In the middle of the picture is the Queen Wanrong
In 1948, Puyi , who lived in prison in the Baili Shelter, heard the name "Wanrong" again.
"His queen... No, Guobuluo Wanrong passed away two years ago."
Puyi couldn't help but think of the anger and shame when he learned that Wanrong was having an affair with the guards in the autumn of 1935 . How did he tell Wanrong's teacher at that time?
"When it comes to unfortunate times, it is better to shirk it in advance."
Yes, at that moment, he has already decided to abolish the queen.
He put the "lost" queen into the cold palace and left her to fend for herself. Even when he fled later, he never thought of taking her with him.
He must have hated this queen who challenged his "monarchy's authority". Now he learned that she died in a tragic state, and her body was thrown into the stinky ditch.
He didn't have much fun, instead he felt a little bit of pain.
The teenage husband and wife eventually became grudges, and at this point, even he himself does not know who to blame.
Sometimes Puyi can't help but think that he is a truly selfish and indifferent person. The decline of the Qing Dynasty "forced" him to move forward blindly and wrongly, and he lived a humiliating and ridiculous life. So he only loves himself and loves himself the most.
As for his wife Wanrong, he prefers to see her as an "accessory" with his own label.
But he had long forgotten that before becoming his queen, Guobu Luo Wanrong was the most outstanding noble lady in the entire capital of that year.
Wanrong
At the beginning of the tenth year of the Republic of China,Puyi had just passed his fifteenth birthday, and the concubines and ministers in the palace were busy setting up the empress for him.
It took two years from marriage proposal to engagement. After several ups and downs, Puyi's marriage still could not be settled.
Puyi has no expectation of marrying a wife at all, so his attitude is quite perfunctory. But it is also clear that his attitude cannot affect the overall post-election situation at all.
So when the Toffee put the photo in front of him, he seemed particularly disinterested. Hastily flipped through the four photos.
In his opinion, the women in the photos all look the same. He was wearing fat clothes that looked like "buckets" made of paper.
Everyone's faces are also photographed so small that they can't see their facial features at all, let alone distinguish between beauty and ugliness. At that time, Pu Yi never thought that he would be with the so-called queen for a lifetime.
It's just because of pressure that he had to circle a girl who looked relatively pleasing to the eye from a few photos.
Wanrong
"Her name is Wenxiu, she is three years younger than the emperor. Her family is not very good, and she is not beautiful..."
Listening to Duankang's voice , Puyi still doesn't understand. He simply asked her directly: "Then which one do you think is better?"
"This, the Guo Buluo family is Gege, Wanrong. She is of noble birth and beautiful, and she is the same age as the emperor."
Puyi took the very picture. It's hard to identify beautiful and ugly photos, and I can't help feeling ironic in my heart. Since there is already a candidate, why let him choose.
There was no smile on his face, and he said hello in a rather casual tone: "That's her."
Puyi never thought about it, his casual finger,It is a woman's life that cannot be changed.
On December 1, the 11th year of the Republic of China, Emperor Puyi of Xuantong held a wedding ceremony.
In the capital city where the wind and rain are shaky and starving. The royal family collected funds and held an extravagant royal wedding.
Under the guards and respectful guards of a large number of military police in the Republic of China, the guards of honor in the Qing Dynasty were "showing off their power" on the streets of Beijing.
The then President Li Yuanhong wrote on the red post "The President of the Republic of China Li Yuanhong presented eight gifts to the Emperor Xuantong", total: four enamelware, two kinds of silk and satin, one account, and one pair ...
Wanrong
Former President Xu Shichang also sent 20,000 yuan and many valuable gifts. In addition, Zhang Zuolin , Wu Peifu , Cao Kun and other warlords and officials also sent congratulatory gifts.
What's more, a large number of foreign guests came to watch the ceremony...
The lively scene of the congratulatory guests made those princes, ministers and bereaved elders of the Qing Dynasty excited, mistakenly thinking that they had returned to the "big" Qing Empire".
They deceive themselves more and more, immersed in the false "prosperity". Puyi, the "puppet" emperor, was increasingly regarded as the last "life-saving straw" of the feudal dynasty.
The sixteen-year-old Wanrong was also forced to become the queen of the "mother world", and together with Puyi, she took on the Qing Dynasty, which was already "on the verge of death" and "in jeopardy".
Wanrong, dressed in a cumbersome and solemn wedding dress, is waiting for her never-before-seen emperor husband in Chengqian Palace .
can wait until the end, but there is only a silent humiliation of "staying alone".
All the girls' longings for marriage and love are "born" on this night, and also "die" on this night.
After many years, Wanrong realized that this grand royal wedding ruined her life.
