Today I want to tell you a legendary court story, a drama of "the concubine was resourceful and skillfully borrowed the position of the queen mother to protect the wealth" during the Qianlong period. This history is full of intrigue, emotion, and palace fighting, isn't it fascinating? So, let's start unveiling the mystery of this Qianlong harem!
First of all, let's get to know this court heroine - the "concubine" Wang during the Qianlong period. This concubine was born in Manchuria and was dressed in a white flag, and her background was quite noble. But after entering the palace, he lived a life like chicken ribs. Obviously, Qianlong raised so many concubines, but she was always bleak. Why? The reason is that the status is not noble enough, and the most fatal point is that there is no little prince. You know, in the scene of Gong Dou, this is a huge disadvantage.
So, the clever Wang thought of a plan, and she found that the Queen Mother was an excellent backer. She skillfully curryed favor with the Queen Mother, used various means, and finally touched the heart of the Queen Mother, and was promoted to Yongguiren, and even promoted to "concubine". In this way, she finally succeeded in advancing to the upper echelons of the harem, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the colorful harem life began.
However, the story is not over yet. In the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, Wang got his wish and became pregnant with a dragon heir and was named "concubine". thought that happy days were coming, but she didn't expect that she gave birth to just a little princess, not a long-awaited little prince. At this time, this little princess became Wang's magic weapon and kept her stable position in the harem.
The ingenuity of this plan and the Wang family's smugness made the other concubines in the harem unreachable. With his own ingenuity, Wang's life is getting more and more comfortable.
However, the good times were short-lived. In the forty-third year of Qianlong, the impulse made Wang beat a palace maid to death. This is not a small matter, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the light is to be demoted, and the worst is to be directly deposed. However, because Qianlong remembered that the little princess was young, he couldn't bear to punish Wang, so he punished her lightly. Soon after, she was reinstated as "Concubine Concubine".
This court story is always amazing, Wang's clever use of power and strategy, with the help of the Queen Mother, actually succeeded in maintaining his rich status. Her intelligence and wit are astonishing. Whether women in history were flattered or shrewd and capable, this story left us with deep thoughts.
However, just when we are rejoicing in Wang's ingenuity, her impulsiveness makes us see the cruelty and impermanence of the harem. This power struggle, although she successfully retained her position, also paid a very high price. This is a historical story and a representation of conspiracy, and such stories are not uncommon in harems.
It is in this story that we see the cruelty of harem battles, and also see the helplessness and wisdom of women in a specific historical period. Although Wang Shi promoted to the upper echelons through ingenious means, her ending was not exempt from the rules of the game of conspiracy.
Every woman in history has her own legend, which is their footprint in the long river of history. And this story is a corner of the harem power struggle. Perhaps, from these ancient stories, we can get a glimpse of the wisdom and helplessness of women in feudal society, think about the vicissitudes of history, and better understand the evolution of women's status in today's society.
In the eleventh year of Jiaqing, Wang died at the age of sixty-one. Her life may not be vigorous, but in that complicated harem, she wrote a legend in her own way. It is here that we lift the veil on this history and see the brutality of power struggles and the ingenuity of women.
History has always left us countless stories, and each story bears the imprint of the times. This palace legend gives us a deeper understanding of the changes in the harem during the Qianlong period. In the process of exploring history, let us cherish the current life more and strive for more equality and respect for women.
