"The white-headed palace girl is here, lonely said Xuanzong"
This poem comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Shu, which will be the lonely life of women in the deep palace, it can be said that from a few words, people can feel the helplessness of the women in the deep palace, waiting for the emperor to be pampered and waiting for the loneliness of the hair to be white.
preface
In feudal society, women are all appendages of men, so men have many concubines, and there are not too few women in the emperor's harem, so the harem competition for favors is also often happening. but
Some people like to compete for favors, and some people have a personality that is not in contention, like the Yongzheng Emperor's Ma Changzai is such a special case.
Yongzheng entered the palace in seven years
The Yongzheng Emperor's sense of existence was very weak, which had a lot to do with her own personality. The Yongzheng Emperor was a workaholic, in fact, he rarely went to the harem, and the concubines were much less than his father and son, and this horse was often drafted into the palace in the seventh year of Yongzheng.
At that time, the emperor needed to fill the harem, the main reason was nothing more than to open up branches and leaves for the royal family, although Yongzheng was not addicted to female sex, but the task of having children still had to be completed.
In this year's draft, this Ma clan was favored by the emperor, and after entering the palace, he became the horse of the Yongzheng Emperor.
It was quickly forgotten by Yongzheng
Ma promised to enter the palace with a very low score, which had a lot to do with her low birth, and her father was not a high official, so Ma promised no status in the harem. However, she was very beautiful and intelligent, so when she first entered the palace, Yongzheng was also pampered for a period of time, and in the second year of entering the palace, she was rewarded with the title of Ma Changzai.
There are concubines in the harem that Yongzheng loves very much, and Yongzheng is busy with political affairs, and the harem is also less, but Nian Concubine has always been a concubine that Yongzheng loves very much, so gradually Yongzheng will forget this horse.
Most people would find a way to get the emperor's favor, but Ma Changzai didn't seem to care about grace, and Yongzheng forgot about her and that she had a good life.
He lived until 33 years in Qianlong
After Yongzheng's death, although Yongzheng was not favored and had no heirs before his death, the Qianlong Emperor was still good to these female relatives left by his father, and all of them moved to Shoukang Palace to raise heavenly years, and the silver of this horse changing in the Qianlong Dynasty was also grown twice in the Qianlong Dynasty, which shows that Qianlong is still good to this concubine.
Ma Chang has always been such a light and breezy personality, in the Yongzheng Dynasty can not be favored can also live a good life, after the widowhood of her life is not much impact, Ma promised to live until 33 years in Qianlong, after his death according to the rules of the palace Ma Changzai's coffin temporarily placed in the Tamura Funeral Palace, waiting to choose a time to bury.
However, due to negligence, it was discovered by the Qianlong Emperor 7 years later that it was still not buried, which caused the emperor's anger.
summary
In the end, the Qianlong Emperor punished those officials who were unfavorable, and Ma Chang was buried 7 years after his death. Some people think that this horse promised misfortune,
When he entered the palace at a young age, he was not favored, first he was a widow, and then the emperor died and remained a widow for 33 years
Although it is not a high life, but when she dies, she is also the end of her life, and she herself does not like to compete for favors, perhaps this is the blessing of the horse promise.
