Carelessly doing this for the eunuch, the concubine was immediately demoted to 3 ranks after just 1 night

Usually, if the concubines in the palace committed a serious mistake, they would be punished by the emperor by lowering their rank. However, even being demoted by the king is only 1 level down to deter the concubine and others to pay more attention to their own actions. However, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, China, there was a concubine on the street who was a noble concubine, but because of a eunuch, he was immediately demoted 3 ranks. Originally the emperor’s favorite concubine, what did she do wrong to make the king so angry?

Concubine is loved by the king

She was Thuc Loc Thi, a concubine of Dao Quang Emperor. In the 11th year of Dao Quang (1831), Thuc Loc Thi entered the palace. Thanks to her outstanding appearance, right from the early days, King Dao Quang loved and treated her specially. His Majesty appointed her as Dong Quy.

Her title “Bronze” means “beautiful and beautiful”. This is one of the few concubines’ titles that are clearly flanked by the Manchu king. After that, she was successively conferred the title of Tong Qin and then Dong Quy consort. In a short time, she was continuously promoted by the king to prove that Dao Quang Emperor really loved and favored her.

In the 20th year of Dao Quang (1840), Consort Dong Quy gave birth to a female Royal family. Only one year later (1841), she continued to be pregnant and gave birth to Princess Hoa Thac Tho Hi. In the 24th year of Dao Quang, on March 17, 1844, Consort Dong Quy gave birth to Hoang Ten concubines.

Unexpectedly, not long after, on September 10, 1844, she was flatly demoted from the rank of consort to noble by the king. The sudden demotion made many people think that the king was unhappy because Consort Quy had not yet given birth to a prince. However, the real reason behind this incident was related to an eunuch in the palace.

Unexpected events

According to the book “Thanh Su Cao” recorded the unexpected events that happened to Consort Dong Quy as follows:

The eunuch caused the concubine Dong Quy to be demoted and named Ly Dac Hi. Among the palace maids and eunuchs serving concubine Dong Quy, Ly Dac Hi was her most favored because of her quickness and understanding. Once, Ly Dac Hi was accidentally discovered possessing many precious treasures.

Strangely, the salary of the palace maidens and eunuchs was not enough to buy one of them, let alone so many treasures. Moreover, the Interior Department, after considering Ly Dac Hi’s family background, found that he was from a poor background, basically unable to own expensive objects. The question is, where does a eunuch get so many precious treasures?

People from the Department of Interior have investigated to find out about the background of these treasures as well as whether Ly Dac Xi stole the owner’s things. After examining them, they found that most of the treasures were gifts from the king to Consort Dong. If Ly Dac Hi was the one who took them, Consort Dong Quy would have found out a long time ago and this eunuch should be punished. However, Ly Dac Hi was unharmed, proving that these items were definitely given by Consort Dong Quy.

However, there are many strict rules in the capital supply. That is, even if the emperor has awarded an item to someone, it is nominally theirs, but in reality that person cannot freely give, sell or give away. Because if he did so, the person who was rewarded by the king might be accused of disrespecting the king.

Therefore, Emperor Dao Quang, after learning about Ly Dac Xi’s incident, got angry, sent only Consort Gui and collected all of her books and precious jewels and handed them over to the Department of Internal Affairs to handle. Thus, Thuc Loc Thi from the position just behind the Empress and Hoang Quy consort, she was suddenly reduced to 3 ranks as a small noble. This was indeed a great event for her.

The ending surprised everyone

After being demoted, Thuc Loc Thi no longer received the favor of Dao Quang Emperor. During the years when Dao Quang Emperor was alive, she always had the status of a small noble. In the 30th year of Dao Quang (1850), after ascending to the throne, Emperor Thanh Van Tong of Ham Phong promoted her to the citadel of Hoang Kieu Dong Tan. In the 11th year of Ham Phong, Thanh Muc Tong Dong Tri Emperor consecrated her as Hoang To Dong consort. Later, Empress Dowager Tu An and Empress Dowager Tu Hi came out and only crowned her as Emperor Dong Quy consort.
