In the imperial palace, the position of the servant has always been unpopular, because of his humble status, he can only serve his master for a lifetime. However, a Qing Dynasty lady named Su Ma Lagu had no background relationship and had a higher status than that of the imperial relatives. After her death, all the princes dressed her with ma dai filial piety, and also placed the coffin with Empress Xiaozhuangwen. So, why is her status so high?
Suma Lama, born in a poor Mongolian family, was chosen as a close servant of Xiaozhuang because of her clever looks. Since then, she has been accompanying her master and serving carefully. Su Ma Lama is different from the ordinary yakuza, she is not only intelligent, but also proficient in both Manchu and Chinese. Xiaozhuang took a fancy to her talents and often instructed her to do some important work related to her.
All along, Xiaozhuang treated her like a sister, so when she arrived at the palace, The status of Su Ma Lama was even higher than that of ordinary yakuza, and the eunuchs and yakuza in the palace all respected her specially. However, she did not rely on Empress Xiaozhuang to have today's status, and a large part of the reason was her kindness and generosity.
When the Kangxi Emperor was ill and no one visited, she went alone to take care of her and taught her Manchu. As a result, in later life, Kangxi treated her very kindly and respected her as his mother, and Kangxi could eventually become an emperor for thousands of years without the teaching and guidance of Su Ma Lama from childhood. After empress Xiaozhuang's death, Su Ma Lama was depressed. Kangxi then entrusted the twelve brothers to her to raise, you know, in the imperial palace, only the position of concubine or above is eligible to raise the prince, which shows Kangxi's respect and trust in her.
It was also because of the teachings of Su Ma Lama that the twelve brothers avoided the disputes caused by the throne in the future, and they were also named the king of the county and lived an unrestrained life. After that, Su Ma Lama was lifelong childless, and when she was ninety-three, she finally completed her mission and left this world. When Kangxi heard about it, he immediately rushed back from outside the palace and ordered all the princes to participate in the funeral ceremony. It can be seen that her existence was particularly important for the Kangxi Emperor.
