The last emperor Puyi had five beautiful wives in his lifetime, namely Empress Guo Buluo Wanrong, Shufei Wenxiu, Xianggui Tan Yuling, Fugui Li Yuqin, and wife Li Shuxian. Now the focus is on the last empress Wanrong, is she really as beautiful as the photo? After reading this set of old photos, you will understand.
Guo Buluo Wanrong, the wife of the last emperor Puyi, the last empress in Chinese history, her beauty and talent were the most eye-catching of all the noble ladies in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and her reputation was well-known in aristocratic circles. The word Wanrong and her word Mu Hong come from "Roselle Endowment", "Fei Ruo Feng Hong, Wan Ruo You Dragon." "Gentle people are beautiful and kind, their status is noble, but they can't be loved by Puyi, behind this glitz, it is full of sorrow."

Wan Rong's father, Kwok Boro Rongyuan, was an enlightened man who was then minister of the Interior and had always advocated equality between men and women, believing that girls should be educated in the same way as boys. Therefore, in teaching Wanrong to read and learn to read, play the piano and draw, she also specially hired Ms. Ren Sam, an American born in China, as an English teacher. As a young lady of the Daur banner family, the rich and prosperous living environment, prominent family status, national culture and traditional culture education have had a profound impact on Wanrong, and also created her unique personal charm.
Wan Rong was elected to the palace and became the last empress in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and was elected not because of her beauty and versatility, but at the insistence of Emperor Jin's noble concubines, Puyi was reluctantly circled. Wanrong's status was noble, and she could have lived a happy life, but from the moment she stepped into the palace, she was doomed to a miserable life.
When she first entered the palace, Puyi was still very fond of Wanrong, and also hired an English teacher for her. Graceful and delicate, elegant in conversation, dignified in demeanor, extraordinary in manners, soft on the inside and soft on the outside and full of kindness, she is a noblewoman who combines the advantages of Chinese and Western cultures. Due to Puyi's health, the two have been childless since marriage.
Since the divorce storm between Wenxiu and Puyi in 1931, Puyi has pushed all the faults that brought him great shame and humiliation on Wanrong's body, according to Puyi's description in "The First Half of My Life": "Since she (Wanrong) squeezed Wenxiu away, I have become disgusted with her, rarely talk to her, and pay little attention to her affairs, so I have not heard her own mood, bitterness and wishes from her mouth. I only know that she later contracted a drug (opium) addiction. ”
The complete breakdown of the relationship between Wanrong and Puyi was in 1935, when she became pregnant due to an ambiguous relationship with Puyi's attendant, puyi was enraged, and he thought that this was Wanrong's unforgivable fault and beat her into the cold palace. At the same time, Wanrong became the puppet Empress Manchu, and her every move was monitored and restricted by the Japanese, all of which caused Wanrong's body and spirit to be on the verge of collapse, which was lamentable.
