The ancients said: The most ruthless imperial family, the harem of the ancient emperor has many concubines, but there are not many people who can get the emperor's favor, and the old people are old and the new people are coming, even the concubines who were once very favored, it is difficult to still get the emperor's favor after old age, because the emperor will give the favor to the young and beautiful concubines who have just entered the palace. Among the many emperors in ancient times, there were ruthless and naturally sentimental, and when it came to amorous emperors, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was a typical representative.
As an emperor, Qianlong was relatively lucky, and the process of his sitting on the dragon chair was smooth, and he did not experience the road of fratricide to the throne. Moreover, among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong reigned for a long time, second only to Kangxi, and he was also the emperor who lived the longest. Qianlong, who lived such a long life, must have many concubines in the harem, it is said that there were more than forty, one of whom accompanied him for 65 years, and at the age of 79, he was "flipped", and the son she gave birth to was still the best brother.
She was Qianlong's concubine, the Kerryet clan, also known as the Hai clan, and before Qianlong ascended the throne, she was already serving Qianlong as a Gege. According to the system of the time, his status was obviously low, just a humble concubine, no prominent family, no outstanding appearance, and no favor of Hongli. After Qianlong ascended the throne, other Gege with the same status as the Hai clan were all given good positions, while the Hai clan was only given a very low position.
Although she was in a low position and did not get good treatment, she did not complain and has always been non-contentious. After two years, Qianlong seemed to remember this woman who had accompanied him for many years, so he named her a noble person. After a few more years, Hai gave birth to Qianlong's fifth son, Yongqi, and then his mother was named a concubine of Pleasure. Yongqi, who had been very good since childhood, made Qianlong very fond of him, and had high hopes for him to be made crown prince, and the fate of Concubine Yu changed with yongqi's birth.
In the ten years of Qianlong, Concubine Yu dipped her son's light and was once again promoted to the title of Concubine Of Pleasure, and a few years later became the head of the concubines. And Yongqi was named the Prince of HeshuoRong in 1765, this title is not something that ordinary people can get, in the Qing Dynasty, in addition to Yongqi, only the fourth son of Shunzhi has this title, which is enough to show that Qianlong attaches great importance to him, but Yongqi unfortunately went in this year, only 24 years old. His death made both Qianlong and Princess Yu very sad, especially Princess Yu remembering her son for the rest of her life.
Princess Yu was originally a mother, and then her son unfortunately died young, and Qianlong did not snub her, and he also understood that Yongqi's death hit Princess Yue, and later she still put her at the head of the concubines. Princess Yu accompanied Qianlong for 65 years, and finally died at the age of 79, and before that, she was also flipped by Qianlong, and she wanted to come to Qianlong with affection for her.
