In the history of the late Qing Dynasty, when it comes to the first beauty of the Qing Dynasty, who do you think of? Is it the famous "Yehe old woman" Dong Ge in history, or the white moonlight Dong Efei in the heart of Emperor Shunzhi? However, the real faces of these historical ladies are not preserved in the photos, and it is difficult to distinguish the winners and losers from the portraits alone. Therefore, the title of "the first beauty of the Qing Dynasty" finally fell to Sigege in the late Qing Dynasty.
After all, her beauty cannot be concealed even in black and white photos. Sigege was born noble and was the daughter of Prince Qing Aixin Jueluo Yixuan. Yi Liang was an important minister of the clan in the late Qing Dynasty, and later became the king of the iron hat, and became a celebrity around Cixi with his clever tongue, and was highly valued by Cixi. In order to consolidate his position, Yixuan sent the young Sigege into the palace to serve Cixi.
Si Gege was born with a beautiful appearance and was smart and clever, so she did her best to win the love of Cixi and strive for more development space for her father in the court. According to his father's arrangement, Sigege's education was carried out exactly according to Cixi's taste. Cixi likes literature and art, and Sigege is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; Cixi likes to play mahjong, and Sigege has also been learning since she was a child.
For as long as she can remember, her life has been filled with courses and she has not been able to pursue her interests as freely as her peers. If you look at the photos of Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty, you will find that she was always accompanied by a melancholy beauty. Although she rarely smiles in photos, she is beautiful enough to make harem concubines unmatched. However, she is not a harem concubine, but the daughter of Prince Qing: Sigege.
Inheriting his father's intelligence and beauty, Si Gege became the most favored celebrity around Cixi. However, although the outside world seems to have grown up beside Cixi and is deeply favored by Cixi, it means enjoying all the glory and wealth, in fact, behind this glory lies endless pain. As she grew older, Yixuan couldn't wait to send her into the palace, and Sigege lived up to expectations and became the most favored celebrity around Cixi.
The ancient photographs of the four grids show her beauty and the special relationship she had with Cixi. As the daughter of the prince, Si Gege always stood by Cixi's side, clearly showing Cixi's love for her. However, this favor also brought a lifetime of torture to Sigege. Cixi began to intervene in Sigege's marriage, and although according to tradition, the marriage should be decided by her parents, Cixi married Sigege to the ninth son of her close minister, Fu Lu.
Despite Sigege's reluctance in her heart, out of thought of her father and family, she still got married. Fortunately, Sigege's husband is a talented and thoughtful person, allowing her to experience happiness and freedom for the first time. However, this happiness came short-lived. Cixi felt lonely and frequently summoned Sigege into the palace to accompany her, so that she could not leave for a long time.
Although he was able to endure repression when he accompanied Cixi in the palace before, after having a family, Si Gege could no longer endure this torture. For the sake of her father, her family, and now her husband, she had to endure the pain in her heart and pretend to be strong. However, tragedy struck one after another, her husband died of illness, and Sigege begged Cixi to let her go back to see her husband off for the last time. Cixi agreed, but summoned her to the palace again during Sigege's mourning.
Under Cixi's intensified intervention, Sigege was forced to endure endless suffering. Si Gege's tragic experience: Cixi's selfishness and viciousnessAfter her husband's death, Si Gege had to perform on stage immediately, which made her inner pain unimaginable. This incident reveals the selfishness and viciousness of Cixi, who has no regard for the feelings of others.
After facing this incident, Sigege could no longer bear it, and she found her father, Prince Qing, and asked to leave the palace, but was violently reprimanded by her father. Yixuan warned her not to be bold, if she angered Cixi, the entire Qing Prince's Mansion would be implicated. In desperation, Sigege could only return to the cold palace and become Cixi's marionette, and it was not until Cixi's death that Sigege was able to regain his freedom.
However, at this time, she has passed away and can only die alone.
