Qianlong was a famous tianzi of the Qing Dynasty, and its harem beauties were naturally innumerable, and there were as many as 41 people recorded on the record alone, and among the more than forty concubines, five of them eventually obtained the title of noble concubine, namely Wan Guifei, Ying Guifei, Xin Guifei, Xun Guifei and Yue Guifei. So, who is the most beautiful one?
Graceful Concubine
Princess Wan Guifei Chen was originally a servant of Qianlong's side during his reign as a prince, and his father was named Chen Yanzhang, and after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Chen Shi successively obtained the position of Chang Zai and Gui ren, and was crowned as a concubine after the death of Empress Xiaoxian in the thirteenth year of Qianlong.
However, what is unexpected is that from then on, the Chen clan lost the favor of the amorous Tianzi and has always been in the harem as a concubine, and it just so happens that Chen Shi is a very long-lived woman, who stayed on the concubine throne for 46 years, until qianlong fifty-nine years before she was promoted to concubine. After Jiaqing became pro-government, Chen was honored as a noble concubine and lived until jiaqing was twelve years old, at the age of 92.
Princess Wan Guifei was the longest-lived woman in the Qianlong harem.
Ying Guifei
Ying Guifei Balin was a daughter of the Eight Banners from Mongolia with a red flag, her father Waskin was a high-ranking officer in the army (Du Tong), and in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the Balin clan was crowned a nobleman, and from then on, she began to rise in the Qianlong harem. Although the Balin clan has never been able to give birth to children for Qianlong, her position has always been steadily improved, and she has been promoted to Ying Concubine and Ying Concubine.
After the death of Emperor Yi of Qianlong forty years, Qianlong handed over the seventeen brothers Yongxuan to the Ying Concubine Balin clan to raise, and in the later Qianlong period, with the death of Shu Fei and the aging of Concubine Yu, the Balin clan became the actual ruler of the harem. Qianlong became Empress Taishang, and in order to honor the Balin clan, he was promoted to the title of Ying Guifei.
Princess Yinggui died of illness in the palace at the age of 70 in Jiaqing.
Xin Guifei
Princess Dai Jia was a flag girl from Manchuria with a yellow flag, and her father was the governor Nasutu. The prominent family lineage led to Dai Jia's election to the court in the eighteenth year of Qianlong, and from the twentieth year of Qianlong, Dai Jia gave birth to two princesses (six princesses and eight princesses) for Qianlong, but none of these two princesses survived.
In the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong, Dai Jiashi was about to give birth again, but he did not expect to lose his life because of this, and the mother and son died, and Qianlong also felt very sorry for Dai Jia's death, and ordered that he be buried with the noble concubine system, which was equivalent to posthumously sealing Dai Jia as a Xin Guifei.
Follow the noble concubine
Concubine Ilgenjue Luoshi was a flag girl from Manchuria with a blue flag, and her father was the governor of Guilin. In the forty-first year of Qianlong, Ilgen Jueluoshi, who was 47 years younger than Qianlong, was elected to the harem and was initially named a concubine. In the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, when Qianlong was about to ascend the throne, he made Ilgen Jue Luoshi a concubine.
However, what was not expected was that on the occasion of the forty-year-old Thousand Autumn Festival of Ilgen Jue Luoshi in the second year of Jiaqing, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave away birthday gifts in advance, which made Qianlong Longyan angry and severely punished the relevant people. Ilgen felt that Roche was frightened by this incident and died not long after. At this time, Qianlong regretted it, so he ordered that Ilgen Jue Luoshi be buried with the noble concubine system, which was equivalent to posthumously being named a noble concubine.
Happy Noble Concubine
Yu Guifei KeLiYe Te clan was also a concubine of Qianlong during his reign as a prince, and her status was similar to that of Wan Guifei, and after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, the Ke Li Ye Te clan was able to enter the Dragon Court, live in Yonghe Palace, and was named Yu Guiren.
In the early years of Qianlong, the Kerryet clan was still relatively favored, she gave birth to the fifth brother Yongqi in the sixth year of Qianlong, Yongqi was the best of qianlong's many princes, he was both literate and martial, poetry and song, riding and archery, all proficient, can be described as the best heir to the throne, but what was not expected was that this excellent Qing prince died early in the good years of 25 years old, leaving Qianlong with endless regrets.
After Yongqi's death, the Kerryet clan had been living in the harem and rarely participated in activities, she died in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong at the age of 79, and Qianlong ordered that she be buried under the system of noble concubines, which was equivalent to posthumously being crowned as a noble concubine.
It is worth mentioning that now circulating on the Internet is an anonymous portrait of the Qianlong Harem, although it is marked with "Jiafei Middle-aged Jifu Statue", but it is completely different from the Jiafei on the "Heart Writing Zhiping", some people speculate that this painting is Yu Guifei, from the portrait point of view, this woman looks outstanding, the temperament is extraordinary, very beautiful, but because there is no other portrait as a reference, so it can not be conclusive.
