Once upon a time, the Qing Dynasty was also like a fierce tiger to expand the land, to dominate the world, to think of the prosperity of the Kangqian era, always make people fascinated, but the history is strikingly similar, any dynasty will eventually go from prosperity to decline, the late Qing Dynasty is full of weeds, that piece of decay is lamentable.
Ai Xin Jue Luo Puyi, he had a lot of controversy, he ascended the throne at a young age, after ascending the throne for only a few days the emperor was forced to abdicate, although it was no longer the body of the Nine-Five, but it was still the body of the emperor, so when he was a little older, he married Wanrong, but Wanrong had a habit of sleeping, the eunuch palace women already knew it, and Puyi deliberately turned a blind eye.
The late Qing Dynasty faced internal and external troubles, crumbling, and finally after the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, the emperor abdicated, the Qing Dynasty died, the emperor Puyi at that time was still living in the Forbidden City, and also enjoyed the treatment of the emperor, not knowing that the outside world has been turned upside down.
Puyi gradually grew older, so under the coercion and temptation of the royal family, he married his first wife, which was also the last empress of the Qing Dynasty, Wanrong. Wanrong was born into a prominent family, so there were many conditions for learning from an early age, and even her father hired an English teacher for her.
A noble birth and a prominent family lineage could have enjoyed prosperity and wealth for a lifetime, but a day in 1922 changed her destiny. At that time, Wanrong was already 16 years old, and in the feudal era, a woman at this age could marry, and Wanrong was beautiful and knowledgeable, so the eunuch who was looking for a wife for Puyi invited her into the palace.
Puyi was already only the nominal emperor at that time, but he could still exercise the power of the emperor, so after he gradually became an adult, he could choose a woman to become her empress, and under the supervision of a number of noble concubines, Puyi finally chose Wanrong as empress and held a grand ceremony.
If under normal circumstances, after a woman marries the emperor and becomes an empress, she is the lord of the harem, which can be described as a monstrous power, and the glory and wealth cannot be enjoyed, but this emperor is already an emperor of the last road, then her empress is only a name. Of course, although there is no real power, the accumulation of the palace for many years still has a certain material basis.
Wanrong married Puyi in the first two years of life is OK, basically all the materials are available, Puyi is also very fond of her, there are good things will be kept for her, and even bought a Zeiss camera imported from Germany for her.
However, the good times did not last long, in 1924, when the life of the imperial palace was just getting used to, they were driven out by the rebel army, Puyi and Wanrong, as well as many palace eunuchs, all had to leave the Forbidden City where they had lived for most of their lives, and Puyi and Wanrong also had to leave Beijing for Tianjin.
After coming to Tianjin, in the face of the trend of the new era, Puyi also wore a trench coat and sunglasses, Wanrong also rolled up her long hair and sprayed perfume, and soon the two were integrated into the wave of the new era, and seemed to have fully adapted to the lifestyle and rhythm of the new era. However, due to the physical defects of her husband, she has never let Wanrong experience the happiness of women.
In fact, as early as the time when the two were just married, Wanrong and Puyi had already found that Puyi did not seem to be interested in himself when they were intimate, because Puyi would never go further with himself, even after a toss of dry firewood, he never took that last step. This made WanRong very lonely.
After all, she is already an adult, and the things she learned in the books always want to practice it herself, but Puyi always avoids it, and even later Puyi does not sleep with her in the same bed, and the lonely Wanrong has developed a habit of sleeping, and she only does this because she is too lonely.
Wanrong did not close the door when she slept, her strange habit lasted for a long time, it is said that when the eunuch palace women rested in the corridor outside the door, and Wanrong opened the door to lie down to sleep, if on a whim, she would chat with the palace eunuchs, but more because she wanted the emperor to lie by her side.
Puyi also saw Wanrong's thoughts, but she had an illness when she was a child, so that she would lose her strength as a man forever, and his ability to have sex had ceased to exist, but Wanrong did not know at the beginning, she opened the door, only hoping that the emperor could come to satisfy her once.
However, no matter how big the door opened and how long it opened, Puyi finally turned a blind eye, and although the eunuch palace ladies knew it, they could not do anything, and this noble-born empress always had to endure the loneliness of guarding the empty house alone in the middle of the night.
After living in the Forbidden City for about two years, he was forced to move to Tianjin, and after coming to Tianjin, he truly realized what a new society is, Puyi and Wanrong had long been tired of the life of the imperial palace, so the two quickly adapted to the lifestyle of the new society.
After all, it is a woman from a large family, kindness and good upbringing make Wanrong very open in Tianjin, but Puyi, who continues to dream of being emperor every day, gradually alienates her, and Wanrong, who is already very lonely and lonely, becomes unstable, and often hides alone in no one's place and quietly sheds tears, which makes her nerves split.
There are two complete states before and after, and even a slight schizophrenia appears, after all, it is the queen, with this special status, she has to endure grief and loneliness, continue to disguise nobility and elegance, and no one cares until she is only in her twenties.
The Japanese began to control Puyi under the banner of helping the Manchu Qing government restore its former glory, Puyi thought of his dream of being an emperor, so he willingly cooperated with the Japanese to become the emperor of Manchukuo, and Wanrong naturally became an empress, although Puyi was an emperor, but in fact he was a puppet used by the Japanese.
The Japanese acted arbitrarily in China under the banner of Manchukuo, the two tossed and turned to the northeast, and the cold air did not dispel Puyi's determination, Puyi could not listen to anyone's words, insisted on cooperating with the Japanese who threatened to give him troops, and was completely unaware of the series of behaviors of the Japanese at home, and Wanrong gradually lost hope in him.
Lonely and helpless Wanrong eventually contracted opium, opium smoking gradually became addicted, must be sucked a few bites a day, otherwise there will be chaos, at first there is a certain economic support, to later Puyi abandoned him when he fled and was captured by the Soviet Union, she can no longer afford to smoke opium.
The infringement of opium and the unsatisfactory and tribulations of life finally completely destroyed her, her consciousness was blurred, her face was haggard, her bones were thin, and it was difficult to compare her with her when she had just entered the palace before, but she was born at the wrong time, did not meet the right person, and lived a wrong life. WanRong eventually died in prison in 1946.
Born aristocrats have suffered a lot, and Wanrong's encounter is the sadness of not being born at the right time, and it is also the pity of not being understood and cherished, and it is also the living condition of most women in feudal society, although she is an empress, she is already involuntary. Although she is a wife, she still guards an empty room alone, and the lonely Wanrong has developed a strange habit of sleeping without closing the door.
The flower season teenager who has not been familiar with the world cannot wait for her spring, nor can she wait for her husband, the honor and magnificence in front of the people, the tears flowing behind the people, the young woman suffers from the hardships of the times, all kinds of tempering and tribulations finally knocked her down, the girl who was once full of longing, and finally cannot escape the shackles of fate, her life is sloppy, sad and lamentable.
