Wanrong, whose real name is Guo Buluo, is a Daur, the daughter of former Minister of Interior Rong Yuan, and a native of Zhengbaiqi, Manzhouli. Great-grandfather Changshun was from Jilin General. She is the same age as Puyi, about three and a half months older than Puyi. With the approval of Puyi's father and uncle, Taifei Duankang thinks Wanrong's family is rich. Looks and bloodlines are better than Wen Xiu. So Puyi promised to be graceful and restrained from the beginning, giving up embroidery. Wanrong was seventeen when she got married. She is not only dignified and beautiful, fresh and refined, but also famous for her piano, chess and calligraphy. On the third day of the wedding, together with Puyi, she accepted the gifts from the diplomatic envoys in China in Dongnuange, which was the first public appearance of Wanrong as a queen. At that time, it was still combed with Manchu-style "two heads", and the high bun was covered with velvet flowers; The yellow satin embroidered cheongsam looks gorgeous, which makes the wives of well-informed foreign envoys marvel at the queen's beautiful face and elegant manners. At that time, all newspapers, big or small, also gave a lot of live reports of pictures and sounds, which was unprecedented.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. 1924+0 1 In June, Feng Yuxiang's subordinates expelled Puyi from the Forbidden City. In February of the following year, he moved to Bird, Tianjin. Accompanied by Johnston, Puyi entered the world outside the palace for the first time with elegant and embroidered posture. According to the revised preferential conditions of Qing Palace, Puyi has "abolished the honorific title of the emperor forever", and Wanrong has also lost her nominal "queen" status.
The grace who lost the protection of imperial power experienced the impermanence of life.
Once, the queen was dressing and changing, and was peeped by the servant. When the indignant woman asked the servants for theories to defend her dignity, the servants formed a group to cover up the facts and ignored the consequences of offending the majesty of imperial power. This scene sounds like a special bridge in literary works to promote the development of the plot, but it really happened in Tianjin at 1926 and was recorded by Beiyang Pictorial at that time.
/kloc-one morning in 0/926, the wife of the last emperor of China, Pu Yi, got up gracefully and began to change clothes and make up. At the same time, the window suddenly opened. At first, Wanrong didn't notice and continued to dress up, but she didn't know that at this time, a pair of eyes not far away were staring at her, trying to be full of beauty.
It turned out that the Puyi family lived in Bird, a Japanese concession in Tianjin, which was the mansion of Zhang Biao in the eighth town of Wuchang before the Qing Dynasty. Adjacent to it is Duan's brother-in-law, the residence of Wu Guangxin, chief of staff of Beiyang government army. Many rooms in Bird face Wu Fu across the window, including the one where Wanrong lives. It was a servant of the Wu government who peeped at graceful dressing. In fact, the servant didn't mean to peep, but when the window of Wanrong was open, he happened to be cleaning the room between Wu Fu and Wanrong and accidentally bumped into it. I didn't expect the breathless queen to be quite beautiful, and the servants of the Wu government couldn't help standing by the window and watching for a while.
The servant's gaffe was quickly noticed by Wan Rong, who turned and ran away in time because of nervousness. Wanrong only saw a blue figure who left in a hurry. Wanrong, who woke up, felt great humiliation. Judging from her instinctive sense of shame and superiority of family status, a servant is not allowed to trample on the majesty of the queen in this way, even if the imperial power is gone. In a rage, Wan Rong immediately called several eunuchs who followed him from Beijing Palace to Tianjin to Wu Zhai to find the servant in blue, but Wu Zhai's servant didn't buy it at all. He not only refused to admit his mistake, but also plausibly said, "In the Republic of China, there is no emperor under the emperor. Your husband, don't be bossy, we are not afraid of you! " The eunuchs had no choice but to report the case to the patrol room.
In order to give Puyi a little pity, the police station immediately sent a servant to Wu Zhai to detain him in Lan. However, Wu Fu's servants have long been ready. When the people in the patrol room arrived at Wu Zhai, they found that all the servants of Wu Fu had changed into identical blue coats. This time, it was the turn of the captor to be dumbfounded. I didn't know who to arrest, so I had to return in vain.
1934 After Japan invaded the three northeastern provinces, Puyi became the "Emperor of Manchukuo" despite the dissuasion of Wan Rong and others. After becoming a puppet of the Manchu government, he turned a deaf ear to Wanrong. But not long after, Puyi not only felt that the power of "ruling" was only written on paper, but also that everything had to be arranged by the Japanese. Even Wanrong noticed that her every move was being watched, and even she dared not step out of the door. The original depression and new worries make Wanrong's old illness more and more serious. In less than two years, she developed from neurasthenia to mental disorder, and often smashed the furnishings at home during the attack.
Wan Rong is still a beautiful woman, although she is mentally ill and her face is gradually turning blue-gray. When she is better, she should dress up or enjoy herself in other ways. According to 1934 "The Imperial Palace", Wanrong made 27 cheongsam pieces a year, using not only traditional silk from China, but also Japanese, Indian and French fine wool, silk and yarn in various colors. She can have 3000 yuan a month for expenses other than food and clothing. She also keeps five or six pugs. These human animals give her a lot of fun. However, the Executive Yuan is a forbidding place. Except for 1934, when Puyi ascended the throne for the third time as a pseudo-Manchu emperor, when the Japanese side visited Manchuria on behalf of the emperor at Chifu Palace, Wanrong was invited to attend the interview with Puyi in Qin Min Mansion to show off the "goodwill" between China and Japan, and she never became the "queen" again in the following ten years. What a blow this is to the extremely vain Grace!
