Wu'a Ge Yongqi was a well-known prince in the Qing Dynasty, and the popularity of "Huan Zhuge Ge" made him famous and became the focus of people's attention. Regarding the women around Yongqi, there are also many interpretations in film and television dramas, such as clever and eccentric little swallows, full of economic paintings, etc., but these are after all fictional characters. So, which women did Yongqi have in history, and which one was her favorite?
According to historical records, Yongqi had a total of four wives and concubines, Concubine Fujin was Xilin Jue Luoshi, Side Fujin was SuoQi Luoshi, in addition, there were two concubines Hu Andruge. It is worth mentioning that the name of the side Fujin mentioned here was posthumously sealed, and the original name of the Sophie Luo clan was also a concubine.
Concubine Fu Jin Xi Lin Jue Luoshi was the granddaughter of the university scholar Ortai, ortai was highly valued in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and once had power, Yongzheng was awarded the auxiliary government before his death, however, after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Ortai engaged in a party dispute with Zhang Tingyu, which made Qianlong very disgusted. Ten years after Qianlong's death, Qianlong gradually rectified the E'er Party, and among the descendants of Ortai, only Yongqi Concubine Fu Jin Xi Lin Jue Luoshi had a better ending.
However, Yongqi does not seem to be interested in the concubine Fujin designated by her father, and only has a son (the sixth son) with her, and after Yongqi's early death, Xi linjue Luoshi spent the second half of his life in a long-term solitary empty house.
To say that Yongqi's favorite woman is undoubtedly the side Fu Jin Suo Luoshi.
Suo Qiluoshi was a clothed woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whose father was Zuo Du Yushi Guanbao, although Suo Qiluo belonged to the royal family's wrapping slaves, but this family was a famous wrapping family in the Qing Dynasty, especially known for its keju entry, and Suo Qiluo's father Guan Bao was born into the jinshi. Affected by the family environment, Suo Qiluoshi is very likely to have a high literary accomplishment, which is "in line with Yongqi", so Suoqi Luoshi will get Yongqi's favor.
From the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong to the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong, in just five years, Suo Qiluo gave birth to four sons for Yongqi in succession, including a pair of twin sons, that is, the fourth and fifth sons. However, of these four sons, only the fifth son, Mianyi, survived, and at the same time, Mianyi was also the only surviving son of Yongqi.
Later, Mianyi inherited his father Yongqi's title of Prince of Rongjun (荣郡王), and SuoQi Luoshi was posthumously awarded the title of Yongqi Side Fujin by Jiaqing. However, due to Yongqi's untimely death, Suo Qiluoshi also spent the second half of his life in loneliness.
In addition, Yongqi also had two concubines, namely Hu Shi and Ru Gege.
This Hu clan was most likely a Han woman from the folk, whose father was named Hu Cunzhu, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yongqi, of whom the daughter was the only daughter of Yongqi, who was later made a township prince by Qianlong and married to Banbar, the son of Lobzang Dolji, the prince of Alxa in Mongolia. Unexpectedly, however, this woman died early in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, so Qianlong married the daughter of Yongjun to Banbar, a relative of Wang.
As for the last Ru Gege, the historical records do not describe it too much, only that she died immediately after Yongqi's death, and it seems that she was also a poor woman.
