In the ancient imperial palace, Cui Geun-Xi was sent to the palace from an early age and became a little servant girl. Her docile character is not good at fighting, which makes her particularly inconspicuous among the many maids. As the lowest servant girl, she always undertakes the hardest work. In winter, she had to wash the maids' clothes with cold cold water and even wash the intimate clothes for the aunts in charge.
Cui Geun-Xi's hands are covered with frostbite because she has been immersed in ice water for a long time. Every movement brings great pain, and her life seems to be full of despair in the eyes of others.
One day, Cui Geun-Xi was bullied by several maids in a remote courtyard. At the moment when she endured humiliation and tears fell quietly, the arrival of the Queen of Pure Yuan changed everything. The queen happened to pass by while she was walking and saw the scene.
"stop!" Queen Chunyuan's voice was calm and firm, and the maids immediately stopped their movements and fell to their knees in panic.
Queen Chunyuan approached Cui Geun-Xi and asked softly, "what's your name?"
"if you go back to the queen, your maidservant's name is Cui Geun-Xi." Cui Geun-Xi bowed her head and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.
The queen noticed the frostbite on Cui Geun-Xi's hand. She sighed and said, "come with me. I'll let the doctor treat you."
Since then, Cui Geun-Xi's fate has taken a turn for the better. Although she never had a chance to repay the queen, she took the kindness to heart. After the death of Empress Chunyuan, her heart was full of grief and regret.
Then, Cui Geun-Xi began to serve Princess Shu, but it wasn't long before she chose to become a monk. Cui Geun-Xi once again faced a turning point in her life. After years of hard work and patience, she finally became a maid in charge.
At this time, a new batch of beautiful women entered the palace, among which Zhen Huan's appearance reminded Cui Jinxi of the late Chunyuan Empress. She secretly decided to serve Zhen Huan wholeheartedly. Perhaps this was a kind of sustenance for her unfinished friendship with Empress Chunyuan.
Zhen Huan's fate is like the rising moon, attracting the eyes and favor of the emperor. At the same time, Cui Geun-Xi's life has its ups and downs. Her encounter with Su Peisheng was like a spring breeze blowing over the lake, quietly setting off ripples. Su Peisheng, an eunuch with noble status in the palace, fell in love with her at first sight.
Su Peisheng's feelings were frank and passionate. he expressed his love to Cui Geun Xi several times, but Cui Geun Xi always declined in a gentle way. She knew that her life should not be entangled with the fate of an eunuch. Although Su Peisheng was unwilling, he always respected Cui Geun-Xi's choice and never forced it.
However, the rotation of the wheel of fate is always unexpected. Zhen Huan's affair with the king of Guojun in Ganlu Temple and the news that she was pregnant put Cui Geun-Xi into a dilemma. She knew full well that once the secret was exposed, it would be a great sin.
At this critical juncture, Cui Geun-Xi thought of Su Pei-sheng. She quietly found him in the middle of the night, with a hint of pleading: "Lord Su, I have a request."... "
Su Peisheng looked at her with complicated eyes, "Geun Xi, you say."
Cui Jinxi bit her lip and finally said her request: "Can you arrange for the emperor to go to Ganlu Temple?" Only in this way can Lady Zhen Huan be safe."
Su Peisheng's expression became dignified in an instant. He was silent for a long time and finally nodded and agreed. He knew that this might be the last entanglement with Cui Geun-Xi.
"I will help you." His voice was low and firm, "but you have to remember that this game can be very expensive."
With the help of Su Peisheng, the emperor did go to the Ganlu Temple, and Zhen Huan was able to rescue him. Cui Geun-Xi looked at Su Peisheng gratefully, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that her relationship with Su Peisheng would no longer be a simple emotional entanglement, but would be involved in the complex whirlpool of the court.
As Zhen Huan returned to the palace, her heyday doting made other concubines jealous. Their eyes are like sharp blades, not only staring at Zhen Huan, but also those around her.
Concubine Jing was especially worried. She was always worried that Zhen Huan would pose a threat to her status, and she was even more afraid of losing custody of Long Yue. When she heard about Cui Jinxi's affair with Su Peisheng, she immediately told the emperor the news in an attempt to weaken Zhen Huan's power.
The emperor was furious when he heard this. He felt his authority was being challenged. In his anger, he ordered Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng to be locked up in the Department of Careful Punishment. The Punishment Department was the harshest prison in the palace. The punishment inside was extremely cruel, and few people could walk out unscathed.
Cui Geun-Xi and Su Peisheng suffered unspeakable torture in the Department of careful punishment. Every day, every night, is like a year. However, in this abyss of despair, Cui Geun-Xi's heart gradually strengthened.
At the same time, Zhen Huan was determined to rescue them when she heard the news. Pregnant, she ran desperately and finally asked for forgiveness for Cui Geun-Xi and Su Pei-sheng in front of the emperor.
When Cui Geun-Xi walked out of the careful punishment department, she was no longer the weak little servant girl. Her eyes twinkled with firmness and determination, and she swore secretly that she must become stronger in order to survive in the undercurrent of the court. For those who have hurt her, she will remember every pain and wait for revenge.
When Cui Geun-Xi and Su Peisheng walked out of the shadow of the careful punishment department, the storm in the palace did not subside. Just as they stepped out of the prison door, the concubine happened to pass by. There was sarcasm in her eyes and sarcasm in her mouth.
Cui Geun-Xi is no longer that submissive little servant girl, she coldly replied with sharp words, let Qi concubine lose face in front of the public. This scene became the beginning of Cui Geun-Xi's turnaround.
For the snitch Jing Fei, she was originally a timid and kind person, but in Cui Geun-Xi's view, her kindness is nothing but a cover for cowardice. After the news released by Cui Geun-Xi, Jing Fei was frightened and tried to make up with Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan was as cold as ice to her. When Cui Geun-Xi met Jing Fei, she looked straight at her with angry eyes, making her nervous. For Cui Geun-Xi, it was a kind of psychological punishment for Jingfei.
The queen, as the man behind the detention of Cui Geun-Xi, her behavior aroused Cui Geun-Xi's deep resentment. Cui Geun-Xi saw an opportunity for revenge in Zhen Huan's miscarriage. She secretly revealed to Zhen Huan that the incident was framed on the queen, and pointed out that even if the queen was grounded, she could turn around at any time.
Zhen Huan, an intelligent woman, finally revealed the truth about the death of the Empress of Chunyuan with the advice of Cui Geun-Xi and the help of Su Peisheng. This series of tricks directly led to the downfall of the queen, and her ending was extremely miserable.
Every step of these complex court struggles is like an exquisite layout in a chess game. Cui Geun-Xi, an once unknown palace maid, has gradually grown up in this struggle, becoming more and more powerful and shrewd. Behind all this, it is her firm will and hidden grievances that push her to her goal step by step.
