentleness temperament that the emperor feels that it can be used to stimulate the irritable Concubine Hua, so she has the opportunity to rise to the concubine position.
