Who would have thought that it would be 2024, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be on the hot search again.
People in the entertainment industry have changed batch after batch, and TV series have been broadcast one after another, only it has still had a large number of viewers since it was launched in 2011.
According to the data, as of February 2024, the cumulative number of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has reached 1.2 billion.
Make a wish from Zhen Huan's Yimei Garden on Chinese New Year's Eve"If the headwind is like understanding, it is easy not to destroy".
to Concubine Hua's arrogance"A slut is hypocrisy".
and then to the queen's sadness and resentment"The concubine can't do it."
Every line is still fresh in people's memory.
It can be said that the power, love and humanity under the power struggle of the harem are all controlled by "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
I used to think that Zhen Huan was the biggest winner in this drama, but when I watched it ten years later, I realized that we had all been deceived.
Compared with Sun Li, these three most hidden women are the ruthless characters who have really seen the world.
Speaking of the most difficult role in the audience's hearts, it must be "Sister Mei".
The sentence "I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could I have blown down in the north wind", how many people sighed at her arrogance.
But perhaps, we were all deceived by her cold and self-contained bearing.
Among the show girls of the same year, Shen Meizhuang's family background is undoubtedly the best, as the eldest daughter, she has been cultivated as a virtuous concubine since she was born.
Zhen Huan is playing the piano again, catching butterflies, and dancing in shock, so that she can be favored later.
And as soon as she entered the palace, the emperor and the queen mother attached great importance to her, first named her a nobleman, and was also given the right to associate the six palaces that only Concubine Hua has.
The position of power that others have dreamed of all their lives, she easily obtained.
seems to be a close and affectionate sister with Zhen Huan, but in fact, they have been secretly accumulating strength.
After Concubine Hua regained her favor, she once said to Zhen Huan:
"I know that I am not as good as you, and my appearance is inferior, so I am determined to cultivate virtue and be virtuous. You are good at dancing, so I am interested in piano skills, and I have never been inferior to you. ”
It can be seen that she is not a person without ambition, at least not as indisputable as she seems on the surface.
But if you want to gain a firm foothold in the cannibalistic harem, in addition to talent and grace, who hasn't had some courage and strategy.
In order to deliver the news to Zhen Huan, she did not hesitate to give the young Princess Wenyi fever medicine and leave the palace in the name of praying for blessings.
Later, in order to ensure Zhen Huan's safety in Ganlu Temple, he deliberately let the Queen Mother smell the medicine on her body in exchange for the Queen Mother's protection.
It's no wonder that some people commented on her:
Shen Meizhuang wanted to fight, but Zhen Huan had no chance at all.It's just that since the fake pregnancy incident, I have seen the coldness of the king's heart, and since the emperor is ruthless, she is even more ruthless.
The warm wine that the Queen Mother gave to herself and the emperor to rebuild the good was poured to Imperial Doctor Wen;
In order to see Imperial Doctor Wen a few more times, he was ruthless to himself, and secretly poured out the medicine even if the wound festered;
Later, in order to register the child, he casually threw a bracelet and hooked the emperor.
Every step of the way, scheming means are needless to say.
Throughout the play, if Zhen Huan's ruthlessness is gorgeous revenge, then Shen Meizhuang's ruthlessness lies in:
She knew what she wanted and what she didn't want.
Do your best when you want it, and let it go when you don't.
As a lady with a good family background, she is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and she is virtuous and virtuous.
At first, he entered the palace to fight for the glory of the family, but later found that the emperor was unreliable, so he directly gave up being the emperor's favorite concubine.
Later, he found that he fell in love with Wen Shichu, and dared to leave all his family, reputation, and innocence behind, just to follow his own heart.
Even if he pays the price of his life for the sake of his child in the end, he has no complaints.
is so affectionate and sexual, daring to love and hate, is the most shocking and unforgettable.
If you say, the love in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is all tragedies.
That Yurao is a rare woman with a good life in Zhen Huan's biography.
Sharp teeth, lively and delicate.
Loved by his parents, blessed by his sister.
In the end, she found a husband who was only good to her wholeheartedly.
However, the woman who dared to poke the emperor's lung tube in front of her, and finally was able to get out of the whole body, did she just rely on her good life and look like Queen Chunyuan?
Then you're underestimating her.
At the beginning, Zhen Huan was grounded due to the "Chunyuan Old Clothes Incident", his father was also framed and imprisoned, and the whole family was exiled to Ningguta.
At that time, Yurao was only a ten-year-old child, and she was exiled to the bitter cold land, struggling on the edge of life and death.
The huge gap in life made her clearly realize that the emperor was ruthless.
She never wants to enter the Shura field of fame and fortune again, and she doesn't want to be a victim of Gong Dou again.
So after returning from Ningguta, she was unmoved in the face of the olive branch extended by the emperor.
First of all, she made her position clear, what her sister liked, as a younger sister, she would never touch it, and said that she liked geese, and geese were loyal birds.
Of course, the emperor understands, but he is the Son of Heaven.
There was never only what he didn't want to, and there was nothing he couldn't get.
But Yurao has her own great wisdom.
She knew that the emperor liked her because she looked like Chunyuan, and she deliberately said that she looked like her sister.
And calmly asked many questions:
Courtiers and queens don't seem to be alike" "The emperor can have many queens, but there is only one wife".
Lure the emperor into the scene he set step by step, and let the emperor tell the difference between Chunyuan, the queen, and Zhen Huan in his heart.
