The monogamous system in today's society can be said to run through the whole of China. Under such a system, every family in China has lived a harmonious life and a life of conjugal unity. However, in the feudal period, China did not necessarily have many rules and regulations on marriage, not to mention that men could marry multiple women as concubines, and even did not care about the relationship between women and themselves. The most surprising thing in history is that a pair of sisters entered the palace at the same time and married their grandfathers and grandchildren respectively.
This pair of sisters are the Empress Xiaoxian Dong'e clan and the Filial Piety Empress Uranara clan, and everyone should know it when they hear this. Yes, these two people were the wife of Kangxi's father Shunzhi and Kangxi's son Yongzheng. If such a thing is placed in today's era, it will definitely set off a huge ripple in society, after all, the sister of the grandfather's wife is his own elder, knowing that he has such a relationship and forcibly marrying the other party as a wife, he will certainly be condemned by society. However, Yongzheng didn't have so many worries at that time, and if he liked it, he would chase it. Of course, the sisters were equally lucky to be empresses, but after the two were favored by the emperor, their life encounters were very different.
Yongzheng's wife, Uranara, was the most favored woman in Yongzheng's life, and as early as when Yongzheng was ten years old, Kangxi promised him the Uranara clan as a side fujin. And it is precisely because of this heavy relationship that the two have grown up together, and the relationship is naturally very good, which can be said to be a typical green plum bamboo horse in history. In addition, the Uranara clan is also gentle and considerate, and naturally it is deeply loved by Yongzheng, so the Uranara clan undoubtedly became the empress of the Qing Dynasty. And Yongzheng is also very willing to accompany this intimate wife in addition to handling government affairs. However, although Uranara clan has been favored by Yongzheng all her life, she is also a bitter woman. It turned out that Uranara and Yongzheng once had a son, and grew up to eight years old, and Yongzheng, who was smart and clever, was born to his beloved wife, and Yongzheng had high hopes for him. Who would have thought that this son would suddenly leave the world at the age of eight, and that the Uranara clan would never be able to give birth to a dragon species after that.
Compared with the pity of her sister Uranara, the filial piety empress Dong Eshi is really painful. Perhaps many people do not know much about the title of Empress Xiaoxian, and even feel that she is not the real empress of Shunzhi. In fact, Empress Xiaoxian is considered to be the empress of Shunzhi, and it can also be said that she is not the empress of the other party. Because empress dowager Dong E's status as empress dowager was not obtained during her lifetime, but was posthumously created by the Shunzhi Emperor after her death. In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Dong Eshi entered the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty, and at this time she was still only an indispensable member of the Emperor's harem, but she soon got the sincerity of the Shunzhi Emperor, and her status also rose rapidly.
In the short period of a few months after Dong E's entry into the palace, the Shunzhi Emperor found various excuses and reasons to improve her rank, which shows that the Shunzhi Emperor also really likes this woman and wants her to be his own empress, and it should be known that such a speed of promotion is rare in China's feudal dynasty. And Dong E's clan is also very considerate, and the little actions of the Shunzhi Emperor can make her guess the meaning, and it is precisely because of this that the Shunzhi Emperor loves Dong E's family in every way. However, Dong Eshi was a woman with a bad fate, and although the Shunzhi Emperor loved her, his own blessings were not enough to eliminate her.
After Dong Eshi was loved by the Shunzhi Emperor, he soon became pregnant with the Shunzhi Emperor's child, and died just four months after the birth of the child. The Shunzhi Emperor also announced that this was his "first son" at the beginning of the birth of the child, which shows how much Shunzhi attached importance to Dong Eshi. However, the child died early, and Dong Eshi was hit hard, and soon became seriously ill. At this time, the Dong E clan only had the title of imperial concubine. The Shunzhi Emperor's careful care of Dong Eshi did not allow the beloved woman to eradicate the disease. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, Dong Eshi died, and in the same year the Shunzhi Emperor posthumously honored her as Empress Xiaoxian. Although she also got the position of empress, but she left the world early, it can be said that Dong Eshi is the most beloved woman in Shunzhi's life, and also the biggest heart disease in Shunzhi!
