I kind of wondering why Langhua wanted Chun or Shu to become her successor aka step empress after her death (is that suppose to be a shout-out to irl events where Chun's daughter and Shu's elder sister married into her clan? Is Langhua breaking the 4th walls 🤣🤣)

I know that she hated Ruyi and tried to suppressed her until her death but still, she seems to be indifferent towards Chun and and she kind of jealous of Shu (by prevented her from coming inside to take care of sick Qianlong and hogged all the time taking care of that asshole), why them? Why not telling Qianlong subtly to choose another high-ranking woman in the future that is not Ruyi 🤣🤣🤣

She already know that Qianlong likes challenge in the harem drama since she forced herself to be Qianlong greatest official wife, if he being told not to do it, he definitely do it 😭😭

“I wonder if the Qing dynasty would last a little longer if at least one of the sons of Empress Xiaoxianchun survived and inherited the throne. She was a role model with noble characters & I’m sure with her as mother, her sons would have been good heirs if they survived. The dynasty really declined after Emperor Jiaqing (her husband’s son from another concubine) after the prosperity from the Kangxi-Yongzheng-Qianlong eras. I think the dynasty was still destined to fall (more to do with them refusing reform amidst the western industrialization etc), but with her son on the throne, the good years might just last a lil longer.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Day 19 - Empress Nara

Lady Nara’s first name, like many women of her era, has either been lost or was never recorded, and so many records of her life were destroyed that it’s a matter of contention whether she was from the Ula-nara  or Hoifa-nara branches of the Nara clan, an aristocratic Manchu family. What is known is that she was married as a consort to the future Qianlong Emperor while he was still a prince, and became a high ranking concubine, Consort Xian, upon his accession to the throne.  Upon the death of the Emperor’s first wife, posthumously named as Empress Xiaoxianchun, Consort Xian was promoted, first to Imperial Noble Consort, and then to Empress. From this period on, she was constantly by the Emperor’s side, accompanying him on his tours of the Empire, and the couple had three children. They seem to have been a devoted couple - leading to two and a half centuries of speculation over what exactly happened next. 

During a visit to Hangzhou, the Empress, possibly in protest of the Emperor’s interest in unsuitable local women, cut her hair. In Manchu culture, this was something only done at funerals, and thus a curse on both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The Qianlong Emperor was furious, and immediately sentenced her to house arrest. She was stripped of her official titles and all but two servants, and spent the rest of her life imprisoned. Consort Ling, another concubine, was promoted to managed the harem as Imperial Noble Consort - but despite never laying eyes on Lady Nara again, the Emperor never named another Empress.

“I didn’t know much about Empress Xiaoxianchun (Emperor Qianlong’s first wife) until I watched the series Story of Yanxi Palace. AFAIK the series’ portrayal was mostly accurate of her personality. I wish more people outside of China knew more about her. She was the perfect consort - frugal (despite coming from a very noble family herself), caring of elders, staying by the emperor’s bedside for 100 days when he suffered scabies etc. A truly remarkable and virtuous lady.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Hi! I am a huge fan of your blog by the way! Do you perhaps know why Langhua wears a lot of yellow (like so much yellow)? From what I know of historical cdramas, it seems as if red is the color that is dedicated to the central palace, however Legend of Ruyi implies otherwise except for when Ruyi ascends to the throne. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I love your blog as well ^-^

Yellow/gold was the colour traditionally associated with the Emperor and the Empress, which is why most of Qianlong’s outfits in the show are yellow or have yellow detailing. The emphasis on red in the show is because only the main wife has the right to wear pure red 正红色 at her wedding. Ruyi wears red after her coronation because her coronation is also her proper wedding ceremony as Qianlong’s first wife.

In Ruyi’s wedding night when she becomes ce’fujin, her gown is a different shade (it’s more of a pale red) from Qianlong’s pure red outfit. When she becomes Empress they are both wearing pure red:

Suoxin and Maoqian also wear pure red for their weddings. So when Jin Yuyan shows up the morning after Ruyi’s coronation wearing a pure red dress, it’s perceived as a deliberate insult towards Ruyi. Remember also when Huanbi was getting married to the 17th Prince, she laments that she isn’t able to wear a pure red dress because she is only a ce’fujin.

So pure red isn’t exclusive to the Empress, but it used to signify her status as the main wife. Yellow/gold was the colour reserved only for high ranking members of the imperial family. In Legend of Zhen Huan, Yixiu always wears a yellow jifu at banquets and you can also notice that the Dowager and Yixiu’s undergarments are yellow as well (and Zhen Huan’s later when she becomes the Tai Hou). Duan Fei also wears yellow at her promotion to Imperial Noble Consort and obviously, Yongzheng wears yellow most of the time.

As far as I was able to find, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort could wear pure/bright yellow 明黄色 at formal occasions, while concubines ranked Noble Consort (Guifei) or Consort (Fei) could wear golden yellow 金黄色. Some of the older and more accomplished princes (and their wives) could be allowed to wear golden yellow as well. Concubines of the Pin rank wore dark brown 香色.

Compare these portraits of Empress Xiaoxianchun (left) wearing pure yellow vs Consort Shu (right) wearing golden yellow.

And these portraits of Qianlong (left) wearing pure yellow and Yinxiang, Prince Yi of the First Rank, wearing golden yellow (right).

(there was also the shade of apricot/pinkish yellow 杏黄色 which was reserved for the Crown Prince and his wife)

Langhua is very self-conscious and petty about her position as the Empress, so I suppose wearing yellow so often could be a status statement? I wish Ruyi wore yellow more often, she only wore it twice; for her coronation and when she and Qianlong were getting painted together but the colour was only visible at the sleeves because the rest of the gown was covered by her outer jacket. And then she never seemed to wear yellow even at formal banquets. I suppose you could claim that it shows that Ruyi doesn’t really care about rank and would rather wear her purple dress since it’s the colour she personally prefers, but I would still have liked to see her in a yellow jifu at least once.

You can sometimes see emperors of the Ming Dynasty wear red formal robes as the colour red was popularized during that period because the surname of the imperial family was “Zhu” 朱 meaning vermillion.

I am not an expert on any of this, so more informed people are welcome to add corrections and/or comments!
