Qianlong had many concubines and many children, and his harem had an unfavored concubine, and this concubine was Concubine Yue. Although Princess Yu was not liked by the Qianlong Emperor, her son Wu'a Ge Yongqi was deeply liked by the Qianlong Emperor, who once wanted to pass the throne to the Five Brothers, but unfortunately the Five Brothers Yongqi had a short life, otherwise Princess Yu would be the empress dowager and would have the same fate as Qianlong's birth mother, Concubine Xi. Princess Yu was a Manchu of the Koliyet clan, the daughter of Erjitu, a member of the Yuanwailang Erjitu, and was born on the fourth day of the first month of May in the 53rd year of the Kangxi Dynasty. Princess Yu's seniority is also very deep, as early as when the Qianlong Emperor was still a prince, she entered the residence of the imperial concubine as a low-ranking concubine, Yongzheng thirteen years, Prince Bao Hongli succeeded to the emperor's throne, for the Qianlong Emperor, Yu Concubine Coryet clan first sealed the sea changzai.
In the first year of Qianlong, she was promoted to the rank of haigui. On the seventh day of February in the sixth year of Qianlong, she gave birth to the fifth son of the emperor, Yongqi, and was made a concubine on February 13. In the first month of the tenth year of Qianlong, she was promoted to Concubine Yue. On May 21, 57, Qianlong died at the age of seventy-nine, and was mourned with the courtesy of a noble concubine. Princess Yu's origin was better than That of Concubine Ling, but her promotion was really inferior to That of Concubine Ling. Ling Guifei was a nobleman at the beginning of her life, and was promoted to the concubine position in her early twenties without having children. It can be seen that Princess Joy did not make concubines favored. In fact, Princess Yu was not even as good as a pure concubine, and the pure concubine was crowned a noble concubine before she died, and before she died, she was named an imperial concubine. After the death of Princess Yue, she did not get the position of a noble concubine, but only treated the funeral with a noble concubine ceremony, and the only pride of Princess Yue in her life was to have a good son. Princess Yu's son, The Fifth Brother Yongqi, was brilliant.
Diligent and studious, both literary and martial, and he was good at riding and shooting, Manchu was very good, the Qianlong Emperor was very fond of him, very satisfied, very important, once wanted to establish the fifth brother Yongqi as the crown prince. The Qianlong Emperor liked Empress Xiaoxian's two sons, but only loved Wu and Wu because they were born to Empress Xiaoxian, so they liked them. And the Qianlong Emperor liked the fifth brother Yongqi because Yongqi was a person who made him like it, and Yongqi was too outstanding. Princess Joy, the out-of-favor concubine, has a good son, and naturally there will be a good life in the future. Princess Yu's experience was very similar to that of the Qianlong Emperor's birth mother, Concubine Xi Guifei, who had already entered the palace as a low-ranking concubine when the emperor was still a prince, and she was not outstanding and unfavorable, and only gave birth to one son.
But this son was very good and was deeply liked by her husband, the Emperor. If the Qianlong Emperor, like the Yongzheng Emperor, lived only for more than fifty years, and the Fifth Brother Yongqi lived to be more than eighty years old like the Qianlong Emperor, then Princess Yu would become the empress dowager like Concubine Xi, and enjoy the glory and wealth in the second half of her life. Unfortunately, Xi Guifei's luck could not be repeated to others, and Princess Yu did not have the good life of Xi Guifei. The fifth brother Yongqi was frail and sickly, and did not have the good life of the Qianlong Emperor. In the thirty-first year of Qianlong, after the fifth brother Yongqi was crowned the Prince of Heshuorong, he died of illness in March of the same year, at the age of twenty-six. All the hopes of Princess Yufei had come to naught, and she would not have a day as empress dowager. Fortunately, the fifth brother Yongqi has been married, married several Fujin, and has given birth to a young son, Mianyi.
There are grandchildren who can be used as the reliance of The Joy Princess, and the life of the Pleasant Princess is a little better. People are to talk about life, not only to talk about luck, but also to talk about life span, living long is success. If the five brothers lived a long life, Princess Yue would become the empress dowager, a blessed empress dowager like Concubine Xi. Unfortunately, all this was ruined by the early death of the fifth brother. Princess Yu was not blessed but had a long life, and she lived to be seventy-nine years old, thirty years longer than Concubine Ling, who lived to the age of forty-nine. But does longevity represent happiness? Many people say that life depends on width, not length. The long and unhappy taste of life is the same as chewing wax. The blessed but long-lived Yufei is the prototype of the character of The Yufei in "Yanxi Raiders", and there are very few records of Yufei in the history, while the Yufei characters in "Yanxi Raiders" are plump and have many deeds, but I am afraid that they are much more fictional.
