Su Malagu was born in a poor nomadic family. She is just a maid next to Empress Xiaozhuang . Besides, she doesn't take a bath all year round, and she always smells an unpleasant smell on her body. Why does Kangxi still love her so much? The reason is very surprising.
What is the relationship between Su Malagu and Kangxi?
Su Malagu was born in 1612 in a poor herdsman's home in Korqin . Later, he was spotted by Korqin Beile Mansion and selected him to be an personal maid for Empress Xiaozhuang . Empress Xiaozhuang is one year younger than Su Malagu. Because she is similar in age, the two look more like "personal sisters" and more like "close comrades-in-arms", rather than just a master-servant relationship.
When she was 13 years old, Empress Xiaozhuang, under the escort of her brother, went to Beijing to marry Huang Taiji . Su Malagu naturally followed her to Beijing as a dowry. After entering Beijing, Su Malagu, as a personal maid, not only managed the affairs in an orderly manner, but also accompanied Queen Xiaozhuang to learn Manchu and the palace rules.
After a period of hard study, Su Malagu is proficient in Manchu and can also write beautiful words. This not only improves his overall cultural literacy, but also has a good understanding of the rules of dealing with people in the palace. It is precisely because of this that Su Malagu, the personal maid of Empress Xiaozhuang, has the opportunity to contact Kangxi.
So, what is the relationship between Su Malagu and Kangxi? In 1654, Emperor Kangxi was born. Since the year he was born, Empress Xiaozhuang has appointed: Su Malagu as Kangxi's enlightenment teacher . But the good times did not last long. The second year after Kangxi was born, the smallpox in the palace was raging.
In order to avoid smallpox, Kangxi moved outside the palace. After that, Su Malagu rode his horse every day, going back and forth to Cining Palace and his residence outside the Kangxi Palace, and following the instructions of Empress Xiaozhuang, he educated the young Kangxi . So, where can we see Kangxi’s favor for her?
Where can I see that Kangxi loves her?
Su Malagu has a strange habit, that is, doesn’t take a bath for all year, and only uses a small amount of water to bathe on New Year’s Eve. What’s even more bizarre is that after , she was reluctant to throw away the bath water, but instead drank all of the bath water and drank it all into her stomach.
A person doesn’t take a bath all year, and there will definitely be a odor on his body. Normal people will definitely not be able to tolerate this smell, but Kangxi not only did not dislike her, but also pampered her very much. Where can we tell?
After the death of Empress Xiaozhuang, Su Malagu was very sad. She didn't want to eat or drink all day long. Her body became thinner and thinner, and her spirit became more and more depressed. For the sake of her health, Kangxi "extraordinary" handed over his twelve princes to Su Malagu to raise.
Why do you say "out of the rules"? Because according to the ritual system of Qing Dynasty , only "concubines" are qualified to raise the prince , and the maids are not qualified to raise the prince. Not only that, after her death, Kangxi also built a luxurious tomb for her according to the specifications of "concubines" and held a grand funeral for her.
Life wisdom
In this world, has no hatred for no reason, and no love for no reason . The reason why Kangxi loved Su Malagu so much was because: Su Malagu was his enlightenment teacher. He not only taught him to read and write, but also taught him the rules of dealing with people. This reason was very surprising.
