Life of the characters

Childhood experience

Wenxiu, whose name is Daxiu, was born on December 20, 1909 (the eighth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in the first year of Xuantong). Wenxiu's family background is the Erde characteristic Mongolian nationality among the Eight Banners in Manchu, and belongs to the Yellow inlaid banner of the upper three banners among the eight banners. My grandfather's name was Xizhen. His father, Duangong, was the head of the house of internal affairs. Wenxiu is the eldest daughter of Duangong's successor to Jiang family of Han nationality. Her younger sister is Wenshan. At the beginning of September 1916, Jiang sent Wenxiu, 8 years old, to the private dunben primary school in the flower market. After school, Wenxiu was renamed Fu Yufang. Fu Yufang was very talented. She learned Chinese, arithmetic, nature, pictures and music very well in school. She was very popular with her teachers.

She was chosen as the imperial concubine

In the spring of 1921, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who lived in the imperial palace of Beijing and kept the title of Qing Dynasty emperor, was 16 years old. The imperial concubines Jingyi, Ronghui and duankang, together with the old princes and ministers, as well as Puyi's biological father zaifeng, decided to choose a queen for the little emperor Puyi of the Xuqing Dynasty to hold a grand wedding. Fu Yufang's fifth uncle Hua could see this opportunity, but he fancied that he would take the opportunity to shine on the declining erdete family. He made his own proposal and sent Fu Yufang's photos to the Qing Dynasty's internal affairs office, waiting for the emperor to win the election, under the name of erdete Wenxiu. After many controversies between the imperial concubine and the imperial family, Fang decided in March 1922 that Puyi, the Sunni emperor, should read the photos himself. I never thought that 17-year-old Guo Buluo Wanrong would be chosen as the queen, and 14-year-old erdete Wenxiu would be chosen as the imperial concubine. After Wenxiu was chosen as the imperial concubine, Pu Yi, who had never met Wenxiu, immediately issued an order to the house office to buy Wenxiu's mother Jiang's new residence at the south edge of Houhai, Di'anmen, Beijing. In addition, Pu Yi awarded Wenxiu a set of red sandalwood furniture, which immediately changed the life of the Jiang family. Wenxiu, who has only read for five years, is no longer in school, and Fu Yufang's scientific name is no longer allowed to be used. All day long at home, the fifth uncle huakan is responsible for teaching the grand rites of the monarch and the ministers, or the tedious rules and regulations in the palace, and he wants Wenxiu to read the daughter Sutra well. On November 30, 1922, Wenxiu was married by Puyi to the Imperial Palace one day before the empress Wanrong. The Imperial Palace called her Shufei. Wenxiu met Puyi for the first time in Yangxin Hall of the imperial palace. After three bows and nine kowtows, Puyi said coldly, "go down and have a rest!" On the wedding night, Puyi did not live in Shufei's new house. The next day, Puyi married queen Wanrong again, and she did not share the same room with the queen. They all lived alone in the Yangxin hall. Wenxiu has not been favored by Puyi since she entered the palace. Every morning when she finished her grooming, she went to Puyi's bedroom to say hello, and then went to Queen Wanrong's and the four imperial concubines' bedroom to say hello. Then she went back to Changchun palace, where she lived, and closed the door. She lived a simple life. She embroidered or taught the maids in Changchun palace to read. The four imperial concubines and the servants praised Wenxiu's elegance and politeness, but this did not improve Puyi's life Yi gave her the cold shoulder. Later, Puyi hired a female teacher Ling ruowen to teach Wenxiu English. Wenxiu studied very hard, made great progress, opened up her mind, and began to love literature, so she took meditation reading as fun.

