The reasons for the longevity of the three concubines in the Qing Dynasty are the same
Today, let's take a look at what makes them live longer.
Someone can live long in the harem without fighting because they're invisible
Invisibility means that there is no sense of existence in the harem, and a low-key life
Chen Wanyin is the most proficient in applying this rule. In history, Chen Wanyin did not even have a name
She is not favored and has no children, but the last position is the imperial concubine
Even after her death, Emperor Jiaqing went to pay homage in front of her coffin. Who can have this honor?
Her posthumous honor can be traced back to a long time ago. Chen Wanyin had already entered the mansion when Qianlong was still the prince.
Compared with those who entered the palace at the same time, Concubine Chun already had children.
The Fucha also had two daughters and a son, but Chen Wanyin did not move at all.
After Qianlong took the throne, Chen Wanyin and Concubine Yu had the lowest positions.
The Gao and the Ulanala became concubines , and the Su and Jin Yuyan also became nobles, and only the two of them had the lowest status.
In the second year, the two of them were promoted to the first level, and they were canonized by the way when Qianlong conferred the harem.
This year, Chen Wanyin was 21 years old and Concubine Yu was 23 years old, but they chose different survival laws
Concubine Yu chose to compete for favor, so she gave birth to the fifth prince, Yongqi, and she was promoted smoothly.
And Chen Wanyin chose to stay in the palace and not go out.
Everyone was promoted later, but she still didn't move.
Chen Wanyin is not in a hurry, and has no desire to compete for favor
Later, after the death of Queen Fucha, Chen Wanyin was promoted to concubine
We thought she was in a hurry, but she didn't, and she hasn't been promoted for the next 46 years
On her 40th birthday, the emperor forgot her
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, even if the concubine was not favored, she should give gifts on her birthday, but the emperor completely forgot about her.
But this isn't her most low-key time yet
The reasons for the longevity of the three concubines in the Qing Dynasty are the same
They have a good mentality and can play stealth in the Forbidden City, so they live to the end
Chen Wanyin doesn't like to play tricks with others, so after the queen has been changed twice, she is still alive and well
It was not until 40 years after Qianlong's accession to the throne that he remembered that there was still this concubine, who might live longer than him.
Before Qianlong's Zen throne, all the concubines in the harem were promoted, so 78-year-old Chen Wanying was named a concubine
After that, Chen Wanying's life got better and better, she was very long-lived, and she was a concubine, no one dared to neglect her
Later, Qianlong died, but Chen Wanying didn't die, she lived to be 92 years old
At that time, all the concubines were dead, and there was no queen mother during the Jiaqing period, so Chen Wanying was the oldest in the palace.
Chen Wanying lived to the end by keeping a low profile, but she is still not as powerful as Duan Fei
In the play, Concubine Duan relies on Zhen Huan, but in history, she relies on low-key
In the 42nd year of Kangxi's reign, Geng married Yongzheng and became a concubine after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne.
However, Yongzheng favored Nian Shilan alone and did not care about her
But Yongzheng likes to drink,, so after dealing with government affairs, he will come to Concubine Duan
Yongzheng also liked her child Hong Zhou very much, but instead of recklessly doing things with this love, she kept a low profile.
It is precisely because of the low profile that the prosperity and wealth of herself and her children are preserved.
Yongzheng later named Duanfei's child a prince, and Qianlong was also named a prince.
It can be seen that in Yongzheng's heart, Hong Zhou is still very important.
Others may have to let their children grab the throne at this time, but Concubine Duan did not let the children do so
Under the guidance of Concubine Duan, Yongzhou had no intention of taking the throne, so Yongzheng was getting better and better for their mother and son.
Zhen Huan and the fourth prince saw that they felt that Concubine Duan and her son could get along well
Concubine Duan saw through the situation in the harem, so she chose not to fight or rob, which proved that she was right
After Yongzheng's death, Qianlong was also very good to Duanfei's mother and son. Duanfei finally became a noble concubine and lived to the age of 96.
Another thing I have to mention is Emperor Kangxi's concubine Ding, she is the longest-lived concubine
Concubine Ding and Yongzheng's mother entered the palace one day, and both of them also had children
Yongzheng's mother decided to let her child compete for the throne, but Concubine Ding did not do so
Concubine Ding did not compete for favor and had no enemies. She lived with her children outside the palace and lived to the age of 97.
these three were very famous, not because of being favored, but because of their longevity, which shows that this harem survival law is very useful
