In ancient China, most of the status of women are very low, and under the constraints of feudal thought, women can not participate in elections, can not go out to do business, women want to get ahead of the only way is to rely on their husbands, if you marry the right husband, then you may be very happy in this life, although you can not judge whether your other half will let you live a happy life in the future, but there is a family that is recognized to let many women marry like the past, that is, the royal family.
Entering the palace to become the emperor's concubine, I believe that many women have fantasized, but this is not every woman can have a chance, can enter the palace to be favored by the emperor's concubines can be said to be very lucky, but once a famous woman was luckier than those concubines, originally just a princess's reading ring, but was recruited by Qianlong as a daughter-in-law, and later became an empress for 54 years.
This person was Empress Xiaoherui. She was also the child of the Niuhulu family, which had given birth to many roles such as empress dowagers, but when Empress Xiaoherui was born, the family declined and the family was not rich. The ten princesses in the palace slowly grew up, and later the emperor wanted to find a companion for the ten princesses, and selected the Niu Hulu clan in the election. Later, when the crown prince Was of marriage, the Niu Hulu clan gained favor with his appearance and talent, and was named a side Fujin, and later after the succession of the emperor, the Niu Hulu clan also became a noble concubine second only to the empress.
Fortunately, the original empress died of illness a year later, and Niu Hulu became the second empress of Jiaqing, known in history as "Empress Xiaoherui", and Empress Xiaoherui was kind and cared for the children of other concubines in the harem. Later, the Jiaqing Emperor unfortunately died, and did not even announce who would succeed to the throne, but there was a secret habit of establishing a crown prince in the palace, and at this time, it was very simple for Empress Xiaoherui to make her son emperor, but she did not do so, but announced Min Ning's succession to the throne according to the secret will, that is, the later "Daoguang Emperor". Because of the selfless actions of the NiuHulu clan, the Daoguang Emperor was greatly admired, so the Niuhulu clan was honored as the empress dowager, and still in charge of the harem. In the 29th year of Daoguang, Niu Hulu died of an unfortunate illness at the age of 74.
