Has the Qianlong Empress Ulan Nala really fallen out of favor in history? Why?

As the second queen of Qianlong, the Unara family was gentle, sensible and knowledgeable, filial to Qianlong's biological mother, the Queen Mother of Chongqing, and managed the harem affairs fairly. But after her death, Qianlong didn't give her posthumous title, didn't let her be buried with herself, and didn't even build a mausoleum for her alone. What's going on here?

In the twelfth year of Yongzheng, 16 Ulana was assigned to Qianlong by Yongzheng, and Prince Shang Shibao became his side Fujin. At that time, the most favored people around Gan Long were Fu Cha Shi of Di Fujin and Gao Jiashi of Fang Fujin. Therefore, when the Urnala family first entered the Qianlong Hidden Mansion, they were not favored by Qianlong. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng died, and Qianlong inherited the throne according to the testamentary edict. Fu Cha, with infinite scenery, was naturally made the queen, and Gao Jia, who was also a side Fujin, was also named the imperial concubine. Only Urnala was named Xianfei.

In the first month of the tenth year of Qianlong, Gao Jiashi was seriously ill, and it was very thoughtful for Qianlong to ask for medical advice. Even on the 23rd day of the first month, in order to celebrate her happiness, she was made a high-ranking imperial concubine, and all the concubines in the harem were promoted, so Urnala was promoted to be a fairy high-ranking imperial concubine. However, Gan Long tried his best, but failed to keep Gao Jiashi. Where there is death, there is life. The following year, Fu Cha gave birth to a son and a second prince, Yong Cong. Although Fu Cha dotes on the harem, she is also an unfortunate person. As early as in Qianlong's hiding place, she gave birth to her eldest son, Yong Lian. As a result, Yong Lian died of a cold at the age of 8.

This made Queen Fu Cha fall into grief for a long time, unable to extricate herself. Now that she finally gave birth to Yong Cong, Fu Cha got some comfort. However, Yong Cong only lived less than two years and died. Fu Cha couldn't bear the blow of his son's premature death, and died in the 13th year of Qianlong. All kinds of misfortunes, such as the loss of a son and a wife, made Gan Long grieved. Therefore, at Fu Cha's funeral, he flew into a rage, picked his nose and eyes, and punished many ministers. Since then, it has changed the relationship between the monarch and the minister in the Qing Dynasty, so that the courtiers in the Qing Dynasty can only be slaves before the emperor.

Although Qianlong is sad, the harem can't live without a master for a day. At this time, Qianlong's mother, the Queen Mother of Chongqing, spoke, and Xianguifei was polite, humble and frugal, and became the queen. Then, why did the Empress Dowager Chongqing so eagerly urge the Empress Dowager Gan Long to come forward? It turned out that although Urnala was not favored by Qianlong, she was favored by the Queen Mother of Chongqing because of her filial piety. Therefore, as soon as Fu Cha died, Empress Dowager Cixi took the initiative to recommend Ulana to Gan Long. Gan Long is a filial man. He followed the advice of the Empress Dowager Chongqing.

However, because Fu Cha's mourning period has not yet passed, he doesn't want to be criticized. Therefore, he made Urnala the imperial concubine and let her take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong, at the urging of the Empress Dowager Chongqing, Qianlong issued a letter, made Urnala the queen, and held a conferring ceremony for her. Since she became a queen, Qianlong's attitude towards her has changed.

He not only respected her, but also ordered her to accompany him in foreign affairs such as paying homage and going out to patrol. In the seventeenth and twenty years of Qianlong, Urnala gave birth to two princes in succession. As a result, Ganlong was constantly spoiled by her, and she consolidated the status of the queen. However, Ulana is not happy. Why?

It turned out that she grew up watching the two princes she gave birth to, but Ganlong kept her mouth shut about building a store. At that time, shortly after the birth of the Prince of Fu Cha, he was written by Qianlong in a secret imperial edict. Now Gan Long is slow to act, which inevitably worries Urnala. In addition, as she grew old and weak, Qianlong turned his attention to the beautiful young concubine. What she can't accept most is that Gan Long has been obsessed with Fu Cha, who has been dead for many years, and occasionally writes some sad mourning poems.

It can be seen that no matter whether you are alive or dead, you can occupy a little position in Qianlong's heart, and she, the queen, is the least important one in Qianlong's heart, which makes her angry. However, a woman who is an emperor of the Qing Dynasty must be submissive and sensible. It is their job to serve the emperor comfortably. Therefore, although Urnala is full of resentment in her heart, her face is calm and she still earnestly performs the duties of the Queen. Thirty years after Qianlong, sixteen sons of the emperor who had reached the age of four died of illness.

Because Gan Long loves this child very much, his mood is inevitably depressed, so he decided to go to Jiangnan to play. As usual, the Empress Dowager Chongqing, Urnala's family and the biological mother of the 16th Emperor asked the imperial concubine to travel with her. However, no one expected that this patrol actually led to the emperor's rebellion and completely changed the fate of Urnala. According to the Draft of Qing History, (Urnala's) went to court with an imperial edict, then cut his hair, which was beneficial to him, and then returned to the capital first. "

So, what made Urnala's hair cut off? According to seiran, "The emperor was in Hangzhou. He tried to go ashore incognito in the middle of the night, and then he stopped to protest. As for tears." It is said that when Gan Long was in Hangchow, he visited incognito in the middle of the night. The queen tried to persuade him, but he cried and still wouldn't listen. In this case, Ulana's hairstyle. Ulla, why did you cut your hair? There is no record in the official history. Coupled with the secrecy of Qianlong, it became a mystery. However, there are three possibilities for folk speculation.

First, Qianlong was naturally romantic, and perhaps he had a night outing with a concubine, which made the queen dissatisfied. Second, Gan Long may write a poem in memory of Fu Cha at this time. Third, Urnala's family felt that Gan Long never took her seriously, and he refused to listen to anything, so he was desperate. Anyway, the loss of Unara's hair aroused Gan Long's rage, and ordered Long Fuan to send Unara back to Beijing in advance on the grounds of "irreverence and unfilial behavior".

After Qianlong's southern tour, although he didn't abolish the post of Queen Urnala, he took back four volumes of Bao Jian, reduced her food and clothing, and even reduced the number of maids to two. Open the queen, at this time has been reduced to a promised treatment. Not only that, Qianlong also put the Ulanala family back in the blue flag. Ulan Nala saw that Qianlong humiliated her so much and died soon. After Urnala's death, he should have been buried according to the queen's funeral specifications, but he was hastily buried by Qianlong. And her coffin was randomly stuffed in a corner of the tomb of Chunhui Emperor Guifei. (Refer to historical materials: Qing Draft and Qing Jian Ji)
