Puyi was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, known as the last emperor. According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty at that time, the emperor had to fill the harem every three years and hold a talent show. These show girls must be the daughters of the nobles of the dynasty. At that time, Puyi already had a loved one and wanted Wenxiu to be his queen, but Wenxiu's identity was not enough to match the position of queen. Puyi had to marry another noble daughter to be the queen. Puyi had no choice. Among the four photos of queen candidates, a beautiful girl was pointed out. This beautiful girl was Wanrong . In this way, the 16-year-old Wanrong left Rongzhai, went to the Forbidden City , married the 17-year-old Puyi, and became the last queen of the Qing Dynasty. Puyi already has his heart set on something, and this marriage is destined to not be peaceful.
On the wedding day, when the bridal chamber was lit up with candles, Puyi just went to the bridal chamber to sit for a while as usual, told Wanrong very ruthlessly that he could not sleep with her, and then left. Wanrong was extremely aggrieved. She didn't know what she had done wrong. She thought it was because Puyi had a concubine he liked that he didn't consummate her marriage. How could Wanrong know that there was a deeper reason? What was it? Kidney beans are here to let you know , like and follow , we will reveal it to you immediately!
Seeing this, I believe most people will think that Wanrong is a woman under the ethics of ancient feudal society, conservative, rigid and ignorant. In fact, Wanrong is not an ordinary woman. Wanrong has a very liberal father, advocates equality between men and women , so Wanrong has received a good education since she was a child. In addition to studying history and traditional culture, Wanrong also studied music and painting. Her father also specially found a teacher from the United States to teach her English. Wanrong is also very competitive, smart and studious. At a young age, he could draw well, play the piano, and speak fluent English. He became famous in the aristocratic circle. Everyone knew that the Minister of the Interior had a beautiful daughter in his family who was talented and well-versed in Chinese and Western studies.
Wanrong has accepted two cultures since she was a child. Her thoughts have both an enlightened side and a feudal side. This separation is fully demonstrated in Wanrong's character.
After marriage, the two people, one was the emperor and the other was the queen, naturally looked up without looking down. In addition, the two were similar in age and had many topics in common. Gradually, Puyi was attracted by Wanrong's talent and fell in love with her. A professional English teacher was hired to continue learning English in the palace. While Wanrong was learning English by herself, she also taught Puyi English personally. The distance between the two gradually narrowed and they developed feelings for each other. Records show that many of the letters written between Puyi and Wanrong were written directly in English, which shows that the two were indeed in love for a period of time.
But can the emperor really fall in love with someone? Don't forget, Puyi also has Bai Yueguang Wenxiu waiting in front! However, Wanrong is open-minded and careless, and never gets jealous with Wenxiu. Even the relationship between the two women is like that of real sisters. Even if they live under the same roof, they will still write letters to each other every day to convey jokes. They also get along very harmoniously, eating together, playing tennis together... Gradually, wherever the three of them go and do most of the time, they are inseparable, talking and laughing.
The leisurely life of Wenxiu and Wanrong
did not last long, and changes always came unexpectedly. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched a revolution in Peiping and used force to coerce Puyi, and Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City. In desperation, Puyi could only bring his family to Tianjin and live in the concession.
Soon after arriving in Tianjin, Puyi got closer to Wanrong because of their common hobbies and similar personalities, and gradually ignored Wenxiu. Gradually, Wenxiu, who could not bear the huge gap, openly filed for divorce from Puyi , which became a historical fact. The first woman to file for divorce from the emperor and win the lawsuit.Not only that, Wenxiu also disclosed an incredible secret - Puyi is a person who is not allowed to do anything! At this time, no one in the country knew that Puyi was incompetent, and Puyi suddenly became the laughing stock of the whole country!
Stills from the movie "The Last Emperor"
It turns out that as early as a child, Puyi was instigated by eunuchs to "play" with palace maids. As a result, Puyi indulged in excessive sexual activities at a young age, causing physical disorders. Only then did Wanrong realize that it was not her fault on the wedding night, but his fault! However, Wanrong, who values 's friendship, did not leave here, but planned to continue to accompany Puyi. However, Puyi was not only not moved by Wanrong's persistence, but instead vented his embarrassment and anger on Wanrong. Wenxiu's departure was completely Blaming it on her jealousy, from then on, his attitude towards her took a turn for the worse.
