When it comes to princesses, although they look glamorous on the surface, they are actually not so dazzling, especially when it comes to marriage, they have no autonomy and are victims of political transactions. Even if some princesses refuse to make peace, they still dare not rebel against the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and finally have to submit, and the one I want to talk about today is one of them, she is the third princess of Yongzheng, that is, Princess Heshuo Duanrou.
Princess Heshuo Duanrou was born in the 53rd year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the father of Yunlu the Prince of Heshuozhuang, and the mother of Yunlu Fujin Guoluoluo. Some people may wonder, since Duanrou is the daughter of the prince, how can she become a princess?
It turned out that Yongzheng had four biological daughters before he succeeded to the throne, but only the second daughter (Princess Heshuo Huaike) lived to adulthood and only lived to be 23 years old, and this princess had already passed away when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne. Therefore, when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he did not have a daughter around him, which was very unfavorable to the policy of Huairou Mongols.
As a result, Yongzheng adopted three daughters.
They were the sixth daughter of the deposed prince Yin Rong, the eldest daughter of Prince Zhuang Yunlu and the fourth daughter of Yin Xiang the Prince of Yi, and these three princesses were respectively raised by the second princess, the third princess and the fourth princess, and were raised by the court.
Among the three adopted daughters of Yongzheng, Duanrou (the third princess) is undoubtedly a special one, she has been clever and clever since she was a child, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her father is a hereditary iron hat king, and she is also the eldest daughter of the concubine, so Duanrou has a little more brutal and willfulness, and her popularity is no less than that of the fourth princess (Princess Heshuo and Hui).
In the eighth year of Yongzheng, news suddenly came out of the palace that the emperor was going to marry Duanrou to Mongolia, and when he heard the news, Duanrou immediately cried and made a big fuss, and did not eat for three days and three nights, in order to refuse to marry far away to the border cold land. In this regard, how could Yongzheng be willful, so he ordered that the princess be imprisoned in a small black house, and if she did not make peace, she would die, so Princess Duanrou gave in, and she had to accept the fate of marrying far away.
In this year, the third princess was given the title of Princess Heshuo Duanrou and married to the Mongolian Horqin Tribe, and the donkey was the little prince of the Horqin Department, Zimmert Dolji. However, Duan Rou also made a request to his father Yongzheng, asking for more household slaves and multiple circles of land, for which Yongzheng met his daughter's requirements one by one.
Later, in the eighth year of Yongzheng, Qianlong married a clan daughter to the Mongolian Horqin Department, and she was the younger sister of Princess Duanrou, the fourth daughter of Prince Zhuang Yunlu, who was married to Lasinamzar. However, this county lord did not live long, and died in the seventeenth year of Qianlong, at the age of 29. Princess Duanrou was also a person with a red face and a short life, and she died only two years later than her sister, at the age of nineteen in Qianlong, at the age of 41.
