After "The Biography of Zhen Huan", the more popular court dramas are "Yanxi Raiders" and "Ruyi Zhuan", and the role of She Shiman in "Yanxi Raiders" is the role played by Zhou Xun in "Ruyi Biography", that is, the Qianlong Emperor succeeds empress.
On November 30, 1981, the Qing Dongling Administration cleaned up the underground palace of Emperor Chunhui's noble concubine in the Yuling Garden as required.
On October 7, 2015, at the Hong Kong Sotheby's Autumn Auction, Lang Shining and other painters painted the "Portrait of the Imperial Concubine of chunhui Emperor Guifei" for 137.4 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record for Chinese imperial portraits.
Although the staff knew who the owner of the tomb was, they were surprised during the clean-up process: in this mausoleum, which obviously had only one tomb owner, two coffins and two concrete bones appeared. The queen concubines of the Qing Dynasty were all one palace and one concubine, except for the pure Hui Emperor's noble concubines, who was the other person?
After a large-scale data search, the staff found a book equivalent to a royal memorandum called "Tomb Matters Are Easy to Know", and in the Qianlong chapter, a message unlocked the identity of the other person:
"Respectfully, the Imperial Noble Concubine Sleeps in the Garden, the Treasure City in Zhongjian, the Empress Feng'an, and the Pure Hui Imperial Concubine."
The woman who squeezed into the tomb of the imperial concubine was actually the second empress of Qianlong, Ullanara Ruyi, the protagonist of "Ruyi Zhuan", and the "vicious empress" in "Huan Zhu Gege", and the "Qing History Draft" only used more than 100 words to tell her life.
What kind of resentment made Qianlong so contemptuous of his second empress? Or start with the first empress of Qianlong, Fucha Yingqi.
Fucha clan is one of the eight major surnames in Manchuria, Empress Fucha's father Li Rongbao served as a scholar of Bohol Temple, the official residence Yipin, experienced the Three Dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, at the age of 16, the famous lady Fucha Yingqi was selected by Qianlong's father, the Yongzheng Emperor, Xu rationed to Qianlong, who was still the "Prince of Bao" at the time, and was crowned as Concubine Fujin, this married wife, deeply liked by Qianlong.
She is very beautiful.
In the forbidden city now, her portrait is preserved, her demeanor is gentle, her eyes are soft, and she is an empress, but she does not have any domineering manners, and her demeanor and cultivation are atmospheric.
She is very talented.
It is said that when she was nine years old, the Yongzheng Emperor saw that her writing was sharp and strong, which was deeply impressed by the famous calligraphers of the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Qing and Liu Gongquan, and was surprised and felt that it was not like what a young GeGe had written.
She was particularly frugal.
In the 13 years that she became empress, she never paid attention to pomp and circumstance, her diet did not have the taste of mountains and seas, her clothes were simple and simple, and she usually did not wear various gold and silver jewelry, but only used grass velvet flower makeup. Qianlong was a well-known filial piety, his wife's filial piety made him overjoyed, and the imperial couple had deep feelings. However, the perfect Empress Fucha, after suffering the blows of the premature death of two sons in a row, died prematurely at the age of 37, to what extent was Qianlong sad?
The ship on which the empress died of illness was called "Qingquefang", and Qianlong demanded that no matter what method was used, this huge ship should be transported back to the Forbidden City as a souvenir; the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies referred to the funeral rites of the former empress, combined with the diligence and frugality of Empress Fucha's life, and played a thin burial, Qianlong was furious, and he demanded that all the pomp and circumstance of the empress's funeral should be brought closer to the emperor: he forcibly required the people to "keep filial piety for the empress for a hundred days", and for the officials who still had the heart to shave their hair and repair their faces during the national funeral, all officials were arrested and beheaded, even including the governor of Huguang and other officials.
These crazy and unruly behaviors exposed the fragility of Qianlong's heart, the emperor with supreme power and wealth, love and pain did not know how to vent, as if only with the help of abnormal behavior, can the mourning in the heart be relieved.
Various historical sources show that the appointment of Uranara Ruyi as empress should be the result of the empress's deliberations: the harem needs a female lord, and the empress must also be of noble birth and senior experience, under these two conditions, Ruyi is almost the only qualified candidate, she comes from the Uranara family, one of the eight surnames in Manchuria, and is the side Fujin that Yongzheng gave to Qianlong in that year.
Qianlong's mother and son argued for two years over the appointment of a new empress, which ended in the emperor's compromise. In 1750, at the age of 32, Uranara Ruyi was crowned empress after 17 years of marrying Qianlong.
As the lord of the harem, the empress can justifiably accompany the emperor, and the long-term affection, such as the love of Yi's wife and the sense of responsibility of the empress, gradually impressed the emperor's husband.
His touching was implemented in his behavior, that is, the 35-year-old empress finally gave birth to her first child, the emperor's twelfth son, Yong Xuan; the second year, she gave birth to the fifth daughter of the emperor; two years later, she gave birth to the thirteenth son of the emperor, Yong Jing. Judging from the frequency of birth of these children, ru Yi was crowned empress in the first five years, and the husband and wife were harmonious. However, she married Qianlong from the age of 15 and died in the cold palace at the age of 48, a total of 33 years. Of the 33 years, only 5 years of real companionship, how to spend every day of the remaining 28 years?
Of course, there will be no vivid psychological description in the history books that are as good as gold, but it only records that there are more than 40 famous concubines of the emperor, how difficult is it to get a glimpse of their husbands' attention from so many women? In particular, in addition to his insurmountable predecessor, Ruyi must also face a steady stream of competitors. Lingfei was the most favored woman in the court after the death of Empress Fucha, and her surname was Wei Jiashi, which was the "Ling Concubine Niangniang" in "Huan Zhu GeGe" and "Yanxi Raiders". During the years of coexistence with Ruyi, Concubine Ling won with four significant advantages:
She was gentle. Even from the surviving scribble records, it can still be seen that Ruyi's personality is quite strong, and such a character is facing Qianlong, the longest-ruling emperor in Chinese history, who has long become self-conscious in his many years of emperorhood, and his temper is inevitably colliding.
Concubine Ling is young. She was 16 years younger than Qianlong, and when Ruyi was in her 40s, she was in her early 30s, in her prime.
Finally, the concubines had many children. She gave birth to six children for Qianlong, including the fifteenth son of the emperor, Yongyan, who later became the Jiaqing Emperor.
The harem CEO did not have the full support of the chairman's husband Jun, nor did she have the majority support of the palace board, and her character, talent and courage did not seem to be able to support the position of "queen".
