Shu Mulu, a young girl from a Manchurian aristocratic family, has been pinned on by the family since she was a child, hoping that she can enter the palace and bring glory to the family. Since she was a child, she received a strict education in court etiquette, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as various talents required in the court.
Shu Mulu, a young girl from a Manchurian aristocratic family, has been pinned on by the family since she was a child, hoping that she can enter the palace and bring glory to the family. Since she was a child, she received a strict education in court etiquette, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as various talents required in the court. At the age of the year, she finally ushered in the opportunity to change her fate - entering the palace draft.
That year's draft was the first large-scale selection of the harem after Emperor Daoguang succeeded to the throne. With his outstanding appearance and talent, Shu Mulu stood out from many show girls and was selected by the 50-year-old Daoguang Emperor at a glance. Her beauty is not only from the outside, but also a noble temperament that exudes from the inside out. Her talent is not only the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also includes a keen insight into court politics.
After being named a Tong nobleman, Shu Mulu lived in Xianfu Palace. Xianfu Palace, as a quiet place in the imperial palace, has always been the residence of the emperor's favorite concubine. Shu Mulu became the first concubine to live in this palace, which was not only a personal glory for her, but also an affirmation of her family. In the Xianfu Palace, she enjoyed the favor of the emperor and also began her own court life.
Shu Mulu, who had just entered the palace, was not very familiar with the rules and etiquette in the court, but she was smart and clever and quickly adapted to life in the palace. With her talent and wisdom, she won the respect and love of everyone in the palace. Her piano sound is melodious, her chess skills are exquisite, and her calligraphy and painting are even more admirable. Her talent not only won her the favor of the emperor, but also won her the respect of everyone in the palace.
However, court life was not all smooth sailing. Although Shu Mulu was favored by the emperor, she also knew that in the harem, intrigue and deceit were the norm. She must always be vigilant in case she is being calculated by others. She began to learn how to survive in the court and how to find her place in complex interpersonal relationships.
Shu Mulu's intelligence and wit allowed her to gradually gain a firm foothold in the court. Not only did she gain the favor of the emperor, but she also gradually gained the respect of the other concubines. She began to participate in some important activities in the palace, and her opinions and suggestions began to be valued by the emperor. Her influence began to slowly spread in the palace.
However, Shu Mulu also knows that his favor is not eternal. She must constantly improve herself and keep learning new knowledge in order to gain a long-term foothold in the court. She began to study harder and participate more attentively in the affairs of the palace. Her talent and wisdom made her more and more important in the court, and her influence grew.
Shu Mulu's entry into the palace and her first favor were only the beginning of her court life. Her story is far from over. In the coming days, she will face more challenges and opportunities, and how she will continue to survive and develop in the court will be an important topic in her life.
The promotion path of the Shu Mulu clan can be said to be a rare miracle in the court. In that harem, where childbirth is an important way to be promoted, she broke the routine with her wisdom and charm and created a promotion myth that does not rely on giving birth to children.
At the beginning of entering the palace, Shu Mulu attracted the attention of Emperor Daoguang with his unique temperament and talent. Her beauty is not the kind of flamboyant and gorgeous, but a subtle and restrained oriental beauty. Her talent is not only limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also lies in her keen insight into court politics and her ability to deal with problems. These qualities left a deep impression on the emperor's heart.
During his time in the palace, Shu Mulu was not satisfied with the status quo, but continued to learn and improve himself. She knows very well that in the harem, if you want to be favored for a long time, you must have real talent and learning. Therefore, she not only has attainments in literature and art, but also has studied court etiquette and political strategy. Her efforts made her show a unique charm that was different from other concubines in front of the emperor.
In the past four or five years, the status of the Shumulu clan has continued to rise. From the original Tong nobleman, to the later concubines, concubines, and then to the concubines, her promotion speed is staggering. In the process, she did not rely on the birth of children to consolidate her position, but completely relied on her own abilities and the emperor's favor.
The promotion of Shu Mulu also caused jealousy and dissatisfaction among the other concubines in the harem. But with her wisdom and skill, she skillfully resolved these contradictions and conflicts. She always treated other concubines with courtesy, neither humble nor arrogant, and won their respect. At the same time, she is well aware of the power struggles in the harem, so she is always careful not to get involved in unnecessary disputes.
