The progress of " Liuzhou Ji " is so fast. In just 2 episodes, Liu Miantang has made a clean break with Cui Xingzhou and told Master Ziyu about the past.
Master Ziyu, who was deeply in love with Liu Miantang, also recovered his emotions, married Shi Xueji as the queen, and named Sun Yunniang the concubine Xian.
Sun Yunniang's reaction when she knelt down to listen to the imperial edict of conferring a concubine, foreshadowed her fate in the deep palace.
When the imperial edict read "Call you...", Sun Yunniang, who was wearing a red dress, silently said "Queen" in her heart.
When she heard the eunuch pronounce the word "Xian Fei", Sun Yunniang's expectation collapsed instantly, and she fell to the ground without caring about maintaining etiquette.
Even though she knew that Master Ziyu was engaged to Shi Xueji and that the true love in her heart was Liu Miantang, Sun Yunniang still imagined that Master Ziyu would make her the queen.
This delusion pushed Sun Yunniang to the point of no return, and also made Cui Xingzhou, Liu Miantang and others discover that the real winner in the palace was actually her who was "harmless to humans and animals".
Although Master Ziyu allowed Liu Miantang to leave the capital and file a case with Queen Xian, he never forgot Liu Miantang in his heart.
From the perspective of Tzuyu, who has always "wanted to have both," Liu Miantang will return to him sooner or later.
By then, he would have secured the throne and no longer had to rely on the Shi family and the Sun family. He could completely abolish Queen Shi and make Liu Miantang the new queen.
Ziyu thought he hid his thoughts very well, but he didn't expect that he would reveal a huge flaw between the sheets.
In order to show respect for Queen Stone, Tzuyu would spend most of every month in Queen Stone's palace, and then divide the remaining days equally among several daughters of meritorious officials who were named concubines at the same time.
Soon after, Queen Shi became pregnant, which made Sun Yunniang, who thought highly of herself, red-eyed.
She wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible during the limited bedtime, but every time Tzuyu came to her palace, she said she was very tired and fell asleep.
Once Tzuyu drank too much and even called out Liu Miantang’s name in her sleep!
This dream talk was like a sharp ice pick, piercing Sun Yunniang's heart.
She hated Liu Miantang even more, "Liu Miantang, you and I are incompatible and we will fight to the death!"
Driven by hatred, Sun Yunniang did two stupid things.
She colluded with King Sui to bring Liu Miantang's exiled brother back, but Cui Xingzhou saw the trick and sent him back.
She instigated Concubine Jing to tell Queen Shi that Ziyu had been thinking about Liu Miantang and wanted to arouse Queen Shi's jealousy.
But she never expected that Empress Shi would slap Jingbi back on the spot, saying that she had exceeded the rules, and ordered her to be spanked twenty times until she understood what should be said and what should not be said.
Only then did Sun Yunniang realize that this queen who was drinking tea and eating snacks again was by no means as "harmless" as she seemed.
During the nights when Ziyu slept in the Queen's Palace, Queen Shi must have heard him call "Liu Miantang"!
Even though she knew that her husband loved someone else, Queen Shi was able to live her own life calmly and calmly. Her style and open-mindedness far surpassed that of Sun Yunniang.
But Queen Shi's immobility did not make Sun Yunniang learn to be smarter.
Sun Yunniang took advantage of Queen Shi's late pregnancy and her weight loss to take the power of managing the harem into her own hands. She also went out of the palace to worship the Buddha when Liu Miantang went out, hoping to give Liu Miantang a showdown in person.
But Sun Yunniang made a mistake again, Liu Miantang cleverly sent someone to set a fire, which not only successfully rescued the siege, but also accused Sun Yunniang of rushing into the people.
When Sun Yunniang knelt in front of the emperor to plead guilty, Queen Shi beside her ate snacks as usual and did not help at all.
But when the emperor asked Queen Shi how to deal with Sun Yunniang, Queen Shi explained that Sun Yunniang was just implicated, and at the same time punished her severely and made her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days!
Queen Shi also specifically told her mother not to add a brazier in the ancestral hall for fear of causing a fire.
Now, Sun Yunniang, who had been frozen in the ancestral hall for three days, completely understood the deep thoughts behind Queen Shi's "foodie" character.
The reason why Queen Shi gave up the power of the harem to Sun Yunniang was to let her make mistakes and take the opportunity to trap her and prevent her from causing trouble when Queen Shi gave birth.
Queen Shi was a concubine of the Shi family and was not favored. She was wary of Sun Yunniang and her daughter, as well as the Empress Dowager and King Sui, so she could only pretend to be stupid and be kind to all the concubines.
When the Shi family wanted to prevent their legitimate daughter from entering the palace, Queen Shi did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, she walked around the cold palace with her legitimate daughter, letting her sister hear with her own ears how miserable the concubines in the cold palace were.
As soon as the legitimate daughter returned home, she refused to enter the palace as a concubine.
Like Sun Yuniang, Queen Shi also fell in love with Tzuyu at first sight, but after she knew that Tzuyu only loved Liu Miantang, she gave up the idea of getting his whole heart.
Since I can't be Tzuyu's lover, I might as well be his good wife, who can not only help him share his worries, but also protect myself.
Later, the frail Tzuyu died young, and Queen Shi's legitimate son succeeded to the throne.
This concubine, who came from a humble background and was never valued by her family, finally ascended to the highest position and became the powerful Queen Mother.
is not trapped in love. She remains calm on the surface and relies on her strength in private. No wonder Shi Xueji can become the biggest winner of the whole drama!
