On February 11 of the second year of Xianfeng, the seventeen-year-old Yehenara clan was elected to the palace and given the title of Lan Guiren. The following year, he was promoted to concubine, and zaichun was born as a concubine, at this time, Cixi's sister also participated in the draft, but was unsuccessful. Concubine Yi persuaded Emperor Xianfeng to assign Hua Rongyue's younger sister to emperor Yizhen as a concubine. From this time on, Wanzhen's fate was in the hands of her sister. Why?
▲Empress Dowager Cixi
First, before Wanzhen entered the palace, she became a tool for Cixi's pursuit of power, but Wanzhen was kept in the dark.
When Cixi was still a concubine not long after entering the palace, her position in the palace was not very stable, and she lacked confidants and power in the court. Concubine Yi persuaded Emperor Xianfeng to assign Hua Rongyue's younger sister to emperor Yizhen as a concubine. At that time, Yi Zhen wentao, who was in his early twenties, quite talented, and his position of Concubine Fujin was a piece of "fat meat", and although many famous and prestigious families were looking at the tiger, they could only resign themselves to fate.
▲Xianfeng Emperor?
Under Cixi's soft and hard bubbles, the Xianfeng Emperor finally agreed to her request. In the ninth year of Xianfeng, YiZhen, who was then the king of Alcohol County, married the Yehenara clan. In the eyes of outsiders, Wanzhen was the blessing of her sister, and she got this family affair. At first, Wanzhen was indeed very happy, and Yizhen also loved her own concubine Fujin. Wanzhen, who is in the cardamom years, has unconsciously become a fortune-teller in her sister Yifei's wishful thinking.
▲ Wan Zhen and her husband Yi Zhen
Second, Wanzhen's child Zai Xiang also became a tool for Cixi to use.
Soon after the marriage, Wanzhen gave birth to Yizhen's eldest son, Aisin Kyora Zaihan. The mother was noble, and Wanzhen soon gained a high status in the prince's palace, and Yizhen also loved this concubine Fujin even more. When her first son was only two years old, she died, but fortunately, Wanzhen soon had her second son, Zai Xiang. Wanzhen also quickly forgot her grief and carefully raised her son Zai Xiang.
▲The Guangxu Emperor?
The death of Cixi's son, Emperor Tongzhi, broke Wanzhen's happy and quiet life. The Tongzhi Emperor, who was over twenty years old, left without leaving any heirs. "The family cannot be without a master for a day, and the country cannot be without a monarch for a day" Cixi, in order to let the emperors of thousands of generations shed the blood of their own family, but also chose a young child as a "puppet", at the first time, thought of her sister's own son Zai Xiang. However, Cixi did not even leave room for her sister to discuss, so that Zai Xiang, who was only three years old, left Wanzhen's motherly embrace and went to the Forbidden City in an eight-wheeled sedan car. And Wanzhen could only watch her children being taken away, and she burst into tears when she watched Zai's clothes and supplies!
▲Tongzhi Emperor
After the death of emperor Tongzhi, Cixi quickly came out of her grief and found a way out for her power. Every step she takes is stepping on the shoulders of others, no matter whether others live or die, power is her highest pursuit in life. Every time Wanzhen's fate turns, she is passively moving forward under the arrangement of her sister, she has no desire for power, nor does she have a high pursuit of life, her only hope is to live a good life in front of her, but even this most basic and minimum requirement cannot be realized.
