In episode 67 of "The Biography of Zhen Huan", An Xiao bird, who has worked hard to climb up, finally climbs from a humble promise to the concubine position, and reaches the peak of her life:
Concubine An Lingrong was snubbed
Eunuch Decree: Fengtian Carries, The Emperor summons, Jin Duanfei is the Imperial Concubine, The Honorable Concubine is the Honorable Concubine, and the Concubine Xi Guifei is the same as the Six Palace Affairs, an Concubine is the Oriole Concubine, the XinGui is the Xin Concubine, the Ning Gui is the Ning Concubine, the Ying Chang is the Noble Concubine, and the Qin is here!
Concubines: Emperor Xie Longen.
An Lingrong: The song and dance outside sounded, and the ceremony of the Great Sealing of the Sixth Palace was over, right?
Baojuan: It is better that the little lord does not go, and he cannot go to places with many people when pregnant.
An Lingrong: It turns out that I am not worthy!
Baojuan: Don't think so, the empress dowager is also sympathetic to the little lord, the weather is getting hot, it is not appropriate to go to a place with many people.
An Lingrong: Compassionate? Even the dead Shen Meizhuang has been awarded the title of Jin, is the emperor going to punch me in the face?
The Empress held the Throne
The emperor sealed the six palaces, and An Lingrong was also among the Jinfeng, but on the day of the Jinfeng, all the concubines led by Duanfei were all dressed up to attend the Jinfeng conference held by the empress, but only An Lingrong was kicked out of the qualification to participate in the conference.
Among the women in the harem, being able to ascend to the throne of the concubine is a certain fame, which is the dream of the small lords of the palaces, and once this road is successful, it is infinite glory for both the family and for themselves.
Other concubines dressed up in attendance
But for An Lingrong, on the day of Jinfeng, there was no trace of joy on her face, as if it was like a rain, like a chicken in the soup, not only did she not have a gorgeous dress, but even the headdress was far worse than Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua's.
Why is there such a big difference? Because on this day, she did not participate in the Jinfeng Conference at all, but just wore a housecoat and a simple bun in her palace.
Why is An Xiao Bird's concubine so unappreciated?
An Lingrong was furious
First, the empress exhausted her heart, the emperor was perfunctory, and An Lingrong lay down the gun
An Lingrong was made a concubine, and to be honest, it was the result of the empress's painstaking efforts in the emperor. Her killer skill was the dragon fetus in An Lingrong's womb, and the emperor did not agree with her on the grounds that the dragon fetus in her womb might be unsafe:
Empress: It's really good that Concubine Xi understands the general situation in this way. The emperor, Concubine An was weak, and worried about her father's affairs, in order to ask the dragon fetus to be stable, but also to comfort Concubine An, the concubines asked Concubine Jin to be a concubine.
Emperor: There should have been four concubines, but??
Empress: Concubines are also for the empress's consideration, if they are not promoted, they are afraid that the six palaces will talk about it, she is involved by her father, which makes An Concubine sad, how can she still have a fetus?
Zhen Huan: The empress's intentions have been decided, in the past, An Concubine's title was only based on the surname, but now that she is pregnant, her status is more precious, and it should be allowed to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs formulate a title to choose, so as to appear solemn.
Empress: Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs do it, Concubine Xi guifei has a heart, and now that the concubines of the Six Palaces are hanging, it is also a good thing that the concubines can have all four corners.
The Empress spoke for An Lingrong
When the empress proposed Jin'an Lingrong as a concubine, the emperor hesitated and did not immediately agree, and the empress repeatedly stressed that if an Anlingrong was not given the throne, the fetus might not be protected.
Under such circumstances, the emperor could only reluctantly agree. Therefore, for the emperor, he did not want to give An Lingrong a promotion at all. So, on the other hand, would he attach importance to An Lingrong's concubine?
Obviously, the emperor did not pay attention to it, as can be seen from the ironic title given to An Lingrong, and most of the titles of concubines in the Qing Dynasty are used in some words with comparative meanings.
Such as: Zhao, Li, Chen, Duan, Jing, Wen, Zhuang, Shun, Wan, Jin, Liang, Zhen, Kang, Xiang, Rong, Rong, Rong, Jin, Chun, Yi, Yun, Xi and so on.
And Anling Rong's concubine, the title uses a "oriole", what does this "oriole" word mean to An Lingrong? On closer inspection, the irony is too strong.
First of all, "Oriole" is a kind of bird, giving her the title of an animal also classifies her as a beast, the other is that the birds' song is crisp and beautiful, and An Lingrong also has a good voice.
An Lingrong was born a singer
The song was also crisp and moving, comparing her to a bird, which was indeed very appropriate, and her voice was later destroyed by Qi Concubine and turned into a poor bird that could not bounce up.
Of course, this title was not directly given to An Lingrong by the emperor, but Zhen Huan's little hoof tricked the ghost from it, and with such a clever and wise person as the emperor, how could he not know the deep meaning hidden behind the word "oriole".
