The harem was their world for those concubines, and they would spend their whole lives here. And the world is so crowded, the competition for survival is fierce, it is difficult to have a good life without a little scheming. I don't know how many concubines like flowers and jade have perished in the competition for survival. It is already a difficult thing to enjoy the whole life in such an environment, and it is even more difficult to live a long life. But there was a concubine who lived in this world for 79 years.
Princess Yu, of the Kerryeite clan, also known as the Haijia clan, was a very common concubine of the Qianlong Emperor. She was born in 1714 and was the daughter of Erjitu, a member of the Imperial Household. He entered the palace at the age of 21, fenghai Guiren at the age of 22, and at the age of 27, he gave birth to the fifth son of the emperor, Ai Xinjueluo Yongqi, and in the same year, his mother was promoted to a concubine by virtue of his son, and four years later he was promoted to a concubine. Judging by this rhythm, Princess Yu's future is bright. In fact, the fifth son of the Emperor, Yongqi, whom she gave birth to, was her "nobleman". Yongqi is diligent and studious, versatile, and good at riding and shooting.
Proficient in Manchu, Qianlong was satisfied with his love and once wanted to become a crown prince. However, often things always go in the opposite direction of man's wishes. I don't want Yongqi to fail to inherit the genes of her parents' longevity, but she is frail and sickly. Yongqi, who had just been named the "Prince of HeshuoRong" in 1766, left his parents in March of the same year at the age of twenty-five. Princess Joy spent twenty-six years in solitude and remembrance of her son, and died on May 21, 1792, at the age of seventy-nine.
Princess Yu had a gentle and kind personality, almost cowardly, and was often bullied by other concubines in the palace. For his personality, there is also a lot of room for play in the film and television, saying that she can only rely on other powerful concubines to survive, and later accumulated her hair in the process of being bullied for a long time, helping concubine Huifa Nara to counterattack and ascend to the throne of the empress. Because the history of the Pleasure Princess is rarely recorded, the drama can be played to the fullest.
In fact, the fate of Princess Yu was quite similar to that of The First Empress of Qianlong, Fu Cha. They were both gentle and virtuous, indisputable from the world; their sons were both brilliant and had been included in the list of crown princes; both of them had experienced the pain of losing their sons. On the last point, Empress Fucha endured more than Princess Yu, and she lost one daughter and two sons in succession, and she was in pain. In the end, he was also unable to live in peace due to excessive grief. Princess Yue, on the other hand, had only one son, who was unusually intelligent and had intended to rely on her for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, she was also ruthlessly taken away by God, and since the loss of her son, Princess Joy spent twenty-six years in loneliness and remembrance of her son. A mother is precious by her son, and without a son, she naturally loses her noble credentials. You can imagine how he spent these twenty-six years. Although among the many concubines, Princess Joy was considered to be a long-lived concubine, she also suffered the loneliness and grief the most.
