Did the Qing Dynasty ever have a female emperor? Unearthed female tomb owners wearing dragon robes revealed their amazing identities

In ancient times, only the emperor could wear dragon robes, and I did not expect that in an ancient tomb in Inner Mongolia, a female tomb owner wearing a dragon robe was unearthed, which made archaeologists very confused, but the scale of the tomb was not high, and it was even more curious, after research, it was found that the tomb owner was actually Kangxi's favorite daughter Princess Gulun Rongxian.

In 1972, an ancient tomb was found in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, the structure of the tomb is complex, archaeologists according to the internal structure of the tomb and the excavation of funerary products, speculated that this is the ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty, and found a pine coffin, opened and found a female corpse, wearing a dragon robe, her identity makes everyone quite curious.

Since ancient times, only the emperor can wear a dragon robe to bury, and the tombs found in Inner Mongolia are not of high specifications, and besides, the tomb owner is a woman, it is impossible to be the emperor's tomb, archaeologists have studied the ancient tomb, confirming that this is the tomb of Kangxi's favorite daughter Princess Gulun Rongxian, but why does the princess wear a dragon robe, is it because of the heart of trespassing?

After examination, it was found that the dragon robe worn by Princess Rongxian was actually slightly different from what the emperor wore, the emperor wore embroidered with 9 dragons, but Princess Rongxian wore 8 five-clawed golden dragons, according to the "Great Qing Canon", after the eleventh year of Shunzhi, the empress, the imperial concubine and other noble women could wear such five-clawed 8-tuan dragon robes, and after Yongzheng, the eight-clawed pattern was only used by women.

If from the perspective of the hierarchy, Princess Rongxian, who was married to the inner Mongolian leader Urgun, could not actually wear a five-clawed dragon robe, but because she was also a princess of Mongolia, the rank was higher than that of the princess, and experts deduced that this dragon robe should be given to Princess Rongxian by Kangxi to show her noble status, which also showed Kangxi's love for her.
