[Do you know that Princess Pingning's words were sarcastic on the surface, but she protected Ming Lan? Why did she do this?]

In the TV series, Princess Pingning was the daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang. Her father was the Marquis of Xiangyang. As her father was the Emperor's confidant, Princess Pingning often entered the palace when she was a child. Later, the Empress took her as her adopted daughter, so Princess Pingning called the Empress her mother. Princess Pingning had a noble status. Although she was not the Emperor's biological daughter, she was raised in the palace since she was young and grew up with the Empress.

I can't provide any information about the novel 'Know Not', because the copyright belongs to Warner Bros. Entertainment and is currently unavailable in China. But from what I know, the Sheng girl with the best taste in men in the novel isn't Ming Lan but her cousin Yan Zisu. Yan Zisu was born into a prestigious family. She had a gentle and kind personality and was good at cooking. In the novel, she was deeply loved by the male lead, Qi Heng.

There were many possible reasons why Gu Tingye liked Ming Lan. Ming Lan was smart, witty, and kind. She was the person in power in the family who could provide strong support and help to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye and Ming Lan had similar life experiences and values. They had similar views on life, pursuing the glory and prosperity of the family, and also caring about the health and happiness of the family members. Gu Tingye and Ming Lan had a deep relationship. They understood each other, trusted each other, supported each other, and had an inseparable relationship. Gu Tingye's family background was similar to Ming Lan's. Gu Tingye's parents and Ming Lan's parents had a deep friendship and trust, which made Gu Tingye and Ming Lan have similar experiences and feelings in terms of family background. It should be noted that the above are just some possible explanations. In fact, the reasons why Gu Tingye likes Ming Lan may be multi-sided. It needs to be further analyzed according to the plot and background of the novel.

Ming Lan's voice was Zhao Liying.

In " Do You Know ", the eldest daughter of the Liang family and Mo Lan were both concubines, but the eldest daughter of the Liang family had different attitudes towards Ming Lan mainly because the eldest daughter of the Liang family had an old relationship with Ming Lan's mother, while Mo Lan's mother was the love rival of the eldest daughter of the Liang family. In addition, the Liang family's eldest daughter also had some personality characteristics and behavior that made Ming Lan have a different view of her.

My answer may not be accurate enough. The original title of " Know No " was " Biography of Shu Daughter Ming Lan " but recently, it seemed to be shortened to " Know No ". As for why " Do You Know " changed to Li Qingzhao's lyrics, I understand that it may be related to the plot and character setting of the novel. " Do You Know " was an ancient romance novel set in the Ming Dynasty. It mainly described the growth experience and marriage path of a concubine's daughter, Ming Lan, in the government. Li Qingzhao's Ci was regarded as a classic in ancient literature because of its beautiful language and profound ideology. Therefore, the use of Li Qingzhao's Ci in the novel may also be to enhance the literary appeal of the novel.

In the original novel of " Do You Know?", Ming Lan's act of " harming people " was to protect her family and grandmother. Although Old Lady Sheng was dissatisfied with Ming Lan's actions, she eventually agreed with her. Old Lady Sheng thought that Ming Lan's behavior was in line with family ethics and moral norms. She knew the complexity and instability of human nature. She knew that some people would do things that were not beneficial to others because of greed and selfishness. In order to protect her family, Ming Lan did not hesitate to take the risk of violating morality to stop those who might hurt them. This kind of behavior was recognized by the family and society. Besides, Old Lady Sheng also knew that Ming Lan was a smart and intelligent girl. Her actions were not only for herself and her family, but also for the long-term interests of the entire family. If she had not taken such action, the family might have suffered even more losses and destruction. Therefore, she finally approved of Ming Lan's approach and supported her actions.

Dan Ju did not betray Ming Lan. In the original novel," Should I Be Green, Fat, Red, Skinny ", Dan Ju and Ming Lan were good friends, but at some point, Dan Ju betrayed Ming Lan in order to protect his beloved Yan Zisu. For example, she had helped Yan Zisu conceal her identity and helped him gain the family's attention. These things made Ming Lan feel disappointed, but in the end, Dan Ju was betrayed by Yan Zisu and was framed by him and imprisoned.

In the novel, Dan Ju and Ming Lan were good friends and companions, but Dan Ju's mother and Ming Lan's mother were sisters. Due to some complicated family relations, Dan Ju's mother began to be dissatisfied with Ming Lan and tried to sow discord, resulting in a tense relationship between Dan Ju and Ming Lan. In the novel, Dan Ju tried to resolve the crisis many times, but Ming Lan kept backing down and didn't stand firmly on Dan Ju's side. In the end, Dan Ju's mother successfully expelled Ming Lan from the family. Because of this, Dan Ju was dissatisfied and decided to betray Ming Lan. However, Dan Ju's betrayal did not change their relationship. Ming Lan was still grateful for Dan Ju's help and continued to keep in touch with her.

" Know or Not " was a novel about women's status and marriage. Ming Lan's choice of Gu Tingye was considered a classic marriage choice. Gu Tingye was a smart, powerful, and responsible man. He had an important position in the family and could help Ming Lan gain more status and respect in the family. In addition, Gu Tingye's care and love for Ming Lan also made her feel warm and at ease. In contrast, although Qi Heng was also an outstanding man, his character and values did not match Ming Lan. Qi Heng was too traditional and conservative, lacking Gu Tingye's confidence and sense of responsibility. Therefore, Ming Lan's choice of Gu Tingye reflected her pursuit of marriage values and her recognition and respect for better men.
