In the harem of each dynasty, there will be a few more favored women, in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, to say that the most favored concubines, let us first think of Dong Efei during the Shunzhi period. However, although she was more favored, she never became an empress during her lifetime, and her title of empress was posthumously honored after her death. If you want to say that the qing dynasty is the most favored empress of the emperor, it should be the Empress Xiao Quancheng of the Daoguang Emperor.
Empress Xiao Quancheng was a member of the Niuhulu clan, a Manchurian Zhenghongqi person, and although she was a Member of the Niuhulu clan, her family lineage was not the prominent one. According to historical records, her father was once a second-class bodyguard at Qianqingmen. In the second year of Daoguang, she participated in the Eight Flags Draft, although her status and status were not high, but she was outstanding among the show girls and had both moral integrity and ability, so the Daoguang Emperor took a fancy to her at a glance and included her in the harem.
At the same time as her, there were many women who entered the palace, but among these people, her title was the highest, and she was crowned as a full concubine just after entering the palace. Therefore, in the heart of the Daoguang Emperor, she must be a relatively special existence. She not only started from a high starting point, but also promoted very quickly, and when Daoguang was three years old, she was named a full concubine, and when Daoguang was four years old, she became a noble concubine, but in fact, she was only 17 years old at that time.
At such a young age in the harem, she became the second lord after the queen, so we can also see how favored she is. In addition to how favored she is in terms of the speed of her promotion, we can also see in her heirs. In the fourth year of Daoguang, she gave birth to the third daughter of the Daoguang Emperor, but the child only lived to be 11 years old, and after the death of this princess, Daoguang posthumously crowned her as Princess Gulun Duanshun.
Later, the Niuhulu clan gave birth to a fourth daughter, Princess Gulun Shou'an, who ranked first among Daoguang's surviving daughters and became the only princess of Daoguang, and in the heart of the Daoguang Emperor, no daughter could be compared with her.
When Daoguang was 11 years old, niuhulu clan was pregnant again, this time she gave birth to a prince, that is, the fourth brother Yixuan, the birth of this prince, so that the already favored niuhulu clan in the harem position more stable.
Later, she happened to catch up with the death of Empress Xiaoshen, which seemed to be the heavens taking care of her, and the always favored Quan Guifei began to master the affairs of the six palaces, and soon became the empress of the middle palace, only 26 years old when she was empress. Originally, she was a very happy woman, enjoying the supreme honor and the favor of the emperor, but behind this there was a very big crisis, that is, the contradiction between her and the empress dowager at that time was getting deeper and deeper.
When Daoguang was 20 years old, she suddenly died violently in the Yuanmingyuan, when she was only 33 years old, and her name was Empress Xiaoquan. Because her death was very strange and sudden, the cause of her death has been widely circulated, and many people say that she was killed by the empress. However, in the emptied medical case, it is recorded that Empress Xiaoquan had a record of illness before her death, and had been treated for a long time, so the chances of her being killed were very small. It's just that such a legendary queen suddenly died violently, which is difficult for people to accept.
