In history, Princess Ganlong was Hezhuo, the daughter of the leader's family in Uygur area. Before entering the palace, she had married someone, but with the suppression of Uighur rebellion in Qing Dynasty, Hezhuo family was given to Gan Long as a tribute by her brother. At this time, she was 27 years old and was regarded as an "old pearl" in ancient times, but magically, Gan Long liked her very much.
According to historical records and restored portraits, it can be seen that the Hezhuo family are indeed beautiful women. As soon as she entered the palace, she became a distinguished guest. Because of Gan Long's love, she was promoted to Jin Rong first, and then to Rong Fei. It can be said that she has been respected and loved in the Forbidden City for decades. However, there is no record in the history books that she has a son and a half daughters, and there is no so-called "extraordinary fragrance" about her. There are two theories about Rong Fei's death. One is that because she has been concerned about her hometown, she refused to accept the leadership and was given death by the Queen Mother. The other is that she died of illness. Anyway, after Rong Fei's death, Gan Long was so sad that she even had the idea of satisfying her last wish and sending her body back to the Uighurs for burial.
So, why did Rong Fei become a "fragrant princess" in history? This is probably because Rongfei was born in a minority, while the western regions are rich in spices, and women have the habit of burning incense. Besides, Rong Fei is really beautiful, so later generations daydreamed about a beautiful concubine who was born with fragrance.