Move to Tianjin

On November 5, 1924, she entered the palace to work as a concubine for less than two years, catching up with Feng Yuxiang's "forced palace event". Lu Zhonglin, the commander-in-chief of Beijing police, led Zhang Bi, the chief police officer, to enter the palace under Feng Yuxiang's command. He ordered Puyi, his concubine and the people in the palace to move out of the palace and live in the palace. After many negotiations with his family, he took away 6333 Jin of silver from the palace and made a special exchange for it. Wanrong, Wenxiu and the daily necessities and clothes worn by the imperial concubines are also allowed to be taken out of the palace. During the transportation of these objects, the people in the palace specially took a large number of gold and silver jewelry, Qianlong porcelain, rare calligraphy and painting, scroll, and unparalleled antiques out of the palace and temporarily stored them in the palace. When the Puyi family left the Imperial Palace, the honorific titles of emperor, Empress and imperial concubine were naturally abolished, such as the common people. Puyi wants to think more about her future. Wenxiu also wants to give advice to her husband Puyi to change the dilemma of relying on others. But more than 20 days later, the Puyi family caught up with the Fengxi warlord zhang zuolin and led his troops to Beijing to drive away Feng Yuxiang. Puyi not only solved his hatred for Feng, but also moved freely. At the beginning of Zhang zuolin's rule in Beijing, Zheng Xiaoxu, a former Hanlin scholar of Qing Fujian and a politician who once served as a political envoy in Hunan Province, secretly offered advice to Puyi: "if you want to restore the Qing Empire, you must rely on Japan for foreign aid." Wen Xiuzhi urged Puyi to say: "the Japanese are extremely cruel. During the Russo Japanese War, they slaughtered countless Chinese people. We must not listen to Zheng's lies and lead wolves into the house, otherwise the consequences will be extremely tragic." But Puyi couldn't listen to Wenxiu's advice. Instead, on November 29, 1924, under Zheng Xiaoxu's mastermind, he secretly entered the Japanese Embassy in Beijing. Puyi's family panic fear, that Puyi was hijacked "missing". A few days later, Puyi wrote to Wanrong and Wenxiu to go to the Japanese Embassy to reunite with him. In order to know whether Puyi is all right, Wenxiu comes to the Embassy in a hurry. Japanese Minister Fangze Qianji cleaned up a two-story building where he lived and let Puyi live with his family and entourage. Wenxiu and Wanrong were entertained by the minister's wife, Xingzi Fangze. The Japanese government promised Puyi to take the responsibility of protecting the safety of Puyi and his party, so Puyi set up a working group of Pro Japanese elements such as Zheng Xiaoxu, Luo Zhenyu and Shang Yanying in the Japanese Embassy in China to actively plan to realize the dream of restoration and regaining the throne with the help of Japan's external forces. On February 24, 1925, under the conspiracy of Luo Zhenyu and Fangze Qianji, the Puyi family left the Japanese Embassy in Beijing and moved to gongdao street in Tianjin, where they lived in Zhang Biao's former villa, Zhang Yuan, and later moved to Jingyuan in xiechangli, the Japanese concession. In Tianjin, Puyi stayed in a three story white house in Zhang Biao's private garden. He and Wanrong lived on the second floor, leaving Wenxiu downstairs.

Admonish justice

In the face of Puyi's wrong behavior, Wenxiu repeatedly advises Puyi that Japan is not credible, and Zheng Xiaoxu's words are not to be heard and should be stopped from the precipice. Not only did Puyi not listen to Wenxiu's advice, but he hated Wenxiu and returned with cold eyes. He is with Wanrong every day. When he goes to the street, he only takes Wanrong with him. Even his daily meals are different from Wenxiu's. The reception of guests, Puyi as long as graceful company, every new year's gift, there is no embroidery share, visible Puyi is iron heart to the embroidery in the side. At the same time, Wenxiu also suffered unreasonable abuse and humiliation from time to time because Wanrong was looking for an opportunity. Eunuch or some maidservant see Wenxiu fall out of favor in front of Puyi, also from time to time to give discrimination or abuse line. Wenxiu often lives in tears. The Jingyuan royal family in Tianjin has no room for Wenxiu. She begins to try to stand up and leave. On the night of the Lunar New Year's Eve, Puyi and Wanrong were playing in their dormitories. At this time, a eunuch played a memorial. Shufei stabbed her belly with scissors. Puyi said angrily, "she used to use this trick to scare people. Don't pay any attention to her And this incident also caused the fuse of "Dao Fei revolution" in the future.

Revolution of imperial concubine

Just when Wenxiu couldn't live in Jingyuan, Tianjin, Yufen, the daughter of Wenxiu's distant cousin Yuzhang, came to Wenxiu. When Yufen learned that Wenxiu's marriage was unfortunate and she was in a miserable situation, she immediately said frankly to Wenxiu, "this is the era of the Republic of China, and the law says that men and women are equal, but Puyi has already been expelled from the palace. He is a civilian, not a" emperor ". He has to abide by the law and wait for others. You should
