In the Qing Dynasty, although the status of the eldest son was not as important as that of the Han Dynasty, it was still the dream of many women to add ding to the royal family. In the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, there was such a competition in Prince Jia's palace. The Concubine Jin Xi Tara clan and a concubine named Guan Jia were pregnant at the same time, and the time of childbirth was basically determined in April of that year.
Although Yongyan the Prince of Jia had already become a father in the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, at this time, the son had already died prematurely. That is to say, who can give birth to an heir at this time is still Yongyan's first child, and if anyone can give birth to a son, it is Yongyan's actual eldest son.
For the Fu Jin Xi Tara clan, it was not too important, because she gave birth to the eldest son or the eldest daughter of the concubine. However, for Guan Jiashi, this is very critical. Her origins were low, and her father was only Decheng just a Baitang'a. The so-called Bai Tang'a is that the Qing court, in order to win over the courtiers, stipulated that the children of officials of a certain rank could be used as alternate candidates. However, this candidate will not hold too many official positions, and his future is very limited, and more importantly, he may not have a share for everyone.
Therefore, when Guan Jia married into Prince Jia's palace, he was only the identity of Gege, but only Yong Yan's concubine. As for whether she used means such as inducing labor, there is no record in history. But she did produce before the Fu Jin Xi Tara clan. Unfortunately, this woman was too unfortunate, and tragic experiences ensued.
First of all, she and the Concubine Fujin Hitara clan gave birth to daughters. Again, the Hitara clan did not have to care too much, she was the right wife, and in theory, the sons born to the concubines were her sons. But in feudal society, the daughter born to Guan Jia was dwarfed and would not be taken seriously.
More importantly, Guan Jia also suffered the greatest pain in the world during this birth. Her fertility was very unsatisfactory and she had difficulty giving birth. We often see a plot in TV dramas, when the ancient midwife was difficult to give birth, she would ask: Is it big or small?
In the case of compulsion, the people generally choose to protect the adult. First, because the husband's family has feelings for the pregnant woman after all, and second, because it has saved the adult, it has saved hope, and it is possible to get pregnant and have children in the future. If you choose a child, then everything will change later, even more unpredictable.
However, Guan Jiashi is in the royal family, and the situation is completely different. Yong Yan was twenty years old, had not had a son of his own for many years, and he had been secretly established as early as the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong. So, this child, the significance is extraordinary. The concubine room can be continuously replenished through the draft, and the prince is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the heavens are noble, and how noble.
As a result, almost no one ever considered Guan Jiashi, and she also died a painful death during this birth. How desolate it was to be born with a daughter and to lose the mother who loved her the most in the world. However, at that time, who felt for Guan Jiashi, the misfortune she suffered was regarded as a sacrifice that should be taken for granted, and she did not even get a sigh.
Moreover, Yongyan's eldest daughter did not receive special care. She died three years later, in the forty-eighth year of Qianlong, and did not even have time to take her name. It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Jiashi paid the price of his life, but he gained nothing, not even a person to pay tribute.
Even after Jiaqing ascended the throne, he did not remember this poor woman and did not say anything to her. It was not until the second year of Jiaqing that The thitarat, who had already become empress, died of illness, which evoked the emperor's memories of the past. He posthumously honored Guan Jia as a concubine. Perhaps this perfunctory title could bring insignificant benefits to her family, but for Guan Jia himself, it meant nothing.
