Qianlong enjoyed the reputation of "Kangqian's prosperous life", but those who understand naturally do not need to say much, during Qianlong's reign, there was no less tossing.
The Qianlong Emperor, who built palaces and went down to Jiangnan many times, boasted of his own style, left seeds everywhere, and there were 43 registered concubines. According to the number, this is not much, but if it is not registered, it must be several times more.
Qianlong reigned for sixty years as the "Ten Perfect Old Men", living until the age of 89. According to the emperor's pressure and hard work, the Qianlong Emperor's body was really not ordinary.
In the year of his death, his son, the Jiaqing Emperor, also enriched him with two teenage concubines. It can be seen from this that the Qianlong Emperor lived a really happy life in this life.
In 1799, the 89-year-old Qianlong completed his brilliant life. The Jiaqing Emperor could finally breathe a sigh of relief and be at ease to do some things on his own.
As a new emperor, the first thing is to deal with the affairs of the old father's death properly, and no matter how anxious he is, he cannot be labeled as unfilial.
Qianlong left Jiaqing not only a cash machine "Hezhen", but also left him 9 little mothers. Of the more than forty concubines registered, by 1799 AD, there were only 9 left.
According to the usual practice, if the old emperor died, his concubines, in addition to being required to be martyred, the rest were all packed up and sent to the cemetery to guard the spirits.
Because Qianlong was relatively able to live, most of the concubines were killed by Qianlong, and the remaining concubines were also older. Therefore, he did not arrange martyrdom or spiritual guarding, but directly sent them to the "Cining Palace".
Before placing, in order to facilitate the distinction, first make them an upgrade on the title.
Originally an empress, the title was directly upgraded to empress dowager. It is the imperial concubine, directly promoted to the imperial concubine, is a concubine, and becomes the imperial concubine.
The remaining 9 did not have an empress, and the highest status was also a noble concubine, so the Jiaqing Emperor directly packed them up and sent them to the Cining Palace together.
Those who often watch film and television dramas also know that the "Cining Palace" is mostly the residence of the empress dowager and the empress dowager, as long as it is a person who lives in the Cining Palace, it is definitely a person who lacks a husband.
Many people have ridiculed the "Cining Palace" as a "widow's house".
When Qianlong died, those old noble concubines of the same period had all been dried up by Qianlong's boiling oil lamp.
Two noble concubines:
At the age of 13, Princess Wan guifei married Hongli, who was still the crown prince.
At first, Wan Guifei was promoted more quickly, and she was already promoted to a nobleman at the age of 21. By the age of 33, she had been promoted to a concubine. In this position as a concubine, she stayed for 46 years.
The reason for this is more because she has no heirs. Because of this, she gave more love to Jiaqing, making Jiaqing respect her.
After Qianlong's death, Jiaqing gave her the title of Princess Wangui and gave her extra care in life. When Qianlong died, Princess Wan Guifei was 83 years old. Due to the relatively good care of the Jiaqing Emperor, after Qianlong's death, she lived for another 9 years, and did not die until the age of 92.
The overall promotion road of Ying Gui Tai Fei was relatively smooth, and it took only ten years to upgrade from Chang Zai to Fei. The Jiaqing Emperor also took good care of this noble concubine, and arranged for her and the noble concubine to live together.
In 1800 AD, Princess Yinggui, who had just passed her 70th birthday, died.
Two toffeees:
Concubine Huan was the mother-in-law of Fengsheng Yinde and the mother-in-law of Princess Gulun and Princess Xiaoxiao. As we all know, Qianlong especially liked Gu Lun and Princess Xiao, and in this case, Concubine Huan and the Qianlong Emperor were naturally more in love than Jinjian.
Concubine Huan took the favor of the Qianlong Emperor and acted arbitrarily. He also made a scene of beating the palace maid to death, which angered the Qianlong Emperor.
Not to mention the demotion, it also angered the Qianlong Emperor. Since then, Concubine Huan has had ups and downs and has never regained Qianlong's favor.
After Qianlong's death, Concubine Huan lived another 8 years, until 1806, when she died at the age of 61.
The other concubine, who had been married to Qianlong since the age of 15, was not very well received. As can be seen from this, no woman can always be favored by the emperor.
Princess Fang was also like this, stumbling until she was 25 years old, and she was crowned a nobleman. After that, Fangfei was left behind, and stayed for nearly twenty years at the level of a nobleman.
After Qianlong's death, the Jiaqing Emperor was also good to Fangfei and was directly promoted to Fang taifei. But this Fang Taifei was also a blessed person, and after only three years of canonization, she died at the age of 52.
Concubine Jin and Shou Guiren:
These two guys came into the palace in the year of Qianlong's death, and they thought they were the most unlucky two. From the moment they were chosen, they were destined to be a tragedy.
Princess Jin was also a legend, after Qianlong's death, she began the road of widowhood after her promotion, and even lived until the Daoguang years. The Shougui people were not so lucky, and only ten years after Qianlong's death, he died of depression.
After all, the loneliness in the courtyard of the deep palace is not something that everyone can bear.
Concubines, Nobles, Andi Nobles:
These three people put together, can be simply summarized into the most inconspicuous category. They were not late in entering the palace, but it was summed up in one sentence, that is, they did not succeed in attracting Qianlong's attention.
After Qianlong's death, the Egui people lived for more than ten years at the age of 76. In addition, those two people are not bad, living to Jiaqing for 10 years and Jiaqing for eight years, at the age of 68 and 62 years old.
The Great Qing passed into Jiaqing's hands, and to tell the truth, it had begun to decline. But in any case, the Jiajing Emperor was really very thoughtful in dealing with this group of concubines left behind by Qianlong.
