The Yongzheng Emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaogongren (德妃), was one of the concubines with the largest number of children in the history of the Qing Dynasty, with a total of six children, in addition to Yongzheng, there were also the sixth son of the Emperor Yinzuo, the fourteenth son of the Emperor Yinyu, the seventh daughter of the Emperor, the ninth daughter of the Emperor and the twelfth daughter of the Emperor. However, of the three daughters born to Empress Xiaogongren, only one survived to adulthood, and she was the ninth daughter of the Emperor, Princess Gulun Wenxian (the fifth princess).
On September 20, 2012, Princess Wenxian was born in the Forbidden City, and at that time, the princess's mother, Wu Yashi, was already a concubine of one of the four concubines, and was deeply favored by Kangxi. Moreover, before Wen Xian was born, wu Ya had already given birth to three children for Kangxi, namely the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, the sixth son of the emperor, Yin Zuo, and the seventh daughter of the emperor, and the birth of Wen Xian undoubtedly played a role in icing on the cake.
However, this Princess Wenxian has her own uniqueness.
For example, after Princess Wenxian was born, she was not raised by other concubines, and Kangxi sent her to the empress dowager's palace, where she was personally raised by Empress Renxian, which shows that in Kangxi's eyes, Wenxian is very unique. Just to say that in terms of treatment, Princess Wenxian is much better than other princes. In a copy of the Kangxi Dynasty Manchu Zhu Ping, it is recorded that the monthly supply of princesses, the four princesses (Princess Kejing) and the sixth princess (Princess Chunyi) each have only four pounds of pork, while Princess Wenxian has half a goose and a chicken.
Moreover, Princess Wenxian was very intelligent from an early age and received a good cultural education, for which the Imperial Dynasty Literary Dictionary once recorded: "Princess Er showed Ziwei, Opened Silver Han, and yu Ci min from swaddling." Love is every time you live in joy, and the day is not contrary to the left and right. The weak are taught, the wisdom is dreamed, the sex is self-pleasing to the poetry book, and the line is harmonious in the history of proverbs. It is said that the husband Jingfu Ji will enjoy forever, and the husband Xiuling will be the home of the uncle of the Yuan, and he will comfort the love of the relatives. ”
Historically, words such as "wisdom" are rarely used to evaluate a woman, and Princess Wenxian's book has such a description as "clever and dreamy", which shows that Princess Wenxian is indeed a very intelligent princess.
Of the eight adult princesses of the Kangxi Dynasty, six married to Mongolia, and only two remained in the interior, one married to Princess Heshuo Huanjing, who was a first-class male grandson, and the other to Princess Gulun Wenxian, who was married to Shun'anYan.
So, what is the origin of this Shun Anyan?
It turned out that this man named Shun AnYan was the grandson of his uncle Tong Guowei, the son of Ye Keshu, the former envoy of Luan Yi, so it was not surprising that for the Kangxi Dynasty, the most profound and profound was the Half Dynasty Tong family with the background of imperial relatives and state relatives, and Princess Wenxian was able to marry into the Tong family without any grievances.
In the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, the 17-year-old Wen Xian was crowned Princess Heshuo and married shun an yan of the Tong family, and two years later, princess Wen Xian accompanied her grandmother Empress Renxian and her father Kangxi to Rehe to escape the heat, but unexpectedly, Princess Wen Xian, who was only 20 years old, actually died of heat stroke.
At that time, hearing the news of the princess's death, Kangxi was very sad, and even did not eat or drink for this, and finally, in order not to make the empress dowager too sad, he was able to eat.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng, who had just succeeded to the throne, posthumously named this only adult sister Princess Gulun Wenxian, which was also considered to have broken the ancestral system, but Princess Wenxian's mother, Wu Ya's mother, was already an empress dowager, and It was reasonable that Wen Xian could be promoted to Gulun.
