The Queen's Ordeal

I read it on a pirated website many years ago and I really liked it. Today I suddenly thought of this movie and wanted to review it, only to find out that the version I watched back then was a pirated version, so I came here to review it. Thanks for the great article, madam.

I read it on Baidu a long time ago, and I paid to read it again to support the author. It's a good article and more logical.

The ending here is pretty good too! The author writes about the harem life without the influence of Huan Zhuyuan's plot, which is quite real.

... Thanks to my decisiveness, I bought the last chapter, and I can't complain anymore.

I have never eaten vinegar fish before. After coming to Hangzhou, I have to say that vinegar fish has no other taste except sourness. It is really not delicious.

. . . Did we have kites in Weifang during the Qing Dynasty?

The heroine was really frustrated from beginning to end...

The final winner of this article, Yongji

Well, let me make it clear first that this article is specifically written for Ruo Qian and Lian classmates~ The previous reply I received from Lian classmates downstairs was too simple. After thinking about it, I felt it was necessary to write a long review to talk about this "concept" issue. It is said that the purpose of "The Queen is Difficult" is to "encourage obedience to the rules". I personally find it very funny XDDDD This is actually very obvious. The protagonist of a novel should be the most important embodiment of the theme of the novel. The protagonist of "The Queen is Difficult"-Ms. Zhong Ming, the protagonist who traveled through time and became the queen in "Huan Zhu Princess", must meet at least two things to prove that "you must abide by the rules to have good results": first, she does abide by the rules, and second, she really has good results. But these two... Are they really included in the article? Although everyone in the article, except the protagonist, thinks that this queen abides by the rules, we are all readers with a God's perspective. If we hold ourselves to the standards of the characters in the book, this standard is too low~~ Zhong Ming does try to be as "observant of the rules" as the natives in every aspect of life, but the goal she has been working hard for and finally achieved is completely the biggest "foul". She hopes that "her" son Yong Cun will become the emperor and she will become the queen mother, because Qianlong may depose the queen, but Yong Cang must not be unfilial to her "blood mother". Only by becoming the queen mother can she relax and not worry about being locked up in a dark room. As a woman in a feudal society, the "rules" stipulate that she should regard her husband as her heaven and Qianlong as the center of everything. Can hoping that her husband die can be regarded as abiding by the rules? As a queen of the Qing Dynasty, the "rules" did not allow her to worry about the throne for her son. What's more, she was not only worried about it, but also used methods such as pretending to be indisputable (to seek the iron hat king for her son), squeezing out opponents (fooling Qianlong to leave Xiaoyanzi, in order to hinder Yongqi and reduce points) and other means to make efforts for her son to ascend to the throne. Can such calculations about the high position be called abiding by the rules? Did Ms. Zhong Ming dare to tell Qianlong directly, "I can only be safe if you die and my son becomes emperor?" The "unreasonable dogma" of feudal society has always restricted more than just love. The wife cannot challenge her husband's power, and the harem cannot interfere in politics (Empress Zhong does not conspire with courtiers to sell their official positions and get titles, but isn't the issue of succession to the throne itself political?) It is also the "rules". How can Empress Zhong abide by them? She just acted very cleverly and concealed her true purpose. Finally, after the hard struggle, did Queen Zhong get any good results? She only got the position of empress dowager, that is to say, with material protection and personal safety guarantee, is this a happy life? For the rest of her life, she would have to remain a widow to Qianlong, with no chance of remarriage. It was also difficult to have the opportunity to go out of the palace (you could even leave the palace in a car without even lifting the curtains), not to mention there was no internet or electricity. She had passed through all kinds of convenient modern society, and no matter how noble she was in the world of pearls, it could not help her return to her original home! After reading this article, I don't envy or want to experience the life of Empress Zhong as a "master and empress" who makes slaves call her maids. And I don't believe that any girl reading the article would envy or want to experience it. I don't believe that Empress Zhong herself would find this cheating life very happy.

The article is very interesting and captivating. In Huanzhuli, I also prefer Ziwei, who is sincere, kind and sensible, while Xiaoyanzi, especially in the second part, is noisy, brainless and unlovable. However, to be honest, the intention and realm of this article are far different from "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Some readers say that Qiong Yao's three views are not correct. However, what is the charm of Princess Huanzhu? Huanzhugege herself may not be very lovable, but the charm lies in her (their) spirit of optimism, non-conformity, and the courage to challenge oppressive rule, which reflects the liberation of human personality as a human being, rather than firmly shackles of oneself under the shackles of unreasonable dogma. The feudal royal family has a set of rules. Yes, as described in "The Queen is Difficult", as long as a smart person abides by the rules, she may get a good ending, but those who don't abide by the rules will inevitably die. This was the reality at the time. As for "Huan Zhuge Ge", the two princesses it describes, instead of being overthrown and assimilated by this feudal dogma, actually gained love in the process of (unconscious) resistance and walked out of a legendary life. Love is more important than feudal ethics (concubine status), more important than foolishness and filial piety, and life and free humanity are more important than feudal shackles and rigid rules. Why did China fall into the state of a sleeping lion before the 20th century? It is precisely because Chinese people generally lack the spirit of resisting dogma and pursuing themselves, and this lack directly leads to the lack of creativity. The story "Huanzhugege" has a very textbook concept, and may be boring, but to say that the three views are incorrect is simply a slap in the face to the progressive trend of human civilization for hundreds of years. And what does "The Queen is Hard" promote? You must abide by the rules and dogma, don't go out of your way, you shouldn't pursue your own love, and you shouldn't have free thoughts and ideals. When your love is not accepted by your parents, you must be "filial" and give up love... I don't want to say anything, but things that have been thrown into the pile of old papers since the Renaissance are being used again. The heroine was lucky enough to become a queen and become the upper-level leader of this feudal bureaucracy. Therefore, she protected the rules and regulations, worked diligently and loyally to her position, and gained a good life as a result. That's all.
