History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker is a description of the traditional arranged marriage, as high as the royal family, low to the folk, most of them use this form of marriage, for example, the marriage of the qing dynasty prince is arranged by the emperor alone, not only designating the concubine Fujin or the side Fujin, but also rewarding a different number of handmaidens, these handmaidens will basically become the concubines of the prince, today the author is going to talk about the only concubine of the five brothers Yongqi.
For the five brothers Yongqi, I think everyone must be very familiar with it, this five brothers have shined in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", fully showing the characteristics of both culture and martial arts, in fact, the five brothers of history are indeed so. Although Yongqi's birth mother, The Kerryet clan, was of humble origin and was not favored for a long time, Yongqi became the best of Qianlong's many princes by her own efforts.
Historical records record that Yongqi once saved the life of his father Qianlong.
It was during the Dragon Boat Festival (the fifth day of the first month of May) in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong, Qianlong was in the Yuanmingyuan, and he did not expect that there was a fire in the Qingyan Hall in Kyushu, where he was located, and Yongqi disregarded the danger of his personal life and carried his father Qianlong out of the fire, and Qianlong could be said to have escaped a disaster. Through this incident, we can also see Yongqi's bravery and wisdom.
Logically, in the case of losing two concubines in a row, Qianlong should pass the throne to the best Yongqi, but in fact, Qianlong did not have this idea, and we can analyze it through Yongqi's marriage.
Yong Qi's concubine Fujin was the granddaughter of the university scholar Ortai, Xi linjue Luoshi, ortai was the big red man around Yongzheng, and Yongzheng was designated as an auxiliary government before his death, however, in the early years of Qianlong, Ortai engaged in a party struggle with Zhang Tingyu, another big red man around Yongzheng, which no emperor wanted to see.
After Qianlong's death from illness ten years later, Qianlong gradually suppressed the Xilin Jue Luo clan, and subsequently, the Xi Lin Jue Luo clan began to decline, if Qianlong took a fancy to Yong Qi, he would definitely not marry the Xi Lin Jue Luo clan to Yong Qi, and would definitely be the daughter of a family that Qianlong valued.
In addition to the Concubine Fujin Xilin Jue Luo clan, the Ai Xin Jue Luo genealogy also records a side Fujin and a concubine of Yongqi, and this side Fujin is the Suo Qi Luo clan.
Suo Qiluoshi is a clothed woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although she has the identity of the coat, but the family background is very unusual, this family is famous for entering the shi, and there is also a certain power in the dynasty, Soqi Luoshi's father Guan Bao has achieved the Zuo Du Yushi. Moreover, this Suo QiLuoshi is also Yongqi's favorite woman, she gave birth to four sons for Yongqi, but unfortunately only one survived, that is, the fifth son Mianyi. Mianyi is also the only surviving son of Yongqi.
Generally speaking, a concubine without childbirth could not be on the genealogy, but Yongqi's concubine Hu gave birth to a son and a daughter to Yongqi, and the son died at an early age, and the remaining one was Yongqi's only daughter. Yongqi died shortly after the birth of this daughter, she had been living in the court, and when she became an adult, she was made a county prince by Qianlong and then married to Mongolia.
Yong qi's title was prince Heshuorong, and his daughter should be made a county lord, but because of this, the daughter was born to the concubine Hu Shi, and was demoted two levels, only to be given the title of county prince.
It is worth mentioning that the Qing Palace archives also record another concubine of Yongqi, this concubine is called Rugege, she also died shortly after Yongqi's death, and it seems that she was also a person with a red face and a short life.
