The luckiest princess of the Qing Dynasty, loved by both Emperor Kangxi and the empress dowager
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was not only the longest living Emperor, but also the one with the most children. According to historical records, Emperor Kangxi had a total of 35 sons and 20 daughters, but if we ignore the premature deaths, there are 24 sons and 12 daughters.
Of the 12 princesses, 8 lived to adulthood and should get married. The most loved princess by Khang Hi is Princess Wen Xian.
Princess Wen Xian is the 9th daughter of Khang Hi, born in 1683, her mother is Empress Hieu Cung Nhan. It can also be said that she is the biological sister of Emperor Yongzheng, with an extremely noble status.
Princess Wen Hien has always been loved by many people since childhood, especially Empress Dowager Nhan Hien. This empress dowager loved her granddaughter to the fullest, from small to large she did not leave a step.
Of course, what Princess Wen Xian shows to make others like is not fake, but she is extremely capable and educated. In “The Imperial Court of Literature” there is a record about Princess Wen Xian as follows:
Princess Wen Xian received a kind upbringing from a young age, smart and intelligent, more intelligent than other people, likes to study poetry, read books, act politely.
From that, it can be seen that Wen Hien is an intelligent and studious princess, extremely talented. And of course, who doesn’t like talented girls!
Emperor Kangxi loves this daughter very much. Whenever food was replenished in the palaces of the empress dowagers, princesses, and emperors, Kangxi deliberately instructed his servants to prepare more meat for Princess Wen Xian. Ordinary princesses only get 4 pounds of pork, but Princess Wen Xian gets 5 pounds, plus a chicken and a duck.
Princess Wen Hien was not married off to the border, but married Thuan An Nhan, grandson of Dong Quoc Duy of the famous Dong family with a tradition of being a great mandarin in the Qing court.
However, this princess was unfortunately short-lived, dying at the age of only twenty.
Because Princess Wen Xian returned to the Dong family to become a bride, she lived very close to the capital, so she could often visit the Emperor’s father and the empress dowager.
One day, Empress Dowager Nhan Hien remembered her favorite granddaughter, Princess Wen Xian, so she sent someone to call her to paint her makeup to avoid the summer heat.
On the way, grandma and grandson laughed and talked. Although Empress Dowager Nhan Hien is old, her body is still healthy and her mind is extremely clear. However, a weak body like Wen Hien from a young age could not stand the intense heat in the summer. In the end, she got heatstroke.
In an era when medical conditions were not developed, heatstroke was also considered a serious disease. All the royal physicians in the palace tried their best to save the young princess’s life, but still could not save the young princess’s life.
Empress Dowager Nhan Hien and Emperor Khang Hi had to suffer the scene of “white-headed people seeing green-headed people”, even so sad that they forgot to eat and drink.
The thing that hurt the Queen Mother the most was that she wanted to go with her to avoid the heat, but ended up harming her.
It has to be said again and again, Princess Wen Hien is also considered the luckiest among her sisters, because she is loved and spoiled by both the father and the queen mother from childhood to adulthood.
