Empress Xiao (also known as Empress Xiao Xianchun, namely Fu Cha) was born in a noble family, and was born in Zhenghuangqi, Manchuria. Her father is Li Rongbao, general manager of Chahar.
Because her family is very superior and her parents' education is very high, Filial Piety has received a very good education since she was a child, and she has gradually become a noble family, which is very likable!
In the fifth year of Yongzheng (A.D. 1727), 16-year-old Empress Xiaoxian participated in the women's activities in the draft, and was selected by Yong Zhengdi at a glance in the crowd, and was assigned to the fourth son Li Hong (the day after Emperor Qianlong) to be the official Fujin.
A talented person, a beautiful woman, and the young couple are very loving after marriage, which can be said to be envious of others. Shortly after the marriage, Empress Hyo-hyun gave birth to several children to Gan Long, but two sons died one after another, which made Empress Hyo-hyun feel very sad!
In the 13th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1748), Emperor Qianlong traveled eastward with Empress Xiaoxian, first to Confucius Temple, then to Mount Tai, and finally to Baotu Spring in Jinan. Soon, Empress Hyo-hyun died on her way back to Beijing at the age of 37!
After the death of Empress Hyo-hyun, Gan Long felt very sad. He organized a funeral for her with more than 302,000 silver dollars. Gan Long also became very anxious because of the death of Empress Hyo-hyun, and punished many people who had misbehaved.
For example, the emperor's eldest son and third son did not express sadness at the death of the filial piety queen, and Emperor Qianlong publicly declared that these two men would never consider being heirs to the throne; Imperial academy wrote a wrong word in the Queen's Book, and a large number of officials were beheaded, which frightened the ministers at that time, fearing that they would fall into disaster.
In addition, Emperor Qianlong often wrote poems to mourn for his filial piety, adding up to more than 100 poems, which was very rare in ancient times. Then why did Emperor Qianlong love Empress Xiaoxian so much?
There are many beautiful women in Qianlong harem. The reason why Qianlong dotes on the filial piety queen is because of her connotation and personality. In his poem, Qianlong praised the filial piety queen as "peerless". Perhaps, the filial piety queen is the confidant in Qianlong's heart!
Zhang Gui, a university student in Qianlong period, once mentioned such a thing. Once Emperor Qianlong got scabies (an infectious skin disease), and the doctor told him to rest for one hundred days. Filial piety queen took the initiative to live beside Qianlong and served the emperor all day, until he was well, before moving back to the bedroom. You know, Gan Long suffers from an infectious skin disease, which others avoid, but Empress Hyo-hyun took the initiative to take care of him. How could Gan Long not like such a wife?
At the age of 86, Gan Long was already the father of the emperor. He took Emperor Jiaqing, who had just succeeded to the throne, to visit the filial piety queen. After seeing the tomb of Empress Hyo-hyun, Gan Long still couldn't help feeling hurt and wrote a mourning poem. This year, the two have been separated by Yin and Yang for 48 years!
