I still remember when I watched "Huanzhu Gege", my favorite was the lively and cute, chivalrous Little Swallow, and the fifth elder brother who was dumbfounded and unconditionally favored Little Swallow.
At that time, I felt that their love was really "living a chic life with red dust", which was very enviable.
Later, when Zhihua appeared in the third part, and gave birth to the son Mianyi of the fifth elder brother's "continuous thoughts and billions of determinations", the three views were about to explode.
Unexpectedly, in reality, this little third brother is the love of the fifth elder brother's life, and Xiaoyanzi is the third party who inserts their love.
The real little swallow is not the smiling little swallow in "Huanzhu Gege", she is a famous lady who has been wronged all her life, Xilin Jue Luo.
01
Little Swallow, formerly known as Xilin Jueluo, was born in the famous Ortai family with blue flags.
Her grandfather Ortai was a veteran of the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and Yongzheng also gave him the honor of "worthy of enjoying the Taimiao".
His father is Ebi, the governor of Sichuan, and his mother is a noble daughter from the Guerjia clan of Zhenghuangqi.
With such a family background, it is impossible for Xiaoyanzi not to learn without learning, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
A lovely person like her is more than enough to match the prince, but why would she marry the fifth elder brother, an ordinary elder brother who is neither a concubine nor a prince?
This has to start with Qianlong.
Qianlong had a total of 17 sons, and the fifth elder brother was his favorite except for the 2 sons born to Bai Yueguang Fucha.
According to the records in the "Qing History Manuscript", the fifth elder brother Yongqi was born smart, able to ride and shoot well since he was a child, proficient in the languages of the Han, Manchu and Mongolian ethnic groups, and made achievements in arithmetic.
In terms of calligraphy, it is comparable to the "Qianlong Four".
Therefore, Qianlong was extremely satisfied with this son.
The only pity is that his biological mother Hai Jia was born lowly, and she was just a concubine Gege when Qianlong did not ascend the throne.
For the sake of this son, Qianlong also promoted Haijia's family from an obscure little Changzai to the position of Concubine Yu, giving Yongqi the greatest face.
Later, the son of the Fucha clan unfortunately died, and the position of crown prince was vacant again.
Qianlong couldn't sleep all night, so he made a circle on Yongqi's name.
However, Yongqi did not have the support of strong relatives behind him, even if he was given the throne, it would be difficult to sit firmly.
So, among the noble girls, Qianlong selected the Xilin Jueluo clan, which was the most capable of fighting in the family, and gave Yongqi as a concubine.
In this way, the Ortai family can become Yongqi's backing.
The Ortai family, which has won my heart, naturally knows that this is the road paved by the emperor's fifth elder brother, so everyone is very satisfied with this marriage.
In addition to the chess pieces, Xilin Jue Luo.
02
Where is there a secret in the circle of nobles in the capital, everyone knows that the fifth elder brother Yongqi has a childhood sweetheart.
She is the prototype of Zhihua, Suo Xue Luo.
For noble women, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and the concubines are just like subordinates, just send them at will.
However, Solo is different, she has a son.
And she has the blatant preference of the fifth elder brother, so from the moment Xilin Jue Luo entered the mansion, he was inferior.
Especially Xilin Jue Luo's character, he is as kind as a bun.
There is only one side Fujin in the backyard of the fifth elder brother, and the two concubines are Gege, and the Xilin Jueluo clan, who is the emperor's personal seal, can't stand up.
The heart of the fifth elder brother, Xilin Jue Luo's account for less than half of the points. Even people, she can't get around.
So much so that Suo Luo gave birth to 4 sons in a row, and his concubine Gege gave birth to 1 son and 1 daughter each, but Xilin Jue Luo was still empty on his knees.
Without a son and no husband's love, Xilin Jueluo had a hard time in the palace, and even the concubines would "step" on her feet.
Xilin Jueluo wept at the window for 8 years, until the Old Summer Palace caught fire in the 22nd year of Qianlong.
That year, Qianlong took a group of confidants and his sons to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer, but unexpectedly the palace where he lived caught fire in the middle of the night. And his younger brother and Prince Hongday, who lived closest to him and protected his safety, were nowhere to be found at the moment.
Only the fifth elder brother dared to break into the sea of fire and carried Qianlong out.
Qianlong looked at this son who didn't care about his own safety, he couldn't help but shed tears, and secretly vowed in his heart to put this pure filial son on the throne.
So, he canonized the fifth elder brother as Prince Rong.
The title of Prince Rong is extremely noble, and only the son of Concubine Dong E, who was Shunzhi's favorite, deserved to be posthumously awarded this title.
Therefore, in the imperial court, everyone understands that this is the future emperor.
If you want to be the crown prince, of course, your son-in-law is indispensable.
Xilin Jue Luo, this is the opportunity to conceive a son.
It's a pity that her son, who was held in the palm of her hand, didn't live for 21 days and unfortunately died.
Xilin Jueluo felt that his sky was about to fall.
However, what made her most devastating was that Yongqi, who was only one step away from the crown prince, contracted epiphysis sores.
This incurable disease made Yongqi finally die in the coldest winter.
03
A few years after Yongqi's death, Qianlong was still very good to his only son Mianyi, and let Mianyi go to school with his uncles.
However, where is the true family affection in the heavenly family.
Qianlong's grandchildren came one after another, and the unspecial Mianyi could only be ignored by everyone, and finally ended up guarding the emperor's mausoleum. And Yongqi's daughter, who was only crowned a county monarch, married to Mongolia.
The grandchildren are like this, not to mention the women in Yongqi's mansion.
They are like unclaimed objects, left in the palace forever.
Qiong Yao's little swallow may be a dream of Xilin Jue Luo.
In the dream, she was able to elope to Yunnan with the fifth elder brother, gave birth to two boys and two girls, and lived an ordinary life of working from the beginning to the sun and resting at sunset.
She is also an ordinary woman, and she also wants someone to love her, but unfortunately as a chess piece, she can't control her own destiny.
Xilin Jue Luo is like a flat boat, floating rootless in the patriarchal world.
The love she didn't get all her life was realized in a picture book.
If "Huanzhu Gege" was her parallel world, how nice it would be!
