Title: In the 43 years of the harem without favor, Qianlong made Lin nobles concubines
Reading guide: In "The Legend of Harem: The Legend of Ruyi", Concubine Shu is infatuated, but the emperor deceived her with contraceptive pills, and the harem woman is just a tool in the king's heart. There is a noble concubine Lin in Qianlong's harem who has no sense of existence, and she has been a noble for 43 years, how did she do it?
Body:
In the early years of Qianlong's succession, a famous concubine entered the harem one after another, and they each expected to be favored by the emperor. However, for the women of the harem, the emperor's mind is the most difficult to fathom, and usually, they are just poor people who are bound in the high walls. And in such a harem, there is a concubine, she has been a noble for 43 years, and she was named a concubine, and this concubine is the Lin family.
Lin's background is very low, his father is a young Bai Tang'a, and she is likely to be a clothed Han girl from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Despite his humble background, Lin had the beauty of the country, so he entered the court and became a court maid at the age of 13. Soon, she attracted the attention of Emperor Qianlong and was named Lin Changzai.
The beauty of the first time she entered the court made the Lin family easily win the favor of Qianlong, and only three years later, she was promoted to Lin Guiren. However, it was difficult for beauty to maintain long-term appeal, and Qianlong gradually lost interest in her. As a clothed Han girl from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lin did not receive a systematic education and had a low cultural accomplishment, which could not be compared with Qianlong, who had a high level of cultural literacy. As a result, the Lin family gradually lost the favor of Qianlong.
However, it is worth noting that Concubine Lin's unfavored status allowed her to live longer than other concubines. In the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, she had been in the noble position for 43 years. In order to symbolically promote her position, Qianlong chose "Gong" in the title drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and became a concubine. Maybe the Lin family was a cautious concubine.
Concubine Lin spent another six years after Qianlong's death, and finally died in the Forbidden City in the tenth year of Jiaqing at the age of about seventy or eighty.
Concubine Lin's experience shows the impermanence and cruelty of harem life. Although she did not become a queen or a favorite concubine, she spent 43 years in the harem. Perhaps, this is also a kind of wisdom for the survival of harem women. They have to be cautious, patient and look for their own opportunities in the fierce harem struggle. For Concubine Gong Lin, although she did not gain the emperor's infatuation, at least she lived a long time, and she found her own peace in the harem.
Summary:
Concubine Lin was the longest-surviving unfavored person in Qianlong's harem, and she used caution and wit to maintain her presence in the harem. Her experience tells us that even if there is no favor, as long as you can remain calm and patient, you can find your own peace in the harem. In a world full of intrigue and unfairness, Gong Concubine Lin has earned a respect for her uniqueness and staying power. Her story may also be a revelation to the women in the harem life.
