"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a particularly popular palace battle drama in my country. What the editor feels most distressed about here is An Linglong. Her life can't be better described as sad and deplorable. She begged the emperor to favor her, but she was given the title of Concubine Oriole when she was pregnant. This is so pathetic.
You may not know that oriole was insulting in ancient times. This title was extremely insulting. An Linglong felt cold after receiving this title, but what could she do? All she could do was to happily accept the emperor's orders. It stands to reason that the emperor, a person who particularly loves poetry and is proficient in literature, must know the meaning of this word, so it stands to reason that it is impossible for him to give An Linglong such a Title, after all, the title of a concubine represents the person. The word "Oriole" has nothing to do with beautiful qualities. So why did the emperor agree to give An Lingrong this insulting title?
The editor has a few weak thoughts here. The first editor thinks that the emperor looked down on An Linglong from the bottom of his heart. This word is actually the emperor’s biggest impression of her. Yongzheng in history was a very talented person. For a person with literary talents, he would not be unclear about the meaning of this word, so the title he gave An Lingrong was definitely what he thought in his heart. The previous titles given to An Linglong were Wen, Li, etc., which all symbolized Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the words that are particularly beautiful words. As for Li, An Linglong cannot bear this title. The word "Li" has a particularly beautiful meaning. In ancient times, the only person who could be matched with this word was the Queen, and An Linglong was just the Emperor. How can a plaything for fun be worthy of this word? But the word "oriole" is too ironic.
However, there is another theory that the emperor was planning to give the word "Li" to An Linglong at that time, but Zhen Huan felt that An Linglong could not hold the title for this name, so she said that "Li" has the same pronunciation, so why not use this word? Where's the name? At that time, the emperor still had some affection for An Lingrong. In the emperor's heart, An Linglong was like a crisp and moving lark. When Zhen Huan mentioned this word, Su Peisheng next to her cooperated, so the emperor waved his hand, An Linglong The title became the word "鹂".
It is tragic to say that An Linglong has never entered the heart of the emperor. The emperor himself is not a lustful person. What he feels about An Linglong is that he has a nice voice. As for the other emperors, I didn’t think about it too much. The emperor actually liked women like Empress Chunyuan and Zhen Huan who were talented, noble, gentle, and proficient in poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting. Because he is also a talented man, he subconsciously wants to find someone who can match him.
The emperor didn't care about An Lingrong at all. The word "Oriole" actually matched An Linglong, because to the emperor, An Linglong was just a plaything that could come and go quickly, so When Zhen Huan proposed this title, although the emperor noticed that there was something wrong with the title, he still gave it to An Lingrong. On the one hand, he wanted to make Zhen Huan happy, but on the other hand, he also felt that An Linglong was just a plaything and not worthy of his wife. It was natural that An Linglong had struggled to get a good title, but it ended in failure.
There are thousands of concubines in the emperor’s harem all vying for his favor. It’s just a title. The emperor doesn’t care about that much. The title he gave An Linglong was actually a gift to her in his heart. Well deserved too.
