In his later years, Daoguang had two favored concubines, one was Shu Mulu who entered the palace in the eleventh year of Daoguang, and the ShuMulu clan sat on the throne of the noble concubine at the age of 20, and gave birth to three daughters in succession to Daoguang, but because he privately gave the emperor's reward items to the eunuchs, he was demoted three times in a row, so Daoguang's favorite in his later years should be another woman, she was the Wuya clan who entered the palace in the seventeenth year of Daoguang, that is, the Zhuangshun Emperor's concubine.
1. Daughter of the Eight Flags family
Emperor Zhuangshun's noble concubine Wu Yashi, a native of The Yellow Banner of Manchuria, was born in the second year of Daoguang, 40 years younger than the Daoguang Emperor, and was the daughter of The pen-style Lingshou.
Some readers who see the surname of The Noble Concubine of the Zhuang shun Emperor will surely think of another woman, who is the Yongzheng Emperor's birth mother, Empress Xiaogongren, that is, Princess De. It is true that the concubines of The Zhuangshun Emperor did come from the same family as Empress Xiaogongren, but their blood relations were relatively distant, as early as the Kangxi Dynasty, they had already produced five costumes, and according to the Wuya clan genealogy, the fifth Zuluodai of the Zhuangshun Imperial Concubines and Empress Xiaogongren were cousins.
In addition, there was a concubine in the Jiaqing harem, also from the Wuya clan, and the relationship between the concubine and the concubine of the Zhuang shun emperor was closer, and the grandfather of the zhuangshun emperor concubine, Bailu, was a cousin of the concubine, that is, the cousin grandmother of the zhuangshun emperor's concubine.
The zhuangshun emperor's noble concubines began to rise from her great-grandfather Guanbao, who entered the army in the form of a pen and post, and later became an official Shangshu and a co-founder of the university, and retired after the age of eighty, with the nickname Wenqin. In that year, Qianlong once gave the three classes of nine elders a banquet in Xiangshan, and the so-called three classes referred to the class of Wen, Wu and Zhishi, and Guan bao lived in one of the nine elders of the Wen class.
However, in the generation of Lingshou, the father of Emperor Zhuangshun's noble concubine, the family gradually declined, and Lingshou was chaotic for half a lifetime, and only mixed with a pen-and-paper small official position. It is said that this Lingshou's wife's surname is Ejit, and the Ejit clan has not given birth in her life, and it is the concubine Weng who gave birth to Lingshou, who is the birth mother of the noble concubine of The Zhuangshun Emperor.
2. A young girl who is selected to enter the harem
I don't know if you have found out that Daoguang is actually a Lolita control, and those concubines in the harem are dozens of years younger than him at every turn. In fact, this can not blame him, Daoguang was already a middle-aged man of about forty years old when he succeeded to the throne, those show girls who were selected to enter the palace were all teenagers, of course, they would be much younger than him, Zhuang Shun Emperor Guifei was one of them, she was 40 years younger than Daoguang.
After Daoguang succeeded to the throne, from the second year of Daoguang to the seventeenth year of Daoguang, the eight flags draft every three years did not fall down every time. For example, Daoguang's second year full concubines, mu guiren, auspicious nobles, and precious people enter the palace, Daoguang five years of jing noble people enter the palace, Daoguang eight years into the palace, Daoguang eleven years of Tong gui people into the palace, Daoguang fourteen years of Yi gui people into the palace, Daoguang seventeen years into the palace is The Zhuang Shun Emperor's noble concubine, the title at that time was Xiu Guiren.
In fact, the purpose of holding the Eight Flags Draft is not only to choose concubines for the emperor, but also to choose Fujin for the children of the princes and nobles of the clan, after all, the inheritance of incense is the first priority of the royal family, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
In the seventeenth year of Daoguang, the 16-year-old daughter of Lingshou, the Wuya clan (Zhuangshun Emperor's noble concubine) from zhenghuangqi, participated in the Eight Flags draft that year, and the Wuya clan performed well, becoming the only show girl selected by the emperor that year, and the selected Wuya clan gave the number xiugui, and then was admitted to live in the Yuanmingyuan in February.
