If you want to talk about Emperor Qianlong's harem, there are many stories of "three thousand beauties", and when Qianlong was 88 years old, he pampered a 13-year-old concubine.
It's just that on the night of the bedtime, the 13-year-old concubine was very scared, and Qianlong, who looked at the old dragon clock, was even more frightened.
But why did Qianlong still want to accept a new concubine at this age?
The lonely shadow of Shoukang Palace
Shoukang Palace used to be the most lively place in the Forbidden City, and the queen mother's concubines ate and drank spicy food, and lived a comfortable life.
But for the Jin Concubine Fucha clan, who has been in Shoukang Palace for most of her life, this place is no different from the golden wire cage, and she is trapped until she is old.
Thinking about it, this Fucha clan didn't close his eyes until the Daoguang years, and he lived for so long, and it was hard enough.
You said that she was a woman's family, and she was sent to the palace since she was young, and she didn't live a good life in the end, what a sin.
Not to mention that she has experienced the five dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang in her life, and she can be regarded as a "living fossil" of the Qing Dynasty.
But what's the use of that? It's not alone in Shoukang Palace.
Speaking of which, this Concubine Jin was also a smart girl when she was young, who would have thought that she would be on such a show.
If it is put to the present, it has to be free love, find someone of the same age, have a baby, and the family is lively, then it is called life.
But before she could enjoy a few years of happiness, she was forced to put on a gorgeous dress, and was wrapped in a quilt by the eunuchs and carried into Qianlong's bedroom. started his life as a concubine in a daze, what's going on?
"Like! It's so similar! ”
In the second year of Jiaqing, a grand draft was held in the palace to select harem beauties for the young Jiaqing Emperor. Among the well-dressed show girls, a delicate-looking girl attracted the attention of Emperor Jiaqing.
"Like! It's so similar! Emperor Jiaqing stared at the girl and muttered to himself.
This girl is from the Shaji Fucha clan with the yellow flag in Manchuria, only 13 years old, and is the great-granddaughter of Mi Sihan, an important minister in the early Qing Dynasty.
Looking closely, between her eyebrows and eyes, she is somewhat similar to Emperor Qianlong's beloved, Empress Xiaoxianchun Fucha.
Flipping through the resume of the Fucha clan, Emperor Jiaqing was even more moved: it turned out that she was the cousin and granddaughter of Empress Fucha!
Thinking of this, a thought came to my mind: wouldn't it be an excellent "gift" to give this woman with a similar appearance to Empress Xiaoxian to the Emperor Taishang?
At that time, although Emperor Qianlong had already taken the throne, he still held the power of the court, and Emperor Jiaqing was not comfortable as the emperor.
In order to curry favor with Emperor Taishang and stabilize his position, Emperor Jiaqing took great pains. And giving this Fucha clan, who resembles Empress Xiaoxian, to the Emperor Taishang is definitely an excellent choice.
In this way, the 13-year-old Fucha clan had no time to envision a bright future for becoming the concubine of Emperor Jiaqing, so he was sent to the palace of Emperor Qianlong-Shoukang Palace.
And what kind of fate awaits her, who can predict?
Emperor Taishang's "White Moonlight"
At that time, the Fucha clan naturally couldn't understand Emperor Jiaqing's good intentions, let alone what kind of old man he was about to face.
The 88-year-old Qianlong has long passed the age of "loving the country and loving the beauty more".
However, in the life of this legendary emperor, there has always been a woman in his heart, which is his wife, Empress Xiaoxianchun Fucha.
The love between Qianlong and Fucha is a famous story in the Qing Dynasty. Fucha is a beautiful lady with a gentle personality and is very popular with Qianlong.
She gave birth to two sons and two daughters for Qianlong successively, but unfortunately died one after another, which brought a huge blow to the Fucha clan and made Emperor Qianlong feel distressed.
In order to let his beloved wife distract, Emperor Qianlong took Fucha to "tour the south" many times, but fate made people, and during a trip to the east, Fucha died of illness at the age of 37.
The death of his beloved wife made Emperor Qianlong grief-stricken.
He ordered that the Changchun Palace, where the Fucha clan lived, be kept intact, and would go to pay his respects in person every year to express his sorrows.
It can be said that in the heart of Emperor Qianlong, Fucha has long been not only his queen, but also the "white moonlight" in his heart, and the love that he will never forget in his life.
Emperor Jiaqing sent the Shaji Fucha clan, who was similar in appearance to Empress Fucha, to Qianlong's side, which undoubtedly touched the softest part of Qianlong's heart.
It's just that this "gift" is lucky or unfortunate for the 13-year-old Fucha?
The red candle flickered
On the night she was sent to Shoukang Palace, Fucha's heart was full of fear, and the palace people bathed her, changed her clothes, and dressed up, and she was more like a lamb to the slaughter, which could only be at the mercy of others.
The red candle flickered, 88-year-old Qianlong was lying on the bed, and 13-year-old Fucha was sent in. On the night of her bedtime, she looked at the old Qianlong, and felt scared and uncomfortable.
She closed her eyes in fear, not daring to look at the legendary Emperor in front of her. After one night, Fucha became the most favored woman.
But not long after the red day, Qianlong died at the age of 89, leaving behind a bunch of concubines, including the 14-year-old Fucha.
Not long after her 14th birthday, she became a widow, how can she live after that?
In fact, the Fucha clan was really hard, and he entered the palace in a daze, and before a few days of good life, Qianlong was gone.
She must not feel good in her heart, after all, what young girl doesn't want to find a wishful husband of the same age, live a sweet life, give birth to a bunch of babies, and enjoy the joy of family?
But what about her, after entering the palace gate, she became Qianlong's concubine, and this life is over.
In this way, the Fucha clan and a group of "old" sisters depended on each other in the Shoukang Palace.
As the days passed, those old concubines passed away one by one, and in the end, she was the only one left in the entire Shoukang Palace except for the palace maid, who was lonely and pitiful.
But fortunately, the later Daoguang Emperor was quite kind, and it was not easy to read her, so he gave her a "Imperial Ancestor Jin Concubine", which was in the Qing Dynasty at that time, and it was the sky.
But what about that?
Three years later, Fucha also fell ill and died, ending her tragic life.
Epilogue:
It's also embarrassing to think about, Fucha was pushed away by fate when he was a child, and when he entered the palace, it was like falling into an ice cave, and he didn't feel any warmth in his life.
From the green hair when she was young, to the gray temples at the end, she is like an outsider, watching herself trapped in the palace and struggling for most of her life, and finally she can't escape the arrangement of fate.
Isn't this a living tragedy?
