The Shunzhi Emperor favored Dong Efei, but he did not love Dong Efei exclusively, Zhu Yuanzhang loved Empress Ma, and it did not prevent him from giving birth to dozens of children with other concubines.
As the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty after entering the Customs, the Shunzhi Emperor Fu Lin also inherited the amorous character of his father, and the story between Fu Lin and Dong E's clan was almost the same as the love between Emperor Taiji and Hai Lanzhu of the Qing Dynasty.
Many people sighed at the story between the Shunzhi Emperor FuLin and Dong Eshi, but there was still a discrepancy between the rumors and the reality.
The Shunzhi Emperor was indeed extremely partial to the Dong Eshi clan, but this did not affect the Shunzhi Emperor Linxing and the others, the number of people in Fulin's harem was still quite large, and the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin, who died at the age of twenty-four, had a large group of children under his knees.
In the eighth year of Qing Shunzhi, Fu Lin's concubine Yu Bashi gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Niu Niu for him, and Fu Lin was only thirteen years old at the time, and he was still a hairy child in today's words, but at that time, he had become a father.
Perhaps it was the lack of parents who were born young, and Niu Niu died before he was one year old, and in the following year, Concubine Ning gave birth to the emperor's second son Fuquan, and then there was Xuan Ye, who was born to Tong Jia, that is, the future Kangxi Emperor.
From the eighth year of Shunzhi to the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, that is, the year before the death of the Shunzhi Emperor, children were born in the harem almost every year.
According to the records of the Qing Dynasty, there were thirty-seven famous people in the harem of the Shunzhi Emperor, which was not a small number during the Qing Dynasty, and there were eight sons and six daughters under the knees of the Shunzhi Emperor, and the survival rate was still very high.
Speaking of the personal life of the Shunzhi Emperor, what has to be said is the story between him and the Xiaoxian Empress Dong Eshi, it seems that in most people's minds, the Shunzhi Emperor is a person who does everything for the Dong Eshi.
Empress Xiaoxian of the Dong E clan, one of the three banners of the Zhengbai banner, was the daughter of the minister of the interior, Eshuo, but she entered the palace very late, and did not enter the court until the thirteenth year of Qing Shunzhi, but was soon favored.
Less than a month after entering the palace, Dong Eshi became the Great Fu Jin of the Western Palace, and was crowned as an imperial concubine, second only to the empress.
There is no doubt about the favor of Emperor Dong'e's noble concubines, because from the relevant texts, the Shunzhi Emperor's eccentricity towards Dong E's clan is too obvious, and if it were not for Empress Xiaozhuang's obstruction, Dong E's becoming empress would not be completely impossible.
But it should be noted here that Dong Eshi entered the palace in the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, before that, the Shunzhi Emperor already had three sons and three daughters, and after Dong E's entry into the palace, Although Fu Lin loved, he was not the favorite of the special room.
The year after Dong E's entry into the palace, he gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, who died prematurely before he had time to take a name, and was crowned prince of Rong, and at the end of the year in which Prince Rong was born, the fifth son of the emperor, Chang Ning, was also born.
The birth of Chang Ning also proved that during Dong E's pregnancy, Fu Lin was not idle in the harem.
Shortly after Prince Rong's death, Emperor Dong'e's concubines also died together, and after that, Emperor Shunzhi had several children come to this world, to put it bluntly, the love of Emperor Shunzhi Fulin was not all placed on Emperor Dong'e's concubines.
The Shunzhi Emperor Fulin ascended the throne at the age of six, married at the age of thirteen and had his first child, and died young at the age of twenty-four, which was only ten years old, and he had fourteen children under his knees, which was really not inefficient.
In fact, the royal family has always attached great importance to heirs, and the prosperity of the imperial family is very important, so the emperors have so many harems, and the harem of the Shunzhi Emperor has so many people, of course, it is convenient for him to leave children.
Dong Eshi was indeed the true love of the Shunzhi Emperor, but it did not prevent the Shunzhi Emperor from physically releasing himself.
Feelings and body may not always be in harmony, Dong E's family before entering the palace Shunzhi Emperor has a bunch of children, Dong E's entry into the palace will not hinder the Shunzhi Emperor from having a baby, Fu Lin is the emperor after all, and extending his heirs is also one of his tasks.
In the official texts of the Qing Dynasty, it is recorded that the Shunzhi Emperor died because of smallpox, but in many legends, the Shunzhi Emperor did not die at an untimely age, but because of the death of Dong Eshi, he broke through the red dust and went to Mount Wutai.
However, from a practical point of view, the rumors in the anecdotes are not believed, the Shunzhi Emperor is indeed very fond of Dong E's family, but it may not be able to reach that point, after Dong E's death, there are still children born in the palace, which is the best proof.
Fu Lin's feelings for Dong E's family are indeed true, but Fu Lin is not dedicated, but affectionate.
There have always been countless emperors who have been affectionate, Liu Bang to Lady Qi, Liu Che to Lady Li, Li Shimin to Empress Changsun, Li Longji to Yang Guifei, and so on, but none of them prevented them from having children with other harems.
Perhaps to put it bluntly, the Shunzhi Emperor and other harems had children, more like completing his task, for example, when Dong Eshi gave birth to Prince Rong, the Shunzhi Emperor once said bluntly: "The first prince of The Shunzhi Dynasty was finally born." ”
However, in fact, before Dong E's entry into the palace, the Shunzhi Emperor had three princes under his knees, including Xuan Ye, but it seemed that in his eyes these children were not his children, only Dong E's concubines were born.
It is also rare to be so generous over the other, and this can also be seen that Dong Efei's weight in the mind of the Shunzhi Emperor.
All in all, the Shunzhi Emperor did have a deep affection for Concubine Dong, and the two were soul mates, but this was different from the shunzhi emperor and other children in the harem, life was life, work was work, this was different.
