We all know that the status of women in ancient times was very low, and if they wanted to obtain a certain status, they could only rely on the powerful men at that time, so at that time, the emperor became the dream marriage object of women, if they could enter the palace to give birth to the royal family, then not only did they not have to worry about eating and wearing in the future, but even the family would follow the light.
The woman we want to talk about today, she can say that she has a happy life, entered the palace at the age of 15 and married the emperor who was 40 years older than herself, although the age difference is very large, but it is very favored, 8 years gave birth to 5 children, and then the emperor died, she was widowed at the age of 28, and watched her grandson ascend to the throne, she is Daoguang's concubine Wu Yashi.
The Wuya family itself is very prominent, but unfortunately to the father's generation gradually declined, when as long as it is the Eight Flags women to participate in the palace draft, so she entered the palace through the draft, that year she was 15 years old, but Daoguang was 56 years old at the time, which can be said to be a grandfather and grandson in modern times.
Wu Yashi was not favored when he first entered the palace, the emperor did not notice her for two years, knowing that he was 17 years old before he realized her existence, which was spoiled and named Lin Guiren, and then she was pregnant with the imperial heir, Daoguang knew that he was very happy, directly promoted to Lin Concubine, in the same year she gave birth to her first son, that is, the seventh son of the emperor, the birth of the prince means that she can enjoy better treatment, the emperor promoted it to Lin Concubine at that time, such a promotion speed is still rare in the harem.
Many princes were forgotten by the emperor after being favored for a period of time, but the Uya clan did not, but instead gave birth to 5 children for the emperor in 8 years, and the status of the general harem woman was judged by the children under the knee, so it seemed that the Uya clan was very favored. Unfortunately, the last child died prematurely at birth and was not saved. At that time, Daoguang was already in his sixties.
At the time of the emperor's death, Uya was only 28 years old, and he was widowed for the emperor at a young age, which was really pitiful. Although there was no emperor to accompany her later, but there were children to spend the rest of their lives with themselves, life was not too boring, and later after Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, the concubines of the first empress palace were all canonized once, she was honored as a noble concubine, respected by the emperor, and her descendants were also very contentious, and there were two emperors, namely the seventh son and the second son of the emperor, that is, the later Guangxu and Puyi.
I have to say that Wu Yashi was very lucky in this life, although he entered the palace at a young age, he was able to gain the love of the emperor and give birth to a prince for the imperial family, and finally cultivated two generations of emperors, which is also a legendary life.
