Most of the ancient women have a virtuous and virtuous personality, but there are also heroic and compelling types, but these two are too single, and the ideal should be what we now call "the hall, the kitchen" woman. Living in the harem is even more so, and those who have watched the palace fighting drama should know that there are many women in the emperor's harem, and in the hearts of these women, there is a common goal, that is, to survive in that environment, and even hope to obtain a certain status.
But this is not easy, for the women of the harem, not only must have a gentle and virtuous personality, but also at the critical moment to be able to grasp the overall situation, to be a person who can do both inside and outside. In his harem, there was a woman named Huifei, who did not seem to have much attention in history, but judging from some of the things she did at key moments, she could be called a very intelligent woman. So, what is the story of Huifei?
Huifei, Nala clan, the daughter of Zhengwu Pinlang Zhongsorhe, born in a famous family, her own family power is still very powerful, so the family does not forget to cultivate her, Nalashi has received a very orthodox education since childhood, at the same time, although she is Manchu, but the Confucian culture of the Han nationality also has a great influence on her, the ancient etiquette for the Requirements of nala-style, she can do it one by one, not only gentle and frugal, but also knowledgeable and dali, has always been loved by the elders in the family.
Such a woman who grew up in a traditional environment also has her resolute side. After entering the palace, the Nala clan gave birth to two sons to the Kangxi Emperor, and the first young prince died prematurely in his infancy, which made her very distressed, and then she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Yin Yu, fortunately, the emperor's eldest son grew up smoothly.
Power struggles were not only inevitable in the harem, but also in the imperial court. In the famous struggle of "nine sons and concubines", the people of the imperial family also inevitably used some superstitious techniques, and as the son of Concubine Hui, Yin Yu actually used the magic of witchcraft against the deposed prince Yin Rong.
Although Yin Rong had been deposed, Kangxi still liked him very much, and Yin Yu used this inhuman method to poison his brother, making Kangxi unacceptable, greatly annoyed, and wanted to punish Yin Yu severely. In a hurry, Yin Yu's mother, Concubine Hui, stood up, and instead of crying and crying to the emperor and begging for forgiveness, she wrote a letter to the emperor, which said that Yin Yu, the child, had no filial piety since childhood, and this time she made such a mistake, only begging the emperor to lock him up and let him reflect on himself.
This "plea for forgiveness" letter seems to be giving Yin Yu a crime, but in fact it is a retreat to advance, indicating that he understands the great righteousness. At Princess Hui's suggestion, Kangxi eventually kept Yin Yu a life and put him under house arrest, allowing him to live his old age without worry about food and clothing. And Yin Yu can have such a good result is still due to his mother, otherwise it is very likely to backfire.
