The biggest duty of the harem concubines is to pass on the inheritance of the royal family, and to be able to give birth to a son's status can suddenly have a qualitative leap. However, there are many sons and daughters of the emperor, and among these descendants, some of them have been hurt by the emperor from childhood to adulthood, and some have been neglected and snubbed. Today we will talk about one of Qianlong's most beloved young daughters, Gu Lun and Princess Xiaoxiao.
Qianlong was amorous in his life, there were many harem beauties, and there were also many children born naturally. When Qianlong was 64 years old, he was overjoyed, that is, Princess Hexiao, and Princess Xiaoxiao's birth mother Wang Shi transformed from a concubine to a concubine. And Qianlong, who is over sixty years old, has a son, especially looking forward to the little princess for a long time, and it is not difficult to see from the promotion of the Wang family that this little daughter is more loved by Qianlong than having a son.
Therefore, Princess Xiaoxiao has been loved by her father since she was a child, and naturally has been well cultivated, not only allowing her to read and write, learning cultural lessons, but also with Princess Xiaoxiao's personality since childhood, Qianlong always takes her to hunt on horseback, archery and practice bows, etc., and Xiaoxiao can shoot targets at a young age, and whenever she sees her daughter riding and hunting, Qianlong can always see what she looked like when she was young, and she loves this little princess even more.
In his later years, Qianlong could easily become angry, and if the ministers, concubines, or princes made a mistake and angered the emperor, they would all invite them to rescue the soldiers, that is, Princess Hexiao, as long as this little princess interceded in front of Qianlong and lied, Qianlong would immediately be discouraged.
So favored by the emperor, Princess Hexiao did not have a pampering and proud, but her birth mother made a human life, and the emperor's favor for her daughter was killed, because of a small matter, she beat an innocent palace maid to death, innocently killing people in the palace, Qianlong was extremely angry after knowing it, and this behavior was simply disregarding the dignity of the royal family. Originally, Qianlong was going to severely punish Concubine Huan, but thinking of Princess Hexiao and fearing that it would affect her future in the future, Qianlong only demoted Concubine Huan to Concubine Huan, and at that time, Hexiao was not yet three years old and handed over to Concubine Rong to raise.
However, not long after, HeXiao couldn't see his birth mother, he cried and made trouble every day, and people lost a lot of weight, and Qianlong had no choice but to send the little princess on the tip of his heart back to his birth mother's concubine. Qianlong always went to visit the little princess at the concubine's place, and after one or two, Qianlong actually restored the concubine rank of concubine, which shows how much Qianlong loved this little princess in his later years.
When Princess Hexiao was 5 years old, Qianlong chose a good family affair for her, that is, Qianlong's favorite courtier and the eldest son of Tianjue, and then gave the son-in-law the name Fengsheng Yinde, which means that he hopes that this son-in-law can stay rich and long, and also bring good luck to his daughter's life. When Princess Hexiao grew up to be 13 years old and reached the age when she could get married, the wedding preparation was very grand, and when she got married, she took a golden-roofed palanquin, which was generally only enjoyed by the daughter of the empress, and the title was changed to Gulun and Filial Piety.
After Qianlong's death, although he did not have the grace of the emperor, his brother Yongyan also loved his little sister very much. At that time, when he learned that his younger sister was going to marry Heyan's son, Yongyan, who had never liked Hezhen, did not eat for several days. When Yong Yan ascended the throne and became empress, the good days of the He Yan family came to an end, and He Yan was given death, but because He Yan's son was xiao mei's husband, Yong Yan did not want his sister to be widowed at a young age, so he spared him.
After the death of her husband, Gu Lun and Princess Xiao lived with their children, and Yong Yan's distressed sister tried to make up for her materially, and the family life was on par with the palace. Gu Lun and Princess Xiao died of illness during the Daoguang years, and the Daoguang Emperor not only buried his aunt, but also personally went to her mausoleum to pay homage, which was a unique courtesy.
The life of Gu Lun and Princess Xiao was loved and treated by her father, brother, and grandnephew, and was envied by many people. Her life, among Qianlong's many children, is the most fortunate and smooth, and the only misfortune may be to marry hezhen's son, which led to the suffering of the second half of her life. However, after all, it was personally chosen by her father, who was fond of her, and Gu Lun and Xiao Xiao could not refuse no matter what their mood was.
