The most tragic Queen of China cu.t her hair and broke off her relationship with the King, suspected of plotting to usurp the Queen?

In the history of Dynasties, the position of Empress is considered the dream of many girls. However, not all Empresses have a happy ending. Evidence shows that the Empresses of the Ula Na La family all received tragic endings.

Empress Ula Nara was born into a very prestigious and illustrious family. She was betrothed to Prince Hongli as a secondary concubine.

When Hongli ascended the throne, taking the reign name Qianlong, she was granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort and then promoted to Imperial Noble Consort and Imperial Noble Consort. After Empress Fuca passed away, she became Emperor Qianlong's Empress Consort.

She was granted the title of Empress Ji by Emperor Qianlong even though she had not given birth to any prince. She was even very much loved by the Empress Dowager. When Emperor Qianlong had gotten over the passing of his wife Fuca, he loved and favored Empress Wula Nala very much, and it can be said that he was greatly favored.

In the 17th year of the Qianlong reign (1752), she gave birth to the twelfth prince Yongji, and the following year gave birth to a princess. In 1756, she gave birth to Prince Yongjing, but the prince died a year later. In the first month of the 30th year of the Qianlong reign (1765), Qianlong organized his fourth southern tour.

Empress Wu La Nara was also on the list of concubines accompanying him. When the tour first began, everything went smoothly. Qianlong even held a grand celebration for the Empress's 48th birthday.

However, after this trip, the Empress suddenly fell out of favor with the Emperor. After returning to the Forbidden City, she was isolated in the palace, and her number of female servants was reduced. Although she was not dethroned as Empress, Qianlong revoked all the privileges she had been granted during the coronation ceremonies of the past.

A year later, Ula Nara passed away, with only two palace maids by her side and no relatives. At that time, Emperor Qianlong was hunting at the Mulan hunting grounds. After hearing the news of Empress Ji's deat.h, he not only showed no signs of grief, but also continued to enjoy himself. Furthermore, he only issued an imperial edict, saying: "The ceremony is not convenient to make it as grand as the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian. All ceremonies should be carried out according to the funeral for Imperial Noble Consort Huang."

Accordingly, the funeral of Ula Nara was not held according to the ceremony for the Empress but was demoted one level. According to the regulations, when the Imperial Noble Consort passed away, every day, high-ranking officials, princesses, and ladies-in-waiting had to visit and perform the ceremony. However, the funeral of Ula Nara was completely cu.t of.f from this ceremony.

According to historical records, in 1778 (at this time, Empress Dowager Ke had been dead for 12 years), Emperor Qianlong recalled and explained that on that night, the "crazy" Ula Na La Thi shaved her head, committing a major taboo.

According to Qing Dynasty regulations, one could only cu.t one's hair when a member of the royal family died. In this case, both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were healthy, and it was a crime for Empress Ke to do so.

However, many films set in the Qianlong period, restored and adapted, have led many to speculate that the tragic end of Empress Ke was due to the plot to usurp the throne by Consort Ling. It is known that during the fourth Southern Tour, in order to please the Emperor, Consort Ling collaborated with local officials to perform folk songs and dances all night long, leading to Empress Ke having to intervene.

However, the above information is all based on movies that have been adapted from historical books. There is no information that proves that Consort Ling caused discord between the Emperor and the Empress. Therefore, the matter of Empress Ke cutting her hair and breaking off her relationship with the King still raises many questions among the people that have not been answered. Many viewers who watch movies and learn about history only stop at feeling sorry for the unfortunate fate of the last Empress Ke of the Ula Na La Clan during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.
