Kangxi's favorite women in his life were two, one was Empress Xiaochengren and the other was Princess Wuya. Empress Xiaochengren (Hesheli) was kangxi's wife, although it was a political marriage, but because of her wisdom and beauty, dignified and generous, between the day and night, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, she gave birth to two sons for Kangxi. Unfortunately, When Herschel died in childbirth at the age of 21 due to dystocia, Hescheli died of a difficult birth, and after Herschel's death, Kangxi was deeply saddened and took up the throne for her for 30 years.
It was not until the appearance of Princess Wuya that kangxi's long-sealed heart was awakened. Princess De was originally from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had a low status, but she could rank among the four concubines, which showed that she must be different. Originally, Wu Yashi was only a palace maid in charge of doing coolies, because she was clever and well-behaved, and was fortunate to be promoted to the imperial palace maid, and Wu Yashi's handsome appearance and sharp teeth were soon favored by Kangxi.
Soon after, the Uya clan had a son, Yin Chan, who was still a palace maid at that time, and because of her lack of position, she could not raise the fourth brother Yin Chan, and Yin Chan was forced to separate from the U Ya clan from an early age. When the fourth brother was two years old, Wu Ya clan only obtained the position of concubine, and after the concubine gave birth to a child, she was not forgotten by Kangxi, kangxi still spoiled her as before, and soon the concubine gave birth to two sons and a daughter in succession. At this time, De Concubine had already been promoted to The Concubine of Virtue and had the right to raise her children, so these four children all grew up around Princess De.
Among the three sons born to Princess De, the fourth son of the Emperor Yin Chan did not grow up by her side since childhood, and the sixth son of the Emperor Yin Zuo died young, so Princess De's favorite fourteen sons Yin Yu, and Kangxi was also very important to the fourteen sons. However, on November 13, 1722, the Kangxi Emperor died of illness in Changchun Garden in the northern suburbs, and Yongzheng ascended the throne as emperor, which really surprised Princess De, because she had already consulted with Kangxi in her early years to establish her fourteen sons as emperor.
On the day of Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, Princess De refused the empress dowager's reward and cried in front of Kangxi Ling, and the fourteenth son, Yin Yu, also refused to kneel down to Yongzheng, making Yongzheng's face ugly. In order not to let the scandal be revealed, Yongzheng secretly put his fourteenth son Yin Yu under house arrest in Jingling, and Princess Wuya died shortly after. The mystery of the cause of death of Princess Dewuya was revealed, and she was not forced to die, but it turned out to be "self-inflicted sins cannot live".
Regarding the mysterious death of Princess De, there is no record in the history books, so why did Princess Defei die? Some people speculate that he was forced to die by Yongzheng, Yongzheng was a power-hungry person, Andi Concubine made a big fuss about his enthronement ceremony, he must have a grudge in his heart, so he secretly forced Princess Defei to commit suicide. However, this speculation is not reasonable, even if Princess De is no longer unbearable, she is also her own biological mother, if he forces his mother to die, he will definitely leave a name for eternity, Yongzheng is a reasonable person, and he will not do such a stupid thing.
Historians, after studying the materials of the Qing history manuscript, found that Princess Defei ate as usual before her death and had no record of drinking soup medicine, so it was impossible that she died because of external injuries. The only reason is that Princess De died of emaciation, and Princess De's greatest wish in life was to hope that the fourteenth son would succeed to the throne, but his most beloved fourteenth son was imprisoned in Jingling, but his most hated son Yin Chan inherited the throne, which was a huge blow to Princess De. In addition to the death of the Kangxi Emperor, Princess De had no one to rely on, even if her son Yin Chan inherited the throne, but Princess De had always been estranged from Yin Chan, and Princess De thought that she was alone.
In fact, the real cause of death of Princess Defei was not forced to die, nor was she sick and died, but she thought too much and exhausted herself. On the one hand, she was worried that Yin Chan would be unfavorable to herself and the fourteenth brother, in fact, Yin Chan's heart and eyes were not so small at all; on the other hand, she was sad for Kangxi's death, Princess De thought that as soon as Kangxi left, she became a lonely person, in fact, he also had two excellent sons filial piety to her, she has been obsessed with future development, but forgot to cherish the happiness in front of her, it is really self-inflicted sins can not live!