However, I don't know if he was not familiar with the court etiquette, or some other reason, the Wu Ya clan, who had just entered the palace, actually provoked Daoguang, and was demoted to Xiu Changzai less than a year after entering the palace.
This matter should be placed in other dynasties, such as the Kangxi Dynasty or the Qianlong Dynasty, and the Wuya clan basically confessed it in this lifetime, but in the Daoguang Dynasty, this matter was very common, and the demotion of concubines was like eating a common meal. Moreover, Uyashi has an advantage, that is, she is still young, only 16 years old, and at a flower-like age, she still has a chance to make a comeback.
3. Daoguang darling who gave birth to four children
Sure enough, just over a year later, Wu Yashi waited for the opportunity to take advantage of a good opportunity to serve and was re-promoted to nobleman, and was given the title of Lin Guiren, when it was July 23, 1999.
On the eve of Uya's re-promotion to nobility, an incident occurred in her palace to beat up the palace maid.
At that time, a palace maid named Dayu next to Wu Yashi broke a bowl and broke the flower needle, so she was slapped by the palace maid of Xianfu Palace with a tailoring ruler, and her face was also bruised, and then the big girl was driven out of the palace. In fact, in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, there were often some palace women who were punished by their masters because of inflexibility of their hands and feet, and were expelled from the palace, which was not a new thing.
Twenty years from Daoguang, Uya's highlight moment has finally arrived.
First of all, in this year, the pregnant Wu Ya clan was promoted to be a concubine of Lin, and in September gave birth to the seventh son of the emperor, Yi Zhen, less than two months after giving birth to Yi Zhen, Daoguang decreed that he would be crowned as a Concubine Lin, see no, or give birth to a son, as long as he gave birth to a son, waiting for promotion.

In the twenty-second year of Daoguang, Wu Yashi, who was already Concubine Lin, gave birth again, gave birth to The Ninth Princess Shouzhuang of the Emperor, and received Princess Lin's treasure seal at the Chengqian Palace. It can be seen that at that time, the residence of the Wuya clan was the Chengqian Palace, and the Chengqian Palace had a very high status in the Eastern Sixth Palace, under normal circumstances, only the emperor's favorite concubines were eligible to live, and the most famous master was Concubine Dong of the Shunzhi Dynasty, followed by Empress Xiaoyiren of the Kangxi Dynasty.
In the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang and the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang, the Wuya clan gave birth to two consecutive princes, namely the eighth son of the emperor, Yixuan, and the ninth son of the emperor, Yixuan, which made the Daoguang Emperor, who originally had thin heirs, suddenly become prosperous, and Daoguang was of course very happy, so he promoted the Wuya clan to be a concubine of Lin Guifei:
"The Hall of the Pearls of Xuanqin." The glory of the shiba mud. Job-based Xuan. Pepper watch Heng Huang's virtue. Nie Zhao Lingdian . With tin badges. Concubine Wu Ya and Shu Shen Qiyi. Soft-hearted. Formula aromatic type in the inner rule. Etiquette is profound. Introducing Chunhui. Mercy was arrested. I hereby pay homage to the Will of the Empress Dowager. Jin Feng'er was a concubine of Lin Guifei. Specially awarded The Sundanese. Jinyi Kunyi. Erqi looked up to Mu Hongxiu. Praise the transformation of Su Yong. Elephant suit. Humble and humble. Thanks. ”
After being promoted to the title of Concubine Lin, the Uya clan had actually sat in the second chair of the harem, because in the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang, the Tong Guifei Shu Mulu clan was demoted to a nobleman because she gave the emperor's reward to the eunuchs around her, and the Uya clan went up with the trend and became the second person, second only to the imperial concubine Borjigit (Empress Xiaojing).
Twenty-eight years after Daoguang, the 27-year-old Wu Yashi once again conceived a dragon fetus for the Daoguang Emperor, at this time Daoguang was already 67 years old, and he did not expect that his energy was still so exuberant. However, this time, Wu Yashi did not have a smooth birth, but gave birth to a small child, which is a pity, but she has already given birth to four children for Daoguang, even if you look at the entire history of the Great Qing Dynasty, it is very rare.
