Cold palace joke

In the Qing dynasty, the royal family had the custom of hunting every year. Every time he went out for a patrol, the emperor would take several favored concubines with him, and some concubines could not come for various reasons. The emperor will also write letters to the concubines who stay in the palace to express his thoughts. When Emperor Qianlong was in power, there was also a concubine that he missed very much, but the ending of this concubine was very regrettable.

This concubine is a noble person, and her family is Niu Zhilu. At that time, she was also a top tycoon. This family has produced many assistant ministers and important concubines in the harem. In the Qing palace, where birth is extremely important, her background is undoubtedly a strong foundation for her to be promoted to the emperor's favor in the future.

3 1 June, this woman entered the palace for the first time. When she first entered the palace, she was made a "regular aristocrat". Soon after, she witnessed Nora's tragic ending, which made her extremely afraid that she would fall into that situation in the future. In fact, her worry is not unreasonable. The common point of emperors in past dynasties is that they are suspicious, so they must be careful to survive in the harem.

However, at that time, she was only 17 years old, 18 years old, 37 years younger than the emperor. It is as beautiful as flowers and jade, so she is very loved. He entered the palace for two years and was named "Shunyi". Later, she became pregnant, but unfortunately the child died before landing. The specific situation has been unable to verify, and it is very likely that she had a miscarriage. In order to comfort her, the emperor promoted her to "Shunfei" and became the "high-level" among the concubines in the harem.

Later, the emperor went out hunting and personally caught two pheasants. The emperor immediately ordered the two pheasants to be sent back to the palace and given to her who was ill in bed at that time. The princess was overjoyed and deeply moved. She immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, telling him that his health would improve soon, and told him not to worry too much.

But it didn't take long for things to pass. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong, 65438+ 10, just after the Spring Festival, the emperor successively issued two imperial edicts, reducing her to "Shunqi" and then to "Shungui". Judging from the current historical data, it is impossible to know what mistake the princess made, but judging from the result of being punished, she must have made an unforgivable mistake, otherwise she would not be demoted two levels in a row.

After being demoted, she once became a joke in the harem. Since then, she has been kept in the cold palace, unable to pass in and out, and unable to see others. After living in the cold palace for half a year, the concubine died. At that time, she was only 4 1 year old. The emperor ordered her to be buried and placed in the last row of the princess garden. She never imagined that her final ending was the same as when she first entered the palace.
