Qianlong's concubines were probably the luckiest concubine Ling, because she rose from a palace maid to Qianlong's favorite concubine, and her son eventually inherited the emperor's throne. However, among Qianlong's concubines, there was also a concubine who was not very favored, and she almost became the empress dowager, but because of the early death of her son and the position of the empress dowager, this person was Concubine Yue.
Concubine Yu was already a concubine serving in the palace when the Qianlong Emperor had not yet succeeded to the throne, and gave birth to the fifth brother Yongqi in the sixth year of Qianlong, and Qianlong was very happy to promote haigui to the title of sea concubine. In the following days, Princess Yue put all her thoughts on Yong Qi's body, in fact, it was not that Qianlong did not spoil Princess Yu, but because Princess Yu was harmed by Jia Gui when she was pregnant, she had a lot of stretch marks on her stomach, so after Princess Yufei went up and down the five brothers, when Qianlong first spoiled her, she was startled after seeing the stretch marks on Princess Yu's stomach, and since then she has refused to sleep with Princess Yue.
Princess Yu educated the five brothers with special understanding, and Qianlong was also particularly fond of Yongqi, and Qianlong was once bent on establishing Yongqi as the crown prince. However, Princess Yue did not have such a good fate to be the empress dowager, because Yongqi died of illness in the year when she was 26 years old, and before Yongqi's death, Qianlong also made Yongqi the Prince of Rong, and the title of Prince Rong was very high-status, and Qianlong at that time was proving to everyone the importance of Yongqi, because before this, only one person was given this title, and this person was the eldest son of the emperor born to Shunzhi and Concubine Dong.
Princess Yue, who had lost her beloved son, died of illness 26 years after Yongqi's death, and she was actually the longest-lived concubine of Qianlong. However, it is worth mentioning that Princess Yue also left a portrait, because in the Qing Dynasty, the portraits of the deceased emperors and concubines were all preserved in the imperial palace of Jingshan Shou, but later in the late Qing Dynasty, these paintings were all spread around the world.
Many years later, in an art museum in France, there is such a portrait from the hand of Lang Shining, the woman in the painting is a middle-aged woman wearing a concubine's clothes, although everyone speculates that she is a middle-aged portrait of Jiafei, but in another portrait of Jiafei, it is seen that the two people in this portrait are somewhat different, so many people think that this person is Yuefei.
