An old photo, an empress disgusted by the emperor. The photo below is one of the few images left by the empress of suffering. The person on the left in the photo is an attendant, and the person on his right is the last empress in the history of the Qing Dynasty, Yehenara Xingzhen.
Empress Longyu in the photo is full of fatigue, although she is the body of the empress, it cannot relieve her inner sorrow. Xingzhen was the niece of Empress Dowager Cixi and the cousin of the Guangxu Emperor. In order for her mother's family to be prosperous and rich forever, Cixi made this family affair to the Guangxu Emperor. The Guangxu Emperor did not like this long-faced cousin, but due to Cixi's power, the Guangxu Emperor could not and did not dare to resist.
Unlike what Yehenara Xingzhen expected, she did not live the good life she imagined after marriage.
The Guangxu Emperor was afraid of Empress Dowager Cixi's prestige and stayed away from his wife, never taking the initiative to go to the empress's dormitory on the fifteenth day of the first year. Empress Dowager Cixi also had a lot of hatred for this niece, and she originally thought that Xingzhen could tie up the emperor and give birth to several princes.
After the Hundred Days Restoration failed, the Guangxu Emperor was imprisoned in Yingtai. For her husband's indifference, Empress Longyu did not pay attention to it at all.
A huge imperial palace, only she dared to visit the emperor. The result of each visit is that she has become the emperor's venting bucket, and her body is full of bruises, Rao is so, Empress Longyu still loves the emperor unswervingly.
After Guangxu's death, Cixi followed suit, and Long Yu became the most noble person in China at that time. At that time, the death knell had sounded in the Qing Dynasty, and within only three years, the Qing court was forced to announce the abdication of the emperor. In 1913, in the remembrance of her former country and her deceased husband, Empress Dowager Long Yu died.
However, what people did not expect was that the funeral of Empress Dowager Long Yu was extremely grand, the last big funeral of the Qing Dynasty, her funeral was personally organized by Yuan Shikai, a total of 50,000 people from all walks of life participated in the mourning, Li Yuanhong called her "female Zhongyao Shun".
The fate of this Empress Dowager Longyu, who was indisputable, suffered grievances during her lifetime, but praised after her death, is ironic!
