The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a young girl who married the 41-year-old Jiaqing Emperor when she was 14 years old. Since she entered the palace, she has been very favored, and has been pregnant with 3 children in 10 years, and has also been specially named "Obedient Imperial Concubine". It is reasonable to say that her status is already very noble, but after her death, she is not allowed to be buried in the imperial tomb.
This woman was born in the famous Niuhulu clan of the Qing Dynasty, which was once very prominent, but in her father's generation, she only became a minor official, but fortunately, relying on the family's strength, she successfully participated in the draft at the age of 14, and was favored by the emperor by virtue of her noble family lineage and outstanding appearance. At that time, the Jiaqing Emperor was 27 years older than her and was very fond of young and beautiful women, so as soon as she entered the palace, she was named "like a nobleman".
As we all know, the Jiaqing Emperor was not young when he ascended the throne, and the concubines in the harem were also very old, so the young concubines who had just entered the palace were more favored. At that time, she could be said to be the only one who was favored by the emperor, who flipped the cards for her day by day, and she was also very competitive, giving birth to 3 children in succession in the following ten years, and her status became more and more honorable. When she gave birth to her last child, the Jiaqing Emperor was almost 60 years old, and she finally gave birth to a prince, and the emperor was so overjoyed that he ordered her to be promoted to "Rufei".
Later, the Jiaqing Emperor died of illness, and the Daoguang Emperor succeeded his father as the new emperor. The new emperor saw that she was the favored concubine of the former emperor and had merit in giving birth to an imperial heir, so he honored her as "like a noble concubine" and was very filial to her. Daoguang was 26 years old, at this time she was old, her body was gradually weakening, and she also had a serious illness, and almost died. When the emperor learned of this, he was very anxious, so he ordered her to be crowned "Imperial Examination As An Imperial Concubine", but she eventually survived, and she became a rare widow of the former emperor in the Manchu harem who was twice crowned by the same emperor.
Later, when the Xianfeng Emperor ascended the throne, she still enjoyed her old age in the harem, at this time she was already the oldest, most senior, and highest-ranking concubine, and the new emperor had to honor her as "Imperial Ancestor Like Imperial Noble Concubine", after which she enjoyed another 10 years of glory, and finally died of illness at the age of 74. But the strange thing is that with her identity and status, she should be able to accompany the burial in the imperial tomb, and she was eventually buried only in the concubine garden of the Qing Palace.
However, compared with other women in the same period, she was already very lucky, not only to be favored by the Jiaqing Emperor, but also to be respected and filial piety by two generations of emperors in succession, and she had been living smoothly in the palace and getting a real good death. Although she was not allowed to be buried in the imperial tomb in the end, for her, these posthumous things were no longer important, after all, a lifetime of peace and happiness was the most important.
