The Qingmu Tomb is the mausoleum of the Daoguang Emperor, where Min Ning was buried with Empress Xiaomucheng of the Niuhulu clan, Empress Xiaoshencheng of the Tong Jia clan, and Empress Xiaoquancheng of the Niuhulu clan. However, Daoguang had many women in his lifetime, and what happened to other women, according to the ancestral system of the Qing court, all the women who were not eligible for burial were buried in the emperor's concubine garden. Mu Dongling was the concubine bed of the Daoguang Emperor, where Empress Xiaojing and 16 concubines were buried.
Concubines in the narrow sense, Zheng'er Bajing must be more than a concubine to be recognized as a concubine, in a broad sense, as long as the emperor's woman is a concubine. Among the 17 concubines of Mu Dongling, one of them was the lowest status, that is, the good consent of the Daoguang Emperor.
Promise is the lowest ranking woman in the palace, and there are also constant presence, nobles, concubines, concubines, concubines, imperial concubines, and empresses. Generally speaking, only women who have just entered the palace and have a particularly poor family background will be crowned as a promise, and after spending some time in the palace, they will always be promoted step by step, or they will be posthumously awarded a higher title. Like Mu Promised, promised before death, or promised after death, it is really rare, at least in Mu Dongling is the only case.
Mu Promised that after entering the palace, he would have a very high status and a bright future. Her name is Hesheri, which is one of the eight surnames of the Manchu people, and belongs to the mingmen. She was the Manchu Yellow Banner, the head of the Eight Banners, which made the emperor look up. At the time of Daoguang's second-year draft, Herschel entered the palace. This year's draft, there are many people who later gained favor, And Xiao Quancheng Empress Niu Hulu Clan, Xiang Concubine Niu Hulu Clan, and Chang Concubine Hescher Clan were all selected this time. She was also crowned as a nobleman along with everyone else, and from this point of view, Daoguang was not dissatisfied with her, and they were all treated equally.
However, the fate turned accordingly, and the two Niu Hulu clans were favored one after another, and were quickly crowned as full concubines and xiang concubines, especially full concubines, and the speed of upgrading was staggering, and the degree of favor was also amazing. After giving birth to children, the whole concubine was even more uncontrollable, and became an empress in just a few years.
Mu Guiren actually caught up with a good time, when there were many concubine positions in the palace, and it was not too difficult to promote. But the emperor's favor was limited, and he favored all the concubines, and his love for others was naturally much less. Although niuhulu was made a full concubine in less than a year, Mu Guiren did not have such good luck, and she stayed up for nearly eight years before she was told that she was crowned a concubine.
At this time, she was really not lucky, she was born so noble, but she stayed up for such a long time, and even borjigit, who entered the palace later than her, was also named a concubine. However, even though her name had been determined, the golden book of canonization had been completed, and the ceremonies were ready to be held, the Daoguang Emperor had sent down a will: Mu Concubine was demoted to a noble person.
For this wordless change, it is very stunned and incomprehensible. At that time, it was believed that Empress Xiao Quancheng had a bad relationship with the empress dowager and was not strong in the palace, so she took advantage of the emperor's favor to demote many concubines to show her status. There is some truth to this statement, but it is still very far-fetched, because the queen is favored by all other women, which is less than the sum of all other women, so why should it be so?
An even bigger blow awaited Herschel, and in the same year, she was demoted two more levels, from a nobleman to a promised one. This was the title we saw now, and until the fifteenth year of Daoguang, she was always the lowest position in this palace, and there was no change. In the same year, Herschel died in sad despair, leaving only endless regrets, and at this time, she was only twenty-seven or eight years old.
Other concubines were like this, and later emperors might have been posthumously, probably because her status at the time of her death was too low, and she died too early and seemed to be forgotten. Neither Xianfeng nor Tongzhi succeeded to the throne, but did not posthumously seal her, so she became the lowest-ranking woman in Mu Dongling.
