The palace maid Qingyi is an embroidery girl in the embroidery room and has been in the palace for five years. In the past five years, she had seen through the battles in the palace, so she felt at ease that she was just a palace maid. At the birthday party of his younger brother, the emperor was shocked when he saw the embroidery on his clothes. Because this embroidery method was consistent with the embroidery method of the deceased imperial concubine, the emperor ordered Aunt Qiu Yan, the head of the embroidery room, to find the embroidery girl who embroidered for the little brother. The moment the emperor saw Qingyi, he thought the imperial concubine was back again.
Qingyi didn't dare to accept the emperor's love for her. She really didn't understand why the emperor was so shocked when he saw her. All this aroused the Queen's dissatisfaction and jealousy, and she began to frame Qingyi.
Two days before the palace banquet, the Queen ordered Qingyi to embroider flowers on her cheongsam. Qingyi understood that the queen was deliberately making things difficult for her, so she didn't say anything and just worked day and night. Unexpectedly, the empress was shocked and angry when she received the cheongsam made by Qingyi for her. She cut the silk thread of a peony flower in front of Qingyi, and ordered the guards to beat Qingyi's 30 big boards again. Later, he was rescued by the emperor.
During Qingyi's illness, the emperor visited her from time to time, and Qingyi began to slowly accept the emperor. One night the emperor summoned Qingyi in the imperial study. They had a pleasant conversation and then had a meal together. That night the emperor favored Qingyi. When the queen found out, she was very angry and took it out on the maids and eunuchs around her. When the emperor and the queen were having dinner together, the emperor wanted to make Qingyi his concubine. The queen strongly opposed it, which made the emperor unhappy.
Two months later, Qingyi felt unwell, so Aunt Qiuyan called the imperial doctor to check Qingyi's pulse. Unexpectedly, Qingyi was already one month pregnant. Aunt Qiuyan did not find it strange and asked the imperial doctor to keep this matter a secret. After the emperor went to court, Aunt Qiuyan asked to see the emperor and informed him about Qingyi's pregnancy. The emperor was overjoyed. Ask Eunuch Su to prepare for the concubine ceremony immediately.
After becoming a concubine, Qingyi was deeply favored by the emperor, which made other concubines dissatisfied. Under the instigation of the queen, all the concubines hated Qingyi deeply and used words to insult Qingyi every time they saw her. However, Qingyi did not take it to heart, and the emperor did not know about it. Qingyi told the emperor that he asked Yun'er and Yunjin to serve him, and the emperor readily agreed.
The queen bribed the young eunuch in the imperial dining room and poisoned Qingyi's food. That night, the emperor and Qingyi ate together. After a while, Qingyi was in severe pain. The emperor summoned all the doctors, but they still couldn't save the fetus. The emperor later investigated the matter thoroughly.
A year later, the emperor organized a summer vacation in the Old Summer Palace. On the way, the queen deliberately showed Qingyi the portrait of the imperial concubine, and told her that the reason why the emperor favored her was because she looked very similar to the imperial concubine. Qingyi was not angry after hearing this, but only felt sad. After that, she was also very cold towards the emperor. She didn't want to be someone else's shadow.
Winter is here, and there is heavy snow outside. Qingyi was accidentally poisoned. Later she knew it was the Queen's doing. At this time, she understood that if she continued to be so weak, she would lose her life sooner or later, so she began to become scheming, but Qingyi believed that if no one harmed her intentionally, she would not harm others. Qingyi began to look for evidence that the queen framed the imperial concubine. In the end, the emperor executed the queen, and Qingyi naturally became the mother of a country.
Qingyi, who became a queen, has always been worried about her resemblance to the imperial concubine. In the end, she couldn't hold back her emotions and ran to confirm with the emperor. After the emperor explained to Qingyi, Qingyi didn't believe it after all, so the two had a big quarrel, and Qingyi felt that he was not worth it. After sneaking out of the palace at night, the emperor found out that he did not send troops to pursue her, because he knew that there were many people in the palace who wanted Qingyi's death, and he was afraid that those villains would take advantage of her. Qingyi, who was outside the palace, felt disappointed because the emperor did not send anyone to look for her.
Yun Jin has always been envious of the emperor's love for Qingyi. She wants to be rich and powerful, and wants to become the emperor's favorite concubine. She deliberately approached the emperor, then slowly opened up to him, and said a lot of bad things about Qingyi to the emperor. The emperor heard this but didn't remember it in his heart. He understood Yun Jin's purpose of doing this, so he directly made Yun Jin a noble person, but he never touched Yun Jin.
Three months later, Qingyi became pregnant again. She knew that she had to enter the palace, otherwise the identity of the child would be unknown. That night the emperor came
