In the Eight Banners of Manchuria, women are usually destined to participate in the traditional ritual of the draft, especially those girls from famous families, almost all of them have to go through a draft, which is the only way to go through their lives.
But during the Xianfeng period, Tong Jiashi received an unexpected palace decree, an edict canonizing her as a concubine.
Tong Jiashi directly bypassed the traditional draft procedure and became one of the concubines.
The Tong Jia family became famous during the Kangxi Dynasty, and almost every emperor's harem can see a Tong Jia family.
Tong Jia's family background is prominent, her aunt was the concubine of Emperor Daoguang, and her father is a first-class guard with a strong family background. As a result, Tong Jiashi was able to skillfully bypass the traditional selection process and be canonized as a concubine.
Tong Jiashi, who was only 15 years old, married Emperor Xianfeng, who was three years older. Tong Jia, who thought that the future was bright, all his illusions disappeared when he first met Emperor Xianfeng.
As a lady with a strict family education, Tong Jiashi has received a strict education since she was a child, requiring her to behave decently, speak and act dignifiedly, and not be sloppy.
However, Emperor Xianfeng did not love a lady like Tong Jiashi. What he pursues is the kind of woman who is light and lively and knows how to tug at a man's heartstrings.
In short, Tong Jia's failed to win the favor of Emperor Xianfeng and has been neglected.
Tong Jiashi began to feel fear, worried that the future would be a time of lack of love, and she did not know how to get through this ordeal.
In order to find a way to be loved, Tong Jiashi began to imitate some frivolous manners, funny tones and bewitching dresses, hoping to make Emperor Xianfeng feel less boring.
However, her efforts ended in failure. She didn't succeed in imitating her, but instead became a laughing stock in the harem, and was teased as a twisted person. Even Emperor Xianfeng felt that Tong Jia's performance was unnatural, and his attitude towards her changed from cold to indifferent.
Despite her efforts to change herself, Tong still can't get out of her current predicament. In the end, she chose not to fight for this favor anymore, and decided to return to her true self and retain what little dignity she had left.
Since Tong Jiashi decided to stay away from Emperor Xianfeng's gaze, she has been immersed in reading and writing every day and living a dull life.
As a concubine who has fallen out of favor, she is destined to endure the bullying of others. However, despite this, Tong Jiashi still adhered to his original intention and refused to get involved in the open and secret battles in the court.
In this way, Tong Jiashi spent ten years in the court.
Until the Anglo-French army captured the city of Beijing, Emperor Xianfeng fled in a hurry. Most of the concubines who were taken away were favored women, and the disgraced Tong Jiashi was forgotten in the palace.
After Emperor Xianfeng returned, Tong Jia's family ushered in a life of widowhood, because Emperor Xianfeng had died.
Subsequently, the 6-year-old Tongzhi Emperor ascended the throne, and Cixi became the de facto ruler.
However, these schemes have nothing to do with Tong Jiashi, who has already begun to meditate.
During the 13 years of meditation, Tong Jiashi was more peaceful, but the Qing Dynasty was already in turmoil.
Emperor Tongzhi died at the age of 19, and Emperor Guangxu, who was four years old, succeeded to the throne.
Emperor Guangxu reigned for 34 years, died at the age of 38, and Puyi, who was only 3 years old, ascended the throne.
At that time, Tong Jia's family was over 65 years old, and every emperor who ascended the throne would add a harem, and Tong Jia's family rose all the way from a concubine to an imperial concubine.
In her generation, except for Cixi, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, only Tong Jia's family survived.
Two years later, Tong died at the age of 67.
Three months after her death, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Pu Yi abdicated, and the imperial system collapsed.
Tong Jiashi was born in the Daoguang period, entered the palace as a concubine in the Xianfeng period, spent 52 years of harem years, and witnessed the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the change of the imperial throne.
She experienced five dynasties and five emperors, and finally died in the Qing Dynasty, which is the last luck in Tong Jia's life.
