In ancient Chinese feudal society, "under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister." As the existence of the highest status, the emperor usually has "3 palaces, 6 courtyards and 72 concubines", and every woman in the harem is eager to be favored by the emperor, and the same is true of the 13-year-old show girl Ma during the Qing Dynasty.
One night, Ma was suddenly "flipped over" by Emperor Yongzheng, summoned to bed, and was promoted the next day, but he was never flipped a year later, why is this?
Ma is an ordinary show girl in the Yongzheng harem, from an ordinary background, she often lies on the bed in the palace, restless. She misses the warmth of her hometown and the care of her parents, but she can only face the loneliness and endless waiting in the court.
In the harem, she is just one of many beauties, and the distance from the emperor seems to be separated by distant stars.
However, the twist of fate occurred on an inadvertent summer afternoon, when Ma was told that the emperor had turned over her sign, which was undoubtedly great luck for her when she had just entered the palace.
That night, the 52-year-old Emperor Yongzheng showed very little tenderness for the young show girl, but then it dissipated like a cloud. Her beauty stood out among many beauties, making Emperor Yongzheng remember her at a glance.
This is undoubtedly great luck for Ma, who has just entered the palace. But did she know that this short time of favor would be the most brilliant but also the shortest time of her life?
Emperor Yongzheng, an emperor known for his seriousness and profundity, was not particularly concerned about the affairs of the harem.
His mind was more focused on the struggle for government and power. But Ma's appearance seemed to make him temporarily let go of his heavy heart and give her unprecedented attention. During that year, Ma could see Emperor Yongzheng almost every night, and her status rose rapidly, from an ordinary show girl to a constant presence, which was extremely rare in the harem.
However, the good times were short-lived. Emperor Yongzheng's attention was short-lived and fleeting. Ma soon discovered that the emperor had never turned over her sign again. She went from being the center of pampering to a forgotten corner, a change that she couldn't get used to. Ma began to feel lonely and hopeless, and she didn't understand what she had done wrong and why it had come to this end.
Ma's fall from grace may be related to her failure to give birth to a dragon heir for Emperor Yongzheng. In the harem, childbirth is the foundation of a woman's foothold. Ma has no children, which puts her position in the harem in jeopardy. At the same time, Emperor Yongzheng's mind had been occupied by other affairs, and he no longer frequented the harem as often as before.
With the passage of time, the existence of the Ma clan gradually blurred in the mind of Emperor Yongzheng, and was finally completely forgotten. She spent long years in the harem, lonely and lonely. Her life seems to have passed quietly in silence, and she didn't even have a name left.