Surprisingly, the emperor gladly agreed to this title. Therefore, An Ling Rong jin was crowned a concubine, and the emperor did not pay attention to it at all. It was just that the empress insisted on doing it and returned her a perfunctory matter, so Princess An Lingrong did not bring her practical benefits, but lay down and shot Zhen Huan.
An Lingrong cooperated with the Empress
Second, An Lingrong and the Empress seem to be grasshoppers tied to a rope, but in fact they take what they need
Since An Lingrong hugged the queen's thigh, she pinned her hopes on the queen's body, and she wanted to follow up and do a good job, flying up the branches to become a phoenix.
But who knew that the empress, the old fox, only wanted to cultivate her into a knife in her hand and use her to bring down Zhen Huan. Therefore, the empress fought for the concubine position in front of the emperor for An Lingrong,
She was just sharpening her knife for herself and making it sharper, not fighting for the interests of An Lingrong at all. She is here to protect her interests and future.
Of course, An Lingrong is not a good bird, betraying Zhen Huan and attaching herself to the empress, she also wants to get a cup of "pampered" soup from the emperor, and can use this cup of soup to achieve the purpose of promotion.
An Lingrong defected to the empress
Speaking of their relationship, it is just to use each other and take what they need. The relationship of exchanging interests is often not very reliable, and it is natural to gather because of profits, and naturally it is scattered when the benefits are exhausted.
The foundation of the relationship between the empress and An Lingrong was unstable, the two were harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were calculating and deviating from morality. So they are also destined to be the ultimate losers.
The empress did not attach importance to An Lingrong, but just wanted to use her, and she cancelled An Lingrong's participation in the Jinfeng Conference, so this time the concubine was for An Lingrong,
Instead of achieving substantial gains, they lost everything. She thought that she could become the king, but she didn't think about it, all the members of Zhen Huan's team had been promoted and canonized, and even the dead concubines were more glorious than An Lingrong.
So Ann Bird still lay down his arms and surrender immediately!
An Lingrong betrayed Zhen Huan
Third, the mother's family dragged its feet
On the day an Lingrong entered the palace draft, he was embarrassed and ridiculed by Xia Dongchun, who came to the draft together:
Xia Dongchun: Which show girl are you, pouring such hot tea on me, do you want to die?
Shen Meizhuang: In the royal palace, near the Son of Heaven, who is so frivolous?
An Lingrong: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Summer, Winter, Spring: What do I ask you? Where are you?
An Lingrong: I... My name is An Lingrong, father, father is...
Xia Dongchun: Can't you even say your father's official position?
An Lingrong: His father was An Bihuai of Songyang County.
Summer, Winter, Spring: Ahem! Sure enough, it was a small household that came out of the backwoods of the poor countryside, but they threw their faces into the palace bitterly.
Xia Dongchun mocked An Lingrong's origins
An Lingrong's origin, in this batch of show girls, the identity is most likely the lowest, even she herself did not whisper about her father's official position.
The low birth also brought many obstacles to her harem trip, and she was looked down upon wherever she went. It was difficult to tie up the queen's tree, but my father was imprisoned for corruption.
In order to save her father, she obeyed the empress's arrangement, so that she could not forcibly conceive the child in the conceived body, and used the child to play the emotional card with the emperor.
The queen is also worthy of being an old fox, and using children as chips is indeed the most effective. An Lingrong not only used his child to ascend to the throne, but also saved his father from prison.
An Ling rong was humiliated
Although this time Ambi Huai was safe and sound, in the emperor's heart, he still wanted to be valued, but there was no way, and the concubine was only looking at the love of the fetus in the abdomen.
Her father's official position was not large, and he also had to engage in the work of corrupt officials, which was undoubtedly a drag for the daughters in the palace. In ancient times, the status of a woman in her mother's family also meant the status of a woman in her husband's family.
For the special royal family, this is even more clear. An Lingrong was ostracized and despised everywhere in the palace, and had a great relationship with her mother's family. For An Lingrong, he also lost a sense of self-confidence and confidence.
epilogue
Why is the headdress of Concubine An Lingrong so simple? Because An Lingrong's concubine is only an exchange of interests, the reason why she is not as good as Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua, first of all, the family background of these two is not bad, and there is a strong maternal background as a backer.
Secondly, the emperor was very emotional to both Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan, and the two could get the emperor's attention by virtue of the favor they received from the emperor.
Moreover, An LingRong's concubine was just a move made by the empress, in which the empress seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact she was forced into passivity by Zhen Huan's counterattack of the sixth palace.
Empress Emperor Zhen Huan, all three of them had their own calculations, but in this game, the emperor took one more look at Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan was in an invincible position. For An Lingrong, she was just a pawn in the Queen's chessboard ready to be sacrificed.
Therefore, her tragedy is an inevitability after all, and Zhen Huan is the one who wants to be the empress dowager in the finale, and even the empress is the person she wants to step on, let alone An Lingrong.
