It is said that the mother is precious by her son, in ancient China, a woman who gave birth to a son can be considered to have the capital to live, but in the harem of Qianlong, there is a concubine who is because of her daughter, in exchange for the concubine and grace, even if her own character is not good, the heart is vicious, but also enjoy the old age, who is this woman?

First, there are three thousand harem beauties, but the emperor has only one, and if the woman after the emperor is fortunate not to have a child, she will not only die alone in the future, but also not be allowed to enter the imperial tomb after death, and the ending is very miserable.
Therefore, in order to compete for favors in the harem, these concubines are sharpening their heads and climbing up, and they will also show their fierce side, which is vividly displayed for us in the TV series.
However, among these characters, the birth mother of the Tenth Princess of Qianlong rarely appeared on the screen, and this woman was not as simple and kind as her title, but a fierce figure in the palace, fortunately she gave birth to the Tenth Princess.
Concubine Huan, whose mother's family name was Wang, was born in Baoyi, did not have much grace after entering the palace at the age of eighteen, and her family failed to bring her any help in the harem, and if she wanted to stand out in the harem, she had to rely on herself.
Therefore, after entering the palace and being named "Yong Chang Zai", this Wang girl began the harem road to realize her ambitions, and relied on her still excellent face to gain Qianlong's attention, and was later named a nobleman.
Not long after, Qianlong named her a concubine again, it can be said that this is a smart and powerful woman, and it is not easy to stand out among so many show girls. In the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, luck once again fell on this woman, and the concubine became pregnant, and Qianlong was already 64 years old.
Qianlong, who had always been afraid of his own aging, found that he still had fertility, and surprises and accidents took turns, because since the thirty-first year of Qianlong, after the birth of Crown Prince Yonglin, there were no more newborns.

For Qianlong, who is already in his sixties, this child has undoubtedly injected him with a strong needle and made him feel that he is still young. On the third day of the first lunar month of that year, this baby was born with the joy and joy of the Spring Festival throughout the country.
Although she was a princess, Qianlong was still happy to blossom, and not only crowned the concubine as a concubine, but also named this princess Gulun and Princess Xiao. The Qing Dynasty had a system, only the daughter born to the empress could be Gu Lun's title, this exception, it can be seen that Qianlong's love for the Ten Princesses has been different from other daughters.
As a daughter-in-law, the Tenth Princess grew up carefree under the favor of Qianlong, innocent and innocent, but without arrogance. The Tenth Princess not only reads and reads like other brothers and sisters, but also completes female red, but also has a special love for riding and shooting.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although there will be hunting every year to prevent children from neglecting martial arts riding and shooting, women have lived in the palace for a long time and have become more and more unfamiliar with riding and shooting. Unexpectedly, the Tenth Princess was born with a love of riding and shooting, and her skills were not bad.
This made Qianlong even more overjoyed, thinking that this daughter was most like himself, so he was very concerned about the affairs of the Tenth Princess, and qianlong, who was suspicious and grumpy in his later years, only the Tenth Princess had a way to appease.
The Tenth Princess was so favored that even her birth mother Concubine Huan's status in the harem was gradually rising, and her daughter was loved by the emperor, and Concubine Huan also ran into many disasters, but in the end she was taken lightly by Qianlong.

Second, Concubine Herself came from the lowest level of the show girl, but her heart is not kind, and she treats the next person either by beating or scolding, and a little mistake can be severely punished. Once, because of a small matter, Concubine Huan actually beat one of the palace ladies around her to death, and the news reached Qianlong, and the emperor was furious.
It should be known that the Qing Dynasty can enter the palace as the daughter of the flag, these women will leave the original good family after the age is reached, to the palace to serve the emperor, concubines, but generally to the age of 25 or so can go out of the palace and remarry, so the palace women of the Qing Dynasty harem are looking forward to the age to go out of the palace, this system and the Ming Dynasty slaves have a big difference.
Some of these palace ladies still have not close relatives with the emperor, and usually need to inquire about the family background before suppressing, and it is not allowed to be killed directly. However, Concubine Huan knew that the law was against the law, and the subsequent troubles that killed the palace maid had to be solved by the emperor himself.
Therefore, the concubine was demoted to a concubine, and the family of the palace maid was compensated with one hundred taels of silver, and the matter was overturned. The Tenth Princess interceded for her mother in front of Qianlong, so Qianlong also thundered and rained a little, and Gu Quan's overall situation was demoted first, but a year later he found an opportunity to restore the concubine's position.

Concubine Huan's fierceness made a young girl in the flower season die like this, but because her daughter was favored, she was actually able to spend it safely, and I have to say that this daughter really brought a gold medal to Concubine Huan.
Seeing that her daughter spoke so heavily in front of the emperor, she began to become more unscrupulous. Qianlong abdicated the throne as Emperor Taishang and let Jiaqing ascend the throne, although he was no longer in charge, but Qianlong's shelf was still very large, and he had to strictly abide by the time and follow the etiquette system.
However, when Concubine Qianlong met her, it was a common thing to be late, and once she was late for a long time, which made Qianlong very angry, but due to the mediation of the Tenth Princess, in the end Qianlong only canceled the reward for Concubine Qianlong, and there was no other substantive punishment.
If the women of the harem live trembling and trembling, and dare not make a mistake, then Concubine Huan is the person who is least afraid of making mistakes, and the existence of the Ten Princesses makes Concubine Huan's life willful, and she died at the age of 61 in the eleventh year of Jiaqing.
However, the daughter of Concubine Huan, the Tenth Princess who was held in the palm of her hand by Qianlong, was miserable in her later years.

Third, Qianlong had long been looking for Lang Jun for the Tenth Princess, and after careful consideration, he decided to marry the Tenth Princess to FengSheng Yinde, the son of Hezhen. However, after Qianlong's death, he was beheaded by Jiaqing, and Fengsheng Yinde was not implicated because of the intercession of the Tenth Princess and saved his official position.
However, the once loving couple had a disagreement not long after, and Feng Sheng Yinde had an extramarital affair with a maid during the national funeral, and also made the maid pregnant.
This made the Jiaqing Emperor very angry, and the Jiaqing Emperor, who also loved the Tenth Princess, stripped Fengsheng Yinde of all his official positions and imprisoned him at home. FengShen Yinde finally became depressed, and the Tenth Princess became a lonely person.
The Princess of the Qing Dynasty could no longer marry if she was widowed, and at this time, her arrogant mother and other sisters had already died one after another, and the Tenth Princess did not even have a close person around her who could complain.

Finally, when she was 49 years old, the tenth princess who had saved her mother many times and was favored and respected by three generations of emperors passed away, and the Daoguang Emperor personally went to her grave to offer incense.
If Concubine Huan had given birth to a son at that time, with the IQ and emotional intelligence of the Tenth Princess, and the favor of Qianlong, it is estimated that history will be rewritten.
