There are many ways for people to die, but it is very rare to be scared to death, and there is a concubine in the Qing Dynasty who was scared to death, which also created a record, she was the only Imperial Concubine of the Qing Dynasty who was scared to death, and this concubine was the concubine of the Daoguang Harem.
Changfei was a woman from Manchuria with a blue flag, surnamed Hesheli, not from the same family as Empress Xiaochengren of Kangxi, but Changfei's family lineage was also very good, for example, her father Rong Hai had served as an envoy and envoy to Guangdong, and was in charge of the civil affairs of a province, and her mother, Ilgen Jueluoshi, was the daughter of the Taoist Qiming.
In the second year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, Concubine Chang was selected by the Daoguang Emperor in the Outer Eight Banners Draft, and was initially named a precious person, in addition to Changfei, this time also selected were Quan Concubine (Empress Xiaoquan), Xiang Guiren (Xiang Concubine) and other lords. Although among these selected show girls, the most favored by the emperor was Quan Concubine, but judging from the promotion in the early years of Daoguang, Concubine Chang was also very favored.
In the fourth year of Daoguang, Concubine Chang, who had been in the palace for less than two years, was crowned as a Zhen Concubine, and the next year, the Daoguang Emperor next ordered that she be promoted to ZhenFei, however, shortly after this edict, Concubine Chang suffered from gout paralysis and had been under treatment.
In November of the sixth year of Daoguang, Chang Concubine, who was originally happy and ready to accept the canonization ceremony, heard a huge bad news, the Daoguang Emperor suddenly ordered her to be demoted to Zhen Concubine, and the Golden Treasure of the Zhen Concubine that had been made was immediately melted, and there is no record in the historical records about the reason for Chang Concubine's demotion this time, and it is estimated that it may have a lot to do with the competition for favor between concubines in the early years of Daoguang.
At that time, the concubines who were favored by Daoguang were indispensable, and the concubines who entered the palace with Concubine Chang were not spared, and even the Jing nobles (Empress Xiaojing) who entered the palace in the later term began to have children, although Concubine Chang had been crowned as a precious concubine by the Daoguang Emperor, but she had not yet given birth, but this may also have a lot to do with her condition.
However, what Changfei did not expect was that this was only the beginning, in June of the ninth year of Daoguang, she was demoted again, from Zhen Concubine to Chang Guiren, and since then, Changfei's title has not changed at all, and she has been completely snubbed by the Daoguang Emperor.
If, according to the normal plot development, Changfei lived long enough, she would receive the title of new emperor after the death of the Daoguang Emperor, and then eventually grow old in the harem.
And it is. After the Xianfeng Emperor succeeded to the throne, Concubine Chang was honored as the Imperial Concubine of the Imperial Examination, and began the life of a princess, and sometimes came to the Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer, it is said that this Imperial Concubine of the Qing Dynasty loved to bathe, and the Yuanmingyuan was an excellent place to take a bath in the summer.
Ten years after Xianfeng, the British and French allies invaded Beijing, and the Xianfeng Emperor led his concubines to flee to the summer resort in the name of hunting in the north, while Chang Concubine, who was a concubine, actually stayed. Chang Concubine, who had lived in the harem for decades, was very frightened in the face of a coalition army like a bandit, and she was scared to death without thinking, and the imperial concubine of the Great Qing Dynasty actually completed her life in this way.
Because the capital was not stable at that time, the officials buried the body of Chang Concubine in a coffin, and then buried it hastily under the tamura funeral palace. In the following year, after the stabilization of the capital division, the newly succeeded Tongzhi Emperor ordered that Chang Concubine be posthumously named Chang Concubine chang and buried her back in Mu Dongling.
