In the 13th year of Qianlong's reign (1748 AD), in order to relieve the worries of his beloved Queen Fucha, Emperor Qianlong served the Empress Dowager Niu Hulu and the Queen's two palaces in the name of the Eastern Tour. , came to Shandong in great force, visited Kongling, offered sacrifices to Mount Tai, and visited all the places of interest and historical sites. However, Empress Fucha could not help but mourn for her two sons who had died in recent years. The beautiful mountains and clear waters on the road, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, turned into a sad red and a sad green in her eyes, which particularly touched her heart. Unfortunately, she caught wind and cold in the boat, became seriously ill and was dying, and fainted several times. Emperor Qianlong panicked and hurriedly ordered to return to Beijing, but as soon as he reached Dezhou, he couldn't do it. The Queen Mother came to see her, and she only vaguely said the word "Thank you." Before she died, she stared at Emperor Qianlong with resentful eyes and shed a string of sad tears. This resentful look made Emperor Qianlong heartbroken. He was sad and apologetic, and cried loudly at the queen's corpse. In the twenty-two years since their wedding to the empress, the emperor and empress have always been in love with each other. It was only because of Qianlong's temporary confusion that he did something sorry for the queen that the couple was separated. Although the emperor tried his best to reconcile the queen with him, this sad stimulation has remained in the queen's heart for a long time. In my heart. When the empress died, Emperor Qianlong lost a beautiful and gentle companion, and he couldn't help but feel regretful... Empress Fucha was the daughter of Li Rongbao, the general manager of Chahar. In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Emperor Yongzheng chose her as his first wife, Fujin. When Hongli was only seventeen years old, he was granted the title of Prince Bao. After taking the throne, Emperor Qianlong immediately named her the queen. The Fucha family is affectionate and affectionate, and is loved by her husband. She is respectful and frugal, not luxurious. Usually, I just pick some velvet flowers and wear them on my head as decoration, and never wear any pearls and emeralds. During the New Year, she personally made a purse from the fur of a deer and lamb and presented it to Emperor Qianlong. She imitated the legacy made by her ancestors in the Qing Dynasty outside the customs, showing that she did not forget her roots, so she won the emperor's respect and love. Over the years, the emperor and the empress had been very close to each other and had never blushed. One year, Emperor Qianlong ordered the renovation of Changchun Garden, Changchun Pavilion and Old Summer Palace, merging the three into one. When the garden work was completed, Emperor Qianlong took the empress to visit the garden, and ordered the empress to lead the concubines of the Sixth Palace, the wife of the clan, Princess Fujin, etc. to the garden to accompany them to enjoy the garden. On this day, the spring scenery was bright and beautiful in the Old Summer Palace. The beautiful women who followed the emperor and empress meandering into the garden were dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, surrounded by green beads, and were all dressed up like gods. The group came to the front of the hall, kowtowed to the Queen Mother first, and then greeted the Emperor and Empress. Emperor Qianlong was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the crowd, and suddenly found that there was a lady who was particularly outstanding, with eyebrows like mountains, eyes like autumn water, face like peach blossoms, and waist like a thin willow. He couldn't help but be filled with envy and thought to himself. Compared with this beauty, Sixth Palace Fendai pales in comparison. She looks familiar again. I wonder which family she belongs to? After a while, it was the beautiful woman's turn to step forward. After she said goodbye, the queen stood up, shook hands with her, and said, "How is your health, sister-in-law?" It turned out that she was the queen's sister-in-law, the wife of Fu Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At this time, Emperor Qianlong seemed to have left his body and followed the Queen Mother out of the palace in a daze. He had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden along the way. He kept thinking about the beauty following the Queen and looked back from time to time. Mrs. Fu seemed to be aware of the emperor's affection, and she greeted him with her eyes intentionally or unintentionally. From that day on, Emperor Qianlong often missed Mrs. Fu, and sometimes he couldn't help sighing. The queen asked him several times, but he always put her off. A few days later, it was the Queen's birthday again. Emperor Qianlong became excited and reported to the Empress Dowager Ming. He ordered a grand banquet to be held in the palace on the Qianqiu Festival to celebrate the Empress' birthday. He went to Kunning Palace to congratulate the queen and said, "On your birthday, why don't you invite your sister-in-law