In the process of promotion, the Shumulu clan also received strong support from the emperor. Emperor Daoguang appreciated her talent and wisdom, but also appreciated her independence and strength. In the eyes of the emperor, Shu Mulu is not only a favorite concubine, but also a reliable partner. Therefore, the emperor would ask her for advice on many important matters, and even let her participate in decision-making.
The promotion of the Shu Mulu clan also brought great glory to her family. Her family, because of such a prominent member of the palace, rose to fame and elevated its status. This is also an invisible encouragement and support for Shu Mulu.
However, Shu Mulu's road to promotion was not all smooth sailing. In this harem full of intrigue and deceit, she must always be vigilant to prevent being calculated by others. Her wisdom and wrist have been fully exerted and exercised in the process.
The promotion of Shu Mulu is a legend. She used her talent and wisdom to write a promotion myth that does not rely on having children. Her story continues, and her future has infinite possibilities. On the big stage of the court, she will continue to show her talent and charm and create more miracles.
Shu Mulu's entry into the palace was like a bright new star, illuminating the harem of Emperor Daoguang. Her beauty and talent made her stand out among many show girls, and she quickly attracted the attention of the emperor. Emperor Daoguang, as an elderly monarch, naturally had an unusual favor for this young and energetic concubine.
Soon after entering the palace, Shu Mulu was named a nobleman. Her path to promotion was unique from the start. In the palace, she won the emperor's admiration for her gentle character and vast knowledge. She is not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also has a deep understanding of historical allusions. Whenever the emperor spoke to her, he could always feel the light of wisdom in her words.
Shu Mulu's promotion was not achieved overnight. She knows that in the harem, if you want to be favored for a long time, you must continue to show your value. As a result, she not only made achievements in literature and art, but also dabbled in court etiquette and political strategy. Her intelligence allowed her to always be at ease when dealing with the affairs of the palace, which undoubtedly deepened the emperor's appreciation for her.
In the course of four or five years, the status of the Shumulu clan continued to rise. She was promoted from a noble person to a concubine, and then from a concubine to a concubine, and finally became a concubine. In the process, she did not rely on the birth of children to consolidate her position, but completely relied on her own ability and the emperor's favor. In the harem where childbirth is an important way to be promoted, her promotion path is undoubtedly a miracle.
The promotion of Shu Mulu also caused jealousy and dissatisfaction among the other concubines in the harem. However, she always used her wisdom and skill to skillfully resolve these contradictions and conflicts. She always treated other concubines with courtesy, neither humble nor arrogant, and won their respect. At the same time, she is well aware of the power struggles in the harem, so she is always careful not to get involved in unnecessary disputes.
The 20th year of Daoguang was a year full of joy and turning points for Shu Mulu. This year, she gave birth to a princess for Emperor Daoguang for the first time, which was not only her personal joy, but also the joy of the entire harem. The birth of the princess made Shu Mulu's position in the emperor's heart more stable, and her favor also reached a new height.
In the following years, Shu Mulu gave birth to two more princesses one after another. The birth of these three princesses was supposed to be a continuation of her glory, however, as time passed, Shu Mulu's mentality began to change subtly. She began to get carried away, believing that her position was secure enough that she was no longer as cautious as she had been.
In the complex environment of the court, any small mistake can become a fatal blow. Shu Mulu got carried away and made some wrong decisions. These decisions may not be a big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the court, a place that pays attention to etiquette and rules, it is enough to cause an uproar.
She began to ignore the rules of the palace, and her attitude towards other concubines became arrogant. She forgot how she had won the emperor's favor step by step, and how she had carefully survived in the harem. These behaviors of hers gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of other concubines, and even attracted the attention of the emperor.
At a banquet in the palace, Shu Mulu made a serious mistake because of a momentary negligence. This mistake, although it may seem like a small mistake to outsiders, was enough to justify her demotion in the court. Although the emperor favored her, he could not tolerate her ignoring the rules in the palace and destroying the order of the harem.
After some deliberation, the emperor made the decision to downgrade. Shu Mulu fell from the high position of the noble concubine and became an ordinary concubine. This blow is undoubtedly heavy for her. She began to reflect on her actions and began to realize the consequences of her getting carried away.
