Chapter 195 The Smartest Woman

Because in the original novel, the queen mother is a shrewd and wise woman. Her IQ is higher than all the women in the palace. She sees everything. She is the best performer in the entire palace and the ultimate boss who is most in control.

No matter how fiercely you fight, there is always a pair of eyes staring at you. Every woman will think that she will be the only winner in the harem, but she doesn't know it.

Men fight in front, while women stab in the back.

In fact, no one knows that the real winner is not someone else, but the queen mother,

and she is the only mistress in this palace.

In Yan Huan's opinion, the most exciting thing in the whole play is not the concubine, but the queen mother. When she read the script, she found that the author actually wrote the first part of the fight for the throne as a big hit, and the focus of the latter part was to describe the queen mother. The queen mother's every word and action were written very delicately and brilliantly.

The queen mother is the character throughout the whole play. No matter what concubine it is, no character can see her face, there is more than the queen mother, but they don't count.

So, this is why she chose to play the role of the queen mother instead of a concubine.

Of course, Yuan Guang may not understand it now, and Director Zheng may not understand it either. Everyone may not understand it, but as long as Yan Huan understands it in her heart, it's fine.

She sat in the makeup chair again, waiting for the makeup artist to help her make up. Compared with the makeup of the concubines, the queen mother's makeup is much simpler and does not need to be so delicate. It should be easy to make an old person look younger, but it is really a test of the makeup artist's level to make a young person look older.

The makeup artist added a few wrinkles on her face and darkened her skin color. The clothes in the Qing Palace were all buttoned tightly, so only the face was important, and the neck didn't matter.

She looked at herself in the mirror and was not afraid of her old self.

You have to grow old gracefully. Growing old is the eternal destiny of mankind.

No one is born, and no one is old.

She naturally admired her old age, and at this time, her eyes were also stained with a little vicissitudes.

Although she didn't live too long in her last life, she still aged.

And this scene was shot for the queen mother.

The queen mother played by Yan Huan leaned against a couch covered with Persian carpets. The nails on her fingers made her fingers look longer and more beautiful, but she was old.

"Is the emperor going to choose a concubine again?"

The queen mother said to Nanny Hua behind her.

"That's right, old Buddha, this time there will be another selection. His Majesty hasn't filled the harem for several years."

Yes, the queen mother put down the cup in her hand, and under the reflection of the candlestick on the side, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes gave rise to a line that almost encompassed her life.

"When I first entered the palace, I was this old, but time waits for no one, and beauty has aged in the blink of an eye."

"I am old now," she touched her face. Although it was still smooth, it had been so many years, and she already had grandchildren. How could she not be old? The throne of the emperor was not easy to come by, and it was better to have more children for the Qing imperial palace.

"Don't say that, madam. You are still young," Nanny Hua gently lowered the shoulders of the empress dowager from time to time.
