During the Qing Dynasty, there was a rule that as long as women aged 13 to 16 years old were required to participate in the draft, they had to be selected by the emperor before they could marry themselves. And it is precisely for this reason that there are often old husbands and young wives in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Today we are going to talk about the same concubine, who entered the palace at the age of 15, and the emperor at that time was already as old as 55 years old. After she entered the palace, the signs were all turned over, and she herself was very angry, and gave birth to children for the emperor one after another. And what is even more worth mentioning is that the child of this concubine did not become emperor, but the grandson and great-grandson were both emperors.
This concubine was the last favorite concubine of the Daoguang period, the noble concubine of the Zhuangshun Emperor Wu Yashi. When it comes to the surname of Wuya, I believe many people will think of another concubine, that is, Yongzheng's mother, Princess De. It can be said that he is the highest woman in the Uya family, and today we are going to talk about the same woman from the Uya clan, but the two of them are far apart. The Concubine of The Zhuang Shun Emperor was born in the second year of Daoguang, and Daoguang ascended the throne as emperor in his prime. By the time Daoguang was 17 years old, Daoguang had become a half-old man. And Uyashi is also becoming a showgirl at this time, and finally with her outstanding posture, she became the only show girl selected.
Perhaps it was because of the old husband and young wife that the emperor seemed unable to refuse this little Lolita. It was also in this way that after Wu Yashi entered the imperial palace, the Daoguang Emperor often flipped her brand and was also extremely fond of her. However, the good times were not long, wu ya clan was demoted to Chang zai because of a careless transgression that offended the Daoguang Emperor. Generally speaking, after falling out of favor, the concubines were basically powerless, but the Uya clan was different, and after only two years had passed, the Daoguang Emperor remembered her and re-made him a nobleman. It is precisely because the emperor has been constantly favoring her, so the Uya clan has also given birth to 4 children in succession, three of which are princes.
The Daoguang Emperor was also very happy about this, so he promoted the Wuya clan to a noble concubine. Finally, the Uya clan completed his life in the 5th year of Tongzhi at the age of 45, and the Uya clan was also given the title of Princess Zhuangshun. We also know that the Daoguang Emperor eventually passed the throne to the Xianfeng Emperor, but the Xianfeng Emperor did not have many heirs, only the Tongzhi Emperor. But the Tongzhi Emperor died young, leaving no children behind. Cixi, on the other hand, selected Guangxu as the new emperor among the clans, and the Guangxu Emperor was the grandson of Wu Yashi. Later, the guangxu emperor's child, the last emperor Puyi, was also the great-grandson of the Wuya clan, so although the son of the Wuya clan did not become emperor, his grandson and great-grandson became the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.
