I believe that many people have watched the TV series "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" and are obsessed with the emotional entanglement between Empress Xiaozhuang and Dolgun and Huang Taiji. But we also know that in order to make the plot more dramatic, TV dramas always have to go through a certain degree of exaggeration, so is this really the case in history?
In fact, Huang Taiji and Empress Xiaozhuang are not a pair of love in reality, after all, what is the true heart in the royal family? However, after the development of science and technology, after we saw Xiaozhuang's restoration, we understood why Emperor Taiji did not love her, but Dorgon was obsessed with her.
A couple that lives in name only
We know that in ancient times, men could have three wives and four concubines. As for the emperor of a country, naturally he also has three thousand harem beauties and a group of wives and concubines. The women of the harem were no more than vassals of the emperor, and they were all political means.
The concubines in the harem, almost all of whom came from famous and prestigious families, were sent to the palace so that the family's career could be further improved. Although these people come from prominent backgrounds, their fate is still unable to decide for themselves, and they still have to obey the arrangements of their families.
Empress Xiaozhuang was born into the Borzigit family and was definitely an aristocrat at that time. Almost all the people in this family need to serve the family business and do not have the right to choose marriage independently. Therefore, Empress Xiaozhuang was not the first person to marry into the palace.
Before Empress Xiaozhuang, her two sisters were already concubines of the emperor. It is just a pity that in the harem of the mother and son, the sisters of Empress Xiaozhuang did not give birth to sons, all of whom were daughters. This also led to the fact that empress dowager Xiaozhuang's sisters did not have a high status in the harem.
You know, the harem is a place where people eat people and don't spit bones. It was almost impossible to walk without the Grace, and for Empress Xiaozhuang's sisters, it was not a good life.
The turmoil in the harem will actually involve various incidents in the former dynasty, and the status of Empress Xiaozhuang's sisters also affects the status of the Borzigit family in the palace. Therefore, the Borjigit family will be eager to send Empress Xiaozhuang to the imperial palace in order to maintain their family's position in the government.
For the emperor, the harem beauty of three thousand, originally a large number of people, so naturally more filial piety empress dowager is not much. Moreover, the Borzigit family is also useful to themselves, so naturally they will not refuse a beautiful person to enter the palace to serve themselves, even if they don't like it, they can be raised in the palace.
Therefore, from this point of view, there was no emotional basis between The Emperor Taiji and Empress Xiaozhuang. The two did not even meet much, but Empress Xiaozhuang still had to enter the palace and become a concubine of the Emperor Taiji.
Why did Huang Taiji dislike Empress Xiaozhuang
As mentioned earlier all day, The Emperor Taiji himself did not let her into the palace because he liked Empress Xiaozhuang. But what made people feel strange was that for a while after Empress Xiaozhuang entered the palace, Emperor Taiji still did not have any feelings for her.
It is said that a one-day husband and wife are 100 days of grace, and a 100-day couple is like the depth of the sea. Emperor Taiji and Empress Xiaozhuang have been together for so long, why do they still not like Empress Xiaozhuang?
In fact, the main thing is that Huang Taiji already had a favorite concubine at that time. According to historical records, Emperor Taiji was very fond of the pet concubine Hai Lanzhu at that time, she was almost favored by the sixth palace, and no woman's status could catch up with her. Therefore, even if Empress Xiaozhuang is a newcomer, it is difficult to fight against old love, and Huang Taiji is always reluctant to look at her more.
In addition, archaeologists have found after historical examination that Empress Xiaozhuang was at the age of Miao when she married into the palace, and she was a young girl like a flower. Both emotionally and physically, they are very young and immature, which may be one of the reasons why Huang Taiji did not like Empress Xiaozhuang.
After all, Emperor Taiji was two rounds older than Empress Xiaozhuang at this time, and seeing such a young girl was like seeing her own daughter, and she would not have other thoughts. All kinds of reasons add up, and the strange emperor Taiji will not like Empress Xiaozhuang.
However, some people also raised their own questions, was it because of Empress Xiaozhuang's appearance that Emperor Taiji did not like her? There are so many women in the harem, and the Emperor Taiji naturally likes to be beautiful. Maybe it's because Empress Xiaozhuang is not beautiful enough?
The true appearance of Empress Xiaozhuang
Although the Qing Dynasty is the closest feudal dynasty to us, to this day, the history of the past is still hundreds of years away from us. Therefore, there is no way for us to go back and see how people looked at that time, whether they were snowy or plain?
Even if we can see the portraits of ancient people, we know that the techniques of court painters always have to be beautified to a certain extent, so it is difficult to see what the appearance of ancient people is.
But fortunately, with the development of science and technology, we now have more advanced technology to restore the appearance of ancient people. In this way, the true appearance of Empress Xiaozhuang was restored by scientists. Is she really as salt-free as some people have guessed?
In fact, according to the scientific and technological means of housing, we can find that Empress Xiaozhuang is not ugly. On the contrary, he has his own unique beauty. Empress Xiaozhuang's cheeks are relatively full, perhaps because she is still young, has not yet faded green, and has baby fat.
But there is no doubt that Huang Taiji is not young at this time, and his aesthetic will naturally change with age. Therefore, the young-looking Empress Xiaozhuang naturally did not arouse his interest.
However, Dorgon is different from Huang Taiji, he and Empress Xiaozhuang are similar in age, so all aspects will be more compatible. Therefore, Empress Xiaozhuang, who has a good appearance, can naturally let his heart belong.
epilogue
Through the above analysis, we can also see that in the choice of the other half, it may be turnip greens, each with its own love. Everyone's aesthetic is different, and the aesthetic of the individual will change with age and the passage of time, so Emperor Taiji and Dolgun will have different attitudes towards Empress Xiaozhuang.
It is only a pity that although Empress Xiaozhuang has a prominent family, a noble status, and her own appearance is also very beautiful, she has to sacrifice her good years for politics. This is the sadness of women in feudal society. Fortunately, women today don't have to endure such treatment anymore.
