In modern society, a 14-year-old girl is just a junior high school student, but in the harem of the Qing Dynasty two hundred years ago, a woman of this age may participate in the draft and become the emperor's concubine, and today I want to talk about a woman who was very favored by Jiaqing in her later years, she is a concubine of the Emperor.
The Gongshun Emperor's noble concubine came from the Niuhulu clan, the largest descendant of the Qing Dynasty, and her ancestor was Turge, the eighth son of the founding father of the Qing Dynasty, Tuerge, who was a very important general of the Emperor Taiji, who was ranked as the eighth minister and was given the title of Duke of Guoyi. At that time, turg's branch was the largest of the sixteen houses of Eydu, and its status was very high, but later Turg's son Kobso lost his title for sin, and this duke was inherited by Eydu's sixteenth son, Koubilon.
Although it lost the status of the Hongyi Principality, the Turge clan was still a family of eight banners, which was not comparable to ordinary people. Emperor Gongshun's father was named Shanqing, who had served as the head of the court, but Shanqing died as early as three years after Jiaqing, and did not wait for the day when her daughter entered the palace as a concubine, although Emperor Gongshun's concubine lost her father early, but this did not prevent her from entering the palace as a concubine, because Emperor Gongshun had a relative in the Harem of Jiaqing, she was the second empress of Jiaqing, Empress Xiaoherui, according to the generation, Empress Xiaoherui was a distant cousin of Emperor Gongshun.
In the sixth year of Jiaqing, the 14-year-old Gongshun Imperial Concubine participated in the Eight Flags Draft, successfully stood out, and was given the title of Ru guiren. At that time, Emperor Gongshun's noble concubine was at the age of Miao, looking young and beautiful, naturally she would be favored by the emperor, and in the third year of her entry into the palace, she became pregnant with a dragon species, Jiaqing heard that Gongshun was pregnant, and immediately long Yan Was pleased, and crowned her as a concubine, and the next year Gongshun gave birth to the eighth daughter of the emperor.
It is worth mentioning that on the day after Gongshun gave birth to the eighth daughter of the Emperor, her sister Empress Xiaoherui gave birth to the fourth son of the Emperor, Mianxin, at that time, Gongshun lived with Empress Xiaoherui in Chuxiu Palace, perhaps also for the convenience of caring for her children.
In the fifteenth year of Jiaqing, good news came out again in the palace, Gongshun was pregnant with the dragon species again, Jiaqing immediately ordered her to be promoted to ru concubine, and In the following year, Gongshun gave birth to the ninth daughter of the emperor, Princess Hui Gulun. Three years later, Gongshun continued to work hard to add another son to the 55-year-old Jiaqing Emperor and gave birth to the fifth son of the emperor, Mianyu, who was the youngest son of the Jiaqing Emperor.
In August of the 25th year of Jiaqing, as soon as the Daoguang Emperor succeeded to the throne, he honored him as an imperial concubine for the birth of Prince Mianyu of Huijun County, and subsequently, Gongshun and other concubines of the Jiaqing Emperor lived in the Shousan Palace (Shouzhong Palace), and it was the Rong concubine Liang clan who lived with Gongshun.
In March of the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang, who had enjoyed the life of a concubine for more than 20 years, he was seriously ill, and in order to give this mother concubine Chong Xi, the Daoguang Emperor ordered her to be honored as an imperial concubine, but he did not expect that this honorific title had received miraculous results, so that Gongshun's condition began to improve and was cured.
After that, Gongshun lived in the harem for 14 spring and autumn seasons, and died of illness in the Yuanmingyuan at the age of 74 in Xianfeng, and the story of this Imperial Princess of the Qing Dynasty who had gone through four dynasties (Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng) finally came to an end.
