The Queen is inferior to the three favored concubines with the highest positions in Chinese history. Who are they?

The queen is considered to be a match for the prince, has the highest status, and is the owner of all concubines. But there were times when a concubine's position in the harem actually depended on the emperor.

Although the 3 people below are just ordinary concubines, they have higher treatment than the queen.

Chief among them is Duong Quy Phi, she is listed as one of China's famous "Four Great Beauties" - Duong Ngoc Hoan. Originally the emperor's daughter-in-law, but due to her beautiful beauty, after the emperor met her for the first time, he fell in love with her beauty.

Despite all the gossip behind her back, he welcomed her into the palace. At that time, there was no queen in the palace. Duong Ngoc Hoan was awarded the title of Noble Concubine, which was also the person with the highest status in the harem. All the food, drinks, and costumes are the best. In fact, the queen is not even treated like that.

The important thing is that the emperor extremely favored and pampered her. Even if there was a queen at that time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anything I could do about her. Because she was single-favored, the emperor appointed her three sisters as concubines. Every month, just for makeup alone, she spent 100,000 dollars.

Her brothers all became high-ranking mandarins, especially Duong Quoc Trung, who was virtuous and incompetent, yet he was promoted to prime minister. The Duong family also took 2 princesses and 2 princes as brides. At that time, people considered winning Duong Quy Phi's favor no different than winning the emperor's favor.

The second person is even more talented, she is Van Trinh Nhi, also the famous Van Quy Phi in Chinese history. Van Trinh Nhi's life had an incident when she was 19 years old. From then on, she was always with Chu Kien Tham - who was 17 years younger than her.

Zhou Kien Tham worried and confused every day, living between the boundary between the crown prince and the deposed crown prince, leaving a deep wound in his soul from an early age. And Van Trinh Nhi is always by his side, it can be said that they have become relatives. In the 8th year of Thien Thuan, Chu Kien Tham, then 18 years old, became emperor. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to make Van Trinh Nhi queen.

But unfortunately, Van Trinh Nhi's appearance is not considered beautiful, her background is not prestigious, and more importantly, she is too old. So the only choice was to make another person, Ngo Thi, queen. The queen was young and beautiful, but the emperor always favored Van Trinh Nhi. Later, because the queen beat Van Trinh Nhi, Chu Kien Tham abolished her and established Vuong Thi as queen.

From the previous queen's lesson, this second queen also did not dare to touch Van Quy Phi. Van Trinh Nhi herself could not give birth to children, and continuously harmed pregnant concubines. To this, the emperor did not react at all. Until the age of 58, she was an anonymous real queen for more than 20 years, and the real queen, not a puppet, was just a fake wife.

Regarding Duong Quy Phi, there are still many people arguing about her favorability, but regarding Van Trinh Nhi, history must actually admit that there is extreme bias. Later, Hai Lan Chau was the same. Hai Lan Chau came from the Mongol clan of Khoa Nhim, and was married to her uncle-in-law and brother-in-law. When she entered the palace, she was 26 years old and had a husband, but Hoang Tai Chi did not care at all.

In the first year of Sung Duc (1636), when Hoang Tai Chi ordained the Five Great Fu Jin, he could not give Hai Lan Chau the position of Empress, he could only give her the top position among the Four Phi Phies, you must know that you Her daughter was married to Hoang Tai Chi when she was 13 years old.

Next is her title, Cung Quan Thu, needless to say, it is indeed a beautiful and famous name in the Poetry Book. Than Phi has an even greater background, because the word "God" has always been used to describe the emperor. Hai Lan Chau having this title can see how Hoang Thai Cuc favored her. Even if she is not a queen, in reality the queen is not as good as her. When Hai Lan Chau's son was born, Hoang Thai Cuc was overjoyed, this baby was truly a gift from his mother.

Continuing to talk about the benefits, the benefits of Hai Lan Chau are Man Hue Cung Hoa Nguyen Phi. The first 3 words used the most noble dignity for her, and Nguyen Phi was even more special, this was the title for the main wife of the Great Khan of the Manchu clan, similar to the queen. With the Han regime, she is the true queen in the heart of Hoang Tai Chi.