In the end, he said his wish, that is, "I hope that one day I can become the wife of the man I love, instead of envying the emperor's wife forever." ”
The implication is that if the emperor insists on accepting her, he is breaking his affectionate personality.
After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to give the emperor a step down, "The emperor's liking is commendable, and the courtiers dare not live up to it, please let the emperor like the courtiers like a little sister." ”
is really worthy of being the sister of the palace fighting champion Huan Huan, and even the emperor was speechless after a series of successes, and could only praise her: "I said that you are very smart and very similar to your sister." ”
Think about it, how many concubines in the harem have lived in the shadow of Chunyuan all their lives, and even their own sisters have fallen in this matter.
Only she broke this spell and let the emperor choose to fulfill it.
You know how good she is.
It is said that suffering can destroy a person, but suffering can also make a person.
How many people have collapsed and given up on themselves at the trough of life, but at a young age, she not only survived, but even completed the transformation from disillusionment to sobriety in suffering.
You know what you want, and you are fearless in the game of life.
Yurao really lived as the heroine in her life.
The finale of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", there is a very interesting scene.
After Zhen Huan became the queen mother, she talked and laughed with Concubine Jing and Xin Guiren, but only Concubine Duan, who was also an ally, was missing.
Concubine Jing explained that Concubine Duan was so sad that she was bedridden because of the emperor's death.
Indeed, Concubine Duan appeared from the beginning, and she looked sick.
But just imagine, a woman who has no children, is old and decrepit, but can escape the murder of the same sex in the cannibalistic harem and live to the end.
You know who is the old fox who is hidden deep in the harem.
Let's start with Concubine Duan's first appearance, at Wen Yi's first birthday banquet, she gave Wen Yi her own dowry collar.
The sharp-eyed emperor immediately discovered: "This is your dowry, children don't need such valuable things." ”
And how did Concubine Duan answer?
Her explanation was that she was weak and sickly, so she kept it for waste and gave it to Wen Yi.
It's a simple sentence, but it contains too many deep meanings.
You must know that when she carried the pot for the emperor, she was ruined by Concubine Hua's bowl of red soup, and she has no fertility since then.
This move is to awaken the emperor's guilt.
And the emperor's guilt is the greatest confidence she has in the harem.
But she also has hatred in her heart, so after enduring it for many years, when she saw Zhen Huan, who looked like Chunyuan, she knew that her opportunity had come.
During the blood test, she assisted several times.
The queen and An Lingrong teamed up to ask the emperor to drop blood for a family test, and Concubine Duan, who had been silently observing, immediately realized that something was wrong, so she stopped it in the name of caring for the emperor:
This method is absolutely not feasible, how can the emperor's dragon body be damaged? ”
It was this sentence that inspired Zhen Huan, no test can't dispel doubts, but the test depends on how to test it.
Later, the blood test failed, and the queen found herself innocent, "I am already the queen, there is no need to frame Concubine Xi".
As soon as she opened her mouth again, she pulled the queen into a desperate situation:
"Yes, you are already a queen, what is not satisfied? ”
This sentence is so powerful, it directly contributes to the connotation of "everything planned by the queen is to pave the way for the third elder brother".
You must know that the most taboo thing for the emperor's family is the harem to interfere in court politics.
At this point, the queen has no chance to turn the tables at all.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan are in the same camp.
Then why did Concubine Duan choose to break up after the emperor's death?
This is precisely the most clever place for Concubine Duan.
Throughout the play, Concubine Duan knows the most and hides the most.
From the very beginning, she was used by the emperor to balance Concubine Hua, and she hibernated, so that the emperor and the queen mother could see her value.
But then she didn't do nothing, but waited for an opportunity after clarifying her goal.
She knew that Zhen Huan could help her bring down Concubine Hua and the queen, so she helped several times.
The two can be said to be a win-win cooperation.
However, when the emperor and the queen mother, the two people who covered her, died, and Zhen Huan became the queen mother in power, she understood:
The profits are gone, and the two no longer need to work together.
So, she was "sick" again.
It is not only a brave retreat from the rapids, but also a wise self-preservation.
Princess Wenyi, who hugged herself behind closed doors, enjoyed the honor of the concubine, remained silent, and became the biggest winner.
In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of immorality among celebrities in the entertainment industry, and some film and television works have been removed from the shelves.
Many netizens hurriedly shouted:
The leading actors of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" must not have an accident, otherwise they will not be spared!
Back to the question at the beginning, why has "The Legend of Zhen Huan" been popular for 12 years and has been prosperous for a long time?
I think, in addition to the plot being exciting enough, every time I watch it, I will have new discoveries and new insights.
What's more, each of us can always find the shadow of our own life in the play.
An Lingrong's inferiority complex, the ambition under the contradictions of Huanbi, the queen's unavoidable virtue, and Shen Meizhuang were imprisoned by all kinds of invisible requirements and expectations......
Fate is unpredictable, and women always have to face more difficulties.
But we should also realize that life is never achieved overnight.
If you want to get rid of the shackles and get rid of the shackles, you can only rely on yourself forever.
Accumulate strength when you are at a low point, read the world when you are sober, do not please others, and let yourself have the ability to advance and retreat freely in life.
Such a woman is the real ruthless character.
Click[Looking]., I hope you and I can become "ruthless characters in the script of our own lives".
