Hello everyone, today we all talk about the harem of the Qianlong Emperor!
In the list of Qianlong's empresses, five people received the title of imperial concubine, namely Xin Guifei, Yue Guifei, Xun Guifei, Ying Guifei and Wan Guifei. However, only one of these five people was Qianlong's concubine. She is Ying Guifei.
She was the only concubine of Qianlong's personal title. She ruled the harem for 20 years in the Qing Dynasty, but she lost her life on her birthday
。
Princess Ying guibalin was originally a Mongolian woman. Her ancestors were incorporated into the Mongolian Red Flag. As a result, the Balin clan was not sent directly to the imperial palace like the Mongol concubines of the early Qing Dynasty. She participated in the Eight Flags selection. However, one thing is confusing.
She was born in the ninth year of Yongzheng and first appeared in the thirteenth year of Qianlong. At that time, the 21-year-old Chang was awarded the title of nobleman in the Balin clan. Generally speaking, Eight Banner Women of Manchu and Mongolian origins like the Balin clan are not allowed to be permanent. Hatsuo was at least a nobleman. But why does the Bahrain clan have the title of constant presence?
So, let's look at the Baring father.
Baring's father, Naqin, was a high-ranking military officer with the rank of Lieutenant Commander of light vehicles. It can be seen that the Family of the Barings is not a problem. Therefore, the editor speculates that the Bahrainis were demoted 13 years before Qianlong. As for the reason for the demotion, we have no way of knowing.
However, from the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the good fortune of the Balin clan began. Because she had two good sisters, one was Concubine Ling and the other was Lu Guiren. With the help of these two sisters, the Balin clan was able to settle down in the palace.
In the sixteenth year of Qianlong, the Balin clan was promoted again. Together with Lu Guiren, she was given the title of Concubine of Jin, with the title of Ying Concubine, while Lu Guiren was a Concubine of Qing. In addition, in this year, Qianlong also promoted the Lingfei family from the collar of the coat to the left collar of the coat. As a result, her family was freed from the identity of the Sindzuku people.
In the years since, although the Balin clan did not give birth to a man and a half woman for Qianlong, her status in the harem has steadily improved. In the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, the Balin clan and two other good sisters, Concubine Ling and Concubine Qing, were promoted. The Baring clan was promoted to Concubine Ying, Concubine Ling was promoted to Concubine Ling, and Concubine Qing was promoted to Concubine Qing. These three sisters began to enter the upper echelons of the Qianlong Palace and became an important force in the Qianlong Palace.
In addition, concubines of this period were deeply favored by the Qianlong Emperor. During the thirty years of Qianlong, she was promoted to imperial concubine and put her in charge of the Six Palaces. The Qianlong Imperial Palace officially entered the lingfei era.
From the 30th year of Qianlong to the 40th year of Qianlong, the three sisters of The Balin clan, Ling Guifei and Qingfei were the most beautiful period. Because Concubine Ling ruled the harem, they became the real leader in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. However, in the first month of the fortieth year of Qianlong, Emperor Lingyi's concubine suddenly fell seriously ill. At that time, Qianlong ordered Concubine Ying and Concubine Wan to take care of the Imperial Concubine, but the Imperial Concubine died. After the death of the imperial concubine, Qianlong gave her youngest son, the Seventeenth Brother Yongxuan, to Ying Guifei to raise.
The death of the imperial concubine once again changed the pattern of the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty. Although the highest status was Princess Shu, Princess Shu also died two years after the death of the imperial concubine, and then princess Yue. Although Princess Yu guifei was senior, her health had always been bad. Therefore, from the forty-second year of Qianlong, the court affairs of the Qing Dynasty basically fell on Concubine Ying. This can also be seen from Qianlong's entrusting of Yongxuan to Yingfei's care.
Thus, from the forty-second to sixty years of Qianlong, we can call the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty the "Yingfei Era". Although Qianlong had the right to say one thing or two about major decisions, specific affairs should be arranged by Yingfei.
In the third year of Jiaqing (April 15), the Qianlong Emperor rewarded the Balin clan for nearly 20 years of hard work and made her a concubine of Ying Guifei, making the Balin clan the only concubine of Qianlong. Bahrain was 68 years old at the time, but she didn't expect her to lose her life because of her birthday.
It is said that in the five years of Jiaqing, the Bahrain family ushered in the 70th birthday. At that time, the Qianlong Emperor had died. All matters are taken care of by Jiaqing. However, King Yongxuan of Qingjun sent birthday gifts to Shoukang Palace without Jiaqing's consent, which made Jiaqing very angry. Enraged, Yong Xuan was removed from his post and asked to quit Qianqingmen.
Seeing his birthday tired of his adopted son, Balin's mood was not good. It didn't take long for her to die. In this way, the lifespan of the Barins is maintained at 70 years. Later, Jiaqing ordered that the Noble Concubine Ofing Bering be buried in the Yuling Concubine Garden.
Postscript: Xin Guifei was only crowned "Xin Guifei" before her death. He did not even accept the title of Concubine Xin and was buried with the system of a noble concubine after his death. Before her death, Princess Yugui only sat on the concubine seat (Concubine Yu), and after her death, Qianlong ordered that the funeral be handled under the system of concubine ceremonies. Xun Guifei was also buried by Qianlong Jia'en with the guifei ceremony system, and her noble concubine gaoshou, her title of noble concubine was not given by Qianlong, but was honored by Jiaqing, so Ying Guifei was the only noble concubine that Qianlong personally sealed.
