Kangxi Dynasty Why does Su Malagu only love Kangxi
In the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", a regrettable love triangle was staged between Kangxi, Su Malagu and Wu Ciyou. Kangxi loved Aunt Su Mala deeply, but Aunt Su Malagu had feelings for Wu Ciyou.
In the end, Su Malagu rejected the will of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and decided to live a single life and did not want to marry Kangxi. However, before she died, she wrote a letter to Kangxi that she never sent, in which she confessed that she had only loved one person in her life, and that was Kangxi.
Although she once had a deep relationship with Wu Ciyou, and even refused to become Kangxi's concubine, why did she finally say that she didn't love Wu Ciyou, only Kangxi? Let's take a look at Su Malagu's feelings for Kangxi and Wu Ciyou in the TV series, as well as the relationship between Su Malagu and Kangxi in history.
With the passage of time, Aunt Su Mala gradually let go of her feelings for Wu Ciyou, and Kangxi's weight in her heart increased day by day. In the setting of the TV series, Su Malagu was originally a little maid in the palace, a few years older than Kangxi.
At that time, the young Kangxi suffered from smallpox, and before Aunt Su Mala entered the palace, the whole family was infected with smallpox, and she was the only one who survived. She also knew a kind of smallpox earthwork in her hometown, so Xiaozhuang asked her to take care of Kangxi, who had smallpox.
Later, after Kangxi**, Aunt Su Mala stayed by Xiaozhuang's side as a maid, and from then on, Kangxi was accompanied by Aunt Su Mala in his growth process. The two can be said to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
In the initial relationship, Aunt Su Mala really took care of Kangxi as a younger brother, but Kangxi was not. In Kangxi's youth when he lost his mother at a young age and lacked the love of the opposite sex, Aunt Su Mala was the eldest sister who cared for him, and he was naturally very attached to Aunt Su Mala.
Therefore, Kangxi even went to Su Malagu to confess when he married the Hesheri clan.
Su Malagu's attitude towards Kangxi was not the same as in the end, at that time she only regarded Kangxi as her younger brother, and did not accept the idea of becoming his concubine. She knows that she is just a maid, and Kangxi is the emperor, and he will have many concubines in his future life.
She only hopes to find a husband who loves her wholeheartedly, instead of becoming Kangxi's concubine. Although Kangxi asked Xiaozhuang to give her a decree to marry, and even threatened her to become a monk, Su Malagu still resolutely refused.
In the end, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang had to accept this fact. Su Malagu and Wu Ciyou met through Kangxi. At that time, Kangxi Weifu visited and met the talented and ambitious Wu Ciyou.
He admired Wu Ciyou very much, and the two gradually became teachers and friends.
Wu Ciyou is a hero with deep national feelings, he is full of worries about the country and the people, but he shows that he is not afraid of the powerful. During the reign of the powerful minister Aobai, he boldly exposed the enclosure and disorderly government behavior of Aobai and other Manchurian nobles, and directly published the book "Enclosure and Chaos in the Country", bluntly saying that it was a serious harm to the country.
Such a talented man with lofty ideals for the country has won the deep admiration and love of Su Malagu. However, Su Malagu's feelings for Wu Ciyou are more like an idol worship, similar to the fanaticism of modern fans for celebrities.
Driven by this emotion, she had the idea of marrying Wu Ciyou, but this does not mean that she has given up her ideal of love. Because, she knows that Kangxi's identity and status cannot give her the love she wants.
Therefore, she chose the revered Wu Ciyou as her lover.
Although Kangxi is the emperor, he can't give Su Malagu exclusive love. However, Buyi Wu Ciyou gave her a unique love, which is why Su Malagu chose Wu Ciyou without hesitation.
In order to retain Wu Ciyou as an official in the capital to assist him, Kangxi is willing to fulfill Su Malagu's wish and fulfill her relationship with Wu Ciyou. He told Wu Ciyou: "Whatever you need, you can bring it up, just say it now, you may regret it if it's late." ”
This sentence reveals Kangxi's appreciation of Wu Ciyou's talent, and also expresses his deep love for Su Malagu. He is willing to make sacrifices in order to keep Wu Ciyou.
Wu Ciyou chose to retreat in the face of Kangxi's ** beauty, although he was very smart, he knew that if Kangxi and Su Malagu were fulfilled, it might be difficult for him to get peace in the future.
Therefore, he politely rejected Kangxi's proposal and said to Su Malagu: "He is the emperor, I dare not fight." Wu Ciyou took the initiative to give up his relationship with Su Malagu, which made Su Malagu very disappointed.
Later, Wu Ciyou chose to live a carefree hermit life, which broke Su Malagu's heart. After understanding that Wu Ciyou preferred the life of Xianyun Yehe, Su Malagu gradually let go of her feelings for him, and at the same time, her relationship with Kangxi became deeper and deeper.
Su Malagu's feelings for Kangxi are deep and indescribable. From childhood to adulthood, she has always taken care of Kangxi and given him meticulous care. In Kangxi's heart, this kind of love has surpassed the love of sisters and brothers and has become a kind of love between husband and wife.
