Before the hit costume drama "The Biography of Zhen Huan", I believe most friends have seen it! The prototype of the heroine Zhen Huan in the play is Empress Xiaoshengxian, the mother of the Qianlong Emperor, and Qianlong's ascension to the throne has also improved the status of Zhen Huan's mother clan to a certain extent. It is said that there was a woman who was the granddaughter of Zhen Huan, who was only 13 years old at the time, married to Qianlong, and she had never been favored by Qianlong in her life. Everyone must be curious, what kind of person is this?
In fact, this woman who was not favored by Qianlong was Zhen Huan's niece and granddaughter Cheng Concubine. Cheng Concubine was born in the Niu HuLu clan and was born with a golden spoon, and Cheng Concubine's grandfather was also highly valued by Kangxi, but later offended Yong Zheng because he did not support Yong Zheng's ascension to the throne, and this estrangement was not restored until qianlong ascended the throne.
When Cheng Concubine was 13 years old, she participated in the Eight Flags Draft and became the best person favored by the emperor. When he entered the palace, he was crowned as "Lan Guiren", which was the title of Cixi when he entered the palace, and it is not difficult to see how much the emperor attached importance to this niece and granddaughter of Zhen Huan. However, the good times did not last long, and it was not long before the emperor was relegated to "constant presence", for unknown reasons and was not recorded in the history books. But fortunately, with Zhen Huan's backstage, she still has the opportunity to be re-pampered, but she can't go back to her original appearance. Cheng Concubine also struggled for more than ten years before Xin returned to the identity of "nobleman", and then when Qianlong was 41 years old, she was named "Cheng Concubine", and the reason was only because Qianlong sympathized with her for many years before making this decision. In the second year after being promoted to "Cheng Concubine", Zhen Huan died, after all, people cannot be resurrected from the dead, and Cheng Concubine has lost her only backstage in the palace forever, and life is becoming more and more difficult. Until qianlong 49 years, on the way back from another southern tour, Cheng Concubine unfortunately fell into the water on the boat, and when she was rescued, she had no breath.
When the emperor learned of this, he simply ordered his subordinates to bring her body back to the capital and bury her body in the concubine garden. For the death of Concubine Cheng, Qianlong's mood did not fluctuate greatly, and It was as if Concubine Cheng had never been loved. A woman from a prominent background is so sad in the second half of her life.
