There is a Chinese word called harem beauty three thousand, presumably everyone is familiar with this word, because it often appears in major ancient film and television dramas, used to describe the emperor's harem three thousand prosperous scene. Although it is said that the emperor's harem has three thousand beautiful women, it does not mean that the emperor has more than three thousand concubines, because in ancient times, the harem maids were also considered to be the women of the emperor, so these three thousand miles also contained many maids. In the emperor's harem there are all kinds of women, but there is only one empress, and there are only a few favored concubines, so many women spend their lives in empty houses, and their lives are like canaries in cages, and the root of all this evil I think probably lies in the feudal system and its oppression of women.

The protagonist of the story we are going to tell today is a harem concubine- Wen Xiu, that is, Shu Concubine. Wenxiu was the palace that entered with Wanrong when the Great Qing Dynasty was about to perish, and Wanrong was made empress by Puyi, and Wenxiu was also named Shufei. We all know the ancient feudal hierarchy and its strictness, and Wenxiu is not Manchu but Mongolian but can still enter the palace to participate in the draft, you can imagine how good her life is, according to records, Wenxiu's ancestors are eight flags, so her identity is also very, noble. In that era, Western learning was introduced to China, some people's thoughts were initially liberated, more and more people went into the academy to study and seek knowledge, Wenxiu was no exception, learning in school made Wenxiu have her own insights and consciousness, she was not as obedient to feudal fate as other feudal women.
At that time, our country implemented a constitutional monarchy system, although Yuan Shikai had become the president, but Puyi still had the false name of the emperor, living in the Forbidden City to enjoy the treatment of the emperor and the support of the state finance, the emperor was there, of course, he still had to choose a concubine. Wenxiu's father took a fancy to the noble status of the royal family, so he sent Wenxiu to the imperial palace to participate in the draft, although Wenxiu did not yearn for life and noble status in the palace, but for the sake of her father, she still went, at that time, she was only thirteen years old.
After entering the palace, Puyi did not sleep with Wenxiu for physiological reasons, and Wenxiu did not blame him, still abiding by the rules and respecting Puyi very much, and the same was true for the concubines in the palace. She did not become the woman Puyi loved the most, but Puyi was not bad for her, knowing that she liked to read and write, she specially invited her husband to come and teach her, so wenxiu could still go to class from time to time to increase her own knowledge, and it was not unhappy.
However, the good times did not last long, Feng Yuxiang led people to attack the city of Beijing, drove Puyi and others out of the Forbidden City, Puyi's heart was very unbalanced, after all, he was used to a life of glory and wealth, and it was certainly unacceptable to suddenly become an ordinary person from the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so Puyi was planning to return to the Forbidden City. Such a plan Puyi was sure that one person could not complete it, and he needed to rely on the strength of others, so he put the idea on the Japanese. Wenxiu heard Puyi's plan, and even dissuaded him from such an idea, Wenxiu knew that the Japanese were not good people, they ate people and did not spit bones, but Puyi did not listen to Wenxiu's words, but snubbed her because she dissuaded herself, and the people under her also saw the wind and made the rudder treat Wenxiu harshly.
In the end, Wenxiu could not stand such a life, she first self-harmed, but this did not make Puyi look back, and then Wenxiu also wanted to open, found a lawyer and Divorced Puyi. After the divorce, Wenxiu returned to Beijing and became a local primary school teacher, and the people around her did not know her true identity, and after the end of the War of Resistance, Wenxiu also married a Henan officer Liu Zhendong, and the two were very affectionate. After learning later that Wenxiu had been Puyi's woman, Liu Zhendong did not have much of a good job, and felt that it was also very good to be able to marry the imperial concubine, and he had no regrets in this life.
