In late Qing China, society was dark, the rulers pursued enjoyment, and the common people did not want to live. In the surviving photographs, we find that the Manchu rulers had numb expressions, especially the women in the imperial palace, who were "ugly". This is a misconception.
The Qing Dynasty royal family still had beautiful-looking women, but she was not an imperial concubine, but a four-grid grid that often accompanied Cixi. It is said that the four grids are not only beautiful, but also have a very good personality, well-behaved and lovely, and their behavior is deeply loved by Cixi.
Si Gege, as the daughter of Yi Li, originally enjoyed countless glory and wealth, and later became a red person around Cixi, and Cixi had to take her with her for eating, drinking and having fun, which can be described as a momentary scenery and the object of everyone's envy. According to Cixi's personal palace maid recollection in the "Tale of the Palace Women's Past Conversations", Si Ge ge was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the palace, and she herself was dignified and beautiful, and she was brilliant. If she didn't see her for a few days, Cixi would think of her, and she would often be sent to the palace or garden to relieve her boredom, and she would often accompany Cixi to take a boat to swim in the lake.
Some people say, "With the character of the four grids, it is really one of the thousands." On doing things is also thoughtful everywhere, very popular. Anyone can get along with her. Unfortunately, the husband died early, leaving no man and half woman, which delayed the life of the four squares. ”
