No wonder Yongzheng never doubted Shen Meizhuang She was much smarter than Zhen Huan when she was pregnant
Shen Meizhuang's noble status and outstanding talent make her favored by Yongzheng. Her beauty and dignified temperament, as well as her attainments in poetry, calligraphy, piano and chess, made her unique in the palace and favored by the emperor. The power of the Shen family won her a place and became an important role in the emperor's heart.
However, Shen Meizhuang's favor also attracted the jealousy of Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua devised all kinds of traps to make Shen Meizhuang lose the emperor's favor. Among them, once she deliberately designed a situation that made Shen Meizhuang mistakenly think that she was pregnant, and Shen Meizhuang's joy could not be concealed. However, the fact was a conspiracy arranged by Concubine Hua that put Shen Meizhuang in an endless predicament.
Despite this, Shen Meizhuang did not give up easily. She still faced the predicament with a dignified attitude and always maintained her loyalty and love to the emperor. Even in the face of fate, she still showed nobility and tenacity.
Shen Meizhuang didn't expect that the palace maid she trusted, Poria Cocos, was actually a traitor planted by Concubine Hua. Poria poisoned Shen Meizhuang's food, causing her to bleed from her injuries. She also deliberately showed off her bloodstained clothes in front of everyone and was discovered by the emperor. The emperor asked her, but Poria accused Shen Meizhuang of pretending to be pregnant and competing for favor.
The emperor didn't believe it and summoned Imperial Doctor Zhang and Jiang Cheng, who both confirmed that Shen Meizhuang was not pregnant. Jiang Cheng also revealed that Shen Meizhuang had asked him to postpone the prescription of Yuexin, but the prescription was gone, Liu Yan was also missing, and Poria was executed. Shen Meizhuang reluctantly claimed that he had been wronged, but no one believed him.
In fact, the emperor had already seen that Shen Meizhuang had been wronged, but out of the balance of the harem, he still punished her and stripped her of her position, and imprisoned her.
Later, Zhen Huan found Liu Yan through Wen Shichu, he admitted everything, and the truth was finally revealed.
However, it was too late, and Shen Meizhuang was already disappointed in the emperor and was unwilling to forgive him or see him again. She moved to Broken Yuxuan, where Zhen Huan once lived, and lived a peaceful life.
However, she understood that it was difficult to last long in the harem by relying only on hue, so she began to serve the Queen Mother frequently in order to get a backer. Although the Queen Mother understood her thoughts at first, she felt her sincere filial piety in the future, so she took special care of her.
The Queen Mother is old and hopes to find someone to rely on for Shen Meizhuang, and the only choice is the emperor. The Empress Dowager persuaded the emperor many times to accompany Shen Meizhuang, and comforted Shen Meizhuang to understand the emperor's helplessness.
However, at this time, Shen Meizhuang no longer had the emperor in his heart, but had feelings for the imperial physician Wen Shichu.
One day, the Queen Mother learned that the emperor had gone to Broken Yuxuan, so she asked her to send a glass of "warm wine", hoping that the two could resolve the misunderstanding.
After Shen Meizhuang "drove out" the emperor, he drank the glass of wine alone depressedly.
Wen Shi came to visit for the first time, and the two drank the glass of wine together when their emotions were rising, which triggered the entanglement of that night.
After that, Shen Meizhuang became pregnant with a child. Wen Shichu was shocked, but Shen Meizhuang comforted him and said, "My child, I will do my best to protect him." ”
So, she began a plan to redeem the emperor.
On the way to the palace, Shen Meizhuang pretended to be lost looking for the bracelet. Seeing this, the emperor stopped and inquired, and when he learned that she had lost the bracelet, he ordered someone to search for it.
Shen Meizhuang told the emperor affectionately: "That was the bracelet that His Majesty gave me at the beginning. She continued to look at the emperor affectionately, "Although the bracelet is gone, the affection will never disappear." ”
The remark implied that she still had feelings for the Emperor, despite the unhappy moments between the two.
The emperor understood her intentions, so he took her hand and walked towards Broken Yuxuan together.
In this way, Shen Meizhuang successfully regained her favor, and the child in her womb was recognized as the emperor's child.
The Queen Mother paid special attention to Shen Meizhuang's child, especially considering that Shen Meizhuang was framed and pretended to be pregnant before. At Shen Meizhuang's request, the Queen Mother agreed to let Wen Shichu take care of her children.
With Wen Shichu's help, Shen Meizhuang's child's actual month was concealed.
Although Shen Meizhuang is taciturn, he is very smart. She used a bracelet to convey her deep feelings to the emperor, and at the same time put on a talisman for the child.
Until she passed away, the bracelet that was "reluctant to lose" never left her hand.
If Zhen Huan hadn't finally revealed Shen Meizhuang's betrayal to the emperor, I'm afraid the emperor would never have known about it for the rest of his life. In contrast, Zhen Huan made great efforts to defend her dragon and phoenix fetus, but the emperor always doubted her, which led to the later blood-dripping confession incident.
There is no doubt that Shen Meizhuang's resourcefulness is much better than Zhen Huan.
