People who have watched "Huan Zhu Gege" know that there is a character in the play, although it has not appeared, but her name runs through the entire play, and this character is Xia Yuhe. Xia Yuhe is Ziwei's biological mother, she is a gentle and elegant, beautiful and moving folk girl, and the Qianlong Emperor met and fell in love with the shores of Daming Lake. In the end, although Xia Yuhe knew that her love with Qianlong would not bear fruit, she still gave birth to Ziwei persistently, and waited bitterly for Qianlong for eighteen years, and finally fell ill with love and regrettably died.
What kind of charm does Qianlong have, worthy of Xia Yuhe's obsessive waiting for a full eighteen years, is the historical Xia Yuhe really exist? Is this touching love a true historical story?
It turns out that the character of Xia Yuhe is real in history, but the historical Xia Yuhe is not an ordinary folk woman, her identity is much more noble, she is the pure concubine in history, that is, the imperial concubine who is later known to everyone. Xia Yuhe did indeed give birth to a daughter for the Qianlong Emperor, so the setting of Xia Yuhe and Ziwei existed in history.
However, there is a big difference between the historical Ziwei and the talented and talented Ziwei in "Huan Zhu Gege". Ziwei was born, there is a very obvious defect in the body, that is, her hands are very different from the hands of normal people, as the daughter of the emperor, Ziwei's difference is not regarded as a defect, but is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, everyone calls her special hand "Buddha's hand". The Qianlong Emperor was also very fond of this daughter and made her Princess Heshuo and Jia.
Princess Heshuo and Princess Jia are gentle by nature, and the whole person carries an idyllic temperament. After growing up, Princess Heshuo and Princess Jia were indeed married to Falcon, and the two people had a very harmonious relationship and an extremely harmonious life after marriage. But the good times were short-lived, and the lives of Princess Heshuo and Princess Jia were not long, and after she gave birth to a daughter for Falcon, she left this world not long after. The year princess Heshuo and Princess Jia died, they were only twenty-three years old, which was a good year. The death of her daughter dealt a great blow to pure noble concubines, and she fell into a depressed situation all day long.
The Qianlong Emperor also favored the pure noble concubines even more, and also let people paint for the pure noble concubines. In the end, the portrait was well preserved and eventually auctioned off for a whopping $137 million.
I have to say that the historical Xia Yuhe is also a legendary woman, although her status was not very high when she first entered Qianlong Province, but after a long time together, she got the favor of Qianlong, and also got no honor from others, which can also be regarded as a historical story.
