Although the Yongzheng Emperor himself was not a good woman, he also had many concubines in his harem, one of whom was more special. Because she was the earliest woman in Yongzheng and gave birth to her eldest daughter, she was the concubine Song. Today we will take a look at Yongzheng, who is only a concubine, but quite a special concubine.
Song was born in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, so she was actually a year older than Yongzheng. Her father Song Jinzhu was the chief official, and it could be seen that the Song clan was not from a high origin, so even if she married Yongzheng, she could not obtain much high status, and could only be a concubine.
When the Song clan married Yongzheng, the latter was still an unvaled prince, so there are few records of this passage in the history books. It is also unknown when the Song clan married Yongzheng, but according to the general age of the xiunu at that time, the Song clan married Yongzheng, who was still a prince around thirty years after Kangxi, and she should be the earliest woman of Yongzheng.
In the thirty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Song clan gave birth to the eldest daughter of Yongzheng, who was only 16 years old at this time. Song Shi let Yongzheng taste the joy of becoming a new father, so Yongzheng became more and more fond of her. Unfortunately, Le Ji was sad, and this daughter died soon after, and both of them were very sad.
It was not until the forty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty that the Song clan gave birth to a child for Yongzheng again. This time it is still a daughter, and according to the order of the teeth should be the third daughter of Yongzheng. Originally, this daughter should have made up for the pain of Song's loss of daughter, but what she did not expect was that this daughter also died prematurely. The successive blows made the Song family a little unbearable, and after this, she never gave birth to a son and a half daughter.
After the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng successfully succeeded to the throne. At this time, although the Song clan had no children, she was after all the first woman to follow Yongzheng, and remembering her seniority in the submerged residence and her performance over the years, Yongzheng gave her a concubine and gave her the title of "Mao", and held a canonization ceremony in December of the same year.
The word "Mao" has the meaning of beauty, diligence and diligence, which shows that in Yongzheng's heart, the 46-year-old Song Shi is still beautiful and diligent. But then again, The concubine was nearly half a hundred years old at this time, and she had no heirs, so she could only stop at the concubine position.
In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Mao Concubine died in a long period of loneliness. At this time, Yongzheng's Tailing had just been built, and the concubine's bed was still under construction, so Yongzheng temporarily placed the golden coffin of the concubine in the Tamura Funeral Palace. As we all know, Yongzheng died after only 13 years of reign, and until his death, he did not have time to bury his concubine in the concubine garden.
The time came to the second year of Qianlong, and the Qianlong Emperor transferred his concubine, who had been dead for nearly 8 years, together with the golden coffin of Concubine Qi, to the Qing Xiling Tailing Concubine Garden. It is worth mentioning that the concubine coupon seat is located in the first place on the right side of the front row, and she is the only concubine of the Tailing Concubine Garden.
Concubine Mao was a person with a hard life, she was the first woman in Yongzheng, and it is reasonable to say that when Yongzheng took the throne, her good life had just begun. Unfortunately, fate tricked her, and the concubine did not even have a child in the end. A concubine like her, who is not born tall, wants to survive in the harem, and it is impossible to live without heirs, so from beginning to end, she can only be a concubine. If a concubine could have a child, perhaps her fate would be completely different.
However, Mao Concubine is only a microcosm of the ancient concubines, and there are hundreds of concubines like her in history. For various reasons, they are tricked by fate, and finally can only walk through the misery of their lives. And like Mao Concubine, it is still relatively good.
