Speaking of the Qianlong harem, it can be said that it is all-encompassing, there are Manchurian yellow flags, there are also clothed people, there are foreign pet concubines, there are beautiful women from exotic styles, and there are some second-marriage widows from unknown sources who enter the Qianlong harem, such as Concubine Rong and Zhuo who Xiang Meizi wants to talk to you about today.
Rong Fei and Zhuo Shi, may not be particularly familiar to everyone, but if you say Xiang Fei, I am afraid that no one knows, such as Xiang Fei in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", Xiang Xiang Princess in "Book sword and Vengeance", Han Xiang Mi in "Ru Yi Zhuan", etc., are all portrayed with Rong Fei and Zhuo Shi as the archetype characters, and because of this, Rong Fei will be concerned by everyone, so what kind of existence is Rong Fei in history, and what kind of life experience does she have? Let's take a look!
According to the description of Rong Fei in the Qing History Manuscript: Rong Fei, He Zhuo, Huibu Taiji and ZaLain. Entering the palace for the first time, the number of nobles. Progressive as a concubine. swarming.
From this passage, it can be seen that RongFei is the daughter of Huibu Taiji and Zalai, from the Uyghurs of The Hui Department in Xinjiang, but for Rongfei's early experience, there is no historical record, but it is such a secret record, which makes us have a strong interest in this famous pet concubine who appears in film and television dramas and novels.
However, through understanding, it can be seen that when Concubine Rong entered the palace, it was Qianlong twenty-five years old, and Princess Rongfei at that time was already 27 years old, to know that in ancient times, the age of marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen years old, Rongfei had already passed the age of marriage when she entered the palace, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the women who entered the palace at an older age were not only Rong Concubines, such as The Emperor Taiji's favorite woman Hai Lanzhu, she had also married people before entering the palace, so we can infer that Rong Concubine had a marriage history before, that is, Rong Concubine married Qianlong as a "second marriage".
Princess Rong looks beautiful as a flower, fell into the country, after marrying Qianlong, she was deeply pampered, not only took her with her on every tour, but also specially invited her to return to the ministry of cooks, it can be said that the pampering is extreme, but it can be seen that she can enter the palace at such an old age and is also favored, which shows that her means are not ordinary, and we can see it through a small thing.
In the "Rehe Diary", the Korean envoys recorded a grudge between Qianlong's thirty years about Rong Concubine and Zhuo's clan and the successor Nala clan: In the thirty years of Qianlong, the empress lost Dongzhu, returned to the empress, searched for dongzhu Luanyi's guard's house, and then abolished the Cold Palace of Youzhi.
That is to say, after hui (that is, Concubine Rong and Zhuo), they accused the hou Nala clan of colluding with the palace guards to steal Dongzhu, and later found Dongzhu in the guards' home.
For this matter, we cannot determine whether the Nala clan really stole the jewelry after that, nor can we determine whether it was RongFei who framed the Nala clan, but it can be seen from the side that the status of the Nala clan in Qianlong's heart has been shaken, otherwise it would be impossible to appear to be searched for the palace, in other words, Rong Fei became the fuse of the empress's rupture.
When Qianlong returned from thirty years of southern tourism, the Nala clan completely fell out with Qianlong, fell out of favor and entered the cold palace, and died of illness in the palace. The biggest beneficiary was Ling Guifei, who was promoted to imperial concubine, and Rong Fei achieved Ling Guifei, who later commanded the six palaces and became the lord of the six palaces.
