In the three hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, feudal ideas and the concept of male superiority and female inferiority were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in that social background, many women rushed to marry rich and noble families, many noble women also wanted to serve the king, and now it seems that the loneliness and helplessness of the women of the Deep Palace are an excellent way of survival in their eyes. However, in general, few women who marry the emperor have a good ending, especially in the Qianlong period, his three empresses are also one word, miserable.
But in fact, in the Qianlong period, it was not that there was no happy person, and his mother, Niu Cobalt Lu, laughed to the end. The "Zhen Huan" in the popular drama "The Biography of Zhen Huan" a few years ago is Qianlong's mother, Niu Cobalt Lu, who was known as Empress Xiaoshengxian after she left, and she experienced three of the most famous monarchs in the history of the Qing Dynasty in her life, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. During her reign, she sat firmly on the throne of the empress dowager for forty-two years, enjoying all the glory and wealth, Qianlong was also a well-known filial piety, taking her everywhere to play in the mountains and rivers, and she also had children and grandchildren, and this life also made her very long-lived.
Niu Cobalt Lu was the daughter of Ling Zhu of the Sipin Ceremony, and she married Yongzheng at the age of thirteen, giving her the title Gege and an inferior concubine. During her time in the palace, she not only had to serve her husband Junyongzheng, but also to serve everyone Infujin. At home, like a subordinate, the ancient concubine room is also a slightly higher existence than the subordinate. But for this, Niu Cobalt Lu clan has never complained, when she first served Yongzheng, she had not received Yongzheng's grace for many years, a low-status and unfavored person, of course, a dispensable existence.
Such a situation quietly changed after Yongzheng got a serious illness, when the outbreak of the epidemic in the capital, countless deaths and injuries, Yongzheng although as a prince, but also flesh and blood, also infected with this disease, this disease fatality rate is very high, and can pass, many people dare not go near Yongzheng, but after the neutralization of the niu cobalt Lu clan appeared next to him, careful care, day and night guard, and then Yongzheng's illness is good, they look at niu cobalt Lu clan differently, the two are still very affectionate, Niu Cobalt Lu clan is also very angry, gave birth to the four brothers Hongli, That is, the later Qianlong.
After the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng took the throne, and sealed the Niu Cobalt Lu clan as a concubine, and later the empress of the Uranara clan died of illness, and the affairs of the harem were not taken care of, yongzheng thought of Xi Concubine, so he named her Xi Guifei, and had the right to associate the six palaces, at this time, although the Niu Cobalt Lu clan was not yet an empress, but already had the fact of an empress. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he honored her as empress dowager. Qianlong was very filial to the Niu Cobalt Lu clan, and every time the empress dowager had a birthday, it would be greater, and even when the empress dowager was sixty years old, he spent money and material resources to build a "Qingyi Garden" for her, changed the urn mountain to "Wanshou Mountain", and built a temple in front of the mountain and gave her the name "Dabao En Longevity Temple".
