The Qing Dynasty was founded by Manchu people. At first, there was no perfect hierarchy of concubines, and the emperor's wives and concubines were all called Fujin. With the development and perfection of each period, a perfect hierarchy of concubines was formed in Kangxi period. Let's see how the imperial harem was sorted after Kangxi. Swallow, Wei Zi and Sang Ni, who has a higher status?

In the first place is the Empress Dowager (Galeries Lafayette). The empress dowager is the mother of the emperor. Only the mother is expensive, the queen mother can be in a super high position in the palace. The empress dowager is also the highest-ranking person in the harem. In the traditional concept, elders are emphasized. Therefore, there is no doubt that the empress dowager is the highest-ranking person in the harem.

In second place is the queen. The emperor is the king of a country, and the queen is the mother of a palace. She is in charge of the mother instrument and the harem. She is the actual manager and authority of the harem. If the harem concubines make mistakes, the queen can punish them according to family rules.

Then there are concubines. Some concubines, with lower rank, are far less influential than princesses (Gege) and princesses, but because they are elders, their status is also higher than Gege and princesses.

After Kangxi, concubines were divided into eight grades, namely:

Zhengyipin: Empress (1).

Positive second product: imperial concubine (1).

Positive three products: imperial concubine (2).

Positive four products: concubines (4).

Positive five products: mourning (6).

Positive six products: noble people (unlimited)

Positive seven products: often (not limited to)

Positive eight products: commitment (unlimited)

When the concubines come down, they will be crown princesses. The crown princess is the wife of the prince and may also be the future queen. Therefore, her status is in a higher position among her peers, followed by princess (Gege), the daughter of the emperor and the prince, who is naturally respected, and then the wife and concubine of the prince (brother).

It has always been controversial who is superior to the crown princess and the princess. Some people think that the crown princess is lower than the prince, and the prince and the princess are brothers and sisters, so the princess is taller than the crown princess.

This is a misunderstanding. In ancient times, men were superior to women, and the status of the prince was higher than that of the princess, and the prince was even more detached. The position of crown princess is higher than that of princess. On the one hand, thanks to the prince. After the prince becomes emperor, she may become a queen. On the other hand, most crown princesses are of noble birth and high status. One more thing, when the princess grows up, she will marry and take her husband's surname. Therefore, her status can't keep up with the crown princess.

Queen Huanzhugege was born in Urnala, not noble, but she married Ganlong before he ascended the throne. So she is very important in Qianlong's heart. After Fu Cha's death, Qianlong made her queen. After being a queen, she has more power in her hands, which provides convenience for her to bully several gege. Sister Rong has a low position in the palace. She can become a villain, mainly relying on the power of the queen.

Your concubine also has a high position in the palace. After ten years of Qianlong, she was named a noble and a good six, and in the same year she was named a concubine and a good five. After Qianlong 13 years, he was named princess, grade 4; after Qianlong 15 years, he was named imperial concubine, grade 3; after 30 years, he was promoted to imperial concubine, grade 2. After his death, he was chased by his son Jiaqing as the filial piety queen.

Princess Rong Fei in Princess Zhu Huan is a Uighur girl with a historical prototype of Rong Fei. In the third year, ChristianRandPhillips entered the palace. Because the Empress Dowager was fond of her, she was named Rong Ai, a sixth grade student. Thirty-six years after Qianlong's reign, she was named Rong Fei, that is, ChristianRandPhillips, with the third grade. After that, the queen and the imperial concubine passed away one after another, and Qianlong didn't canonize the queen and the imperial concubine again. Therefore, Rong Fei's position in the palace is quite high at this time.

Three princesses in Zhu Huan, Little Swallow, Sunny and Wei Zi, have slightly different status. Swallow is the princess who was sealed by Qianlong, but she was not born by Qianlong. Wei Zi is Qianlong's daughter. Therefore, the status of the swallow is not as good as that of Wei Zi. In Gege, the status of the emperor's daughter is higher than that of the prince's daughter. Therefore, the daughter of Prince Yu is not as good as Yanzi and He.

A talented woman knows how to paint. She is Chen Ge's daughter. She was born worse than Wei Zi and Sang Ni. Although she married Mei Yongqi and became Fujin, Mei didn't become an emperor, and she didn't know how to draw. So her status is not as good as that of Little Swallow and Sunny.
