Since ancient times, the inner courtyard of the palace has always been full of power struggles and emotional entanglements.Among them, Ruyi’s growth path is particularly eye-catching.From the first time when the Queen Mother praised her for her impeccable speaking skills and how much better she was than her aunt, to later for being canonized as an imperial concubine, every step Ruyi took was cautious and full of wisdom.
Ruyi is well aware of the complexity of the court, and she understands that her achievements are inseparable from the Queen Mother's teachings.In the eyes of the Queen Mother, Ruyi is a child who knows how to listen and learn.She is not trapped in a cocoon like her aunt, but is able to learn from it and continue to grow.When the Queen Mother reminded her not to make the same mistake again, Ruyi showed a high degree of understanding. She knew that in this palace, every step must be taken with caution.
At the same time, the emperor's regard for Ruyi also aroused the jealousy of other concubines.Concubine Chun's illness, Concubine Jia's ambition, and Yan Wan's plan all caused quite a stir in the palace.However, Ruyi always remained calm and rational, and she used her wisdom and kindness to resolve one crisis after another.
In the conversation between the emperor and the queen mother, we can feel the emperor's deep feelings for Ruyi.He insisted on making Ruyi the imperial concubine, not only because of her outstanding performance in palace affairs, but also because of his trust and dependence on Ruyi.Although the Queen Mother was worried about the emperor's decision, she also understood that the emperor was no longer the child who needed her protection.
Master Anji's prayer ceremony brought a moment of tranquility to the palace. However, beneath this tranquility was a greater storm hidden.Concubine Jia's physical discomfort, the ungrateful behavior of the Princess Himuro, and the appearance of Master Anji's disciple Ando all foreshadowed the subsequent plot.
