A "Biography of Zhen Huan" wrote the story of the group of flower-like women in the harem, they may have a prominent family lineage, may have a beautiful face, may have organic and sensitive wisdom, they are for power, for glory and wealth, perhaps for love, under the face of the flower, there is a heart of struggle, their struggle has nothing to do with right or wrong, only for what they want in their hearts.
Among this group of women, there was a cold and arrogant Shen Meizhuang, she entered the harem with the mission of the glory family, and after experiencing life and death, seeing through the emperor's cold feelings and unreliability, she resolutely froze her heart to the emperor, threw herself into the empress dowager to seek protection, and quit this intrigue between women, which can be said to be extremely intelligent.
This proud woman, with her own wisdom, weaved a network of relationships in the harem that could still protect her son's lifelong glory after death, but she did not expect that it was with this network of relationships and the power of her own family that she sent her son to the imperial throne that countless people dreamed of.
Shen Meizhuang, the daughter of Shen Zishan, the governor of Jeju, was born noble, and when she reached the age, she entered the palace draft according to the rules, which is the road that every daughter of the official family must take, and the seventeen-year-old Shen Meizhuang was no exception, she entered the palace draft with the mission of the glory family, she was smart, beautiful, gentle, and atmospheric, and at a glance she was favored by the empress and the emperor, leaving a sign to give a sachet, becoming a noble person from the five pins, one rank higher than the good sister Zhen Huan's ZhengLiu pin nobleman, and four or five grades higher than An Lingrong's selection of seven pins.
Shen Meizhuang's family is good, outstanding in appearance, dignified and calm, and is called by the empress to have the demeanor of a respectful concubine when she was young, which shows that she appreciates her, and the emperor is more favorable to her, not only is she the first among the women who enter the palace in the same batch, but also the most favored.
The emperor saw that she liked chrysanthemums, and not only renamed her residence Cunju Hall, but also rewarded her with chrysanthemums cultivated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and sent pots of precious chrysanthemums into the Cunju Hall, so that the arrogant concubines all looked red, which showed the emperor's favor for her.
The emperor not only loved her, but also valued her talent and stability, allowing her to learn to manage the affairs of the six palaces, which is the dream of many harem women, for this assistant harem affairs, Concubine Hua and the empress openly fought and fought in many rings, and Shen Meizhuang did not enter the palace for a long time, and the emperor personally promised to learn the affairs of the six palaces.
This means that the emperor not only spoils her, but also values her, which is what makes the empress and Concubine Hua secretly frightened, and Shen Meizhuang himself is also very capable, seeing things thoroughly, calmly encountering things, being able to be patient in the face of Huafei's provocations, for the provocation of the empress and Huafei, you can see the essence behind it at a glance, never with the good sister Zhen Huan, so there is a gap, still support each other, according to this rhythm of development, Shen Meizhuang's future path is unlimited, directly threatening the status of Concubine Hua, but also makes the empress uneasy.
Wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
The empress was jealous of Shen Meizhuang, and Concubine Hua wanted to get rid of it quickly, so there was a conspiracy for Shen Meizhuang to be pushed into the koi pond, but Shen Meizhuang was considered to be a big fate and was saved in time, although frightened, there was no fear of life.
After the recovery, Shen Meizhuang knew that she had been secretly calculated, but because there was no evidence, she claimed that she had fallen into the water, and this hidden and patient mind was not something that ordinary people could do, and she was still a spoiled concubine, and she could not be pampered and proud, secretly planning for herself, which was really remarkable.
Shen Meizhuang was favored, and was valued by the emperor, and was the most proud figure in the harem, but she was very sober, and she also knew the law of harem survival, she knew very well that the emperor's favor could not last long, nor was it reliable, only the child was her own dependence, so she sought the secret method, hoping to be pregnant as soon as possible.
Shen Meizhuang's thoughts were learned by Concubine Hua, so a well-planned conspiracy made Shen Meizhuang pregnant, she was overjoyed, the emperor was also very happy, and she was promoted to her position, and it was a batch of gifts to be given to her, but before the joy had passed, she was exposed by another elaborate conspiracy to expose the fact that she was not pregnant.
Knowing the fact that she was not pregnant, the emperor turned his face faster than he could turn the book, did not ask any questions, demoted her position on the spot, and grounded her.
