In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, there was a very strict system, and the relationship between the emperor and the concubines was not as beautiful as we imagined, but there were exceptions to everything, and during the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong gave his own Fucha Empress some special treatment. In fact, when it comes to Empress Fucha, we are not strangers, after all, in the relatively popular Qing Palace dramas in recent years, there is the existence of this character.
Especially in the TV series Of Yanxi Raiders, Empress Fucha left the image of white moonlight in everyone's hearts, and the Qianlong Emperor also loved her deeply. According to our historical point of view, she was indeed an important woman in Qianlong's heart. According to historical records, the Fucha clan was the yellow flag of Manchuria, and her family was a very prominent branch in the entire Fucha family, and the family members were important officials of the imperial court from the time of the Kangxi Dynasty, so it was very appropriate for her to marry the future emperor.
She married Hongli at the age of 15 and became the original concubine fujin of Qianlong, and we can also see from the portraits handed down from history that Empress Fucha was very outstanding in appearance, and most importantly, her virtue was enough to become a model for the whole world. It is said that although she is an empress, she has always advocated frugality, dresses very plainly on weekdays, and does not often match single jewelry, often using flowers and plants to decorate herself.
Of course, her love for Qianlong is also a lesson from heaven and earth, it is said that once Qianlong suffered from a relatively serious scabies, the doctor said that it would take about a hundred days to cure, in order to be able to take good care of the emperor, she moved to live outside the Yangxin Hall, until Qianlong's illness was cured, she returned to her own palace. Such a virtuous and sensible empress, which emperor would not love? However, although the Fucha clan was very happy in love, the heavens were very cruel to her in terms of heirs.
She gave birth to a total of four children, two sons and two daughters, but it is a pity that of these four children, only the three daughters of Huang, Gu Lun and Princess Jing, survived, while all the other children died prematurely, which is a very cruel thing for a mother, especially the successive deaths of two concubines, which is a great blow to her, which is also an important reason for her early death. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, Empress Xiaoxian died in Dezhou, Shandong.
In fact, there are many theories about the reason for Empress Xiaoxian's death, one of which is that she fell into the water and died. Because at that time, it was rumored in the palace that Qianlong and Fu Heng's wife had an unclear relationship, and after Empress Fucha knew about it, she was forced to fall into the water by Qianlong and died, and in order to make up for her mistakes, Qianlong solemnly buried the empress. However, this matter has not been confirmed, because in some wild histories, it is recorded that there was a concubine who fell into the water and died in the harem of Qianlong, perhaps it is said that Empress Fucha died in the water, which is a bit of a feeling of Zhang Guan Li Dai.
Therefore, as for how Empress Xiaoxian died, we don't know, but it is more likely that she died of illness. After her death, Qianlong was very sad, held a very solemn funeral for her, and also stopped her spirit in the Jingshan Guande Hall, where the emperor stopped the spirit, and Qianlong gave empress Xiaoxian the treatment of the emperor, which was in Qianlong's harem, and only she enjoyed this treatment.
