Mao Xiaotong once played a Ying Guiren known as a "beautiful face" in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", willow leaf eyebrows, cherry small mouth, full of classical atmosphere of the face, as soon as she appeared on the TV screen, it was a pity that she was such a weak woman, after all, she could not live in the palace, and finally she became a victim of the political field.
Entering the palace was not her choice, and being loved by the three brothers was not something she could decide, but Yongzheng resolutely executed her in order to cover up this scandal. From her ending, it is not difficult for us to see the epitome of those concubines who were forced to die by the times and court rules, so did this Ying gui really appear in Yongzheng's harem? Let's find the answer together.
Flipping through the "Qing History Draft", we did not see the Ying Guiren, but there was a Yinggui in Yongzheng's harem who promised, would she be the Ying Gui that we wanted to know? There is not much information about Ying's promise, where she was born, and in what year she entered the palace, the historian did not record it, but she left a crucial message in history, that is, her name was Lan Ying.
Friends who have read the history of the Qing Dynasty should find a rule, the names of ancient women are generally not declared, the annals of history will only record their surnames, do not remember the names, their real maiden names will not be known to anyone else except those around them at that time, so why is the name of this Ying promised to be completely preserved? Could it be that Yongzheng loves her very much? If she was really flattered, why did she stop at agreeing to such a low-level score?
In addition to her, there was another concubine who also had a name, and she was Yun Hui. This Yun Hui's grade is even lower than Ying Promised, for an official woman, what is an official woman? This means that she is still a palace girl, and at the same time she also has to serve the emperor, which is equivalent to the general servant of a large household in the folk language, not even a concubine, no right to speak and status, and it is a level that everyone looks down upon.
They have two things in common, the first is that they have all left their names, and the second is that their position is not high, what role do they play in the Yongzheng harem? Is it true that the death of Ying Guiren in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" is true? Did Ying Gui and Yun Hui really do something wrong that insulted the face of the imperial family, and the emperor did not let the historian record their lives in order to prevent this matter from spreading?
There are still too many mysteries to be unearthed about the past, and perhaps the answers to these questions will only be known until experts continue to dig and further explore. The information we can get now is very empty, and we don't even know Lan Ying's birth and death years, so there is much more history to know.
