She was the longest-lived princess of the Qing Dynasty, with a pitifully low title, but she lived for 82 years after five dynasties

In ancient society, the princess was a title for the daughter of the emperor, and during the Nurhaci period before the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the daughter of the emperor was the same as the daughter of the general nobleman, and was called Gege, but after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor Taiji stipulated that the daughter of the emperor was called a princess. During the Qing Dynasty, most of the princesses were victims of political marriages, and their marriages were not happy, so there were not many long-lived people, so which was the longest-lived princess in the Qing Dynasty?

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the princess who could live to the age of 60 was already considered to be a long life, and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, there was no biological daughter around her, so she adopted three nieces as adopted daughters, one of whom was the daughter of the deposed prince Yin, that is, Princess Heshuo Shushen. Yongzheng's adopted daughter lived until Qianlong's forty-ninth year before dying at the age of 77, which is extremely rare among all the princesses of the Qing Dynasty. However, this princess was not the longest-lived, and the longest-lived was one of Nurhaci's daughters, the seventh daughter of the countryman.

Nurhaci had a total of eight biological daughters, the eldest daughter DongguoGe and the third daughter Mang guzige, and the others were basically the daughters born to concubines.

The seventh girl we are talking about was in 1604, when the Later Jin regime had not yet been established, and Nurhaci was in the ascendancy of his career, constantly attacking the surrounding tribes, acquiring large tracts of land and cities, and of course beautiful women, including a woman named Ilgen Kyaw Roche, who was the mother of the seventh daughter.

Since Ilgen felt that Luo's mother's family had no background, her status in nurhaci's harem was not high, and she was only a concubine. For this daughter born to Irgen Jueluoshi, Nurhaci did not even look at it, and finally only gave a title of a township prince.

So, what is the rank of this township prince title? According to the regulations, the Qing Dynasty's gege rank was divided into county lords, county lords, county lords, county lords and township princes, this township prince was the lowest first class, to be honest, even the daughter of BeiZi was even higher than this title, which showed how low the status of this seventh daughter should be.

Nurhaci obviously did not pay much attention to the marriage of this daughter, and casually found a person named Otoi, who was a general in Nurhaci's army, from the Nara family, who died in the conquest in 1641, at this time, Nurhaci's seventh daughter was only 36 years old. Logically, this seventh daughter still had the opportunity to remarry, because the Qing Dynasty did not have tight control over remarriage at that time.

However, there is no record of the seventh daughter remarrying in the historical records. According to historical records, this daughter of Nurhaci lived until the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, and through the Five Dynasties of Mandate of Heaven, Tiancong, Chongde, Shunzhi and Kangxi, she became a veritable princess of the Five Dynasties, in addition, her 82-year-old life expectancy was also second to none among the princesses of the Qing Dynasty.
