She was Qianlong's most beloved daughter, and was not allowed to marry far away in her life, but she was kept in captivity by her father for 61 years
As the old saying goes, "He who loves others is also the one on his house." It means that because of loving a person, with the love of all the people and things associated with him. She was the most beloved daughter of Qianlong's life, and because she was reluctant to marry her, Qianlong did not even allow her to marry far away, and kept her in captivity for 61 years, enjoying all the glory and wealth, she was Princess Gulun and Jing.
So why did Qianlong have many children in his lifetime (17 princes and 10 princesses), so why did he favor Princess Gulun and Jing? It all started with her mother.
Empress Xiaoxianchun of the Fucha clan, the daughter of Li Rongbao, the governor of Chahar, married Qianlong, who was still a prince, as early as when she was 15 years old, and it was Qianlong's father Yongzheng who married them, and when he went to Li Rongbao's house, he fell in love with this little girl at a glance, thinking that she would become a generation of sages in the future, and he took the initiative on the spot and promised her to Hongli, and it turned out that Yongzheng's vision was very good.
On July 18, 1727, the Yongzheng Emperor personally held a grand wedding ceremony for Hongli and Fucha in the Forbidden City. People often say that the love of youth is the most unforgettable love, after the two became relatives, Hongli especially cherished his wife, always unwilling to leave her, as soon as he had time, he took the Fucha clan to the mountains and rivers, and also wrote down poems such as "Affectionately Win the Dream Soul", "Mountain Pavilion and Water Pavilion, and Walk in the Same Boat" and so on, recording the life of the husband and wife, envying others. Later, as soon as Hongli ascended the throne, he immediately made her empress.
Even after the death of Fu Chashi, Qianlong never forgot her, and even at the age of 87, he also wrote the sentence "Nine Imperial Xianbei, and called for emptiness", which means that even if there are three palaces and six courtyards, there are countless concubines, but facing them is like facing the void.
The so-called "love house and Wu", Qianlong who loves his wife so much, the children born to the Fucha clan are naturally also incomparably pampered, when the Fucha clan gave birth to the eldest son Yonglian, Qianlong made him the crown prince when the child was 6 years old, you must know that Qianlong was only 26 years old this year, if he did not love the Fucha clan to the extreme, how could he make a decision so early?
But it is regrettable that Yonglian died when he was 9 years old, fortunately, Fucha gave birth to another son, but at the age of 2, he also died, losing two children in succession, Fucha could no longer bear the blow, and he could not afford to be seriously ill, and soon after he died. Losing his beloved wife and son, why is Qianlong not grief-stricken?
But he could not be depressed, because behind him was the whole country, and with his reluctance for his wife, Qianlong transferred all his thoughts to another person,-Princess Gulun and Jing, the only surviving daughter of Qianlong and Fucha.
Princess Gulun and Jing, born in 1731, were loved by their parents from an early age and had an incomparably happy and happy childhood. But we all know that no matter how favored the princess is, it is difficult to escape the fate of marriage with relatives and politics, while the princesses of the Qing Dynasty are generally sent to Mongolia and relatives, and many princesses die early because they cannot adapt to life after they marry far away.
Qianlong was naturally reluctant to let his beloved daughter suffer this fate, so he chose a donkey for her early on, and made an exception to take the donkey to the palace, let him study with the princes, and when he got married in the future, he would directly marry the princess in the capital, and after marriage, he did not have to return to Mongolia, and made an exception to allow them to stay in the Capital Division, And Princess Gulun and Princess Jing were the only princesses in the Qing Dynasty who enjoyed such treatment, which shows how much Qianlong loved her.
Because he grew up with the donkey, so the two people have a particularly good relationship, after the big marriage is also harmonious, gave birth to 5 children, envious, for the children born to Gu Lun and Princess Jing, Qianlong is the same as "love the house and Wu", they are very fond of them, what delicious and fun are given to them. Once gulun and princess Jing celebrated their birthday, Qianlong even rewarded her with 5249 amulets at one time.
Under the protection of Qianlong, Princess Gulun and Princess Jing's life was smooth sailing, peaceful and peaceful, living for 61 years, and was qianlong's longest-lived daughter. If there is any "regret" in her life, I am afraid that she has not been able to leave her father and go to the outside world to see it.
