China Long-lived Empress Dowager | Zhen Huan, Qianlong's Real Mother? 

DNA testing (for genetics) should be performed to clarify the background of the late Emperor QianLong.

made me wanna rewatch it again 😟😟😟😟😟

Wait wait wait wait this story is ab Zhen Huang?????

@@Andrea-uj9zw yeah! some are fictional, i think :)

Yes this is Zhen Huan

Although Empresses in the Palace is a great series (I love it too btw) it is based on a novel set in the Song dynasty. Yeah, I was kinda disappointed too to know that the series had very little historical accuracy. But great performances - Ruyi's Royal love is also good. The actress playing Ruyi is phenomenal!

actually she also is the main character of empresses in the palace

@@thexvault yes, she is.

@@thexvault but in empress in palace she is not the emprore biological mom but the last emprore made her his birth mom

@@sakurakou2009 in all three she’s his adopted mother, in yanxi palace they make it so the emperor doesn’t know she’s his mom.

Cool 💝 good references

It was a common practice in the past to spread as if emperor to seem had questionable upbringing or heritage to weaken the legitimacy as an heir of throne, usually was done by opposite party.

In this day and age, a DNA test should be performed to dispell any doubts about his heritage.

Yes there're many great documentaries abt her. I will try to explore any other interesting angle. Thanks for your support!

The legends about Hongli not being the son of Consort Xi or Emperor Yongzheng are just that... legends, none of it holds water. Like the legend of The Man in the Iron Mask or Anastasia Romanov... Even the stories are later proven groundless, people still enjoy talking about it, especially from entertainment standpoint.

I think Empress Dowager Chongqing was the one who chose Step Empress Nara for Qianlong's Second Empress??

History documents can be revised as Caesar will. The only way to know the exact and actual answer is by go back to the past, but that's impossible haha. By this video we knew that there's some differences from the history book in 2 reign dynasty (Yongzheng and Qianlong) about her Identity.

You can watch Empress of China.. There, you can find the story of Wu Zetian.

Watch Wu Meiniang Chuan Qi a.k.a Empress of China, Fan Bingbing the main actress there.

@@nvtzoe I did and it was boring 🙃

He's a time traveler

Thank you so much. She's in my plan too

You just need to know that qianlong true love was empress Ula-Nara not consort wei she died as imperial noble consort never promoted to empress during qianlong reign

@@dirtyvibe3327 i meant favorite one lol she gave birth to a lot of prince and one of her child became the emperor so she is his fav in some kind of sense lmao i knew his first love is obv the first empress

@@dirtyvibe3327 Are you talking about what you saw in the drama? This video is not about any drama, it’s about the real people that once lived. Dramas are loosely based on historical events but are largely still fictional works by web novel writers. 1) Ula Nara is not even her correct clan and Ruyi isn’t her real name. None of the consort’s personal names were even recorded. 2) Step Empress was not his true love childhood sweetheart like in the drama. She is 7 years younger than him. He got married at 16 years old in real life. 16 year old Hongli wanting to marry an 9 year old? That’s just weird and in any case she wouldn’t have been eligible for the selection process of a concubine at that time. 3) According to the historical records the closest he had to a true love was his first wife Empress Xiaoxianchun. He gave her total honor, respect and favor. Selected both her sons as his successors when they were only little kids, frequently wrote poems for her, promoted her entire family, was heartbroken after she passed on, disowned his eldest son for not respecting her burial, punished and executed officials who broke mourning protocol, kept her entire Changchun palace unchanged after her death as if she never left, wrote more poems for her even years after her passing and had her buried in his personal tomb right next to him. 4) Consort Ling couldn’t be an Empress, she was a Han Chinese with a lower social status. Empress positions during the Qing Dynasty was reserved for Manchu women and thereafter Mongol women too. The Manchus never viewed the Hans as their equals. She actually was elevated to Empress Xiaoyi by Qianlong in 1795 after announcing her son as his successor. She was the first and last Han woman to ever be granted the Empress title during the Qing dynasty.

Thanks for recommending her story!

@@storyofhistoricalfigures9278 i really love her story and the way you explain it thankyou so much

In Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Empress Ulanara outlived the emperor by a little while; however in history she actually predeceased him by several years. Emperor Yongzheng never promoted any of his consorts to be the next Empress

Ula-Nara became an Step Empress of Emperor Qianlong but, unfortunately, like her aunt the late empress she was disregard or overthrown by the Emperor because of jealousy (if I'm not mistaken?) She cut her hair infront of the Emperor which considered as a taboo of the Manchurian women. It's only allowed if there's is a national mourning.

Also Ruyi Biography too

Both of them may be 70% accurate and 30% fictional.

i think the story line was true but ofcourse they add drama to make it more exciting for viewer

@@nazatulsahara8416 in my opinion, ruyi is not as accurate as yanxi in terms of the story line, the characters' backgrounds and hairstyles, but they are far more accurate in terms of clothing and how the characters interacted with each other

@@charcolatier ruyi was definitely not more accurate in clothing since the clothing in ruyi is like late 1800s while yanxi is like early 1800s
