One day in September 1953, in a dilapidated and cramped house in a small, dilapidated hutong in Beijing's Xicheng District, the family was running a white business.
And the deceased person, this is the hostess of this family, Fu Yufang, her age will always stay in the year of 44 years old.
To outsiders, this is a funeral that can no longer be ordinary.
It is only because the husband and wife are very kind to the neighbors on weekdays that many neighbors will come to participate.
In addition to lamenting Fu Yufang's untimely death, there are also lamentations that she has not been able to get a son and a half daughter in her life.
However, everyone present did not expect that there was a big secret buried behind Fu Yufang.
When he thought of the secret that his wife revealed to himself at the time of his death, Liu Zhendong felt a little confused.
He had never thought that his wife, who had been sleeping with him for decades, was once the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty!
Although the Qing Dynasty is over, the idea of imperial power is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the common people.
Marrying an imperial concubine was something that Liu Zhendong really didn't dare to think about.
So maybe some friends will wonder why there were still Imperial Princesses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1953.
In fact, Fu Yufang did not deceive her husband, she was indeed an imperial concubine of the Eight Classics, not only that, her rank was quite high, but she was the concubine of Emperor Xuantong.
Fu Yufang was the Chinese name she gave herself, and before that, her name was Erdetewen embroidery.
In 1909, Wen Xiu was born in Beijing to an ordinary Mongolian family.
In the ancestors of Wen embroidery, they are also famous nobles of the Mongolian ethnic group, and the Erdete clan has also had a glorious history.
However, in the generation of Wen Xiu, the entire family inevitably went down.
When Wen Xiu was born, the Qing Dynasty had already begun to decline.
The Qing government's self-protection was not enough, let alone to relieve these fallen nobles!
Therefore, after the death of Wenxiu's father, the mother had to go out to work for people in order to support her three children.
Wenxiu's mother is very fond of her children, and even if she lives in poverty, she still does not deprive them of their right to education.
Wen embroidery is also very contentious, not only proficient in poetry and song, but also has a fairly good view of the current politics of the dynasty.
In 1921, the 12-year-old Wen Xiu was placed on the list of candidates for the Empress of the Qing Dynasty because he was born into a famous and prestigious family.
There must be friends who are curious to see here, didn't the Qing Dynasty perish as early as 1912?
So, why choose the Empress of the Qing Dynasty?
In fact, after Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the revolution, the Republic of China government signed relevant documents with the Qing government.
According to the relevant regulations in the document, Puyi can still enjoy a carefree and prosperous life in the Forbidden City as the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty.
This year, Puyi was 15 years old.
According to the rules of the Manchu Imperial Family, the emperor was required to hold a big wedding ceremony with his wife during the year.
In this way, a group of Manchu Qing widows began to look for a candidate for the empress.
All the criteria for selection are carried out in accordance with the standards of the past royal selection of showgirls.
Therefore, even if Wen Xiu's appearance is not outstanding, because her origin and talent are very good, she is also put on the candidate list of empresses.
From the very beginning, Puyi was not concerned about the matter of choosing a concubine, and the reason why she chose Wenxiu was just a casual finger.
However, the concubines considered that The Wenxiu family was poor and could not bear the heavy responsibility of the mother's world, so they consulted with the ministers of the interior and let the Wanrong of the Guo Buluo family become the empress, and Wenxiu was named a lady concubine.
In this way, in November 1922, Wen Xiu entered the harem as a concubine of the Xuantong Emperor.
This year, Wen Xiu had just turned 14 years old.
Later, after a period of getting along, Wen Xiu completely lost her expectations for this marriage.
Although the two also had a sweet time for a while, with the continuous turmoil of the situation, Puyi's temper became worse and worse, and Wen Xiu also suffered many senseless disasters.
Since ancient times, where there are women, there are battlefields, even if in Puyi's harem, there are only two women, Wanrong and Wenxiu, but it is impossible to avoid two women being jealous of a man.
In this contest, Wen Xiu was the first to lose.
In 1924, Feng Yuxiang staged a coup d'état in Beijing, and Puyi and her family members were expelled from the Forbidden City.
Although Puyi took a large amount of gold and silver jewelry when she left, she was always unwilling to live a life of ordinary rich.
Later, under the charm of Zheng Xiaoxu, Puyi chose to defect to the Japanese.
For Puyi's choice, Wen Xiu is resolutely opposed.
In Wen Xiu's view, such an approach is tantamount to casting a net.
However, Puyi refused to give up, and she wanted to become a noble emperor again.
In desperation, Wen Xiu had to choose to leave.
One day in 1931, Wen Xiu quietly said goodbye.
As a former imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the great righteousness of the family and the country, Wen Xiu willingly gave up her glory and wealth, and only wished to keep herself clean.
I have to say that Wen Xiu's move is really admirable.
Later, after being introduced by colleagues, Wen Xiu became acquainted with Liu Zhendong, an officer of the Nationalist Army.
Soon after, the two happily entered the palace of marriage.
Although later because of politics, Liu Zhendong was repeatedly suppressed, and finally he was only assigned a cleaner's position.
But thankfully, since then, Wenxiu has finally lived an ordinary and happy life.
