If you want to say that the most unfortunate woman in this Qianlong harem is none other than the Nala clan, this woman who once stood on the top of the Forbidden Purple And had unlimited scenery lost her grace because she angered the Heavenly Son of the Qing Dynasty, and ended up with an end that was not abolished and abolished, and died tragically in the Cold Palace. Today, I want to talk about the luckiest woman in the Qianlong Harem, she is the Qinggong Emperor's noble concubine.
Regarding the family lineage of The Noble Concubine Lu of the Qinggong Emperor, the official record is very brief, only that she was born in the second year of Yongzheng, and her father's name was Lu Shilong. However, an incident in the twenty-second year of Qianlong revealed for us the origin of the Qinggong Emperor's noble concubines.
In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, Lu Shilong, the father of Emperor Qinggong's concubine (who was then divided into Concubine Qing), donated an official at his own expense, and Anning, the jiangsu envoy of the Concubine Dai Jia clan of Xin, reported the matter to Qianlong, who ordered the clan of Emperor Qinggong's noble concubine to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs and set up a yellow flag to lead them, and also had the uncle of Emperor Qinggong's concubine be sent back to Changshu to be strictly disciplined.
Through this incident, we can learn that the noble concubine of the Qinggong Emperor, Lu Shi, was a changshu person from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and was originally a folk Han woman who was not in the flag.
According to palace regulations, a woman of birth like Qinggong Emperor Guifei could not participate in the draft, so how did she enter the harem of the Qing Dynasty? There is no record in the historical records of the time when The Noble Concubine of the Qinggong Emperor entered the palace, which can just reflect that she entered the palace through abnormal channels.
During the Kang Yongqian period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a custom in the Jiangnan region to offer beautiful women to the imperial court, and the Qinggong Emperor's concubines were likely to be one of them.
According to historical records, Qinggong Emperor Guifei had been enthroned as Changzai before The Thirteenth Year of Qianlong, but her real rise was in April of the thirteenth year of Qianlong, this month, she was named a nobleman, and began to receive the attention of the whole palace, three years later, Qinggong Emperor Guifei was again crowned as Qing Concubine, becoming the lord of the first palace, and with her was another woman, she was Ying Concubine, that is, the later Ying Guifei.
Some Qing Dynasty harem history enthusiasts believe that Emperor Qinggong's concubine was childless in her life, and she did not receive qianlong's favor. However, in fact, it may be the opposite, for the emperor to continue to give birth to prove that a woman is very favored, not to give birth to the emperor can not prove that a woman is not favored by the emperor, that is, the infertility of the Qinggong Emperor's concubine may have other reasons, such as physical condition and so on.
Flipping through the historical materials, it was found that since the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the Qinggong Emperor's concubines had continuously raised their ranks, and by the thirty-third year of Qianlong, they had been promoted to Qingguifei and ranked second. Moreover, Qianlong made six southern tours, and The Qinggong Emperor's noble concubines accompanied him three times, and what was even more unexpected was that Qianlong let the Qinggong Emperor's noble concubines raise the fifteenth son of the emperor, Yongyan, who was born to Concubine Ling, that is, the later Jiaqing Emperor.
This arrangement revealed two messages, first, Qianlong had great trust in Qinggong, and second, the relationship between Qinggong and Concubine Ling should be very harmonious, it can be said that they are like sisters. It was also this opportunity that completely changed the status of The Qinggong Emperor's noble concubines in the qing harem.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, that is, the day after Jiaqing's pro-government, a holy decree was issued: "From the age of self-righteousness." Raised by Princess Mengqing's adoptive mother. No different from the birth mother. Le Edron Ceremony. Jia Jin Chongfeng. He is posthumously honored as a noble concubine of the Qinggong Emperor. ”
Although At this time, Emperor Qinggong's concubine had been dead for more than twenty years, but her family was taken care of, for example, Jiaqing rewarded the princess of Qinggong Emperor's noble concubine's nephew Lu Songling, which was simply a great grace for an ordinary folk family, and it was not too much to say that she was the luckiest woman in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
