The Guangxu Emperor has three women in the harem, Empress Longyu is the Empress Dowager Cixi's own niece, Jinfei, Zhenfei are the former Ministry of Household, the daughter of the right chamberlain Changshu, the two are pro-sisters.

Long Yu Empress, not only is not beautiful, it is said that the temperament of treating people is not elegant enough, in essence, she is the Empress Dowager Cixi deliberately arranged to monitor the Guangxu Emperor's eyes, from the beginning, the Guangxu Emperor and she looks away from the awesome, between them, only the wedding night barely acted together, and then never shared a room **** pillow ever.

Being compared to Empress Longyu, Zhenfei, whether in appearance or in temperament, are to win out a lot, and her relationship with Emperor Guangxu is very simple, is a simple two love, no complex political purposes.

Jinfei is a bland woman, sandwiched between Empress Longyu and Concubine Zhen, more often than not she is like a spectator, a decoration.

When it comes to the tragedy of Consort Zhen, it is generally said that she was killed by Empress Dowager Cixi. In fact, Consort Zhen was no lightweight in the harem, and her tragedy was largely of her own making.

One of the old courtesans, surnamed Bai, once commented that Zhenfei, she is not a piece of jade, not to mention the character of the mud and not stained. She has also been in power and sold out.

Consort Zhen power, can be so understood, she has to replace Empress Longyu, the ambition of the first; that's not all, she also wanted to urge the Guangxu Emperor, in the name of the New Law from the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi to seize power, and then become able to autonomy of the program of the real power of the Emperor.

Zhenfei sells officials, this is simple, perhaps young, perhaps less integrity, Zhenfei in the harem is very vain, but also very greedy enjoyment, not enough money to spend how to do, can only rely on the favor of Guangxu, do some selling of the hooks.

Selling officials bad ancestry, power over the bottom line of Empress Dowager Cixi, it can be said that Empress Longyu to fight with her palace, Empress Dowager Cixi to clean up her, that are inevitable.

It is said that Empress Longyu in order to retaliate against Zhenfei, had with Li Lianying and Zhenfei palace eunuchs collusion, secretly a man's boots into the Zhenfei palace, trying to smear her with adultery.

On another occasion, Empress Longyu took the material of one of Zhenfei's dresses and said that the material of her dress was exactly the same as that of a theatergoer who had entered the palace, for which Zhenfei was subjected to a court battle.

In the harem, Zhenfei by the court battle more than once, it is said that she suffered another court battle is because of extravagance, wearing a pearl, jade string made of cheongsam, called the Empress Dowager Cixi bumped into.

The logic of the Empress Dowager Cixi is that even I can not afford to use so many pearls string beads robe, you a concubine, so extravagant, what do you want? Want to be queen, who sealed you?

Speaking of which, might as well talk about Jade Cabbage.

There is a kind of obvious smearing of Empress Dowager Cixi, said Empress Dowager Cixi's burial goods in a jade cabbage, this rare treasure was originally the dowry of Princess Zhenfei.

Is this true?

According to the "Love Moon Xuan notes" records, the Empress Dowager Cixi's burial goods do have a large jade cabbage, green leaves and white heart, the stalk is carved with a winged grasshopper, there are also two red and white hornets.

Only unfortunately, in 1928, Sun Dinyin excavated the Qing East Mausoleum Qianlong and Cixi two mausoleums, the world's unparalleled Jade Cabbage is nowhere to be found.

In this case, the best quality jade cabbage now hidden in the National Palace in Taipei is not the one Cixi took away.

Then the jade cabbage in the Taipei Imperial Palace, is not Princess Zhen's dowry?

According to Tang Shixia, the niece of Consort Zhen and Consort Jin, Pu Jie's first wife, the original Jade Cabbage had been placed in the Forbidden City's Yonghe Palace, because Yonghe Palace was the bedchamber of Consort Jin, and so there was a very popular saying that the Jade Cabbage was the dowry of Consort Jin.

But the eunuch of the Yonghe Palace said, this jade cabbage was originally a gift from Emperor Guangxu to Princess Jane, cabbage means white and flawless, cabbage on the two little bugs, the symbol is taken from the "Poetry? The two little insects on the cabbage were taken from the poem "Zhounan? katydids", hoping that Princess Zhen could have more heirs.

Later, when Consort Zhen was imprisoned, she handed over this precious treasure to her sister, Consort Jin, and asked her to keep it for her, so the Jade Cabbage was later placed in the Yonghe Palace.

Tang Shixia recalled that perhaps the Yonghe Palace eunuch's statement is not accurate, but even so, this Jade Cabbage is not likely to be the dowry of Princess Jane, for the simple reason that the two sisters married Guangxu, it is not possible for the younger sister to have such a valuable dowry, the older sister does not have, which does not conform to the rules.

But the strange thing is, in front of the niece, Jane Fei but never say this jade cabbage origin?

Turning back to these three women of Guangxu.

Jinfei in these three women lived the longest, Zhenfei in the Eight-Power Allied Forces into Beijing (1900) that year, so that the Empress Dowager Cixi thrown into a well and killed; Empress Longyu more than three years to live in 1912, after the Qing court in her hands after the overthrow of the Qing court in 1913, and she also died of depression.

Jinfei's life is a little better, in 1924, she just died in the Palace of Yonghe in the front foot, the back foot of the Feng Yuxiang forced the incident.

Some may ask, Puyi that year out of the palace, why did not take away the Yonghe Palace of this rare treasure, jade cabbage?

Feng Yuxiang forced the palace, only gave Puyi two hours of packing time, Puyi has more important things to take away, simply can not care about this one thing.

Fortunately, Jade Cabbage later did not completely submerged in the dust of history, which is still quite difficult, after all, the Palace has experienced a period of chaos, then I do not know how many people want to play the idea of the Palace treasures, which is not lacking in some of the moralistic people.
