Kangxi is disrespectful to the old?Concubine De, who is in her fifties, is called to serve, and the truth of the years in the palace is revealed
Although the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and countless concubines, there are not many concubines who can really get his favor, and if you want to stand out in the harem, you have to think carefully. Even a favored concubine cannot guarantee fame and fortune for a lifetime. However, there are also one or two people around the emperor who are impressive and have a long time of pleasure.
The Qing Dynasty had a rule that concubines could no longer sleep after they were over fifty. First, in order to ensure the quantity and quality of heirs, most of the 50-year-old concubines cannot have children, even if someone can still give birth, it is also born by a super old lady, and the son born by the emperor is not necessarily good, or cannot be born if he is pregnant;The second is to ensure that young and healthy concubines will bless the emperor more and have more children.
Therefore, when they reach the age of fifty, the Internal Affairs Office will let the concubines wear green headscarves, and if the emperor himself does not care, these old concubines can only accompany the single and lonely emperor for the rest of their lives, and they can only see the emperor once.
However, during the Kangxi period, concubines over fifty years old were an exception, and the emperor would summon her to serve in the palace. This concubine has a bad complexion. Is she young?It is not necessarily that the young concubines please Kangxi, but some concubines may be friendly with Kangxi, and even if they can no longer serve, Kangxi is willing to talk to her more.
This former concubine that Kangxi likes very much is Concubine De. Viewers who have watched the movie "Emperor Yongzheng" and the TV series should be familiar with Concubine De. Concubine De is the biological mother of Yongzheng Emperor Yinzhen, Wu Yashi.
Wu Ya was born in the Kangxi Banner as a descendant of a family with yellow flags and Manchuria with yellow flags. Wu Yashi is a grass version of entering the palace at the age of fourteen, because she was born in Baoyi, and only little prostitutes can enter the palace after Wu Yashi. Because she was born delicate and beautiful, she was favored by Kangxi at the age of eighteen and gave birth to Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor.
The following year, the mother and son were registered as concubines of the Wu Ya clan. This process is very smooth and normal with the speed of birth and further education. Generally speaking, such a good fertility rate will be more favorable to the emperor, and he will continue to have more children.
Kangxi liked Wu Yashi very much, so two years after Yinzhen was born, Concubine De gave birth to another son for Kangxi, that is, Yinzhen, the sixth son of the emperor. A year after giving birth, Wu Ya's status was promoted again, and she was promoted to Concubine De.
Due to the birth of two sons, Wu Ya's promotion to concubine was also smooth. Wu Yashi was only twenty-one years old when she was made a concubine. Concubine De's privileged position in the harem was almost never threatened.
I have to say that Concubine De is indeed one"Huai Cai is not met"At the same time as giving birth to two sons for Kangxi, he gave birth to seven princesses for Kangxi a year later, and nine princesses for Kangxi a year later.
From the seventeenth year of Kangxi to the twenty-second year of Kangxi, Yinzhen was born, and Concubine De gave birth to a total of four children. It can be said that this is the highly decorated harem of the Qing Dynasty.
But fate will not give people perfect, although Concubine De can reproduce, Yinzhen's status is not high, the emperor can not kneel and raise by himself, and handed over to Concubine Tong Jia to reproduce;The sixth son of the emperor, Yinyu, also died in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi.
In Defei"Pregnancy"In the case, the gas did not explode well, continue to work hard, Kangxi gave birth to twelve princesses in the twenty-fifth year, and Kangxi gave birth to fourteen elder brothers in the twenty-seventh year. The first two sons died prematurely and died early, and Concubine De loved this young son very much. For this reason, he not only did not let Yinzhen get close to him in the future, but also protected him from his younger brother Yinzhen.
De, Hui, Yi, Rong and other concubines were enshrined together with him and carried him together. According to the rules of the harem of the Qing Dynasty, the position of the main wife is four, although there are four main wives with the same status, but at that time, because the main wife was the mother of the emperor's eldest son, the first of the four main wives, the second of the Yi concubines, and the third of the German concubines. The four wives also enjoy privileges, all of them can have children, and their position in the harem is very secure.
But these popular wives are not as good as Concubine De and Concubine Kangxi, and they are all good players in the palace. Concubine De is different, graceful and luxurious, but she is not lonely in the palace and does not take advantage of fame and fortune. Kangxi is a wise emperor, of course, he takes a fancy to Concubine De's good character, and he also likes Concubine De's good character.
Concubine De has not been promoted after being crowned a concubine, and she has never competed for favor, which is the best proof. Kangxi has many favorite wives, such as Concubine Wen, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Tong Jia's sister Concubine Wen was canonized as the imperial concubine, and the elder Concubine Tong Jia was canonized as the queen. The young Tong Jiashi entered the palace late, but entered the palace as a concubine, and the thirty-nine-year-old Kangxi was named a concubine.
Concubine De gradually fell out of favor with the harem concubines. His background is not as good as Tong Jia's, and his road to power is not smooth. Concubine De's group understands this and tries their best to protect themselves and Yinxi in the palace.
Kangxi likes his non-fighting and non-grabbing very much, even when he is old enough to be the emperor, he can find peace and relaxation here, coupled with Kangxi's love for the fourteenth son Yinyu, he summons him from time to time, and Concubine De's quietness and modesty are even more intimate.
Concubine De thought that Yinzhen could ascend to the throne, she didn't want her eldest son to compete for the crown prince, although the relationship between mother and son was not good, Concubine De still became a concubine, she didn't sleep, just a widowed queen, when she came down from the concubine throne, she finally smiled.
Could it be that Kangxi is not respected because of his age?Empress De, who was over fifty years old, was also called to serve in the palace.