Wanrong and Puyi
Puyi didn't like Wanrong, at least at the beginning, he didn't want a woman he didn't know and didn't know about each other's character and hobbies as his wife.
He also knew that Wanrong knew his thoughts and attitudes. After all, he "accused" his dissatisfaction in such a humiliating way on the wedding night.
Pu Yi thought that their so-called "most honorable" couple would live on like "ice" with respect for each other.
But I didn't expect Wanrong to be so different, different from the Grids Puyi had seen.
Wanrong is not as rigid and boring as he imagined. She doesn't stick to dogma and keeps those etiquette rules on her tongue all day long.
will not frown all day long, revealing the kind of resentment "engraved" on the faces of the old concubines in the palace for many years.
She loves to laugh, play, and try all kinds of new things. What surprised Puyi even more was that she also spoke fluent English.
The appearance of Wanrong is like a bright color on the "painting" of Forbidden City , which is dull and monotonous all year round! Puyi couldn't help but be attracted to her.
Wanrong
"I know that the emperor does not want to be a traditional couple with me,Why don't we just be a modern couple? "
Puyi looked at the bright and beautiful woman who smiled brightly in front of him, and there was a throbbing in his heart. The good feelings of young people always came very "suddenly", even Puyi, the so-called "king", could not Avoid the most youthful "spring heart sprouts" for men and women.
He started to get used to it, it should even be said that he likes being with Wanrong!
They eat western food together and speak English together...
Even communicate with each other, Wanrong Also always likes to use English. She calls him Henry and he calls her Elizabeth.
Wanrong in Japan
Puyi has a wolf dog and Wanrong has a pug. Love dogs The two of them get together from time to time to share their "dog-raising experience", and even the account book has a detailed record of the two people's dog-raising medication records.
They are so like-minded and talk about everything. Like A pair of "little couples" who first got married and then fell in love, gradually got to know each other, became familiar with each other, and then fell in love with each other.
For a while, Puyi fell in love with bicycles.
After he learned it, he went to the palace every day. After a few laps in the city, I made Wanrong very "greedy" and wanted a bicycle.
Puyi quickly made people buy several bicycles at a high price. Looking at the brand-new bicycle, Wanrong was very happy and couldn't wait. With the help of Puyi and the people in the palace, she sat on the bicycle.
Wanrong
She was smart and quickly grasped the essentials. It didn't take much time for her to ride independently.
Looking at Wan Rong who was sitting on the bicycle with a bright smile on her face, Pu Yi felt the same joy, it seems that after having her, the boring life in the past has added a lot of fun.
For a moment, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had made the decision to make Wanrong the queen. With her, this lonely and helpless emperor's road is finally no longer for him to walk alone.
The ending of the last emperor is not difficult to imagine, but he wants to pull her into the "vortex" willfully. Puyi felt like a patient suffering from an incurable disease, and regarded Wanrong as a "medicine", eager to use her to heal himself.
As everyone knows, Puyi's fate has long been "bound" with the Qing Dynasty, and their ultimate fate can only be ruthlessly "crushed" by the wheel of history.
Wanrong can't save him, nor can she save herself.
Wanrong
"I don't know what love is. In my opinion, the relationship between husband and wife is the relationship between master and servant. Wife and concubines are all servants and tools of the king."
Yes, in Puyi In his heart, he certainly admired Wanrong's uniqueness and was infatuated with Wanrong's temperament. But she didn't really see her as an equal lover.
He doesn't understand, or even disdains to condescend to love a woman.
Although Puyi didn't have the power and status that a feudal emperor should have, he funnyly possessed the "unfeeling" of an emperor.
In other words, he always loved only himself. So he watched Wanrong's loneliness and struggle in the deep palace with a cold eye.
"The queen and the master have been in a bad mood recently, and people don't like to laugh anymore."
The eunuchs and maids of the Forbidden City have been gathering together from time to time to discuss privately.
Wan Rong
Wan Rong can keenly perceive those around or sympathy,or fearful sight.
She felt amused in her heart. It turned out that when the so-called "harmony between emperors and queens" was lifted, her marriage fell into the eyes of outsiders. It was so pathetic and pitiful.
The emperor seldom comes to her Chuxiu Palace , even if he does, he only talks and chats during the day, and rarely stays at night to rest.
When she first started, she was too shy to ask why because she was young. Now I don't dare to ask, after all, no man can face his "hidden disease".
Puyi knew Wanrong's grievances and concessions, but his physical "illness" made his temperament "gloomy".
So every time he faced her, all Puyi's guilt, shame and embarrassment turned into coldness.
Wanrong
Puyi's indifference, bit by bit, "eaten" Wanrong's passion and love for him.
