Throughout the ancient history of our country, we will find many popular love stories, but due to ideological reasons, most of these stories ended in tragedy. Even so, it has to be admitted that these stories reflect people's yearning for love.
Because of the concept of bondage, ancient marriages generally rely on parental designation, and free love did not exist at that time. This is the case among the people, and it is even more so in the court, I believe that there are many people who prefer to watch court dramas. Especially if the harem fight is very fierce.
As a woman around the emperor, she hopes to be favored and favored by the emperor, after all, the emperor is the most powerful person in the whole world, if he can be seen by the emperor, then he can enjoy endless glory and wealth. Every emperor had his own harem.
It can be said that the emperor's side is the most non-shortage of women, and it is rare to see the emperor will be dedicated to a person, but this is not absolute. Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings for Empress Ma are obvious to all, maybe everyone does not know it, the Kangxi Emperor is also an obsessive species, for one of his own empresses, he has loved for a lifetime.
This empress was Empress Herschel, she was the first wife of the Kangxi Emperor, what kind of charm could make the Kangxi Emperor obsessed with her all his life? First of all, if you want to become a queen, you have to be very outstanding, and This is the case with Queen Herschel.
She was a Manchurian Zhenghuangqi native, and her father was a Qing Dynasty courtier, so she was born with a superior family. Born into a famous aristocrat, she received various trainings at a young age, and because of her good education, Empress Herschel was a talented beauty.
Qinqi calligraphy and painting were very early for her, after all, the cultivation of the rich and nobles themselves was very important. When Herschel was only 12 years old, she married Kangxi, and although the Kangxi Emperor was only 12 years old at the time, the two had become husband and wife.
This marriage is also called a marriage, after all, in the environment at that time, many marriages had a special destination, so the marriage between Herschel and Kangxi had a political purpose behind it, and as a member of the royal family, he had to accept such an arrangement.
Although the two did not have any feelings before, and even the marriage was arranged by the elders, the young Empress Heschel successfully attracted Kangxi at that time, she had an outstanding appearance, and her versatility fascinated Kangxi. The life of the two people after marriage is very warm.
This political marriage brought two unfamiliar people together, and after years of running- and running, they got to know each other. As emperor, Kangxi's daily life was very busy, and Empress Hesheri handled the mistakes in life for Kangxi, and they cared for each other and gradually developed real feelings.
Kangxi was very satisfied with his wife, and the two of them lived a happy and happy life. As an emperor, he was sure to have his own descendants to inherit the throne, and in the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Hesheri gave birth to a prince.
After learning this news, Kangxi was also very excited, and he had his own son.
Kangxi named his son and Empress Hesheri Chenghu, and kangxi was particularly fond of his son. The cleverness of his son and the gentleness of his wife made Kangxi feel that he was the happiest person in the world. However, the weather was unpredictable, and Chenghu died at the age of three.
This was Kangxi's special pain, after all, he was very satisfied with Chenghu, and he did not expect such a result. Although his heart was particularly sad, he still had to restrain his emotions, because he was the emperor and he had to keep calm around outsiders.
For his son, Kangxi cried a lot, and he couldn't accept this result, after all, this was his own flesh and bones! When Empress Herschel received the news of her son's death, she fell ill because she could not take the blow. It took a long time for them to come out of their grief.
Time kept passing, and Empress Hesheli also gave birth to a second child for Kangxi, for this prince, Kangxi named baocheng, did not expect that at this time the heavens made a joke to them again. During the birth of the child, Empress Herschel encountered a crisis of dystocia, and this time she was not able to survive safely.
The doctor in the palace tried all kinds of things, but could not save the life of Queen Herschel, and she left this world at the age of 21. Although the Kangxi Emperor found another prince, he lost his first wife. This kind of blow, even if he was the emperor, could not accept it for a while and a half.
Empress Herschel, as Kangxi's first wife, had a deep affection between the two of them, and Kangxi did not expect his wife to leave her so soon. This made his heart full of grief, and at the funeral of Empress Herschel, many officials went to see her off, and the size of the funeral was grand enough to show the depth of Kangxi's feelings for Empress Hesheri.
In the days that followed, every year on the death day of Empress Heschel, the Kangxi Emperor would personally go there, no matter how busy he was on this day. Because this was a woman who made the Kangxi Emperor love her all her life, Empress Hesheri only accompanied the Kangxi Emperor for ten years, but Kangxi was deeply moved.
The two of them became husband and wife at a young age, and the two accompanied each other all the way, and Kangxi became more and more mature, and he also understood, or say the reason, that the empress was good to her.
Because this good is not mixed with any destination, is the pure affection between the two of them. The death of Empress Herschel was a heavy blow to Kangxi.
He loved this woman deeply, and even as he grew older, the figure of Queen Herschel remained in his mind, making him miss it for the rest of his life!
Conclusion: The royal family can be said to be ruthless, the struggle for the throne, the struggle for power makes people feel cold. Love in the royal family is not enviable, because behind this you do not know what his purpose is. And the woman who can make an emperor obsessed with a lifetime, I think she is also good enough, sincere enough!
