As we all know, the emperor has three thousand harem beauties, in order to consolidate his position and balance the power of the harem, the feelings for the harem concubines, like a spring rain, pay attention to the rain and dew. And there are very few women who really get the emperor's exclusive favor and get the emperor's sincerity. Empress Xiaoxianchun of the Fucha clan of the Qing Dynasty was one of them.
The Qianlong Emperor is a monarch known to people, and his sentimentality is even more impressive. Qianlong had more than fifty concubines in his lifetime, and it can be said that his love life was very rich. However, why did so many beautiful and versatile women not surpass fucha's position in Qianlong's heart? What was so special about the Fucha clan that the Qianlong Emperor had been so concerned about and missed her for 51 years? It's really worth thinking about.
First, both talent and appearance
Born in a famous family, Fucha received a good education with his brothers from an early age, and unlike the "female talentless is moral" that ordinary women are constrained, Fucha's talent has won the admiration of many people. Qianlong was also a man who knew poetry and romance, so he always admired Fucha's talent and regarded it as proud.
Fucha's talent was discovered at a young age and left a deep impression on Qianlong. When Fucha was nine years old, one of Fucha's calligraphy works attracted the attention and admiration of the Yongzheng Emperor. The Yongzheng Emperor was very surprised that the young Fucha clan could write such beautiful calligraphy, and he was even more impressed after seeing the girl's beautiful countenance and extraordinary posture.
The Yongzheng Emperor returned to the palace with Fucha's work and brought it to Qianlong as a wake-up call and admonition. In Qianlong's impression, the Yongzheng Emperor was a strict father, and he rarely praised others. Therefore, after Qianlong learned that the Yongzheng Emperor had praised a nine-year-old girl, Qianlong was full of curiosity about the girl he had never met.
Ladies and gentlemen. In addition to her talent, Fucha's appearance is one of the best. Even if Qianlong had witnessed countless beautiful women in the world, he had to say that the Fucha clan ranked very high in it, which belonged to the world. When Qianlong was alive, he praised Fucha's appearance more than once, and he very generously recognized Fucha's beauty.
Sixteen-year-old Fucha married the seventeen-year-old Qianlong Hongli under the guidance of the Yongzheng Emperor. Fu Cha's talent gradually attracted Qianlong's attention. In the usual relationship, fucha's quiet and elegant, talented image slowly penetrated qianlong's mind, and Fucha's also stepped into Qianlong's heart step by step, becoming Qianlong's favorite wife.
2. Virtuous and virtuous
The married life of the two was very loving, and Qianlong was very satisfied with his original wife, Fuchashi. Fucha's virtuousness is one of her biggest highlights. The Fucha clan was very filial, and after she was Qianlong's wife, she also assumed the function of filial piety to her in-laws. She is serious, thinks about problems comprehensively and thoughtfully, and serves her in-laws properly, so that people can't fault a single thing.
When Fucha became empress, she restrained herself with "virtuous and virtuous virtue". The Fucha clan was of good character, not losing himself because of his lofty status and power, nor becoming arrogant and indulgent because of the emperor's exclusive favor. The Fucha clan adhered to their own hearts, conscientiously completed their own work, and quietly helped the emperor deal with the complicated affairs of the palace.
The Fucha clan kept the harem in good order, and Qianlong was reassured by her abilities. Serving the empress, taking care of the emperor, and managing the harem concubines, she handled everything carefully and impeccably. She cared for the people, shared the worries of the emperor, and performed the duties of an empress.
The Fucha clan usually lived frugally, rarely decorating expensive jewelry unless necessary occasions. After Qianlong complained to her that many of the Eight Flags disciples lived in luxury and forgot the difficulties of their ancestors' entrepreneurship, fucha carefully embroidered the purse, with the purpose of reminding the eight flags children not to forget their hearts. Who doesn't love such a heart-to-heart wife?
Qianlong was even more able to feel Fu Cha's intentions and affection for himself in one inadvertent little thing after another. Qianlong's love was bought by the Fucha clan with his sincerity. After Qianlong suffered from a contagious disease, the people in the harem were afraid that they would also suffer from the disease in the next second.
However, Fu Cha was not afraid, she was worried that the palace eunuchs around Qianlong were not full of heart, and they were not good at waiting for Qianlong, and she also specially moved to Qianlong's palace, personally medicated him, and took care of Qianlong's recovery. Such a thoughtful wife, who does not love? This is also the reason why after Qianlong became emperor, the two had a strong relationship.
3. The pain of losing a son
Fucha can be said to be a perfect wife, but she is also an unfortunate mother. YongLian, the first son of Qianlong and Fucha, gained the emperor's favor. At the age of only six, Yonglian was made crown prince, just to express Qianlong's favor for the Fucha clan. However, the young prince died of typhoid fever at the age of nine.
The death of Fucha's first son was a huge blow to Fucha. In order to comfort his wife, Qianlong did not go to the court for five days, and gave Yonglian the nickname "Crown Prince Duanhui" and built a mausoleum for Yonglian. Fu Chashi was stronger than Qianlong imagined, and she did not get lost in pain, but hid the pain in her heart and endured it silently.
Yong Chun was the second son of the Fu Cha clan, and his arrival brought joy to the Fu Cha clan, which made Qianlong feel the same. The good times did not last long, and the second son died before he was two years old. How great the joy was before, how deep the pain is now! Even the strongest woman will become weak after being hit continuously.
Fucha's body weakened day by day after he could not withstand the blow. Qianlong, who loved his wife, was more anxious than anyone. In order to comfort his wife, he decided to take her on a cruise and escape from the place that made her sad. In the process of the parade, the husband and wife enjoyed the scenery along the way and felt different freedom from the palace.
Fucha's state began to improve, and Qianlong was also very happy and expressed satisfaction with the results. But Heaven doesn't want the couple to have a smooth life. While touring the city of Jinan, Fu Cha's condition unexpectedly worsened, and he died on the way back to Beijing. Losing his beloved wife, Qianlong suffered a great blow.
Qianlong also thought more than once, if those two children were not born, would his wife be able to live with him? After the empress's death, Qianlong never set foot in Jinan City again, the place that took the empress's life, he had hatred in his heart, he did not know what crazy things he would do.
Fifty-one years after Fucha's death, Qianlong did not forget her for a single day. The objects in the Empress's Palace are kept intact, and the Emperor's thoughts about the Empress are recorded here. In every late night, Qianlong's dream will appear in the figure of Miaomiao, which is the miss of his wife; in every late night, there will be a dream voice in the emperor's bedroom, which is a call to his wife.
4. Summary
Fu Chashi was a perfect wife, and she won Qianlong's affection with her talent and sincerity, which made Qianlong miss for 51 years. Her qualities are admirable, her talents are admired, and her meritocracy is praised. Qianlong was absorbed by her and finally fell in love with her, which was expected. It should be said that few people can escape the charm of the Fucha clan, even Qianlong is no exception.
Fucha's incense dissipated, which is deeply regrettable. She is so beautiful, it can be said that she is a generation of sages, how many people hope that she can have a happy ending, rather than die of illness. The qualities she possesses are also worth learning from contemporary people. I hope there are many people of good quality like Fucha in the world!
