In the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Emperor Yongzheng was favored because Zhen Huan resembled his former empress Chunyuan. However, an unknown emotional detail revealed that his love for another woman, Zhen Huan's sister Yurao, even exceeded that of Zhen Huan.
The beginning of the story is that Yongzheng met Zhen Huan's sister Yurao at Zhen Huan's place, and Yongzheng, who kept saying that he wanted to "be a couple for a lifetime" with Zhen Huan, fell in love with his wife and sister at first sight. Although it is not stated in the play, it is written in the original book that Yurao looks more like Queen Chunyuan than Zhen Huan. Therefore, Yongzheng's feelings for Yurao, like his feelings for Zhen Huan, began with Yurao as a Chunyuan periphery. Later, Yongzheng began to test Zhen Huan and Yurao's attitude in every way.
Ke Yurao witnessed her sister Zhen Huan being kicked out of the palace when she was making Yongzheng a treasure, and her whole family was exiled to Ningguta. and witnessed how many pairs of harem women's eyes stared at her sister and the child in her belly when her sister entered the palace again, Yongzheng was either successfully sowing discord, or hoping that Zhen Huan could compromise for his great cause. Yurao is on Yongzheng, and she can't see love at all. And I don't want to destroy my sister Zhen Huan's "one life and one couple" in her mind. At this time, Yurao met the like-minded Shen Beile again, so she had to find a way to extinguish Yongzheng's thoughts about herself.
One day, Yurao was playing the piano and was met by Yongzheng. When the emperor heard that Yurao was playing a poem expressing his love for the gentleman, he mistakenly thought that Yurao was playing this poem to express his thoughts about himself. So I stepped forward to talk. Yurao couldn't refuse the emperor outright, as it might cause trouble for her and her family. Therefore, she took a more ingenious way and asked the emperor if he liked her because of Zhen Huan. When the emperor heard Yurao's question, he understood that she was testing him.
Yongzheng denied and said: "You are like her, but not like her, you have more heroic and charming people who are not afraid of the sky." ”
This sentence is the emperor's praise for Yurao. It also shows that Yongzheng is indeed because of Zhen Huan, more precisely because of Queen Chunyuan, who likes Yurao. But Yongzheng said that Yurao is not exactly like Zhen Huan or Queen Chunyuan. And this kind of dislike is not a denial of Yurao, but a praise for Yurao. At this point, Yongzheng's original intention was probably to say that in his heart, Yurao was not Zhen Huan's stand-in, nor was she Queen Chunyuan's stand-in.
Yes, in Yongzheng's harem, the only thing that can be described as "not afraid of heaven and earth" and "heroic and charming" is only the favorite concubine Nian Shilan.
Other words
You must know that Yi Xiu, who is the queen, was only promoted because she was the sister of Queen Chunyuan, and Zhen Huan was favored because she looked like Queen Chunyuan. In the harem beauties that Yongzheng really loves, only Nian Shilan does not have the shadow of Queen Chunyuan. Therefore, Yongzheng himself didn't realize that his love for Nian Shilan was as heartfelt as Queen Chunyuan, without any calculations. In other words, in the harem, the woman Yongzheng really loves, except for Queen Chunyuan, is Nian Shilan. But Nian Shilan had Nian Qianyao, an unstable factor affecting the society, which led Yongzheng to finally choose Jiangshan and give up Nian Shilan.
Now, Yongzheng has met Yurao, a woman who combines the advantages of Queen Chunyuan and Nian Shilan, and it is naturally an inevitable posture.
However, he himself didn't know that he cherished Yurao so much.
Helplessly, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. Yurao knelt down and said that she only wanted to be the wife of a lover to reject Yongzheng. In addition, Zhen Huan deliberately let Yongzheng see Yurao and Shen Beile together. Su Peisheng said again, "No matter how good it is, it is not Queen Chunyuan", and Yongzheng finally chose to give up Yurao.
In this game of love and power, Yurao did not become one of the harems in the end and successfully married Shen Beile. And Yongzheng also gave up in a daze, who may be the woman he loves the most in this life.
But what if you don't give up? With Yongzheng's character, even if she reluctantly keeps Yurao in the palace, she may end up hurting Yurao and Zhen Huan sisters for the sake of the so-called country, or because of others' sowing discord.
As for Queen Chunyuan, it was just too early to leave, and she didn't wait for Yongzheng to sacrifice her for her own interests.
