How did Wan Rong, the last queen, choose to enter the palace? Does Puyi like her?

Wanrong's full name is Guo Buluo Wanrong, a native of Zhengbaiqi, born in the 31st year of Guangxu (1905). His biological mother is Aisingiorro Xi of the royal family, known as Sigege. However, when Wanrong was 2 years old, Sigege died of illness. Since then, Wanrong has been raised by her adoptive mother, Aisinqiao Luo Hengxin. Hengxin is the second daughter of Yu Lang Baylor, Minister of Military Affairs. She is smart, generous and capable. What is more commendable is that she is very kind to Wanrong, just like her own daughter. Wanrong's father, Guo Buluo Rongyuan, Minister of Interior Affairs, was one of the few enlightened people in the late Qing Dynasty. He asked Wanrong to study like a boy, not only to learn China's traditional poems and songs, but also to learn western culture, including English. Wan Rong, who grew up in such an environment, will naturally grow into a progressive person who combines China's traditional virtues with Western cultivation.

But it's a pity that Wan Rong was born in the wrong era. Her royal status did not bring her glory and happiness, but brought endless pain and shame. Wanrong's suffering began when she was elected to the harem.

192 1 year, news came from the Forbidden City that Puyi, who had abdicated but still retained the throne, wanted to choose a queen, so a large number of photos and materials of aristocratic daughters were placed in front of Puyi. Puyi casually drew a circle on a photo, representing that he chose the queen. The woman in this photo is very elegant. Besides Wanrong, another woman was elected to the harem. Her name is Wen Xiu.

At that time, the Forbidden City was no longer the envy of everyone, but a mental prison. Neither the emperor nor the queen who lived here had complete freedom. They all struggled between feudal monarchy and national revolution, trying to find a way to survive. Entering the palace at this time is tantamount to choosing shackles and torture, and also choosing a royal life that is not what it used to be. 1922, 16-year-old Puyi got married, married Wanrong, who was also 16-year-old, as the queen, and named Wen Xiu under 13 as Shu Fei.

Fortunately, Puyi allowed Wanrong to contact western culture in the Forbidden City, and promised Wanrong to let several of her old acquaintances come to the palace to accompany her. The so-called old acquaintance means that Wan Rong's classmates and friends studying in Tianjin Christian School are all foreigners. These friends are responsible for teaching Wanrong in the palace and teaching her English, world history, art and foreign folk customs.

For Wanrong, being able to get along with like-minded friends day and night is the best comfort to an empty mind. The tolerance and friendliness reflected by Puyi also made Wanrong feel gratified. Wanrong likes to write in English, and often writes English letters to Puyi. Puyi gave her an English name Elizabeth to show her respect.

Of course, Wanrong loves western culture, but she doesn't forget China's traditional culture. In addition to practicing English, she usually practices writing and drawing, and also reads a large number of poems. At the same time, she also wrote some poems, the most famous of which is the poem Peach Blossom Song:

Peach Blossom Palace, Peach Blossom Garden and Peach Blossom Hall. Peach Blossom Hall, Peach Blossom Curtain, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Curtain. Peach Blossom Face, Peach Blossom Tinea on Peach Blossom Face, peach blossom jade Peach Blossom Shirt. Peach blossom mouth, such as orchid, peach blossom tooth, such as leaf smoke, peach blossom lip, such as blood basin, peach blossom dances in the peach blossom hall.

The content of this word is sharp, full of irony and jealousy. It was written for Shu Fei's embroidery at that time. Wenxiu is another tragic figure in The Last Royal Family. After marrying Puyi, she was ostracized by the favor. In addition, he was introverted and didn't like words, so he didn't get Pu Yi's favor. For a long time, she lived alone in Changchun Palace, kept company with books every day, and didn't smell anything outside the window. Basically, she was left in the cold.

As the queen of Emperor Hudson, Wanrong has a clear understanding of her identity and responsibility. She is kind by nature, which can be seen from her actions when the country is in trouble. For example, in the month of 1923 and 12, Wanrong donated 600 yuan to charity. 193 1 year, Wanrong donated a string of priceless pearls for the relief of floods at that time. That string of pearls 172 was sold for 2500 yuan. Wanrong's behavior has been highly praised by the society. The newspaper reported in a large space that Mrs. Pu donated beads to the victims to continue her life, and she was kind and upright ... There are many people in the society who are richer than Mrs. Pu, and it is good to hear the news.

Wanrong had left the Forbidden City for more than three years when she donated pearls. 1928, Feng Yuxiang forced the palace, Pu Yi and everyone were driven out of the Forbidden City and temporarily lived in Tianjin.

In Tianjin, in order to get special favor, Wanrong squeezed out Wen embroidery, which has always been indifferent to Puyi. They lived in Tianjin for seven years, and Wen Xiu and Puyi gradually became strangers. In the past, Puyi was just indifferent to wenxiu, but later it developed into beating and cursing. Wanrong and Puyi went out for dinner and went shopping in department stores. She has never done embroidery. She can only sit alone with a lamp and a book as a companion. Finally, Wenxiu filed a divorce with Puyi, which has never happened for thousands of years. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement and Wenxiu promised never to marry again. Wanrong thought that she could get Puyi's love from now on, but Puyi neglected her from then on.