Looking at Wan Rong, who was getting increasingly depressed, Pu Yi couldn't help but think of the concubines he saw in the palace. They will be young next year, but the days in the deep palace have already become lifeless. old woman.
He never thought that Wanrong would become like that.
In October 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched the "Beijing Coup".
Puyi and his empress Wanrong, Concubine Shu Wenxiu were "expelled" from the Forbidden City.
Leaving the palace, no longer a high-ranking emperor, Puyi felt at a loss. He found that Wanrong was very happy, just like a dead tree in spring, radiating vigor and vitality again.
She cut her hair short, permed her head, put on a fashionable dress, and had delicate makeup on her face... All of a sudden, from the Queen of the Qing Palace,became a modern beauty.
Wan Rong
Puyi couldn't help but be attracted by Wan Rong's bright, unmistakable vigor again. He felt that there was a long-suppressed "rebellion" deep in his heart, he didn't dare to do it, but Wanrong did.
The emotions he had accumulated over the years seemed to have a sudden outlet, and he began to attend various balls and banquets with Wanrong.
He can deceive himself for a short while when he is feasting and intoxicated. He is not the last emperor Puyi, but Henry.
But after the carnival, what is ushered in is only a more "big" emptiness. Puyi is like this, so is Wanrong.
"Elizabeth's pretty face attracts foreigners, but her eyes are also full of laziness and loneliness."
Puyi knows where her loneliness comes from, except that he is physically unable to satisfy her. He also couldn't guarantee the monogamy that Wanrong wanted.
Wanrong
Puyi complained that Wanrong did not have the magnanimity of the queen, but he forgot that he wanted the so-called "modern marriage".
He does all the feudal things in the name of modernity. Like a ridiculous joke!
On August 25, 1931, Pu Yi, who still believed in "the authority of the monarch", was caught off guard by his concubine.
Concubine Shu Wenxiu left a letter stating that she wanted to divorce Puyi.
Pu Yi felt as if he had been slapped in the face with a few strong "slaps". His face was hot, and there was an indescribable shame.
He did not want Wenxiu to leave, making himself the first emperor ever to be "resigned".But it was already the Republic of China at that time, and he had long lost his role as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Wanrong and Puyi
The final result is to let Wenxiu go.
Puyi felt embarrassed and was unwilling to admit his failure, so he could only blame Wanrong's "jealousy" and "unvirtuousness".
He alienated her, snubbed her, even scolded her, humiliated her. Puyi didn't feel that his actions were shameful at all, he only knew that his resentment needed to be resolved urgently, and that there was one person who needed to bear his anger.
He didn't think about whether this was unfair to Wanrong, but only knew that when he left indifferently again, Wanrong's always bright and smiling eyes dimmed like dead ashes.
He vaguely realized that something important had been abandoned by him and could never be found.
Wanrong
Puyi can only pin his desire on restoring the monarchy again, eager to use power to wash away the shame he has endured.
As for Wanrong, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen her. I heard that she was infected with opium, and she became seriously ill.
He didn't want to meet Wanrong's indifferent eyes, as if he had done something heinous. He deliberately left her somewhere, and deliberately "blocked" all news related to her.
Puyi understood that Wanrong probably hated him, and they finally went a different way as a young couple.
In 1932, under the bewitchment of Japanese agents, Pu Yi fled to Changchun to serve as the emperor of the puppet Manchukuo.
He only has the so-called throne, and as for Wanrong, he has long been thrown out of the sky.
Puyi felt that Wanrong was a little crazy,An opium-smoking woman, she described herself as shriveled, pretending to be a lunatic, and even lost all her teeth. When confronted with him, he was always arguing and cursing hysterically.
Wan Rong and Pu Yi
He had seen the way she loved him in the past, but now there is no love in her eyes anymore. He felt that there was a piece missing in his heart, and he could only "flee in embarrassment".
He made up his mind to let her fend for herself, only to be told that she had an affair with the guards and gave birth to a child.
Puyi can't remember how she rushed to her room frantically and dealt with the guard and the child in the cruelest way.
He wanted to see a trace of guilt on her face, but there was none, only crazy resentment and hot tears.
Puyi realized that the girl who said she wanted to be a modern couple with him would never forgive him again.
Puyi
Their marriage exists in name only.
On June 20, 1946, Puyi couldn't remember what he was doing that day. It was only later that he learned that on such an ordinary day, his wife of twenty-four years passed away.
When Puyi was a child, he always heard people say that Feng Shui in the Forbidden City nourishes people. He is also an accomplice in the deep palace of "cannibalism".
Wanrong is like the fireworks at the highest point in the night sky, and the last prosperity of the Forbidden City.
She had worked so hard, but after all, she had a bad life.
