In 1729, the Yongzheng Emperor held the only draft, and the 14-year-old Concubine Qian was favored by the Yongzheng Emperor and let the 56-year-old Yongzheng Emperor have a son. Unfortunately, Concubine Qian remained widowed for 33 years alone, and was also killed by her indisputable son.
People who have seen "The Biography of Zhen Huan" know that Zhen Huan has a girlfriend in the palace, that is, Shen Meizhuang. However, during the Yongzheng period in Chinese history, the Yongzheng Emperor's harem did not have a woman named Shen Meizhuang, but there was a woman in the Yongzheng Emperor's harem who had a very similar experience to Shen Meizhuang, and this concubine was the Qian Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu was born into an ordinary family of officials in the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty, and her father was not a major official in the imperial court, but the imperial court was the last official at that time. Therefore, the origin of Concubine Liu was not very prominent, and her family lineage was not noble among the many concubines of the Yongzheng Emperor.
However, The Qianfei Liu clan is also a solid family, and she is also very attentive to the education of Qianfei. Under the guidance of her parents, Concubine Qian is virtuous and virtuous, never argues with people, abides by the rules, and is a very responsible lady.
In fact, when the Yongzheng Emperor succeeded to the throne, he was already in his 40s, and there were many concubines in the palace alone. However, the new emperor still needed to be drafted to ascend the throne, so the Yongzheng Emperor held his only draft during his reign.
Due to family reasons, when Concubine Liu first entered the palace, she only agreed to her identity.
However, The Qianfei Liu Clan has a different temperament from the other concubines of the Yongzheng Emperor, her body has a very elegant temperament, full of vitality, and the Qianfei Liu Clan also has a very pretty face, so the Yongzheng Emperor is very fond of the Qianfei Liu Clan.
Not only that, Concubine Liu was also very sensible, and never competed with other concubines for favor, let alone jealous of the other concubines of the Yongzheng Emperor.
As a result, the Yongzheng Emperor felt that Concubine Qianfei was a very special woman, and concubine Qianfei was also deeply appreciated and loved by Yongzheng.
Soon after, Concubine Liu of qian jumped two levels in a row and was crowned a nobleman by the Yongzheng Emperor, giving him the title of "Qian". The Yongzheng Emperor's love for the humble concubine Liu Shi made his scenery infinite for a while, and he envied others.
Four years later, the 19-year-old Concubine Liu finally gave birth to the 56-year-old Yongzheng Emperor, who was the sixth prince of the Yongzheng Emperor, Wang Hongzhan of Guogong County, which made the Yongzheng Emperor Longyan very happy. However, later, this prince was passed over by the Yongzheng Emperor to Prince Guo.
The mother is precious by her son, and the humble concubine Liu Shi, who gave birth to an imperial heir, is even more pampered. The day after Concubine Liu gave birth to Hongzhan, the Yongzheng Emperor could not wait to order Liu Guiren to be made a concubine. At this point, Liu Guiren was officially ranked as a concubine, became a humble concubine, received all his grace, and was also a special one in the harem at that time.
Although the Yongzheng Emperor was grumpy, he liked Hongzhan more and more, and even had a beautiful image of a loving father. Perhaps, this is the reason why the Yongzheng Emperor has a son in his old age, of course, this is also related to Hongzhan himself's good reading.
Concubine Qian had been serving the Yongzheng Emperor with all her heart and taking care of her son Hongzhan. After the death of the Yongzheng Emperor, Concubine Liu began a 33-year-long widowhood. At that time, Concubine Liu was not yet 22 years old, and the two had been in love for less than seven years.
It is worth mentioning that before the Yongzheng Emperor died, he still took the hands of Concubine Liu and reluctantly said five words to her: "I can't bear you!" It can be seen from this that the Yongzheng Emperor was indeed deeply devoted to Concubine Qian in his later years.
The Qianlong Emperor became the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and considering that Yongzheng had once loved and admired Concubine Qian, the Qianlong Emperor did not embarrass Concubine Liu after he ascended the throne.
Not only that, the Qianlong Emperor also had great respect and kindness to concubine Liu Shi, not only honoring Concubine Liu as an imperial concubine, and holding a canonization ceremony, but also attaching great importance to Concubine Liu's son Hongzhan.
Therefore, under the illumination of his brother the Qianlong Emperor, Hongzhan lived a prominent and flamboyant life, and his life was very elegant.
If you live your life like this, Concubine Liu can also be regarded as a winner in her life in the harem. Unfortunately, fate did not care so much for her. Concubine Liu had a light and breezy life, but she was defeated at the hands of her own son.
Concubine Liu's son Hongzhan was an old son of Yongzheng, more or less spoiled and raised. At that time, Hongzhan was still young and did not pose any threat to the Qianlong Emperor, so the Qianlong Emperor was also very conniving with his brother.
After the Qianlong Emperor succeeded to the throne, he also attached great importance to Hongzhan and not only gave him generous treatment, but also often assigned him some important tasks.
Although the Qianlong Emperor attached great importance to Hongzhan, it was a pity that Hongzhan had been pampered since childhood, and did not learn from the prudence of his mother Concubine Liu, and even Hongzhan failed to live up to his mother's earnest teachings.
Therefore, Hongzhan did not cherish the attention of the Qianlong Emperor, but wantonly used the rights given to him by the Qianlong Emperor to wantonly amass wealth among the people, bully the people, do all kinds of bad things, and even do a lot of things that violate laws and regulations, which eventually led to a catastrophe.
When the Qianlong Emperor found out, he was very angry, and the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. So the Qianlong Emperor ordered that all of Hongzhan's positions and rights be withdrawn and deposed as commoners but his life was saved.
But I didn't expect that Hongzhan, as a son of the royal family, could not stand the life of a commoner, and was depressed and depressed, and it did not take long for him to die of illness.
Concubine Liu only had such a son, and she was also worried because of the wrong things her son had done, and every day she was trembling, like walking on thin ice, especially after her son fell ill, which made her feel sad even more.
So after learning of her son's death, Concubine Liu, who was under great mental pressure, could no longer hold on, and soon after she died. The Qianlong Emperor was so grieved by this that he quit the court for three days to pay tribute.
Looking back at the life of Concubine Liu, although she loved infinitely, she never showed it, and she was well versed in the way of moderation. However, her son was completely different from her, and finally ended up with the tragic end of a mother and son, which was really pitiful and sad.
