The Golden Branch of Desire

Answer 1

The background of " Golden Branch Desire " was the harem in the 15th year of Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the people in the court were peaceful. The Empress of the palace was the head of the six palaces, and the most favored was Rufei. It was the time for the triennial show to enter the palace. Yuying was beautiful and came from a noble family, so she became the target of the same show. Er Chun was the adopted daughter of Xu Wantian, the eunuch in charge of internal affairs. Xu Wantian had been involved in corruption with He Shen. When Jiaqing killed He Shen, he was afraid of being implicated, so he wanted to use beauty to save his life, so he adopted beautiful young girls and trained them together. Because there were many gangs in the six palaces, he could only act in secret. The palace maid An Qian was about to turn twenty-five years old. She wanted to leave the palace and reunite with her grandmother when she reached the age of twenty-five. She witnessed Ru Fei's bullying and scolding of Yu Ying. Imperial Physician Sun Baiyang and his father, Sun Qinghua, who worked in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, had a falling out due to a misunderstanding. He was humorous and considerate, and he handled things carefully and skillfully in the harem.

Yuying seemed innocent and had the temper of a young lady, but in fact, she was a tiger pretending to be a pig. She was vicious and shrewd. She fought for favor so that her mother could have a good life at home. Er Chun was an expert in palace politics who had been carefully nurtured. She seemed gentle and graceful, but she was actually black-bellied. The sisters who entered the palace with her were easily eliminated by her. She loved Sun Baiyang deeply but was pregnant with the Emperor's child. Ru Fei was mature, cold, intelligent, and domineering. She appeared ruthless and domineering on the surface, but she was not a vicious person on the inside. She was once an innocent and beautiful girl. After her child was killed by the Empress, she turned black. Although she had experienced the ups and downs of losing favor and was replaced by a new person by the Empress, she had successfully made a comeback with the death of the little Ge Ge. An Qian was experienced, proficient in the survival of the harem and kind-hearted. At first, she always helped the beautiful women and fell in love with the bodyguard Kong Wu. However, after her grandmother was killed by the Empress, she stepped on Yuying to become the noble An for revenge and began to fight in the palace. There was also the Buddhist noble Fuya who had fallen out of favor due to illness. She was one of the chess pieces sent into the palace by the old eunuch. She was also Er Chun's long-lost biological sister. She was once favored. Because she had a crush on Sun Baiyang, she secretly took poison and pretended to be sick for seven years. She gave Er Chun the warmth and guidance of a family member. In the end, she took poison and committed suicide to protect Er Chun.

The characters in the play were fighting for favor, such as An Qian who originally existed as an "aunt" and chose to become the emperor's concubine to fight back against the enemy after her relatives were killed; such as the imperial concubine who had fallen out of favor and used the child's body to complain about the emperor's debt and return to favor. Yuying and Sun Baiyang were eventually buried in the fire. Concubine Ru stayed in the palace to help Kong Wu and An Qian escape. As she had lived in the harem for a long time, she did not dare to leave even if she had the chance to. She could only continue to fight with the Empress.