Shen Meizhuang suddenly fell from the clouds, for which she saw clearly the emperor's coolness and unreliability, saw through the viciousness of the harem struggle, and her heart was like a dead day.
This was the most desolate, saddest and disappointing day of Shen Meizhuang's life, and it was also the time when her personality changed and rethinked how to survive in the harem glory without relying on the emperor. This period of the most difficult years made Shen Meizhuang mature a lot at once, and she was more tolerant and more aware of the nature of the harem struggle, which was also the philosophy of her later being able to stay out of the matter, save herself, and save her family.
Zhen Huan did not disappoint Shen Meizhuang, and finally captured Liu Qi, returned Shen Meizhuang's innocence, and also allowed Shen Meizhuang, who was suffering from the epidemic, to get timely treatment, escape from death, and retrieve a life.
Shen Meizhuang, who was reborn, was not the ignorant girl who had just entered the palace, had an infinite vision of love, and had a dreamlike expectation for the emperor, when everything was awakened by the cruel reality, she quickly wrapped herself up, sealed her heart, and no longer left the slightest temperature for the emperor.
At this time, Shen Meizhuang was like the chrysanthemum she liked, cold and arrogant, she no longer had a little illusion about the emperor, nor would she easily bow her head and beg for the emperor's protection, she began to serve the empress dowager day by day, seeking the empress's protection.
Shen Meizhuang's filial piety was invaluable to the empress, and also allowed the empress dowager to see her backbone and pride, value her more, treat her like a daughter, shelter her everywhere, and love her.
Since then, Shen Meizhuang has wandered out of the struggle between women, like a chrysanthemum that blooms independently on the top of the mountain, beautiful, fragrant, and unapproachable, and the women of the harem see that she is hiding from the emperor everywhere, and they have lost their guard against her, no longer embarrassed her, nor fighting with her.
Shen Meizhuang lived in his own world, waiting for the empress dowager every day, that is, with his good sister Zhen Huan, and then in his own small courtyard to enjoy himself, live leisurely, but people are emotional animals, she was disappointed in the emperor, not disappointed in everyone, when Wen Shichu rescued her from the danger of the plague, and from time to time came to see her, slowly, she moved her heart to this gentle and elegant man.
Although Shen Meizhuang had a heart for Wen Shichu, she clearly knew that she was the emperor's woman, she must abide by women's morality, and she could not have the slightest disagreement, she just silently liked Wen Shichu, which was a cruel thing for a girl in her twenties, but Shen Meizhuang did it, which was very difficult.
Although Shen Meizhuang was far away from fighting, in the harem, it was impossible not to fight at all.
When Concubine Hua was embarrassed by Zhen Huan and punished zhen huan for kneeling, she accompanied Zhen Huan to punish her kneeling.
When Zhen Huan wanted to regain favor after falling out of favor, it was she who helped Zhen Huan to lead the emperor to the Yimei Garden, so that Zhen Huan regained favor.
When Princess Hua burned Yuxuan, it was she who cleverly scratched herself, making the emperor determined to execute Princess Hua, a fierce enemy, and also avenge herself.
When Zhen Huan became a monk at Ganlu Temple, Shen Meizhuang asked the empress dowager to shelter Zhen Huan everywhere, so that Zhen Huan could stay safely in Ganlu Temple until she returned to the palace again.
Shen Meizhuang not only helped Zhen Huan everywhere, but also tried her best to help the emperor's other concubines.
For the emperor's cousin Hu Yunrong, a woman with a good family and as proud as Concubine Hua, Shen Meizhuang helped her in time when the child was difficult to give birth, so that she always missed Shen Meizhuang in the years that followed.
For Xu Yanyi, who has always been obsessed with the emperor, because she was not born well, she has not been favored by the emperor, and the empress and other concubines have also stepped on her, but Shen Meizhuang can always help her.
For Concubine Jing, it is needless to say that she entered the palace to be taken care of by Concubine Jing, and later the two raised Concubine Yue together, and their feelings were even better than others.
Shen Meizhuang had the protection of the empress dowager, was sincerely good to her, and thought of her everywhere, and many women in the harem had a good impression of her, at least no one hated her, which was very rare.
