? First, the only imperial concubine who was sealed by Qianlong.
In the list of concubines in Qianlong, five people have won the title of imperial concubine, namely Xin Guifei, Yu Guifei, Xun Guifei, Ying Guifei and Wan Guifei. However, only one of these five people is Qianlong Guifei, and she is Ying Guifei. Xin Guifei was only named Xin Fei before her death, and did not even accept Xin Fei's conferring ceremony. After her death, she was buried with the imperial concubine. Yu Guifei just sat in the position of princess (Yu Guifei) before her death, and after her death, Gan Long ordered the funeral to be handled by the ceremony. Xun Guifei was also buried by Qianlong and Graceful, and Wan Guifei lived a long life. Her title of imperial concubine was not given by Qianlong, but by Jiaqing. Therefore, Ying Guifei was regarded as the only one who was personally sealed by Qianlong.
Second, a brief introduction of the British imperial concubine Bahrain family.
Ying Guifei Bahrain was originally a Mongolian woman, and her ancestors merged into Mongolia with red flags. Therefore, unlike the Mongolian concubines in the early Qing Dynasty, Bahrain was not directly sent to the palace, but entered the palace in the Eight Banners draft. After thirteen years of Qianlong, Bahrain's good fortune began. Because she has two good sisters around her, one is your princess and the other is Lu Guiren. Under the care of these two sisters, the Bahraini family was able to settle down in the treacherous harem of the Qing Dynasty.
After sixteen years of Qianlong, Bahrain was promoted again. Together with Lu Guiren, he was promoted to be a concubine, and the title was Yingyi, and Lu Guiren was a princess. Moreover, this year's Qianlong also made the princess's family change from painting tube to painting auxiliary, thus making the princess family get rid of the identity of Xinzheku people.
In the following years, although Bahrain did not give birth to a man and a woman for Qianlong, its position in the harem was steadily improved. In the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, Bahrain's family, imperial concubine, clear wife and promotion. Bahrain's family was promoted to Fei Ying, the imperial concubine was promoted to Ling Fei, and the Qing concubine was promoted to Qing princess. These three sisters began to step into the upper level of the Qianlong harem and became an effortless force in the Qianlong harem.
Moreover, during this period, the princess was favored by Qianlong, who was promoted to imperial concubine in the thirty years of Qianlong, and was in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Qianlong harem officially entered the era of imperial concubine.
From thirty years of Qianlong to forty years of Qianlong, the three sisters of Bahrain, the imperial concubine and the Qing princess, were in the best period. Because the princess ruled the harem, they became the real power figures who ruled the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
In the first month of forty years of Qianlong, Yi Guifei suddenly became seriously ill. At that time, Gan Long ordered Wan Di to look after the imperial concubine, but Yi Guifei had passed away. After Yi's death, Qianlong gave his youngest son, Lin Yong, the 17th brother, to Fei Ying for support.
Third, take care of the harem
The death of Emperor Yi once again changed the pattern of the harem in the Qing Dynasty. Although Shu Fei ranked first, she died two years after Yi's death, and then Yu Fei. Despite her advanced age, she has been in poor health. Therefore, from the forty-second year of Qianlong, the affairs of the harem in the Qing Dynasty basically fell on Ying Fei. This can also be seen from the fact that Qianlong sent Lin Yong to Fei Ying for care.
Therefore, from the forty-two years of Qianlong to the sixty years of Qianlong, it can be called the Qing harem? Fei Ying era? Although Qianlong has the right to speak on major decisions, the specific affairs should be arranged by Fei Ying.
On April 15th, the third year of Jiaqing, Emperor Qianlong promoted Bahrain to be an English imperial concubine in order to reward her for nearly twenty years' hard work. As a result, Bahrain became the only imperial concubine personally sealed by Qianlong. At that time, Bahrain was a 68-year-old woman, but she never thought that she would lose her life because of her birthday.
Fourth, the ending is sad.
It is said that Bahrain celebrated its seventieth birthday in the fifth year of Jiaqing. At that time, Emperor Qianlong was no longer alive, and everything was decided by Jiaqing. However, Wang Yongyu of Jiaqing County (Fei Ying's adopted son and Jiaqing's younger brother) sent a birthday present to Shoukang Palace without Jiaqing's consent, which made Jiaqing furious. In a rage, he withdrew Yongyu's errand and let him leave Gan Qing Gate.
Seeing that his birthday brought trouble to his adopted son, Bahrain was very unhappy. It was not long before he died. In this way, the average life expectancy in Bahrain stays at 70 years. Subsequently, Jiaqing ordered the British imperial concubine Bahrain to be buried in Princess Yuling Garden.
