Sometimes, there will be a lot of energy in the little people, they will create unexpected legends, and they are more likely to soar. Today, the author wants to talk about a lady around Jiaqing, this lady, by virtue of her personal efforts to win the favor of the Son of Heaven, and finally won the glory of the imperial concubine, she is the Emperor Yu guifei.
Emperor Heyu's noble concubine Liu Shi was a dressed woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her father Liu Fuming was just a Baitang'a with no grade, like Liu's origin, if she could enter the palace as a palace maid, it was already thankful, but the heavens seemed to be particularly kind to him, to give Liu a different experience.
In the forty-second year of Qianlong, the 16-year-old Liu Clan made the identity of a daughter into the fifteenth son of the Emperor Yongyan, and the envoys were actually servants who served the crown prince's side, and they were generally accepted by the crown prince as concubines. Sure enough, within a few days of Liu Shi coming to Yong yan's side, she became Yong Yan's woman, called GeGe. What was even more unexpected to Liu Shi was that she actually conceived Yongyan's child, and gave birth to Yongyan's first son in the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, that is, the later emperor's eldest son, Mu Junwang.
With the birth of this first son, Liu's status in Yongyan's submerged residence was instantly enhanced a lot, and Yongyan was even more fond of him, and two years later, Liu gave birth to a daughter, the later third daughter of the emperor and Princess Shuozhuangjing. Yongyan originally had thin heirs and was able to give birth to two children, which shows that Liu Shi was very favored by Yongyan.
After Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, all his wives and concubines were crowned, and Liu Shi was given the title of concubine. The word "諴" means true and sincere in Manchu, which shows that Liu Shi should be a relatively simple and simple woman, which is in line with the taste of The Standard Jiaqing. Moreover, just one year after Liu's entry into the palace, Empress Xiaoshurui of the Middle Palace passed away, and the noble concubine Niu Hulu took over the position of Empress Xiao Shurui and became the new lord of the six palaces, and after the Niu Hulu clan officially ascended the throne, Liu Shi became the second lord of the harem of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the head of the concubines.
In the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, the Jiaqing Emperor Xitian Emperor's eldest grandson Yiwei, LongYan Dayue's concubine of the harem, Liu Shi also followed the light, and was given the title of Concubine of Jin. However, although Liu Shi was already in a high position, she was very unsatisfied, and the eldest son of the emperor (King Mu Jun) born to her died after only one year of life, and another Princess Heshuo Zhuangjing also died in Jiaqing in the sixteenth year of Xiangyu, only 31 years old.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jiaqing, Daoguang succeeded to the throne, Liu Shi was honored as the imperial concubine of the Emperor Kaoxi, and the eldest son of the emperor she gave birth to was posthumously named the king of Mu County, it seems that Daoguang still gave this mother concubine a lot of face. Since then, Liu's body has also begun to decline, and his condition has gradually worsened.
In December of the thirteenth year of Daoguang, Liu Shi was bedridden and about to enter a state of death, Daoguang ordered him to be moved to Ji'an, and on the eighteenth day of this month, Liu Shi died of illness at Ji'an Suo at the age of 73, and was given the title of Noble Concubine of Emperor Heyu.
It is worth mentioning that after Liu's death, Daoguang specially ordered The heir of Princess Heshuo Zhuangjing, The monk Greenqin, who was Liu's grandson to wear filial piety, and two years later, Emperor Heyu's concubine was buried in the Xiling ChangLing Concubine Garden.
