In the hundreds of years of history of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong can be said to be the most affectionate emperor, so there are many women in his harem, which is particularly wonderful. Qianlong's father, Yongzheng, has always been known for his diligence, and even many people say that he treated the harem coldly because of state affairs, but in fact, the emperor's harem is also equally interesting. There was a woman, who was originally just a servant ring around Yongzheng, and did not have any favor in her life, but only because she had a good son, she lived to the age of 97 and was crowned as an imperial concubine.
This woman's name is Pure Yi Emperor Guifei, and we all know that during the Qing Dynasty, we all paid great attention to a person's family status, and her family lineage was very humble. But at that time, Yongzheng was still only a prince, and her father was a domestic slave in the palace. But she looked very beautiful and dignified and generous, so Yongzheng included her in the palace and became an ordinary concubine, and later in the palace, Yongzheng only had a whim for her, and there was no emotional basis, so she was also snubbed in the palace. Fortunately, she was a very open-minded woman, and even if she did not have the favor of her husband, she did not grieve because of it, and she was later named a concubine.
Although she has not been favored by the emperor, her luck is very good. Once, the emperor summoned her, but she became pregnant, and later gave birth to a prince named Hongzhi. This prince has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, loved by the emperor, and because of her weak personality, her son is also like her, not in contention, very indifferent, so the relationship with the princes is very good, especially the relationship with the fourth son of the emperor Hongli is the closest.
Later, after Yongzheng's death, Hongli ascended to the throne and was known as Qianlong. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he did not forget his good brother, and not only entrusted him with heavy responsibilities, but also greatly respected his brother's birth mother, and honored her as "Imperial Concubine Kaoyu". And this woman also because of her calm personality, and most of the concubines in the harem also have a good relationship, so she has been living in the harem safely and smoothly, becoming a rare longevity concubine.
Qianlong 43 years, this woman is already 97 years old. In October of that year, she suddenly fell seriously ill, and even the emperor was very worried, in order to make her feel more happy, the emperor specially ordered her to be honored as "Emperor Yu's Noble Concubine". However, she still could not survive and eventually died of illness at the age of 97. In fact, throughout this woman's life, although she did not get the favor of the emperor, but because of her personality, but also because of having a good son, she was able to live peacefully in the harem for many years, and lived to the age of 97, which was much luckier than most concubines.