However, Su Malagu knows that the love in her heart is not just a simple emotional exchange, but a kind of spiritual sustenance and a pursuit of an ideal life. She understands that Kangxi, as the male master of the court, cannot give her the life she wants, nor can he accompany her through the intrigues of the harem.
Therefore, she chose to bury this love deep in her heart, silently supporting and loving Kangxi. Su Malagu's tenacity and rationality are admirable, and her love story is also deeply moving.
In her relationship with Kangxi, Su Malagu always gives and gives love, if they are together, she longs to be cared for, but realizes that Kangxi is the emperor and must care about national affairs, and she can't put all her feelings into her.
It can be seen from Concubine Rong's experience that although Kangxi loves her very much, her ending is tragic. Aunt Su Mala knew that Kangxi couldn't give what she wanted, so she chose to maintain the relationship between master and servant, living the life of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha on the one hand, and maintaining a close relationship with Kangxi on the other.
Eventually, she realized that the man who occupied the most important place in her heart was Kangxi, but she followed her inner thoughts and wrote a dying letter to Kangxi. Although she burned the letter in the end, her relationship with Kangxi was a regret in her life and a proof that she loved Kangxi deeply.
She understands that love can't be forced, so she chose to reject Kangxi's feelings and buried this regret deep in her heart.
Su Malagu's love for Kangxi is not as depicted in the TV plot, her love for Kangxi stems from her love for her younger generations, this love stems from her identity, she is the dowry maid of Kangxi's grandmother Xiaozhuang, and Xiaozhuang is of the same age and status, so she cares for Kangxi like her own grandson.
Although her love is not between men and women, her dedication and care deeply touched Kangxi, making Kangxi's respect and gratitude to her indescribable.
Su Malagu, the faithful companion of Xiaozhuang, for the sake of Xiaozhuang, she gave up her marriage and accompanied Xiaozhuang through the three dynasties of Huang Taiji, Shunzhi and Kangxi, and never married. In the early days of Shunzhi's succession, under the strict supervision of Xiaozhuang's mother and son, Su Malagu became a bridge of communication between Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi's mother and son as a maid, passing on the growth of Shunzhi.
At the same time, Su Malagu also took care of Shunzhi's son Kangxi, helped him through the smallpox crisis when he was young, and showed meticulous care with his actions. Su Malagu's loyalty and love made the three generations of Xiaozhuang, Shunzhi, and Kangxi all grateful to her.
Soon after Emperor Kangxi succeeded to the throne, his biological mother Empress Xiaokangzhang died, in order to take care of Kangxi's daily life, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang invited Su Malagu and put her in charge of teaching Kangxi's enlightenment teaching.
Su Malagu not only taught him the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han languages, but also gave him motherly care. Therefore, the relationship between Kangxi and Su Malagu in history is more like a mother and son, and Kangxi also regards Su Malagu as his mother and often calls her "Eniang".
In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi (1688), the 75-year-old Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang died, which was a huge blow to Su Malagu, who was in grief for a long time, and even wanted to go on a hunger strike to bury the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
Kangxi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. So, he broke the rule that only women above the level of concubines in the Qing Palace could raise the prince, and handed over the newly born twelve sons Yinyi to Aunt Su Mala to raise.
This shows that Kangxi never regarded Su Malagu as a maid or maid, but as his own mother. Just like the son who doesn't want his mother to be sad and diverts his attention and asks his mother to help take care of his grandson, it can be seen that Kangxi's love for Su Malagu is as deep as his mother.
Su Malagu lived up to the trust and devoted herself to raising Yinyi**, he was not involved in the whirlpool of Kangxi's sons competing for the throne in his later years, and he was able to die a good death and became the longest-lived prince among all Kangxi's sons.
In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, Su Malagu died at the age of 93. At that time, Kangxi was inspecting Saiwai, and after he learned of Su Malagu's death, he immediately issued an order not to bury him without authorization, and immediately ordered him to return to Beijing.
It was only after seeing Su Malagu's body for the last time that he agreed to be buried. He specially ordered the burial of Su Malagu with a concubine-level funeral, becoming the only court maid in the history of the Qing Dynasty to enjoy this treatment.
Not only that, but he also asked all the concubines and princes to attend Su Malagu's funeral and personally see her off on her last journey.
Su Malagu, the only court maid in the history of the Qing Dynasty who was guarded by the prince. Her death made Yinyi, the twelfth son of the emperor who raised her, deeply saddened, and he took the initiative to ask Kangxi to wear linen and wear filial piety for her, and Kangxi readily agreed.
In order to express his respect for Su Malagu, Kangxi ordered that the other princes take turns to accompany Yinyi every day. After the death of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, she was stopped in the temporary palace, and Su Malagu was also stopped here.
Until the Yongzheng period, the construction of the Zhaoxi Mausoleum in Xiaozhuang was completed, and she was reburied there. However, Su Malagu was not a member of the royal family and could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum. So, Yongzheng ordered someone to build a tomb with the same specifications as the royal mausoleum for her next to the Zhaoxi Mausoleum.
From these things, it can be seen that Aunt Su Mala has a special position in Kangxi's heart, and he loves her like a mother and grandmother, but this is not the love between men and women, but the affection and care of the elders for the younger generations.
