The empress should be the woman with the highest power in the harem, but she is only glorious on the day she was crowned empress, and after that, although there was a short period of happiness, but in a chaotic world, happiness is ultimately short-lived, known as the last empress of the wanrong, is the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty Puyi's empress. Speaking of the empresses of the past dynasties, no matter whether the final outcome is to be beaten into the cold palace, or to die lonely in the high-walled courtyard, or to be fortunate to be able to love the emperor for a lifetime, but to be able to sit in the position of the empress, they will be admired by thousands of people, enjoy the glory and wealth and the respect of everyone, otherwise there will not be many concubines in various palace fighting dramas who want to ascend to the throne of the empress with all their hearts and means.
The last empress Wanrong mentioned by the author today is different from the previous empresses, she did not hold all kinds of rights, nor was she admired by thousands of people; not only did she not enjoy the glory and wealth and due treatment, but finally at the end of her life, she also failed to leave safely.
Guo Buluo Wanrong, her father was the minister of internal affairs at that time, the family is prominent, born in such a family at that time, it should be a great blessing, if she did not enter the palace to become an empress, perhaps Wanrong's life would be carefree and happy and leisurely to spend, in her childhood, after a good education, it looks like an impression of everyone's beautiful appearance, pavilion, versatile, and literary. The 16-year-old WanRong, cardamom years old, was selected as puyi's empress. Wanrong may not have dreamed that this would be the starting point of his tragic life, although how solemn the ceremony at the time of the sealing and how luxurious the dress of the phoenix crown Xia Shuai were, could not stop the misery of Wanrong in the later period.
WanRong with a heart of expectation entered the palace, originally thought that she would get Puyi's favor, but the reality is often not satisfactory, when she first entered the palace, the two people got along quite harmoniously, respecting each other as guests, Qinser and Ming, it is also considered happy and happy, but the happy days are not long, less than two years, they encountered "social changes", Puyi was forced to leave the Forbidden City where he had lived for generations, Wanrong could only leave with Puyi, opening a "turbulent and displaced" life, and later, Puyi and his party went to Tianjin Jingyuan.
In fact, in that period, women like Wanrong, who had received a better education, also came into contact with many foreigners, and the life of being held in captivity was not suitable for her, and Wanrong, who was forced to leave the palace, was not very depressed, but like a bird released in a cage, she was suddenly free. When they moved out of the palace, they brought out a lot of rare treasures, which allowed them to squander it, and not only took off the graceful and cumbersome court clothes, but also changed into the very novel cheongsam and high-heeled leather shoes at that time, but also went to the foreigner's barber shop to perm their hair.
In Wanrong is still immersed in the joy of free life in the palace, Puyi, who shares a bed, still has his dream of restoration, for this reason, Puyi and the Japanese maintain close contact and plot a grand plan, and Wenxiu, who is also an imperial concubine, does not agree with Puyi's ideas, and has been advising Puyi, mentioning Wenxiu, who is also a leader among women in that era. Because Puyi's deafness, Wen xiu made a surprising decision, she wanted to divorce Puyi, and published a report to the world, in the end, Wenxiu successfully dissolved the marriage relationship with Puyi, as an emperor of the dynasty, was dissolved by his own concubines, which was a very humiliating thing for Puyi, after which his temperament changed greatly, the treatment of Wanrong was not as gentle as before, the sudden change made Wanrong overwhelmed, and then Puyi also instigated Wanrong to smoke "big smoke", which also became an important turning point in Wanrong's life.
At the same time, the husband and wife life of Wanrong and Puyi is not harmonious, as we all know, Puyi can not do what a normal man can do, so the marriage between Wanrong and Puyi is not happy, Puyi, whether psychologically or physically, did not meet Wanrong's needs, did not give her enough love and care. After that, there were rumors that Wanrong was "unruly" and had an affair with the guards around her, and it was not so surprising to think about it, after all, Wanrong, who was 30 years old at this time, did not get the man's "pity" for a long time, plus Puyi had been transforming the shame of Wenxiu and his divorce into hatred imposed on Wanrong, and her attitude was indifferent, so Wanrong eventually mixed with her own bodyguards, and these Puyi did not know, until a few months later, Wanrong found herself pregnant, but the strange thing is that Puyi has no fertility So the child's life is self-evident.
After Puyi knew, he was furious, but still based on his reputation and the obstruction of the Japanese, he forgave the bodyguard, after all, the emperor at this time was no longer the emperor in the true sense, there was no monstrous power, Puyi also gave the guard a large amount of money, let him leave the Jingyuan, later, it is said that the guard became a rich man with this money. Puyi ostensibly promised Wanrong that the child would be well raised when it was born, but how could the emperor tolerate his empress giving birth to someone else's child, turn around and throw the newly born child into the boiler and burn it alive, so Wanrong Si became crazy, smoked "big smoke" all day, and her spirit was even more abnormal, and like her name, the original gentle and jade-like woman became a moody madman.
The wheel of the times continued to crush, and did not let go of this poor and miserable woman, Puyi's dream of restoring the country was shattered, leaving everything to flee alone, and the wanrong who had not been able to enter Puyi's eyes was naturally the one who was thrown down, the long-term indifferent attitude, the guards' surveillance of her various behaviors, the tragic death of her daughter who had just been born and had time to appreciate the world, and the sequelae of long-term smoking of "big smoke", all of this made the already fragile Wanrong become more crazy, the whole person was skinny, the eyes were empty, and lost the former brilliance. Wanrong, who was thrown down, was sent to prison, where there was no "big smoke" for her to smoke, and the demand for "big smoke" had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, she could not bear to live without "big smoke", and when the addiction was onset, she could not alleviate it, and could only let herself go crazy, rolling on the ground, dirty and messy, and the former Wanrong, who was wearing a phoenix crown and standing on the main hall of the Forbidden City, was in stark contrast.
In the end, the lonely and miserable WanRong ended her life in this messy and dirty prison, no one knows when she died, no one knows that she is full of despair for the world, peaceful death or unwilling, painful death, no one to deal with the aftermath for her, should have been exuberant, but in the end no one cared, perhaps she also regretted that she did not wake up in time like Wen Xiu, terminate this nominal marriage in time, and may be able to save herself from the water and fire, unfortunately, it is too late, The humble coffin became her final destination. The life of a generation of queens is so tragic and lamentable.
