Some people speculate that the reason why Emperor Wanli didn't go to court was because he lingered in the harem all day and indulged in debauchery. Zheng Guifei is his favorite concubine. Of course, this is just a guess, and there are many other sayings, but this Zheng Guifei is indeed the favorite woman of Emperor Wanli.
Zheng Guifei loved the harem, and both she and her children were loved by Emperor Wanli. Zheng Guifei has two sons and two daughters. Princess Oceane zhu of Shouning is the youngest of the four children in Zheng Guifei.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love him". It is said that in a family, the royal family values the eldest son more, while ordinary people prefer the younger son. Princess Shouning is the youngest daughter of Zheng Guifei, and Emperor Wanli dotes on her very much. It is reasonable to say that she should be happy, but in fact the princess is miserable.
The princess has reached the age of marriage, slim and graceful, and her appearance is charming. Emperor Wanli married her to an Anhui young man named Ran Xingrang. After the princess got married, Emperor Wanli missed her every day and ordered the princess to return to the palace every five days. He misses her very much.
A Brief Introduction to Princess Shouning's Life Ancient marriages were conducted according to parents' orders, especially in the royal family. Princess and Ran Xu Xingrang are not the same person at all. The first day they got married was the first time they met. However, the princess and Xu are both beautiful and handsome, and the young couple quickly entered the love stage from the marriage stage, which is really sweet.
Traditionally, when a princess of the Ming Dynasty got married, she would appoint an old maid-in-waiting from the palace to be her housekeeper, and Princess Shouning was no exception. Her mother's name is Liang and everyone calls her Sister Liang.
At that time, although the princess and Xu were married, they did not live together every day, nor did they want to meet whenever they wanted. If Xu wants to see the princess, he must go through a special procedure, that is, get the permission of the princess's housekeeper, Sister Liang! There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty was so wonderful.
It's easier to get the wet nurse's permission than to say it. In fact, it is to say a few good words and send some gold, silver and jewelry.
When Ran Xing let her get married for the first time, she was in a good mood and didn't care about money. She said a few nice words to Mammy Liang to coax her, as long as she could see her little princess wife. After a long time, he became a little agitated.
Once, the princess wanted to be a husband and was summoned. When Xing Ran let him in, he didn't see Mammy Liang standing by the door as usual. He only heard the sound of Mammy Liang drinking and gambling with a group of eunuchs and maids. Ran Xingrang felt that it was not good to disturb Mammy Liang's interest, so he quietly entered the Princess House.
However, just as he was courting the princess, when you were playing tricks on me, Sister Liang suddenly broke in with someone because he didn't get her permission and didn't pay the "toll".
Liang Mu is an old maid-in-waiting and doesn't like the intimacy between young men and women. In addition, if Ran Xing refused to give money, she flew into a rage. At that time, she called those two guys shameless.
The next day, the princess and Xu both complained about entering the palace. But Mammy Liang complained first that the princess was frivolous and not solemn after marriage and refused to see her at all. Xu wanted to complain to the emperor, but was dragged by a group of eunuchs!
Ran Xingrang appealed many times, but only got a result of sealing up the official self-examination. Neither Mother Liang nor the eunuchs received the punishment they deserved.
After this incident, the young couple had to endure and live carefully. Princess Shouning lived to the end of the Ming Dynasty and died in her fifties. Shortly after her death, Ran Xingrang was tortured to death by rebels in Li Zicheng, and no one buried the princess and Xu.
