The emperor gets rid of Qi Ru
In ancient palaces, the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor was usually complex and subtle.As the emperor's mother and former ruler, the Queen Mother's influence on the emperor cannot be ignored.During this banquet, the Queen Mother arranged for Mei Bi and Qing Guiren to sing and perform on the lotus boat, not only for entertainment, but also to take this opportunity to convey her wishes to the emperor.
The Queen Mother questioned the emperor's behavior of favoring Ruyi.She believed that although Ruyi was favored by the emperor, she failed to continue the bloodline of the royal family, which was detrimental to the harmony of the harem and the future of the royal family.The Queen Mother reminded the Emperor that he should take care of the concubines in the harem and protect them from rain and dew. This is to maintain the stability of the harem and the prosperity of the royal family.
Under the arrangement of the Queen Mother, Mei Bi and Qing Guiren became the protagonists of this banquet.However, the Queen Mother was not very relieved about Mei Bin. She believed that Qing Gui was not safe alone, so she asked Fujia to pay attention to the housekeeper Gege in order to win over the emperor.This shows that while maintaining her own power, the Queen Mother was also considering how to choose more suitable concubines for the royal family.
The emperor's reaction showed his respect and compromise for the queen mother.He promised not to neglect the people in the harem in the future, which showed that he was willing to balance the relationship in the harem under the guidance of the Queen Mother.However, the emperor's favor for Yan Wan also caused jealousy and disputes in the harem.
As a newly promoted concubine, Yan Wan's performance won the emperor's praise.However, this also caused dissatisfaction among other concubines.Both Concubine Jia and Concubine Chun expressed dissatisfaction with Yan Wan's promotion, believing that her status had been promoted too quickly.This dissatisfaction spread in the harem, exacerbating the tension in the harem.
At the same time, the Queen Mother's attitude towards Yan Wan also seemed complicated.On the one hand, she appreciates Yan Wan's talent and wit, but on the other hand, she is worried that she will become an unstable factor in the harem.This ambivalence reflects the Queen Mother's struggle between maintaining her own power and maintaining the stability of her harem.
In addition, the emperor also showed dissatisfaction with the interference of the queen mother.He thought that the Queen Mother's hand was stretched too far, and even had the idea of taking the imperial doctor beside him.This shows the emperor's determination to maintain his power and independent decision-making.
Throughout the story, harem strife and royal power struggles are deftly woven together.The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the concubines each have different goals and interests. The interactions and conflicts between them form the core of the story.By depicting the psychology and actions of these characters, the story shows the complex interpersonal relationships and power struggles in the ancient palace.