After being demoted, the Shu Mulu clan began to re-examine his position in the court. She realized that no matter how high her status was, she couldn't forget the rules of the palace and how she came step by step in the first place. She began to relearn the etiquette of the palace and began to re-establish good relations with other concubines.
However, the demotion of the Shu Mulu clan did not make her lose the favor of the emperor. Although the emperor was disappointed by her behavior, he still remembered how good she had been. After a period of reflection and correction, the Shumulu clan gradually regained the emperor's trust. Her story continues, and her future has infinite possibilities.
This experience of Shu Mulu made her deeply realize that no matter at any time, she must not get carried away and forget her original intention. On the big stage of the court, she will continue to write her legend with a more cautious and humble attitude.
The twenty years of Daoguang are a year full of turnarounds for Shu Mulu's family. In this year, she welcomed her first daughter with the emperor, a beautiful and healthy little princess. The birth of this child not only brought the glory of motherhood to Shu Mulu's family, but also made her position in the emperor's heart more stable. In the following years, she gave birth to two princesses one after another, and the birth of these three little princesses undoubtedly added countless joys and hopes to her harem life.
However, with the birth of children one after another, Shu Mulu's mentality is also quietly changing. She began to feel that her position was secure enough, and even before she knew it, she was starting to get a little carried away. In the harem, a place full of intrigue and struggle, the slightest negligence can become a fatal weakness. Shu Mulu's mentality made her begin to be not cautious enough when dealing with palace affairs, and even a little rash.
She began to ignore some of the rules and etiquette of the palace, and her attitude towards other concubines became arrogant. She forgot how she had won the emperor's favor step by step, and how she had carefully survived in the harem. These behaviors of hers gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of other concubines, and even attracted the attention of the emperor.
This experience of Shu Mulu made her deeply realize that no matter at any time, she must not get carried away and forget her original intention. On the big stage of the court, she will continue to write her legend with a more cautious and humble attitude. She knows that only by constantly improving herself and self-reflecting can she find her place in this harem full of variables and win her own glory.
The twenty-fourth year of Daoguang was a year of turning points in fate for the Shu Mulu clan. This year, because of a momentary negligence, she made a decision that she regretted for the rest of her life - she privately rewarded a eunuch with the precious things that the emperor had given her. This act, although it was out of her good intentions, violated the rules of the palace and violated the authority of the emperor.
In that harem with strict hierarchies and many rules, the emperor's reward was not only a material reward, but also a symbol of honor and trust. Shu Mulu's behavior was seen as disrespect to the emperor and disregard for the rules, and as a result, she was demoted to a noble and lost her status as the lord of Xianfu Palace.
When the news of the relegation came, Shu Mulu's heart was very heavy. Xianfu Palace, the place where she once lived, the place that witnessed her glorious journey from a nobleman to a concubine, has now become a pain in her heart. She felt unprecedented loss and helplessness, but at the same time, she also knew that she could not just sink.
Shu Mulu chose to be strong. She knows that in the harem, there is no eternal favor, and there is no eternal status. She needs to adjust her mindset and regain her place. She began to reflect on her actions, recognize her mistakes, and resolve to make amends.
After being relegated, Shu Mulu did not give up on himself. She began to work harder to learn the etiquette and rules of the palace, and to handle the affairs of the palace more attentively. Her attitude gradually won the respect of the other concubines and regained the attention of the emperor.
Shu Mulu's strength is not only reflected in her observance of the rules, but also in her attitude towards life. She did not give up on herself because of the delegation, but cherished her life even more. She began to pay more attention to her three daughters, using maternal love to compensate for the injustices they might have suffered because of their mother's declining status.
The relegation of Shu Mulu's clan, although she lost a lot, also allowed her to gain a lot. She began to understand the life of the harem more deeply and realized her own value more deeply. She knows that only by constantly improving herself and self-reflecting can she find her place in this harem full of variables and win her own glory.
The story of Shu Mulu continues. Her strength and wisdom will continue to write her own legend on the big stage of the harem. She knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as she remains strong and optimistic, she will be able to find her own light.
