"Queen Yixiu" played by Cai Shaofen. Judging from historical data, Emperor Yongzheng and the queen of filial piety can only be regarded as respecting each other as friends, and they did not like the queen of filial piety very much.

First of all, from the background of birth, , the queen of filial piety was born in the Ulanala clan, a native of Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria, and his father was the Minister of Internal Affairs Fei Yanggu. In the 30th year of Kangxi (approximately ten years old), she was bestowed as his wife, Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor (because Yongzheng did not have a knighthood at that time).
