Whether it is the previous "Huan Zhu Ge Ge " or the recent "The Legend of Zhen Huan ", " Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace " and "Story of Yanxi Palace", people can never tire of watching the story of Qianlong and his concubines. , So is the romantic emperor Qianlong a scumbag or infatuated?

Emperor Qianlong has always been portrayed as a romantic emperor. To say that he visited the south of the Yangtze River six times just to find flowers and flowers is nothing more than a rumor from unofficial historians. These are just arrangements made for him by those who opposed the Manchu government. According to official history records: Emperor Qianlong's harem life was far inferior to that of his grandfather Emperor Kangxi . Emperor Kangxi had sixty-seven concubines and fifty-five children in his lifetime. He had the most concubines and the most children among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. During his lifetime, Emperor Qianlong had forty-one concubines and twenty-seven children.

In fact, many historical data show that Emperor Qianlong was not only not romantic, but also a very dedicated emperor. This can be easily seen from the fact that he has exclusively doted on his concubine for nineteen years. Because your concubine was kind-hearted and beautiful, she was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong. Soon she was made a noble, a few months later she was promoted to a concubine, and three years later she was promoted to a concubine. The speed of promotion was the fastest. Not only that, your concubine is also the one who has the most children among all the concubines of Emperor Qianlong. She gave birth to four princes, two princesses, for Emperor Qianlong. She was already 40 years old when she gave birth to her youngest son. It can be seen that Emperor Qianlong was not a womanizer.

When Emperor Qianlong's first empress Empress Xiaoxian Fucha died of illness, Emperor Qianlong caused quite a stir inside and outside the court. He ordered people to place the coffin of Queen Xiaoxian directly in the Changchun Palace, his former residence, and mourned for twelve days. He also went to the Queen's funeral every day to offer wine. Emperor Qianlong also set aside the provisions of the "Qing Huidian" and quoted the empress' funeral rituals contained in the previous dynasty's "Da Ming Huidian", ordering all subjects in the world to mourn the death of the empress. At the same time, he also ordered that no one should live in the Changchun Palace anymore, and that it should still be furnished as if Empress Xiaoxian lived there during her lifetime. And put her clothes inside. Qianlong also personally gave the posthumous title of Queen Daxing to Xiaoxian, which was unprecedented in history.

Then, Emperor Qianlong discovered that when the queen's canonization document was translated into Manchu, the emperor's concubine was mistakenly translated as the former queen mother. In anger, he actually accused the Minister of Punishment, who was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, of being disrespectful. It can be seen that Emperor Qianlong's love for Queen Xiaoxian was unparalleled. It is said that Emperor Qianlong doted on his concubine because of his filial piety and virtuousness, which made Emperor Qianlong feel the shadow of Empress Xiaoxian.

So, Emperor Qianlong was not a lustful person, nor was he an ordinary dedicated person.
