In the ancient feudal society of our country, the status of women was very low, but if they were reincarnated in the palace, it would be different, not only from a lifetime of people to serve, this life do not have to worry about eating and drinking. But in the Qing Dynasty, there was such a princess, who was burned by the emperor's order not long after birth.
Generally speaking, the concubine of the harem can sit in the position of the imperial concubine, indicating that she is very popular with the emperor. It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, ruling out the possibility of the mother falling out of favor and being burned to death, why the emperor would do such a thing, today we will talk about it.
Presumably everyone has heard of the famous San Francisco Rebellion, this rebellion made Kangxi think about tea and dinner, so when the successful reports appeared repeatedly, the emperor was happier than when he first got rid of Aobai, in order to celebrate the victory of this matter, he decided to promote the concubines of the harem to a wide range of promotions, Niu Cobalt Lu was promoted to empress, and Tong was named a noble concubine.
But one thing is very strange, I don't know why, the empresses of Kangxi generally died early, including the newly promoted Niu Cobalt Lu clan also died at a young age. But the harem could not be without a manager, so Tong was fortunate to have the power to manage the harem, but at that time it was unruly to let a noble concubine manage the harem, so the emperor named her an imperial concubine.
Then everyone will wonder, why not just give her a queen to do it? In fact, because the emperor liked her too much, Kangxi thought that the death of the empress was likely to be related to him, what if Tong Shi died not long after becoming empress? Kangxi did not dare to risk losing her, so he always made her an imperial concubine and did not promote her to empress.
Later, not long after she became an imperial concubine, the voice of a newborn came from Tong's bedchamber, and a lively and cute little princess was born, and according to the order, she was the eighth daughter of the Kangxi Emperor. Although she was a daughter, Tong was not unhappy because of this. Unexpectedly, the child died 24 days after birth.
The reason may be related to the marriage of close relatives, everyone knows that at that time, the Qing Dynasty would choose to marry people who were related to their own blood in order to be pure in blood, and the result of this was that the children born were very easy to die, and the ancient medical level was very low, so even the most learned imperial doctor in the court did not know this physiological knowledge.
When the princess died, the emperor was out, after receiving the news, he immediately sent someone to quietly get the eighth daughter of the emperor to be burned outside the palace, the emperor and the Tong family have such a deep affection, why would they be so cruel to their own daughter, in fact, this is because there were rules in ancient times, only people with such a position as the empress, children are eligible to be buried, the status of the eighth daughter of the emperor is not enough, it can only be cremated. In fact, it is not the emperor who is cruel, but just obeys the rules.
