Rong Fei is not honored

In the chaos, there was only endless darkness and silence. After an unknown amount of time, a sound broke the silence.

It's like a stone is thrown into a calm lake, ripples gradually appear and spread out in circles, and the lake seems to come alive.

And this dead silent world was injected with new vitality because of the sound.

"Have you watched the new TV series?"

"Look, your Majesty is so handsome."

"How can you pull off this braided hairstyle with half your head shaved? Hey, did you know? The hairstyles in the Qing Dynasty were uglier than this." "Really?"

"Really, really, go search for yourself."

"Oh my god, does this hairstyle really look good?"

"I wonder what it would look like if a real Qing Dynasty person had this hairstyle. I can't bear to watch it."

"Hehe, I don't think so. Think about it, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to enter the country was Shunzhi. He went through so many generations and married so many beauties. Isn't that enough to improve his genes?"

"Have you not seen those royal portraits and photos from the late Qing Dynasty? They are hard to describe. Although it's not nice to say this, there are indeed few beauties."

“That’s not necessarily true. In the last years of a dynasty, the emperor might have to compromise with the ministers of the previous dynasty and marry their daughters in order to consolidate his power.

But during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the imperial power was highly centralized. Even if there were political elements, the emperor would not be willing to wrong himself. Even if he took her into the harem, he would not favor her. "

"Especially the four concubines Hui, Yi, De and Rong, all of them were born as bondservants. In the early period, Rong gave birth to five sons and one daughter, basically taking care of all the children in Kangxi's early period.

Later, Concubine Yi and Concubine De were also favored and gave birth to children one after another. Especially Concubine De, you know, in the early days, Kangxi was very stingy with the positions in the harem.

When he was first promoted to a noble lady, she was not included in the first promotion of concubines in the harem, but was later promoted to a concubine. When the four concubines were promoted, she was ranked third.

You know, the first one in line is the mother of the nominal eldest son Yinzhi, and Rong Fei, who has five sons and one daughter, is ranked behind her. "

"That's right, right? The two concubines who gave birth to the most children in Kangxi's harem are Rongfei and Defei, right? But Rongfei entered the palace earlier. If Rongfei and Defei entered the palace at the same time, who knows what would happen?"

"Compared to Concubine Rong, I still prefer Concubine De. After all, she gave birth to three sons and three daughters, and two of her sons survived. They were both strong contenders for the throne in the battle for the throne among the nine princes. The only child who died young was named Zuo. Unlike Concubine Rong, only one of her five sons died."

"Besides, she was the final winner. She gave birth to the fourth child who later became Emperor Yongzheng."

"However, Rong Fei is still quite pitiful. Although she was not the only one who lost a child in Kangxi's harem, she lost the most children, and they were all sons.

If she hadn't lost so many children, she would have been a real powerhouse with five sons, which would have been unique in the harem.

Even the favored Concubine De and Concubine Yi only gave birth to three sons. The Han concubines favored by Emperor Kangxi in the late years did not give birth to as many sons as her. "

"Good boy, she's dominating the harem just by relying on her belly."

"Pity."

"It's a pity, but don't you think it's horrible when you think about it? In Kangxi's early years, every child he had died.

Although many daughters died, the number of sons born in the early days was much greater than that of daughters. However, in the end, the only sons who died were the eldest prince Yinzhi, who was sent out of the palace to be raised, and the prince who was raised by Kangxi himself.

But after Empress Hesheli died, most of the children survived. "

"What do you mean? It's not necessarily Queen Hesheli's fault, right? Didn't he also lose a son?"

“Well, speaking of this, I did read a novel in which Empress Hesheli murdered other princes in order to make her son the eldest son.

The children after her eldest son lived well, but after the death of her eldest son, she went mad and killed all the other princes in the palace until she became pregnant again.

Because of her previous crazy behavior, all the concubines in the harem joined forces to take revenge on her and attacked her during childbirth. As a result, Empress Hesheli died while giving birth.

“This guess is actually quite reasonable. After all, if the mother has a difficult delivery, the child would have to be very lucky to be unharmed.

In history, Crown Prince Yinreng was not only born safely, but also very healthy. If he was weak, he would not have been directly appointed as the crown prince.

Maybe the Empress Dowager at the time also took action. Those heirs who died young were her great-grandchildren, so the mother suffered but the son was safe. This is in line with the methods used by Empress Xiaozhuang in history. "

"That's not the case. Kangxi was not a blind and incompetent emperor. Besides, how could the Empress Dowager allow the Empress to harm the children in the palace and then make her son the Crown Prince? According to records, Kangxi had a deep affection for Empress Hesheli."

"Politics, the queen is dead anyway."

"Yes, even if it was Empress Hesheli who did it, can the royal family expose it? Of course they have to whitewash the truth, and publicize the emperor's deep love for the queen, which is better than the discord between the emperor and the queen, and will help stabilize the country."

"Let's not talk about politics first. After all, no one knows what happened at that time. However, the death of so many children in the early period was indeed the Queen's dereliction of duty. Isn't the Queen's duty to manage the harem and raise all the princes and princesses?"

"It's not necessarily caused by harem fighting. After all, people in ancient times got married very early. When they were so young, their bodies were not fully developed yet, which had a great impact on the children. Don't you see that children born later in life are fine?"

"But the concubines who gave birth in the later period entered the palace late and were not very old."

"But after all, the emperor was older at that time, so maybe the sperm quality was better."

"I still think that the child's health has more to do with the mother's physical condition."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing about this. It has nothing to do with us.

Hey, if you could travel through time, who would you want to be? I want to be Concubine De, after all, she is Sisi's biological mother.

If I were to be Consort De, I would definitely treat Si Si well and maintain the brotherly relationship between him and Shi Si. "

"Then I want to become Consort Tong Jia. She is Kangxi's cousin, raised Si Si, and eventually became the queen."

"Concubine Hui is also fine. She is the biological mother of the eldest prince."

"In fact, the high-ranking concubines during the reign of Emperor Kangxi were all OK, except for Concubine Rong."

"What?"

"Why else? Think about it, Rong Fei gave birth to so many children. In that era, giving birth to a child was like stepping into the gates of hell.

The point is that they gave birth, but so many died. It’s hard to imagine how sad mothers must be.”

"That's right, and don't you think her title is ironic? Rong Fei is not Rong."

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, turn off the lights."
