Although the Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, due to the influence of Confucian culture for thousands of years, its regime has always strictly adhered to the rules of concubines. Whether it was the Imperial Family of the Qing Dynasty or the Ministers of the Central Korean Dynasty, the daughters of Shu Chu endured more cold eyes than men. Huanbi of Shu out of "The Biography of Zhen Huan" can only be used as a dowry maid for her daughter, and the empress can only marry Yin Chan, who is also a Concubine.
Not only that, in the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was a concubine or a princess, it was based on the dignity and inferiority of concubines. The children born to the empress are both male and female, and if they are girls, they are "Princess Guren". The daughters of other concubines, even if they are favored again, are still out of the house, and the title can only be "Heshuo". But there will also be special circumstances, and the princess of shu out gets the title of concubine, but such a situation is very rare.
Since ancient times, it has been a mother who is precious by her son, but in the imperial family, the mother's origin also determines the glory of her children. Therefore, the concubines in the harem tried desperately to climb up in order to earn a good future for their children. For example, Qianlong's favorite seventh princess, her mother Concubine Ling, was deeply loved by Qianlong. Although the Seventh Princess was a Concubine, she was given the title of "Princess Gulun and Jing".
The main reason why this princess was able to get the title of princess was that in addition to her mother Concubine Lingfei being very favored by Qianlong, the main reason was because the husband's family was too glorious and needed a country's princess to be worthy of others. Six months after receiving the title of "Princess of Gulun and Jing", the Seventh Princess married The Son of Prince Rawandorji of Khalkha, a small Mongol prince. His grandfather, Ling Ce, the Prince of the Mongolian Khalkha League, was a famous Mongol general during the Kangxi Dynasty, and the entire family was a descendant of Genghis Khan. He was also a relative of Empress Xiaozhuang and had close relations with Daqing. It can be said that it is a brother and ally of the Qing Dynasty, so the emperors of successive dynasties have attached great importance to their relations with Mongolia.
One of the important means of maintaining this relationship was political marriage, which was customary for princesses and princes to marry Mongol tribes during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods, and Qianlong was no exception. But Qianlong already had six princesses before Princess Jinghe, and unfortunately four princesses died early. One of the other two princesses was the daughter of Qianlong's "White Moonlight" Fu cha clan: Princess Gulun. Strangely, her mother was the most important woman in Qianlong, but the princess born to her was not valued by her father, nor was she treated by Princess Gulun.
The other is Princess Heshuo and Jia, born to The Pure Noble Concubine of the Su Clan, and in the "Yanxi Raiders", the Pure Noble Concubine is devoted to Fucha. Fu Heng. But the real history is that Su Guifei's daughter married Fu Heng's son, and the two married each other. However, their husband's family was far less powerful than that of Lavandorji, and it can be said that the Mongolian Khalkha League was one of the most valued allies of the Qing Dynasty. In order to show the importance attached to Mongolia, but also to consolidate its own political power, the Qing Dynasty will definitely use the most honorable princess to marry Mongolia. However, in the thirty-second year of Qianlong, Princess Jiahe died, and Qianlong was left with only two daughters, Princess Gulun and Princess Jinghe, who were not valued.
When Princess Jinghe married the little Prince of Mongolia, Concubine Ling had become the de facto ruler of the Qianlong harem. Although she was never crowned empress during her lifetime, she was revered by the harem of the previous dynasty. The reason why Concubine Ling did not receive the honor of empress was because Qianlong's mother had always disliked her, and the Qing Dynasty did not allow a person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be born in a wrapped robe, and a Han woman became the mother of a country ruled by the Manchus. But Wei Jia was already the de facto empress at that time, and it was normal for her first daughter to be crowned "Princess Gulun".
The Seventh Princess was also Qianlong's favorite daughter, and was accused of marrying a Mongol tribe that was very important to the Qing Dynasty just three months after her birth. Before getting married, she was given the title of "Princess of Gulun", and the specifications of the wedding were also very luxurious. Riding in a silver-topped palanquin, the dowry specifications are also in accordance with the specifications of Princess Gulun. Not only that, Qianlong was reluctant to let his daughter live in distant Mongolia, so he let the couple stay in Beijing after marriage. However, the heavens did not go according to people's wishes, and princess Jinghe died of illness in the forty years of Qianlong, at the age of twenty.
The Princess Mansion in Beijing is now a key cultural relic, and it was the mansion given to Princess Jinghe by the Qianlong Emperor when she was married. The decoration layout of the mansion is mostly Mongolian style, carrying important historical and cultural information. There is also the tomb of the princess outside Dongzhimen, which is also the tomb where Princess Jinghe and Lavandorji are buried together. The building has a lot of cultural heritage and characteristics, and there are many pines and cypresses, which is also the last love of Qianlong as a father for his daughter.
After the death of the Seventh Princess, his husband, the little Prince of Mongolia, was also reused by the two emperors of Qianlong and Jiaqing, and even became the savior of the Jiaqing Emperor. He died of illness in Jiaqing in the 21st year, and was buried in Beijing with the Seven Princesses after his death. Born and died in the same cave, from the birth of three months old was accused of marrying the little prince of Mongolia's seven princesses, after the death of the two people will always be together, this is also the best ending for the two of them.
