In 1662, inside the Forbidden City, a grand wedding was underway. The whole court was filled with a festive atmosphere, with various banquets and entertainments one after another.
At this moment, a young girl stood in the center of the main hall, and she was waiting for Emperor Kangxi, who was many years different from her, to marry.
The girl's name was Ruolan, and she was a Manchu princess who was born into a powerful Manchurian aristocratic family. And Kangxi is her father's younger brother, and the two are implicated by blood. Because of political needs, Ruolan became Kangxi's wife, and she was canonized as the queen of the Manchu people.
Despite her young age, Ruolan shows intelligence and grace befitting her identity and status. She received a good education, was good at singing and dancing, and was deeply loved by Kangxi. Kangxi's affection for Ruolan can be seen, he praises her beauty and talent, and does everything he can to meet all her needs.
Ruolan, who lives in the Forbidden City, slowly adapts to life as a queen. She listened attentively to Kangxi's government affairs and helped him deal with the affairs of the imperial court.
Although she is still young, her sharp mind and independent thinking have made her Kangxi's right-hand man. Kangxi attaches great importance to her opinions and suggestions, and often asks for her opinions on government affairs.
Not only that, Kangxi also took good care of Ruolan in family life. He did his best to meet her needs in life, giving her the best clothes and treasures. They enjoyed music and dance together, enjoyed flowers and the moon together, and Kangxi took good care of Ruolan.
The relationship between the two gradually deepened in getting along, and Ruolan also fell in love with Kangxi deeply. Although their marriage began out of political necessity, they gradually developed a sincere relationship.
Kangxi found a confidant and partner in Ruolan, and Ruolan felt Kangxi's love and care As time went by, Ruolan gave birth to two sons by Kangxi's side, they were Yinzhen and Yinzhen.
This made Kangxi cherish and love the Manchu queen Ruolan even more, because she successfully bestowed herself on the descendants of the royal bloodline.
However, fate does not always go its way. In the process of giving birth to children, Ruolan gradually felt jealousy and strife from within the court. Kangxi's concubines were jealous of the status and favor of the Manchu queen, and began to plot against her in order to replace her.
In the face of jealousy and strife, Ruolan did not flinch. She showed tenacity and wisdom by Kangxi's side, and at the same time did not forget to care about the people and participate in government affairs. She handled the disputes between Korea and China in a fair and wise manner, and won more trust and gratitude from Kangxi.
Although she was plagued by the struggle for power in the court, Ruolan always maintained a deep love for Kangxi. She used her wisdom and gentleness to give him spiritual comfort and family warmth. Under her care, Kangxi was able to let go of the burden of the emperor and enjoy the happiness of the family.
However, there is always a turning point in the cycle of fate. Ruolan was enjoying happiness in Kangxi, but suddenly suffered from a serious illness. Although Kangxi never gave up taking care of her, the illness was still unstoppable. She eventually died at the age of twenty-seven.
Kangxi was saddened by Ruolan's death, and he deeply remembered the life of the Manchu queen with heartbreak and grief. He buried her in an imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing, and posthumously named her Empress Ren, expressing his deep affection and nostalgia for her.
Ruolan's death brought great trauma to Kangxi, and he lost his beloved and fell into deep grief. He missed her until he himself personally renovated his and Ruolan's mausoleums after many years of reign.
The life of the Manchu Empress Ruolan was short and legendary. Her marriage started from political needs, but under the nourishment of Kangxi's favor and love, it became a sincere and moving story. She won Kangxi's respect and favor with her intelligence and wisdom, and laid a solid foundation for Kangxi's dynasty.
