The princesses who grew up in the palace were all noble people, and they had everything that ordinary people envied from birth. However, after understanding the history, you will find that the fate of most princesses is very helpless. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poor princess who lived a life of captivity from an early age because of her special father's status. Later, when she finally had her first day, she was also named a righteous daughter by Yongzheng, and I thought that a good day had come, but I did not expect that behind this decision, there was actually a political purpose hidden.
She was Princess Shuo Shushen, originally born in the palace, she should not have lived a hard life, but her father was the crown prince Yin Rong at that time, when Princess Shuo Shushen was just born, the prince was very happy, but it was not long before Yin Rong was abolished. Overnight, everything changed, and after the first incident of deposing the prince, Yin Rong had a sense of fear, although he was later made the prince again, but within a few years, Yin Rong fell again, and after this downfall, Yin Rong was completely finished.
Kangxi was very disappointed in the deposed crown prince Yinrong at that time, and at this time, Yinrong was thinking not about being a prince, but how to save his own life and his family's life. It can be said that Princess Shuo Shushen did not live a good life for a few days in her childhood, and when she was five years old, when Yin Rong was deposed for the second time, the whole family fell to the bottom, and then for a full ten years, Yin Rong and his wife and children lived a sullen life all day, and the little Princess Shuo Shu Shen was also monitored without any freedom.
Later, when the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, the life of the Yin rong family improved, and it was at this time that Princess Shuo Shushen was made a righteous daughter by the Yongzheng Emperor. In fact, being the emperor's righteous daughter has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that she has a good reputation, and the disadvantage is that she will become a political tool of the Yongzheng Emperor in the future. Sure enough, when Princess Shuoshushen was nineteen years old, she was sent to Mongolia to make peace, and from then on, Princess Shuoshushen could never return to the capital and lived in a strange Mongolia for the rest of her life.
Princess Shuoshushen's life was still very difficult after marrying Mongolia, because her husband died very early, and princess Shuoshushen became a widow within a few years of marriage. At this time, Princess Shuoshushen had no one to rely on, and she could not return to the capital, but could only live in Mongolia all the time. Poor Princess Shuo Shushen was only twenty-seven years old when she lost her husband, and then she was widowed for fifty years, and princess Shuo Shushen died during the Qianlong period. Although Princess Shuoshushen lived a long life, her fate was very tragic, and her life was full of helplessness and bitterness, which can also be seen as a microcosm of the lives of ancient princesses.