4. Honored as an imperial concubine
On the fourteenth day of the first month of the 30th year of Daoguang, Daoguang, a man who had made Wu Yashi pregnant five times, died at the age of 69 in the Shende Hall of the Yuanmingyuan. Subsequently, the emperor's fourth son Yixuan succeeded to the throne as the Xianfeng Emperor. After Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, he honored the Wuya clan as The Noble Concubine of Emperor Kaolin, and the Wuya clan moved from Chengqian Palace to Shoukang Palace.

The Nine Emperors of the Throne. He was dressed and unsure of his duties. Fame of the Six Houses. Biao Tong pipe and dedication. Zai Wei Yimei. Yi Jin Rong Praise. He is honored as The Crown Princess of the Crown. Yu drama. Lang Han is radiant. Purple No. Keifu Miaki. Pearl tree Xianghua. Zhu Di's Spring Hui Yiyong. Sincerely. ”
In the second year of Xianfeng, another palace girl was driven away by Wu Ya's side, what happened? This palace girl named Si Yan was more stupid, and she couldn't learn needlework, so she let Wu Yashi send her away.
According to records, as a princess, Wu Yashi often fed Xianfeng jin and did some needlework, far more than Daoguang's other widows. It can be seen that the relationship between Xianfeng and this mother concubine is still very good.
After the Tongzhi Emperor succeeded to the throne, the empress dowagers Ci'an and Cixi of the two palaces, in the name of the Tongzhi Emperor, honored the Wuya clan as the noble concubine of Emperor Zulin. In this way, the Wuya clan finally survived to the title of imperial concubine.
However, after four births, coupled with a small birth, the body of the Uya clan was seriously damaged, and in the fifth year of being honored as the imperial concubine (the fifth year of tongzhi), the Uya clan died at the age of 44. It is said that on the eve of Uya's death, the eldest daughter of Wang Yizhen of Alcohol County and the eldest son Zaihan died one after another, which may have aggravated Uya's condition to a certain extent.
After the death of the Wuya clan, Ci'an and Cixi made him a concubine of the Zhuangshun Emperor, and on October 16 of the sixth year of tongzhi, they buried the Wuya clan in Mudongling.
On November 15 of the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, eight years after the death of Wu Yashi, the 19-year-old Tongzhi Emperor died of illness at the Yangxin Temple. In the subsequent process of selecting an heir, Zai Xiang, the second son of King Yizhen of Alcohol County, ascended the throne in the form of succession to the Xianfeng Emperor, and Zai Xiang was the famous Guangxu Emperor.
After Guangxu succeeded to the throne, he did not forget to improve the standard treatment for his grandmother, such as increasing the sacrifices of the Uya clan, posthumously sealing the three generations of the Uya clan as a pin seal, and giving the Uya clan a hereditary knighthood.
In October of the 34th year of Guangxu, Puyi, the grandson of Yizhen the Prince of Alcohol, was selected by Cixi as the heir, succeeding Muzong and Emperor Dezong as the new Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as Emperor Xuantong.
Perhaps Wu Yashi would not have thought that after a hundred years, his grandson and great-grandson would be able to inherit the throne of the Qing Dynasty, but the last generations of emperors of the Qing Dynasty could not give birth to sons, and could only find the closest clan with Tongzhi and Guangxu to inherit the throne.
Zichen said:
Emperor Zhuangshun's noble concubine Wu Yashi can be said to be the most favored woman in Daoguang's later years, she was pregnant with a dragon fetus five times in her life, four times, and made great contributions to the royal family, especially the seventh son she gave birth to, Yi Zhen, who became a prominent figure in the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Yi Zhen's son Zai Xiang and grandson Puyi unexpectedly inherited the throne, which also improved the historical status of the Wuya clan to a certain extent. Sometimes, life is like this, there are always some accidents that come suddenly, either before or after death.
