Cucumber may be a common vegetable in our daily life, but it was only available in the south in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong only ate cucumber once during his southern tour. After that, he loved cucumbers very much and sent people to the north to learn the cultivation techniques of cucumbers. Not far from Wanli, it was transported from the south to the palace. That winter, there were less than ten cucumbers in the whole palace, so he gave two to the imperial concubine, showing the emperor's joy.
Yan Fei was thirty years younger than Gan Long, and soon became a frequent visitor after entering the palace, but she stayed in this position for many years. Later, she was slowly promoted to a concubine. By the time Ganlong was sixty-five, she gave birth to ten princesses for Ganlong, which surprised Ganlong, not only for the ten princesses, but also for her biological mother Yanfei.
The affection for the tenth princess is obvious, so she can enjoy all the treatment that the first princess should enjoy, and she also named the tenth princess Gulen and Princess Xiao. When Gulen and Princess Xiao reached marriageable age, they did not marry the princess as a wedding tool to the hero's frontier, but betrothed her to the son of a favorite around them. According to records, when Gulen married Princess Xiao, the specifications were comparable to those of several first princesses. In addition, Ganlong knows Feng?enyende very well. Ganlong witnessed his growth and trusted him. Emperor Qianlong of the small Shenyang family also knew how rich he was. Marrying his daughter will never hurt him. It can be seen that Qianlong loves this daughter, and it is because of this daughter that he gave the cucumber to Princess Yan.
