Speaking of the most famous descendant of the Qing Dynasty, it is the Yellow Banner Niu Hulu clan, that is, the descendants of the founding father of the Qing Dynasty, Er Yidu, this family has produced six empresses, concubines are countless, today the author wants to talk about the two sisters from the Niu Hulu family, the sister was included in the harem by Qianlong, unfortunately fell into the water and died, the sister married Dao Guangfeng, but was buried three times after death.
The older sister was the concubine of the Qianlong harem, and the younger sister was Daoguangyuan and Empress Xiaomucheng.
First, let's look at the family lineage of the two sisters.
It is said that Hongyi also had a total of sixteen sons, the most prominent of which was the younger son, Shu Bilong, who became an auxiliary chancellor in the early years of Kangxi, and his two daughters were also included in the harem by Kangxi, one was Empress Xiaozhao and the other was Concubine Wen.
He had seven sons, and initially succeeded the third son of the Duke of Shubilon, Fakha, who belonged to a mother with Empress Xiaozhao and Concubine Wen. However, Alinga, the seventh son of Shubilon, was at odds with Faka, and Alinga even spread rumors of Fakha's adultery with his sister-in-law at the funeral of Concubine Wen. Although Alinga was not a good person, he was very capable and was heavily valued by Kangxi, and later the duke of Shubilon was indeed transferred to The head of Alinga.
The concubine I want to talk about today is the great-granddaughter of Aling'a, in addition, the sixth son of Shu Bilong is named Yin De, and Empress Xiaomucheng is Yin De's great-granddaughter, that is to say, Cheng Concubine and Empress Xiaomucheng belong to the cousin relationship.
Although Aling'a was highly regarded by Kangxi and was Yongzheng's uncle, Aling'a was an out-and-out Eight-Master Party, so Yongzheng was very jealous of Aling'a. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he executed Alson A(Cheng Concubine's grandfather), the whole family was sent to Xinzhiku, and the duke of Shubilong was transferred to the sixth son Yin De, until Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and the family of Cheng Concubine returned to their original nationality.
In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, Cheng Concubine participated in the Eight Flags Draft as a woman with a yellow flag, and was selected, and once she entered the palace, she was crowned as a Noble Lan, but then Cheng Concubine somehow angered Qianlong, and was demoted to Chang zai, and it was not until Qianlong thirty-three years ago that she was reinstated as a nobleman. In the forty-first year of Qianlong, Cheng Concubine was finally given the title of concubine after nearly twenty years of entering the palace. However, unexpectedly, a southern tour seven years later cost Cheng Concubine's life.
It was in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong, Cheng Concubine accompanied Qianlong on a southern tour, and did not expect to die in the water on the way back, which is extremely rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty, but due to the accident, Qianlong had no choice but to transport Cheng Concubine back to the Beijing Division and buried her in the Yuling Concubine Garden.
In contrast, Empress Xiaomucheng, Concubine Cheng's cousin, was luckier because she entered the palace according to the selection criteria of empress dowager Of the Qing Dynasty.
Empress Xiaomucheng was favored by the Jiaqing Emperor in the Eight Banners Draft in the first year of Jiaqing, and gave it to the emperor's second son Mianning as a concubine Fujin. Mianning was the eldest son of Jiaqing's concubine, and he was clever and clever from an early age, and was the heir to the throne that Qianlong and Jiaqing valued, so choosing Concubine Fujin for Mianning was actually choosing the future Empress of the Qing Dynasty.
However, what is unexpected is that this Empress Xiaomucheng is not only a sick seedling, but also unable to give birth to children, which makes Jiaqing very distressed, because Jiaqing is also anxious to hold her grandson. In the first month of the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, Empress Xiaomucheng died of illness in the palace as the crown prince Consort Fujin, at the age of 28.
At that time, Empress Xiaomucheng's identity was still that of the crown prince Consort Fujin, so the place where she was first buried was not the imperial tomb, but the garden of Wang Zuo village. It was not until after Daoguang succeeded to the throne that the empress's name was determined, and Empress Xiaomucheng was buried in the Baohuayu Underground Palace in Tanglin, but only a year later, the Baohuayu Underground Palace sawped water, so Empress Xiaomucheng was dug out of the tomb again.
It was not until the fifteenth year of Daoguang that Empress Xiaomucheng was finally buried in the Longquanyu Underground Palace in Xiling, later Muling, and the final title was: Xiaomu Wenhou Zhuang Su Duan Cheng Gong Hui Kuan Qin Fu Tianyu Shengcheng Empress.
