In ancient times, women did not have the right to choose their own marriage, especially if the person you want to marry is the emperor, no matter how unreasonable, you must accept it. The girl we are talking about today was sent to the palace by her family at the age of 15, and Became husband and wife with Yongzheng, who was 36 years older than herself, and after getting the favor of Yongzheng, she gave birth to a little prince, when Yongzheng was 56 years old, and two years later Yongzheng fell ill and said 5 words to the girl on her deathbed.
This girl is the humble concubine Liu Shi, the father is the steward Liu Man, when he was 15 years old, Liu Shi was sent into the palace by his father and became a show girl, when Yongzheng was already a 51-year-old man, but there were still a large number of little girls willing to come to the palace and become the emperor's concubines. Liu Shi is very lucky, although young, lively and cheerful, good looking and cute, Yongzheng is very fond of her, soon after entering the palace from a promise to be promoted to Liu Changzai, and then promoted to Liu Guiren, you must know that many women have been suffering for several years to have this qualification.
And the Yongzheng Emperor was a well-known model worker, before he ascended the throne, he immersed himself in his own career every day, and he did not pay much attention to the love of his children, and after becoming emperor, he dealt with the folds presented from all over the country day and night, working at two or three o'clock in the morning every day. According to historical records, there were only 8 concubines above the concubines in the harem of the Yongzheng Emperor, of which 7 were given by the Kangxi Emperor before Yongzheng boarded the plane, and the other was a humble concubine, who was hand-picked by the Yongzheng Emperor.
After Concubine Qianfei was favored by the Yongzheng Emperor, what everyone could not believe was that the 56-year-old Yongzheng Emperor could still get old and have children, and after Concubine Qianfei gave birth to the sixth prince Hongyao for Yongzheng, her mother was immediately promoted to concubine, and the next year she was promoted to concubine. However, at this time, Yongzheng's sudden illness had died. According to records, before Yongzheng died, he also took Concubine Qian's hand and told her: "It is really happy to have you." ”
In fact, we all know that there were not many harem women in the Yongzheng Emperor's life, and most of them were given by the father and emperor, no matter which concubine they did not like much. And Qianfei is also the same, the Yongzheng Emperor Xu in his later years saw the vitality of the young people from Qianfei, which made him quite emotional, and getting along with Qianfei can make him feel relaxed and happy, temporarily forgetting many things waiting to be handled in the court, that is to say, the Yongzheng Emperor did not talk about how much love for Qianfei, And Qianfei only appeared at the right time at the right time, which won the love of the Yongzheng Emperor for many years.
After the death of the Yongzheng Emperor, the humble concubine, who was just in her early twenties, began to live a widowed life. Because according to the etiquette of the time, the formal concubines of the emperor's harem were not allowed to leave the palace, and could only be arranged to spend the rest of their lives in the small courtyard of the harem. Concubine Qian was a cheerful personality, not to argue, qianlong also had great respect for her after she ascended the throne, and in the second year after the death of the former emperor, a canonization ceremony was held for Concubine Qian, and she lived to the age of 54 in this deep palace compound, and was buried in the Garden of Concubine Tailing after her death.
Although Concubine Qian began to live a widowed life at a young age, her life was still relatively peaceful, there was no fight between harem concubines, and she also got the favor of the Yongzheng Emperor in her later years, these are many harem women who may not be able to ask for it in their lifetime, and there are sons who can come to see themselves from time to time, for her, although the second half of her life is desolate, it is not so miserable.