Shen Meizhuang's cold arrogance and backbone were looked at by the emperor in his eyes, remembered in his heart, but he was more attentive to her, so under the mediation of the empress dowager's constant opportunity and ear to face, the emperor once again walked into Shen Meizhuang's broken jade xuan.
The cold-hearted Shen Meizhuang drunk the emperor, the next person found Wen Shichu to give the emperor a liquor, I don't know if it was because he was drunk, or did not want to suppress his own Shen Meizhuang decided to live for himself, fed the warm wine given by the empress dowager to Wen Shichu, I don't know whether the wine was chaotic, or the two borrowed wine to mess with sex, so after one night, Shen Meizhuang became pregnant.
The pregnant Shen Meizhuang became a national treasure level protected animal, first of all, the empress dowager was very happy, and secondly, the emperor who had few heirs was also very happy, but the happiest was Shen Meizhuang, although she knew that this child was Wen Shichu, but she was still happy, because this was the child of someone she liked.
When Shen Meizhuang was about to give birth, Guan Wenyuan told Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu that he had an adulterous affair, and Wen Shichu had proved his innocence in the palace, and was heard by Shen Meizhuang, who had rushed over, directly frightened and fainted, and then gave birth in advance, and after giving birth to the child, he hemorrhaged and died.
Because the emperor was ashamed of Shen Meizhuang, he was crowned as a concubine from Erpin Shuyuan when he became pregnant in Shen Meizhuang, and was also crowned as Zheng Erpin Huifei during childbirth, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Zhengyi Pinde Concubine, and was buried according to the etiquette of noble concubines, which can be described as the ultimate glory and favor after death.
After Shen Meizhuang's death, the empress dowager was extremely angry, so that the empress no longer cared about the affairs of the palace, and there was a hidden grounding posture, Guan Wenyan was moved to Yongxiang to live, and all other people who were in trouble were disposed of, and the children born of Shen Meizhuang were given to Zhen Huan to raise.
The net woven by Shen Meizhuang before her death still benefited her son after her death, the son Yurun had the highest authority of the harem, the empress dowager, and a lady concubine who was only the empress in the harem, Zhen Huan, raised her, and the emperor poured his guilt on Shen Meizhuang into the child, who although he did not have a biological mother, but lived very well.
When the children grew up, when it came to becoming crown prince, the emperor had only three sons, one was Yu Run, the son of Shen Meizhuang, one was Yu Han, the son of Zhen Huan, and the son of Xu Yanyi was Yu Pei.
Among these three sons, Yu Pei was directly kicked out of the crown prince because his mother Xu Yanyi was too low-born and not favored.
The emperor intended to make Zhen Huan's son Yu Han the crown prince, but Yu Han's identity was always suspected, and the emperor himself suspected that he was not his own son, and the ministers always used the reason that there were few sons and a strong mother, afraid that Zhen Huan would interfere in politics when she arrived, there were supporters, and there were also those who wanted to kill Zhen Huan in advance, and the emperor was naturally reluctant to kill her, nor could he make up his mind to make her son the prince.
Zhen Huan also did not want her son to be emperor, and she wanted her children to pass on to Xuanqing, so she proposed that Shen Meizhuang's son be crown prince.
After Shen Meizhuang's death, she was posthumously awarded the title of Zhengyi Pinde Concubine, and later posthumously awarded the title of second concubine after the empress, with a noble status, a strong family power, and there was no hidden danger of a young child and a strong mother, in this case, everyone agreed unanimously, no one objected, her own popularity in the harem was good, even the concubines of the harem did not disagree, it was really expected.
Shen Meizhuang's son can finally ascend to the emperor's throne, it is estimated that Shen Meizhuang did not expect it, which also explains a doubt of everyone, that is, when the emperor was dying, he heard that Yurun was the son of Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu, why was he so shocked, why was he so frightened?
Whoever put this matter on will also be frightened, the son he has loved for so many years is someone else's not to say, the important thing is that his own country and mountains have been changed surnames, this is too terrible, no wonder the emperor will die blind.
Shen Meizhuang's son, who has never doubted his bloodline, and who can ascend to the throne with great expectations, illustrates a problem, that is, a person who does good deeds all day long, does good deeds all day, does nothing all day, and occasionally does a bad thing, everyone will not think about her, and the good fortune she has formed is finally reported to her son, which may be what the Buddhists say has a cause and an effect.
