Regarding the evaluation of Emperor Kangxi, there have always been different opinions, some people say that he is affectionate like the sea, and some people think that he is ruthless.
However, as the master of an empire, Kangxi has many concubines in his harem, but there are very few women who can leave a deep impression in his heart.
Among them, the Empress Hesheri undoubtedly occupies an important position.
The two of them married when they were young, and they have experienced many ups and downs together, and their relationship has become deeper and deeper.
At the very moment before Hesheri's death, she had a difficult birth and was in agony.
In order to give her some comfort, Kangxi disregarded the regulations of his ancestors and resolutely made Hesheri's son the crown prince.
After watching "Kangxi Dynasty" many years later, I realized that there was too much helplessness and involuntary helplessness behind Hesheri's death.
The emperor could not escape the marriage shackles of his parents' orders and matchmakers' words.
Before the wedding, Kangxi had never met Hesheri, but learned from the palace maid that she had an extremely ugly persimmon face.
The young Kangxi was very resistant to this marriage, and he still retained the frivolity and enthusiasm of his youth.
At this stage, he did not have a deep understanding of the throne, and he was also full of awe and fear for his imperial grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, so it can be said that he was very obedient.
Because of Hesheri, Kangxi was angry with his grandmother for the first time. He came to Hyo-joo and asked her why he asked him to marry an ugly woman, but Hyo-jo just looked at him seriously and denied his idea.
Hesheri is the granddaughter-in-law appointed by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and she is the woman that Kangxi took a fancy to at a glance. Hyo-zhuang's eyes are extremely sharp, and she chose Hesheri not only because she is bright and generous and matches her grandson, but also because she is Sony's granddaughter.
Having experienced the ups and downs of the previous dynasty, Hyozhuang is well aware of the challenges his grandson faces. The ministers of the previous dynasty restrained each other, and any one of them would be unbearable for Kangxi.
Kangxi needs a boost, and marriage is his best choice. Hesheri is a famous lady, and although her grandfather Sonny is not as good as Aobai in the court, he is also a powerful person.
Sony doesn't seem to have much ambition and isn't very powerful, so Kangxi has complete control over him. In this case, Hesheri became the best candidate.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang personally decided that Kangxi must marry Hesheri according to the 108 rules, even if he was the emperor, there was nothing he could do. The bell must be tied to the bell, even if Hesheri is dignified and elegant, and then trained, she is only an 11-year-old girl.
When Kangxi refused to remove her red hijab, Hesheri couldn't help but pull off the red hijab herself.
Hesheri, this red-glittering and delicate woman, won Kangxi's favor with her courage and wisdom. She dared to challenge the world and personally ripped off the red hijab to prove that her beauty was not as unbearable as rumored.
At that moment, she was like a bright star, illuminating Kangxi's world and arousing his curiosity and interest. Hesheri's beauty is only part of the reason why she won Kangxi's love, but more importantly, her intelligence and deep understanding of Kangxi's heart.
She can chat with Kangxi about the past and the present, and accurately grasp his thoughts, and this deep understanding makes Kangxi have a deep admiration for her. At this moment, Kangxi expressed his deep recognition of the vision of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and Hesheri also became the eternal white moonlight in his heart.
However, the world is unpredictable, after the intimate conversation between the two, Kangxi left the marriage room ignorantly and went to Su Malagu to continue chatting, leaving Hesheri embarrassed to stay in the new house.
She had no idea that the wedding night would end like this. Hesheri, who has always been arrogant, obviously can't accept such a loss. Hesheri may not understand why Kangxi obviously admires his appearance very much, but refuses to stay in the new house or spend the wedding night with her?
This is exactly the manifestation of Kangxi's resistance to this marriage, after all, this is not the wife he chose himself, no matter how much he likes it, he can't share the joy of being newly married with her.
Do you want a country or a beauty? It made Kangxi instantly understand how he should choose.
During her reign, Empress Hesheri was troubled by trouble, but her grandfather, Sonny, gave timely guidance and made her understand the responsibilities of an empress and the behavior of a woman.
In her deep affection with Emperor Kangxi, they eventually reached harmony. However, as the emperor, Kangxi could not be accompanied by Hesheri alone, which made Concubine Hui a fierce rival of Hesheri.
Despite her strong health, Concubine Hui gave birth to five children in a row, which made Hesheri feel stressed. As empress, Hesheri was obliged to serve the royal family, so she decided to get pregnant as early as possible.
Unfortunately, her first child died at the age of three.
Hesheri's devastated body made her anxious because Huifei's fifth child was about to arrive. Regardless of the risk, she insisted on having another child, but it turned out to be her life.
Her efforts finally succeeded and gave birth to a prince, but this child was bought by her life. During Hesheri's pregnancy, Kangxi was obsessed with women, and his novelty for her had faded, so he didn't take care of the pregnant Hesheri.
Due to the impact of previous childbirth on the body, this time she paid special attention to the preservation of the fetus, which not only limited her movement, but also ate very carefully. This is the so-called "what you have must give away".
Hesheri was bloated in the late stages of pregnancy, her child was huge, and she was in a very depressed mood. Kangxi didn't take care of her during her pregnancy as well as before, which made her very sad.
When she was giving birth, Kangxi didn't even show up in time, and he didn't come urgently until his life was hanging by a thread. This is full of irony, because when we first saw this paragraph, we were just saddened by Hesheri's death, and Kangxi at that time was also furious and reprimanded the eunuchs, eunuchs, etc.
However, who would have thought that Kangxi should be more guilty than sad in his heart?
This child was obtained by Hesheri in exchange for his life, therefore, in the face of the Queen Mother, Hesheri's child was made the crown prince by Kangxi, and he was canonized at a young age. This practice is clearly a violation of the rules of the ancestors.
After understanding this, I finally understood the reason for Hesheri's difficult birth, she shouldered not only the duties of a wife, but also the fate of the entire Suo family, and also the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Because she was unable to exercise during pregnancy and was not in a happy mood, it eventually led to dystocia. Hesheri's death is an indelible pain for Kangxi in his life.
He felt deeply guilty and nostalgic for Hesheri, and Kangxi gave special attention to their children, although the prince was not outstanding, Kangxi still let him be the prince for more than 30 years.
