Last year, the hottest costume dramas were Story of Yanxi Palace and Ruyi\'s Royal Love in the Palace, both of which were shot in the historical background of Qianlong's harem. Speaking of the first beauty in Ruyi\'s Royal Love in the Palace, it was Han Xiangjian played by Li Qin. The historical prototype of Han Xiangjian was the famous Xiang Fei, that is, Rong Fei of Qianlong's harem.

Han Xiangjian in the play has no feelings for Gan Long because her fiance was killed before entering the palace. However, Gan Long is crazy about this peerless beauty and tries his best to win her heart. Although Hanxiangjian is in the palace, her heart is already dead, so she doesn't associate with any concubines in the palace. The only thing that she has is a deep friendship with Ruyi. However, this is just a TV play. In history, Hanxiangjian (Rong Fei) and Ruyi (later) are in the same boat.

do they have anything in common?

according to historical records, Rong Fei and Zhuo's family entered the palace in the 25th year of Qianlong. At first, Qianlong didn't canonize He Zhuo's family immediately, but sent her to the subsequent Nala's palace to learn the rules. However, He Zhuo's experience of learning the rules seems to be not very pleasant, which also laid a curse for the conflict between them later.

after learning the rules, he Zhuo's family was given a title and a distinguished person by Qianlong. At that time, Qianlong was really special to this alien woman. After only two years, he made a decree to canonize He Zhuo as Rong Qi. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Chongqing (the Empress of Filial Piety) seems to prefer He Zhuo's family, so the harem concubines are naturally full of a sense of crisis, especially after Nala's.

according to the historical records of north Korea, the case of the loss of dongzhu, which shocked the court, happened at the beginning of the fourth southern tour in the 3th year of Qianlong. At that time, Rong Jin and Zhuo's family denounced Nala's theft of Dongzhu. Although Dongzhu and its correspondence with Jihu were indeed found in the palace guards' home, it seemed to the North Korean emissary that the matter was framed.

Moreover, this incident came to nothing afterwards, and then there was a subsequent haircut incident that shocked the Great Qing Dynasty. As for whether there is a direct relationship between the subsequent loss of Dongzhu and the subsequent haircut, we don't know for the time being, but we have to say that this incident has had a certain bad influence on the relationship between Qianlong and the following.

After Nala fell from the altar of the mother of a country, Hezhuo was promoted. In the thirty-three years of Qianlong, Hezhuo was promoted as Rong Fei, became the upper leader of Qianlong's harem, and occupied a certain position in Qianlong's later years, even became the foster mother of ten princesses (Gulun and Filial Princess).

Therefore, what we see in TV plays may be just the opposite in history. No one would think of Rong Fei, the legendary woman who exudes extraordinary fragrance, who also has another face in history.