Wanrong became disheartened and no longer had hope for Puyi. Coupled with the double psychological and physical depression for many years, Wanrong began to smoke heavily, immersed in the smoke every day, and indulged in small collapses. That side of the world. At this time, whether it was sympathy, love or long-term planning, Puyi's personal bodyguard Li Tingyue began to walk into Wanrong's life, greeting her with warm words, sweet words, and comfort.
Perhaps out of revenge or moved, Wanrong began to respond to Li Tingyue. Gradually, Wanrong fell in love with Li Tingyue, and the two often had secret trysts when Puyi was away. They had a great time shopping in disguise, drinking tea and watching theater, and riding horses in the lake. When the love is strong, the joy of fish and water will naturally come true. But as Wanrong's love grew, Li Tingyue became less and less courageous. Now he knew that his boss's woman could not be provoked at will, so he began to gradually withdraw from the relationship and stay away from Wanrong.
Facing Li Tingyue's transformation, Wanrong seemed to have seen another Puyi, and had no intention of keeping him. The time she spent immersed in the illusory and misty gray smoke became longer and longer.
The one on the right is Qi Jizhong
After the September 18th Incident, with the support of the Japanese, Puyi established the Puppet Manchukuo in the Northeast and once again ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Although he was just a puppet emperor, he never stopped having various social activities, and his living conditions were many times better than when he was in Tianjin. Puyi had no intention of paying attention to Wanrong's situation. This time, Qi Jizhong appeared.
Qi Jizhong is another bodyguard of Pu Yi, who also works part-time as a driver. Wanrong and Qi Jizhong don’t know when they fell in love. In short, Wanrong also took the bait after Qi Jizhong took the initiative to hook her up. After all, once something like cheating is done, the psychological feeling of betrayal will be greatly reduced. But this time, Wanrong is pregnant.
After Puyi found out that Wanrong was pregnant, he was furious. At that time, it was already known to everyone that Puyi would not give birth. How could his queen be pregnant? This was an unknown announcement to the world that Emperor Puyi wore a big hat on his head. cuckold. In order to save the face of the royal family, Puyi could only take big things and make them trivial. He first took out 500 oceans as hush money, sent the two guards out of the palace, and threatened their lives to keep them silent. Then he abolished Wanrong's position as queen and threw her into the cold palace. From then on, Wanrong never returned. Never appeared in public.
In the winter of the same year, Wanrong gave birth and was found guilty of adultery. Puyi was walking around not far away with his hands behind his back. Of course, this could not be because Puyi was worried about Wanrong's life, but because he was waiting for the birth of shame. He must personally deal with this symbol of uncleanness! With a baby's cry, Wanrong successfully gave birth to a baby girl.
Not long after the midwife received the newborn baby, Puyi, who was deeply humiliated, rushed forward and snatched the baby away without saying a word, and threw him directly into the furnace next to him. The poor child was killed before he could even open his eyes. Burned to death. Wanrong witnessed this scene with her own eyes, but was unable to stop it. She was so distraught that she immediately lost her mind and became a madman.
In 1945, the Soviet Union sent troops to the Northeast and wiped out the arrogant Kwantung Army in one fell swoop. After the puppet Manchuria regime was completely overthrown, Puyi resolutely chose to abandon Wanrong and flee alone. As a result, Wanrong, who was alone, was taken to Dunhua Prison by the Eighth Route Army. A month later, Wanrong was moved to Yanji Prison. Since there was no relative to bail her out, Wanrong had been imprisoned in Yanji Prison. At this time, Wanrong was already haggard, with disheveled hair, and was no different from a female ghost. Soon she died of illness in prison.
Wanrong's life is full of tragedy. From an innocent noble girl to the embarrassed last queen, Wanrong has been hurt all the time. If Wanrong was just a talentless and decadent feudal woman who stuck to her husband all her life and became an ignorant appendage, she would not have ended up in such a miserable end; if Wanrong had not been infected by feudal culture, she would have been a completely new person. For women of this era, it will definitely be another splendid life.
However, Wanrong is somewhere in between, not decadent enough, not new enough. Her talents and skills can only be buried in a small harem, and her resistance to reality can only remain in two passive derailments and the smoke that lingers all day long. middle.
was sent to the palace by his enlightened father, and was thrown into the cold palace by the last emperor Puyi. The endings of Puyi and Wanrong have something to do with the times they lived in at that time. sees you here, what do you think about this? Welcome to discuss with string beans in the comment area!
