The concubines of the Qianlong Emperor, but anyone who has seen the Qing Palace drama, can break their hands and count several. Qianlong's favorite woman in his life was the original empress Fucha, and other favored concubines, said to always ling concubines Wei Jiashi, Rong Concubine (Xiang Concubine) and Zhuo Shi. However, Qianlong actually had another woman of the Fucha clan by his side, but she had died before Qianlong ascended the throne, and her name was only a concubine.
This woman was the Noble Concubine of emperor Zhe Mercy. Qianlong died in 1799 and was buried in Yuling. In his underground palace, the women who were buried together were Empress Xiaoxian Chun and Empress Xiaoyi Chun (Ling Concubine), and three concubines, Huixian Emperor Guifei (Noble Concubine), Emperor Zhe Mercy, and Shujia Emperor Guifei. Among them, The Noble Concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor was the only one who had not stayed in the Qianlong Harem.
Although The Noble Concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor was also surnamed Fucha, she had no relationship with Empress Fucha, and the two were born in a very different place. Empress Fucha was a Manchurian yellow flag bearer, an aristocratic woman, and the yellow flag was the first of the "Three Banners"; while the Noble Concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor was a person under the collar of the Yellow Banner, that is, a Xinzhiku person, whose status was much lower than that of Empress Fucha's family, and she experienced the draft in the early years of Yongzheng.
Yongzheng chose her as the handmaiden of the Four Brothers, also known as Gege. Because of her low birth, let alone to be a concubine Fujin, even if she was a concubine of the Emperor Zhe mercy of the side Fujin, she was not qualified, so she entered the Hongli Mansion shortly after Yongzheng ascended the throne, just to let the crown prince know about personnel affairs (Hongli was 12 years old at the time) and had concubines to take care of. However, Emperor Zhe mercy gave birth to Qianlong's first child.
In May of the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), The Noble Concubine of the Emperor Zhe Mercy gave birth to Qianlong's eldest son, Ai Xin Jueluo Yong huang. In October of the same year, Fu cha concubine Fujin, who entered the palace later than Emperor Zhe mercy but was much more favored than her, also gave birth to Qianlong's eldest daughter. The son of Emperor Zhe mercy's concubine grew up, and Fucha's daughter Fu jin died at a very young age, but the fate of Yong Huang's life was deeply influenced by Empress Fucha.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Qianlong naturally hoped that Yong Huang could set an example for many of his younger brothers, although it was not necessary to make Yong Huang the crown prince, but his expectations of Yong Huang were only high. Unfortunately, Yong Huang's mother, Emperor Zhe mercy, died when he was 7 years old, exactly two months before Qianlong ascended the throne. Yong Huang lost his mother, had no one to rely on, and his life in the palace was difficult step by step.
But in the end, he was qianlong's eldest son, in order to make his son's face passable, Qianlong ascended the throne two years after he issued an edict, posthumously named the concubine Fu Chashi who died early as a concubine of The Zhe, and in the tenth year of Qianlong, because the Fucha clan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, he issued another edict posthumously named her as the noble concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor. Although his mother was honored after his death, Yong Huang's life underwent a major change in the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748).
In this year, Qianlong experienced the pain of losing his wife, and Empress Fucha died of illness on the way out to accompany him on the tour. During the period of Empress Fucha's death, Qianlong was in a state of emotional instability for a long time, not only making many exceptions for Empress Fucha's funeral, but also requiring all the princes and concubines of the former imperial harem to express sorrow for the collapse of the empress, and not allow any disrespect.
Yong Huang was the eldest son of the Emperor, after the death of Empress Fucha, he was ordered to greet the funeral with his third brother Yongzhang, this year Yong Huang was only 20 years old, still a half-eldest child who did not fully understand the world, and Empress Fucha was not his mother, and usually the two were not close, Yong Huang was difficult to show the appearance of mourning and weeping, so he was severely reprimanded by the Qianlong Emperor.
Qianlong hinted in public that he would not consider Li Yonghuan as crown prince in the future. Yong Huang not only lost his qualification to be crown prince, but also lost the favor of his father and emperor, he was cold-eyed, he was afraid and sad, and by the fifteenth year of Qianlong, he was depressed and died early, Qianlong deeply regretted it, but it was irretrievable, so he posthumously named him prince, and ordered yong Huang's birth mother, Emperor Zhe Mercy, to be buried in Yuling, Qianlong did not love this Fucha clan, and his approach was only out of guilt for the mother and son.