In the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang, a major event occurred in the palace that shook the harem. Shu Mulu, the concubine who once favored the harem, because of a moment of carelessness, privately rewarded a eunuch with the precious things that the emperor gave her. This act, although out of her generosity, inadvertently violated the rules of the palace and touched the authority of the emperor.
In the palace, she began to pay more attention to communication and cooperation with other concubines, and her wisdom and kindness gradually won their trust and friendship. She also began to pay more attention to the education of her daughters, hoping that they would have an independent and strong personality and not be affected by what happened to their mother.
Shu Mulu's relegation became an important turning point in her life. Instead of being knocked down by setbacks, she showed a stronger will and more mature wisdom in the face of adversity. Her story continues. On the big stage of the court, she will continue to write her legend with a more cautious and humble attitude. She knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as she remains strong and optimistic, she will be able to find her own light.
The death of Emperor Daoguang brought a new chapter in Shu Mulu's court career. After the death of Emperor Daoguang, she did not fade out of the historical stage because she lost the favor of the emperor, but gradually gained higher honor with her wisdom and virtue in the Xianfeng and Tongzhi dynasties.
During the Xianfeng period, Shu Mulu won the respect of the new emperor with his calm character and profound court experience. She not only maintained a low-key and humble attitude to life in the palace, but also often gave guidance and help to the young concubines. Therefore, she was honored as the imperial ancestor concubine, which is not only a recognition of her personal character, but also an affirmation of her status in the palace.
In the Tongzhi period, the status of Shu Mulu has been further improved. Emperor Tongzhi's respect and trust in her made her influence in the palace reach its peak. She was honored again, this time for the Imperial Ancestor Tong Guifei, and this honorific title marked her supremacy in the harem. Although she did not have a natural prince, her honor and influence surpassed that of many concubines who had children.
In her later years, although her status was high, she was not complacent because of this. She still maintains a humble and low-key life, her heart is full of nostalgia for Emperor Daoguang, and at the same time full of loyalty and support for the new emperor. Her wisdom and virtue allowed her to still be respected and loved by everyone in the palace in her later years.
In the first year of Guangxu, Shu Mulu died of illness at the age of 59. Her death was a great loss for the entire court. Her wisdom, her virtues, and her influence are deeply imprinted in the history of the court. She was buried in Mu Dongling, which is the highest honor for her life's contribution and the highest praise for her personality.
Shu Mulu's life is a life full of legends. From her initial entry into the palace, to her later rapid promotion, to demotion and mentality adjustment, and then to the honorific title in her later years, her life has experienced ups and downs, but she has always maintained a strong and optimistic attitude. Her story is not only a personal history of her upbringing, but also a microcosm of the entire court history.
Her life shows us how a woman can win respect and status in the court with her wisdom and virtue. Her story also shows us how to stay strong and optimistic in the face of adversity, and how not to give up hope in the face of difficulties. Shu Mulu's life is a life worthy of learning and respect by each of us.
The death of Emperor Daoguang brought profound changes to the court career of the Shu Mulu clan. Having lost the favor of the emperor, she could have been unknown in the harem, however, Shu Mulu won the respect of the new emperor, Emperor Xianfeng, with her wisdom and calmness. In the eyes of Emperor Xianfeng, she is not only the concubine of the first emperor, but also an experienced and respected elder. Therefore, she was honored as the imperial ancestor concubine, and this title not only represents her noble status in the palace, but also recognizes her life's contributions.
During the Xianfeng period, Shu Mulu did not change his attitude to life because of the promotion of the honorific title. She still maintains a humble and low-key attitude, and always guides and helps the young concubines and ladies in the palace with a kind and tolerant attitude. Her noble character made her reputation in the palace increase day by day, and also made her occupy a special position in the heart of Emperor Xianfeng.
During the Tongzhi period, the status of Shu Mulu was further improved. Emperor Tongzhi's respect and trust in her made her influence in the palace reach its peak. She was honored again, this time for the Imperial Ancestor Tong Guifei, and this honorific title marked her supremacy in the harem. Although she did not have a natural prince, her honor and influence surpassed that of many concubines who had children.
Shu Mulu's old age was spent in peace and dignity. She was not bothered by the power struggles of the court and was not defeated by the passage of time. In her own way, she quietly observed the changes in the court and quietly enjoyed her old age.
