During the Qing Dynasty, the emperors' requirements for concubines were very high, not only requiring these concubines to be born in the Eight Banners, but even in appearance and the virginity of women that the ancients valued most for women, they paid special attention to it, and even the length of the arms of the negative concubines had strict requirements when they were more stringent, which showed that they were not as simple as we saw on TV, and the women who entered the palace must be innocent, but today Xiaobian wants to tell you that this person is different, she is 30 years old and married to the emperor, It took only 5 years to become a favorite concubine, and after her death, Qianlong also boycotted the dynasty for 3 days!
If you look at it from a modern point of view, the Qianlong Emperor is definitely a standard rich second generation. Before his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor and his father, the Yongzheng Emperor, built a rich country for him, when he ascended the throne, he was already a peaceful and prosperous world, and naturally he could sit on the dragon chair and enjoy the wealth of the world. Therefore, there are many women in Qianlong's harem, but when it comes to Qianlong's most beloved woman, the first thing people think of may be Empress Fucha, who is Qianlong's original wife, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, but it is a pity that Empress Fucha died early, and Qianlong can only continue to miss her.
In addition to Empress Fucha, there was another woman who was very unusual at that time, that is, Concubine Yu. Because at that time, the emperor's concubines generally had to pass the three-year draft, only girls under the age of 14 could participate in the election, and those who were selected could enter the palace to serve the emperor, and those who lost the election would go home and marry themselves. Therefore, at that time, the age of normal marriage was 14 or 15 years old, and more than 20 years old was the "oldest leftover woman". However, this Yu concubine was very different, she entered the palace when she was nearly 30 years old and became the emperor's concubine.
Yu Concubine, borjigit clan, daughter of Zhai Sangen Dun, born on December 15, the seventh year of Yongzheng, the history records that Yu Fei's life is not prominent, it can be said that it is a very ordinary family, but Yu Fei looks very beautiful, and although Yu Fei is a Manchu, she grew up in Jiangnan, so she carries the gentleness and thoughtfulness of a Jiangnan woman. Unlike other concubine drafts, she was offered by her own people. Princess Yu's matriarch was not close to Daqing in history, and she chose to pay tribute only because she was in Outer Mongolia, and the unfavorable environment made their tribe a natural disaster for many years, and finally had to choose to rely on Daqing.
However, before that, Princess Yu was actually married, but she had never had children, because she could be said to be the most beautiful woman in the family, so she could only be pushed out as a gift, and then Princess Yu entered the palace and became Qianlong's concubine. As soon as she entered the palace, she was named a "nobleman". In the second year after entering the palace, her position was promoted, from a noble person to a concubine of Yu, and in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong, that is, after five years of entering the harem, she was crowned as a concubine of Yu. She became the emperor's favorite concubine in only 5 years, which shows that Qianlong's love for her is definitely not ordinary.
Although Princess Yu was favored by Qianlong, she did not live long, and died of illness in the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong at the age of 45, accompanying Qianlong in the harem for fifteen years. Compared with other concubines, she only accompanied the emperor for more than ten years, but the emperor had a deep affection for her, because she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, so the emperor ordered his two brothers and a princess to wear a ma dai filial piety for this favored concubine. Even he himself, the king of a great country, was rarely saddened by the death of this concubine, and even went on strike for 3 consecutive days to mourn his beloved concubine.