to the palace to have a drink all day?" The queen replied, "She will come by herself, why bother to summon her?" Emperor Qianlong added, "Previously Xiangyou Yuanmingyuan, I see that you and your sister-in-law are very affectionate, why not take this opportunity to keep her in the palace for a few more days?" After hearing this, the queen nodded and remained silent. On the day of the Qianqiu Festival, Kunning Palace was bustling inside and outside. After the civil and military officials congratulated each other and dispersed, Emperor Qianlong strolled into Kunning Palace and received an audience from the concubines of the Sixth Palace and Princess Fujin who gathered here. The emperor raised his eyes and stared, and sure enough, Mrs. Fu was standing at the top, looking even more beautiful than when he saw her in the garden that day. After the banquet started, the romantic emperor was in high spirits and asked everyone to join poems in turn. Each person should say a sentence, and if he couldn't finish it, he would be fined with wine. Then the drinking order started in a lively manner. You said a word to me, you had a cup, I had a drink, and we crowded together. Mrs. Fu was not good at drinking. After drinking several drinks, her face turned red, her heart wandered, and she could not sit still. Emperor Qianlong saw that she was already drunk, so he called aside the palace maid who was serving the banquet, gave her a few words, and helped her to rest in another palace. Everyone took a short rest and then sat down again to drink. However, the emperor and the empress suddenly disappeared and ordered the palace officials to look for him. However, they did not find him and had no time to take care of him, so he continued to entertain the guests. When the people in the wine circle dispersed, there was still no sign of the emperor. The queen felt strange and ordered the palace servants to see how Mrs. Fu was doing. After a long time, the official reported back: "The door of the palace where Mrs. Fu lives is closed and it is inconvenient to enter." The queen thought about the previous situation and understood something in her heart. The next morning, Emperor Qianlong still left the palace to sit in court. Mrs. Fu got up and went to Kunning Palace to say goodbye to the queen. The queen glanced at her meaningfully, smiled and said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law!" Mrs. Fu blushed immediately, did not dare to raise her head, and left in a hurry. Since that day, the queen was no longer as gentle and affectionate towards the emperor as before. Sometimes she even cast a resentful look at the emperor, which made the emperor feel very uncomfortable. Because of shame, he did not go to Kunning Palace as often as before, and the queen became even more suspicious of the emperor's indifference to her.
The empress originally had a son, Yonglian, who was established as the crown prince by the emperor according to the family law. Unfortunately, he fell ill and died young. Emperor Qianlong comforted her in every possible way, telling her that if she had a legitimate son, she would definitely be crown prince, and he posthumously named Yonglian the crown prince Duanhui. A few years later, the queen gave birth to a son named Yong Cong. Just when the queen was in a bad mood, Yong Cong died of smallpox again. The queen couldn't bear such a blow and cried to death. Therefore, in order to comfort the empress, Emperor Qianlong took the empress dowager out to Beijing for a tour in the name of his eastward tour. Unexpectedly, he said goodbye to the empress forever. Emperor Qianlong took Empress Lingshu of Daxing back to the capital day and night, and set up a mourning hall in Changshou Palace. The funeral ceremony was particularly grand. In addition to keeping the empress in mourning for twelve days, he also personally composed a memorial poem "Shu Bei Fu" to express his grief. Emperor Qianlong gave full play to his talent in this area, and his writing was so sad and pathos that it makes people feel heartbroken after reading it. However, who can know about this difficult entanglement between the emperor and the empress? The queen had asked for a posthumous title for herself during her lifetime. When the imperial concubine Gao Jia died, Qianlong gave her the posthumous title of "Huixian". The queen said: "After my death, I will be given the posthumous title of 'Xiaoxian'. Is that okay?" At this point, Emperor Qianlong gave her the posthumous title of "Queen Xiao Xian Chun" in accordance with her last wish. In the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign, she was buried behind the Shengshui Valley on the west side of Xiaoling Mausoleum (the mausoleum of Emperor Shunzhi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty). Immediately, construction of Qianlong's own mausoleum, Yuling, began here. In addition, he also extended special favor to the queen's mother's family, conferring the queen's brother Fu Wen as a duke, and Fu Heng as a bachelor of the Baohe Palace and the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It can be said that "the kindness of a foreign family is unparalleled" and reached its peak.
