In some Qing court dramas, you can often see a palace lady and the emperor inadvertently meet and sprout a beautiful love story. Is this possible in history? the answer is negative.
First of all, let’s understand the Qing Dynasty’s system of selecting court ladies.
The selection of palace ladies in the Qing Dynasty began in the 18th year of Shunzhi. The palace ladies mainly came from the Shangsanqi coating of the Internal Affairs Office. The Shangsanqi coating of the Internal Affairs Office is divided into a coating collar and a coating tube collar. The coating tube collar is us The well-known Xinzhe library. However, not all Xinzheku were naturalized due to crimes. Most of them were classified as coating tube collars because of the small number of family members. One coating tube collar is equivalent to half a coating collar.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were many concubines who were born in the dressing tube collar (Xin Zheku). The most famous is the pure empress of Xiaoyi, the birth mother of Emperor Jiaqing, that is, the famous concubine. In addition, there are also concubines from the Kangxi Dynasty. Concubine, Ding Concubine, Concubine Yu and Concubine Qian of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and the Pure Empress of Filial Piety and Concubine of the Qianlong Dynasty. Today I want to talk about the first concubine of the Qing Dynasty from Xinzheku: Liangfei.
At the beginning of the fourteenth year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the House of Internal Affairs held a once-a-year selection of court ladies. Among the newly selected court ladies, three were particularly conspicuous. One was the mighty daughter of Wu Ya clan (Xiao Gongren Queen), one is Wanliuha, the daughter of Toerbi of Zhenghuangqi-coated tube collar, and the last one is Weishi, the daughter of Abu Nai, of Zhenghuangqi-coated tube collar. These three women are all first-class beauties. They were selected by Kangxi among many court ladies and started their respective harem careers.
Of course, today this article mainly talks about Liangfei Weishi. As for the other two, I think everyone also knows. Wuya is very much loved by Kangxi and gave birth to six children. There was a later Emperor Yongzheng. Wanliu Ha's family gave birth to the twelfth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, who had a happy ending because his son Yinzhen did not participate in the seizure of the abdomen. He lived to 97 years old and ranked first among the concubines in the Qing Dynasty.
Liangfei Wei’s great-grandfather was named Hu Zhu. Hu Zhu returned to the court during the Tian Cong reign. Because of the small number of the family, he was included in the Zhenghuang flag coat. Wei’s grandfather Du Leng'e and father Abu Nai are both Serving as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not much different from that of a member of the Defei family.
said that after entering the palace, the court ladies of the Qing dynasty will have certain training and learning. In addition to reading and literacy for one hour a day, they will also practice embroidery, cleaning and other items. Some outstanding and smart women will be assigned to the courts. The theme is waiting around, and those with poorer conditions will do some rough work.
Moreover, palace ladies generally have to stay in the palace and are not allowed to go out without permission. Even those concubines, only when the Emperor summons them, will they come to the Emperor's palace. In other words, the emperor was only served by the eunuch, and he would not visit a certain concubine's palace in person, and the chance of the emperor and a certain palace lady meeting by chance was almost zero.
In summary, Liang Fei Wei must be a beautiful woman with a certain degree of cultural accomplishment, and she will not meet Kangxi by chance. She may have been favored by Kangxi when she was drafted by the court ladies. .
In the 20th year of Kangxi, Wei gave birth to a prince named Yinhu, which is the famous eighth prince. Eighth elder brother Yinhu has been smart since he was a child, and has a very outstanding personality charm. There are always a group of small friends around him, such as Jiu elder brother Yinzhen, ten elder brother Yinhu, and fourteen elder brother Yinhu, etc. The friends regarded Yinxu as the "big brother", and thus formed a small group, the Eighth Party.
It is said that in the 35th year of Kangxi, Ba Age Yinxu was selected twice to go to Galdan with his father Kangxi, and was named Baylor after the end of the war, becoming the youngest person among them. This shows that Yinhu was deeply loved by Kangxi since he was a child. In Kangxi's love, his mother was precious to her son. Wei was canonized as a good wife in the 39th year of Kangxi. Soon after, Kangxi separately canonized Wei as a concubine (liang concubine). As a result, Wei became an early Kangxi The last of the five concubines to be named concubine.
However, all this changed in the late Kangxi dynasty. After the prince abolished in the 47th year of Kangxi, Kangxi’s attitude towards the eighth elder brother Yinhu changed drastically, from loving to despising, even A bit disgusted, the reason is nothing more than Yinxuan gathered his party feathers to fight for the position, and caused a huge threat to the throne.
At this time, Wei was not in good health, but when his son Yinxuan fell out of favor, his mood was naturally very depressed. On November 20, the 50th year of Kangxi, Wei died of illness in the Qing Palace at the age of 50. At that time, Kangxi personally presided over the first and full moon ritual ceremony of Wei, which shows that Wei still has a certain place in Kangxi's heart. However, for some reason, in the Yongzheng Dynasty, Wei had a new title, namely, Xinzhe Kujian. Fu, and according to Yongzheng himself, this title was given by Kangxi. As for the true or false, we don’t know.
The outcome of Kangxi's later reign was that Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, won and became the Emperor of Yongzheng. The emperor Yinzhen failed, and was later confined to death. He was renamed Aqina and removed from his clan.
Finally, we can briefly summarize the story:
On the first month of the fourteenth year of Kangxi, three young women were selected as court ladies, as close as sisters. They were all favored by Kangxi. One of them was very favored and was named a concubine. The fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen inherited the throne, that is, Emperor Yongzheng. Although the other was not favored, he had a peaceful mind and was born. After the prince Yinhu, the mother and son lived a long life, and the last one gave birth to the outstanding prince Yinhu, but he eventually became the loser of the political struggle.
