Among the many harem beauties, Zhen Huan can stand out and have the last laugh, not just because she is smart and scheming. What's more, she has a key person who can change her fate - Choi Geun-hee. Cui Jinxi is not only the key person who helped Zhen Huan return to the court, but also an indispensable part of her life"Menthol oil"to refresh your mind. It can be said that without Cui Jinxi, there would be no later Zhen Huan.
Cui Jinxi, who has just entered the court, does not fully trust Zhen Huan, and has been observing and considering her behavior and methods. Before Ganlu Temple, Cui Jinxi had always been a bystander in Zhen Huan's life, and she was not of the same mind. And it is precisely because of Cui Jinxi's caution and cold-bloodedness that Zhen Huan was once in danger. All this is just because Cui Jinxi is guarding a secret, a secret that is enough to put Zhen Huan to death.
It was a mutation before the concubine. The emperor suddenly revealed a cruel truth, which made Zhen Huan understand that he was just a stand-in for Chunyuan. This seems to be a turmoil caused by a piece of clothing, but it actually involves the delicate relationship between the emperor and Zhen Huan. The emperor has always regarded Zhen Huan as"Usurp"Is this substitution really that important? In fact, as long as the emperor is willing to continue to deceive, everything can be fine.
But the fact is that the emperor decided not to hide it anymore. Because Nian Qianyao and Prince Dun have been cut off, Zhen Huan participated in the whole plan and gave advice to them. The emperor's mentality may be explained in one sentence: "You know too much." ”
At this time, Zhen Huan made a fatal mistake, she was too understanding. She can see through the emperor's thoughts, but she doesn't know how to hide her cleverness. At this time, she was still very young, and in order to prove that she had a heart and mind with the emperor, she often made her insights public. In the deep palace, the emperor had both joy and worry about Zhen Huan.
As an emperor, his joys, sorrows and sorrows are invisible, lest his thoughts be seen through. However, Zhen Huan has committed a taboo on this issue. Her every move was like stepping on a minefield in the emperor's heart, but she didn't know it.
The emperor had a grudge against Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan did something that the emperor couldn't bear. She framed and forced Concubine Hua to death, which brought the emperor's anger to its peak. So, the emperor began to look for excuses to punish Zhen Huan, but he did not find conclusive evidence for the time being. At this critical juncture, the emperor used Empress Chunyuan to make a fuss. Zhen Huan, who was defenseless, fell into the emperor's trap like this. If it weren't for Zhen Huan who happened to find out that she was pregnant at this time, she might have suffered a tragic fate.
Zhen Huan's anger and grief had nowhere to vent, and she asked Jinxi if she had known that she and Empress Chunyuan looked alike, why didn't she tell her in advance? Jinxi Cave is like watching the fire, but it is as tight-lipped as a bottle. She did not answer Zhen Huan's question directly, but implied that Zhen Huan and Queen Chunyuan were only three points similar and five points in temperament. Such a degree of similarity is enough to make the emperor excited, but it is only a superficial similarity.
Zhen Huan laughed at herself: "Three points of appearance? Five points of temperament? That's enough for you to serve me—isn't it? Your true loyalty is Empress Chunyuan. Jinxi knelt respectfully and replied, "The slave maid is not blessed to serve the first queen, but because of fate, she has received a period of pity ......from the first queenThe mother put on the clothes of the first queen to have a few real portraits. ”
This dialogue reveals the secrets of the deep palace and the struggle for power. The similarity between Zhen Huan and Empress Chunyuan is only appearance, and Jinxi's true loyalty is not to Zhen Huan, but to the late Empress Chunyuan. In a game of thrones, everyone is fighting for survival and profit, while the truth is always hidden under the opulent court.
Cui Jinxi, this woman who is comfortable in the harem, the depth of her scheming is breathtaking. She had noticed the similarity between Zhen Huan and Empress Chunyuan early on, and she also understood that the emperor's deep affection for Zhen Huan was actually just an obsession with his former lover. But she was always tight-lipped, as if she was out of the matter, and she was almost cold-blooded.
gets along with Zhen Huan day and night, but she can hide this secret deeply, which makes people have to admire her determination and will. When she is not sure of Zhen Huan's true personality, she always keeps her distance, does not easily reveal her sincerity, and does not reveal any secrets that have nothing to do with her. Such sobriety and vigilance are enough to prove that she is a cunning old fox in the harem. She only focuses on her duties, keeps her duty, and does not get involved in other disputes between right and wrong.
If Zhen Huan had known the similarities between herself and Empress Chunyuan, maybe she would have been more cautious and would not be defenseless in front of the emperor and pour out her heart. But Cui Jinxi chose to remain silent in order to protect herself. It is precisely because of this secret that was deliberately concealed that Zhen Huan paid a heavy price.
