When watching "The Biography of Zhen Huan", almost everyone has a consensus: those who can live to the end must be smart people.
For example, in the summer, winter and spring, the appearance of arrogance was unbearable, and An Lingrong was trampled under his feet, and as a result, he was rewarded by Concubine Hua in less than one episode.
Another example is Yu Ying'er, because she heard Zhen Huan's conversation with the emperor, and flew up the branches to become a phoenix.
As a result, Yu Ying'er's own talent could not support her adventure at all, coupled with the reason of standing on the wrong team, she played herself off the line within a few days, and the result was still sent away by An Lingrong.
The examples of Xia Dongchun and Yu Ying'er illustrate a truth: only a face and no brain cannot survive in the palace.
But there are exceptions to everything, and in the biography of Zhen Huan, there is really a person who is not beautiful and has no brain, who has lived longer than Concubine Hua. This person was Concubine Qi, who gave her the nickname "Qi Erha".
Although Concubine Qi was in the position of concubine, she was not welcomed by the emperor, and every time the emperor mentioned her, it was an expression that was difficult to say.
The only common language between Concubine Qi and the Emperor is Brother San'a, but Brother Three is also an indisputable lord, because of the problem of homework, the emperor is angry all day, but indirectly affects Concubine Qi as a mother.
However, Princess Qi was a member of the empress's camp, and with the support of the empress, she was guaranteed to sit back and relax with the three brothers.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the prince is not targeted by the empress, the probability of growing up smoothly is still very high.
But the price that Concubine Qi needed to pay was that it had to be highly bound to the interests of the empress. In other words, the three brothers are not only her son, but also the queen's son, and the most important pawn in the queen's hand.
It is precisely because Qi Fei is useful to the queen that she can live to 52 episodes before she is offline, which happens to be deliberately done by the queen.
Princess Qi's mind was indeed not as good as that of empress dowager and Zhen Huan, but she was much more shrewd than the brainless Xia Dongchun and Yu Ying'er.
In other words, Qi Fei's stupidity is a person she can stand up, and it is also her protective color. Qi Fei's mouth was very indebted, and she often said some hurtful words, but even Concubine Hua rarely bothered with her.
Because, in the hearts of everyone, Qi Fei is a very stupid person who can't talk or do things but has a brain. Calculating with the "fool" has lowered her own IQ, and it is precisely because of this that Concubine Qi has no fear.
But in fact, what kind of person Princess Qi was, the empress could not have been clearer in her heart.
Princess Qi has been in the empress for so many years, the two are in cahoots, they must have done a lot of bad things, otherwise they would not understand each other's tacit understanding of each other's intentions with one look and one sentence.
Before Princess Hua fell, the Empress had to maintain the image of Xianliang Shude, so Concubine Qi became the Empress's spokesperson. Using oleander powder to harm Zhen Huan and red date soup to harm Ye Lanyi, all behind the queen's gesture.
Of course, the empress did not directly ask Concubine Qi to harm Zhen Huan and Ye Lanyi, but only vaguely mentioned it, and Concubine Qi knew.
Such a degree of tacit understanding shows that the two must have done a lot of similar things. It was precisely because of the empress protecting her that Concubine Qi was so fearless. Harming Zhen Huan that time was fine, she would also think that harming Ye Lanyi would not be okay.
Of course, Princess Qi harmed Zhen Huan and Ye Lanyi, and she also had her own little abacus in it.
Princess Qi wanted her stupid son to inherit the throne, but the third brother was so talented that as a mother, she had to help her son pave the way.
And this is exactly the reason why the empress bound Concubine Qi firmly. Every time, when the empress wanted to use Concubine Qi to do something, she would always make a fuss about the three brothers, and although the trick was old-fashioned, it worked very well every time.
Concubine Qi thought that her interests and the empress were highly bound, but what she did not expect was that the queen only cared about the three brothers.
In the eyes of the empress, Concubine Qi was just a dispensable pawn, and could be decisively abandoned when it was useless. When the empress decided to get rid of Concubine Qi, she already had a plan in mind.
If the empress wanted to completely take the three brothers into her pocket, she would have to get rid of the stumbling block of Concubine Qi. Even without Ye Lanyi, there would be other reasons. Sadly, Princess Qi did not see that the empress was about to abandon herself.
By the time she realized something was wrong, the big mistake had been made and there was no turning back.
At this point, Concubine Qi became an outcast and was abandoned by the empress without mercy. Therefore, Princess Qi chose to accept the reality, which was also a sincerity to the empress, asking her to be kinder to the three brothers.
Therefore, I don't think Princess Qi is really stupid, I can only say that she is not as calculating as the empress.
If Qi Fei was really stupid, she would never have lived to episode 52, and she would have received a box lunch like Summer, Winter, Spring, and Yu Ying'er. On the contrary, stupidity has become the protective color of Concubine Qi, protecting her all the way to safety.
If it were not for the mistake of getting on the queen's "thief ship", Princess Qi would most likely live to the end, and it would not be a tragic end.
