One of the most liberal-minded concubines in Chinese history

Tran Fei came from the Tha Thap Lap Thi family, a family that was not very prominent if not relatively inferior to the Qing Dynasty. As the c.hild of a married couple, she has lived in Guangzhou since childhood - where foreigners appear, so she has been e.xposed to many different cultures.

That's why Tran Phi has a very liberal mindset, a lively and agile personality, always curious and interested in learning new things of the West. She had a hobby of photography and impersonation, which was indeed one of the most interesting concubines in Chinese history.

Become the king's concubine thanks to his intelligence and special personality

In the 14th year of Quang Tu (1888), after going through 4 recruitments, Tran Phi was officially admitted to the palace as a concubine of Emperor Quang Tu.

Because Tran Tan had a beautiful appearance and was knowledgeable about Western culture, at that time King Quang Tu always wanted to learn to reform the country, break the old rules of the feudal dynasty, so she was favored and loved by the king with all her heart.

In the palace, King Quang Tu is famous for his hot-tempered, erratic temper and often s.mashing furniture when approving the chapter. The servants and eunuchs did not dare to come near the library, and this place was even considered a forbidden place for concubines, only Tran Fei was not afraid of the king and was never scolded by him.

He even often called Tran Fei to discuss court affairs with him, each time she often disguised herself by wearing the king's daily clothes or the eunuch's clothes. That proves that Tran Qin is not only pampered by the Emperor but also extremely respected by him, with a high price.

Demotion for disobeying "mother-in-law"

Originally, Tu Xi loved Tran Tan very much because she saw in Tran Tan the image of herself in her youth, a smart, sharp, sensitive woman who understood and reasoned.

However, Tran Qin became more and more favored, which meant that Empress Dowager Tu Xi's niece, Empress Hieu Dinh Canh was estranged and rejected by the king. The Empress often spoke ill of Tran Phi to the Empress, causing her to hate Tran Phi.

Moreover, Tu Xi always discouraged King Quang Tu from learning from Western countries, she always wanted to keep the country of China in the backward feudal era, but Tran Phi joined the Duy Tan Society and resisted by advising His Majesty to reform according to modern Western culture every day. so she was even more hated by the Queen Mother.

In the 20th year of Quang Tu (1894), on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Tu Hi, King Quang Tu decided to appoint Tran Qin as Concubine. However, before the ordination ceremony could take place, Tran Phi was demoted by the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother, who was guilty of begging many times, interfering with the court, and having extravagant habits.

Terribly harmed by Empress Dowager Tu Xi

After being demoted, Tu Xi let the person who stripped Tran Phi to beat him, King Quang Tu took pity on his knees and begged for forgiveness but failed, Tran Phi was then exiled to the palace.

6 years later, when the alliance of 8 countries attacked Beijing, Ci Xi and everyone else hurriedly fled, in the midst of chaos, she still did not forget to harm Tran Fei. In the midst of that, she sent the eunuch Cui Ngoc Quy to harm Tran Phi.

He went to Tran Fei's residence and dragged her to a well. Although she earnestly begged to see the Empress, Ngoc Quy directly kicked Tran Fei into the well, and he also ruthlessly threw down a few large stones to b.ury the body.

In order to hide the tongue of the world, Empress Dowager Tu Xi decided to posthumously appoint Tran Phi as Tran Quy Phi. A year after Tran Fei's d.eath, she had the concubine's family dig a well for burial. Unfortunately, Tran Fei's remains were not only not allowed to build a tomb, but were only buried through loudspeakers in the tomb for the courtesans outside the Forbidden City.

Unfortunately, the fate of the red lady of fortune has passed away in a p.ainful and h.umiliating way, that d.eath is a sharper evidence of the c.ruelty of Empress Dowager Tu Xi.

His Majesty bitten his conscience and mourned his short-lived wife, he not only lost a concubine but also a soulmate who understood his thoughts and hearts in the reform of the country.
