The Qianlong Emperor was known for his amorous son of heaven throughout his life, and before he succeeded to the throne, there were eight or nine wives and concubines around him, and among these eight or nine wives and concubines, there was an inconspicuous little maid, although he was born lowly, he gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and after his death, he also received the honor of being buried with the emperor, she was the noble concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor.
Emperor Zhe's noble concubine's surname was Fucha, and her ancestors were named Niya Tang'e, around the time of Niya Tang'e's grandchildren, this fucha clan was incorporated into the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, and later changed to the Zhenghuang Banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the father of the Zheyi Emperor's noble concubine, Weng Guotu, was the seventh grandson of Nyaya Tang'e, and the position was a leader.
From the point of view of origin, Zhe Mercy is not dominant, the wrapping collar is what we know as Xin Zhiku, and most of The people of Zhe Mercy hold some middle and lower-level official positions, so Zhe Mercy is not eligible to participate in the Eight Flags Draft, she participates in the palace women's draft organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The palace women's selection contest organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is held once a year, in addition to preparing for the needs of the imperial palace, it is also necessary to give a part to the princes or members of the clan, these women will serve the princes as women, basically they will be accepted by the prince as concubines, called Gege, and Zhe Mercy is the maid who was sent to the Side of Hongli (Qianlong) in the early years of Yongzheng.
At that time, Hongli was not yet married, Zhe Mercy was one of the first women he came into contact with, in Zhe Mercy, Hongli saw the cleanliness and purity of women, and he involuntarily liked this little girl who was similar to his age. Although Yongzheng subsequently assigned Hongli a concubine fujin with the same surname as Fucha, it was Zhe Mercy who first gave birth to children for Hongli.
On May 28 of the sixth year of Yongzheng, Zhe Mercy gave birth to the eldest son in the Xi'er Institute of Hongli, named Yong Huang, and three years later, Zhe Mercy gave birth to a second daughter and gave birth to two children in a row, making Zhe Mercy the most favored woman in hongli at that time, except for Concubine Fujin (Empress Xiaoxian). According to the palace rules, a clothed woman of birth like Zhe Mercy, if she was fortunate enough to have children for the crown prince, had the opportunity to be given the title of Side Fu Jin, but the two grants of yongzheng in the twelfth year of Yongzheng made Zhe Mercy's hopes disappointed.
In the twelfth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng issued two orders, once to promote Gao Chao, the daughter of Gao Bin, the governor of the river, as the Hongli side Fujin, and the other time to give the daughter of Zo ling Narbu as the Hongli side Fujin, if so, Zhe Mercy did not hope to get the coveted side Fujin position, which was a very heavy blow to Zhe Mercy, to a certain extent affected her physical health, and from then on, Zhe Mercy began to become depressed, and her body was not as good as a day.
In July of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, Zhe Mercy died of illness at the Xi'er Institute at the age of only about 25, and what people did not expect was that only two months later, The man whom Zhe Mercy loved, Hongli, was honored with the Ninth Five-Year Honor and became the Qianlong Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he did not forget this earliest woman, and posthumously named her Zhe Concubine, "Zhe" means clean and pure in Manchu, perhaps in Qianlong's heart, Zhe Mercy represents the original simplicity and beauty.
Ten years after Qianlong, Qianlong once again issued a decree that Zhe Mercy, who had given birth to the eldest son of the Emperor Yong Huang, be promoted to imperial concubine, and decided to bury her in the Yuling Underground Palace. Seven years later, the golden coffin of Emperor Zhe's concubine was buried in the Yuling Underground Palace along with Empress Xiaoxian and Emperor Huixian's concubine, and as a result, Zhe Mercy was fortunate to be one of the five women buried with Qianlong.
