In Yuanmingyuan, a new chapter of palace struggles begins. The palace struggle-themed multi-route and multi-ending park tour theme ‘Xiaomeng Midie’, jointly created by Wander in the Garden and the official of Ditan, is open to the public in the Yuanmingyuan scenic area. The new tour route, multiple endings and branch routes, and classic palace struggle themes will bring you a brand new drama scene tour experience in the tour of the magnificent Yuanmingyuan! In the picturesque Yuanmingyuan, there is also a legend about Princess Fragrant.
In ancient Chinese history, many legends and stories have been passed down to this day. Among them, the legend about Princess Fragrant in the Qing Dynasty is a highly watched story. Princess Fragrant’s original name is Khoja Fatima. She is not from the Central Plains but grew up in Huijiang since childhood. She has an elder brother, an elder sister and a younger sister. Her father married her elder sister to Xiao Khoja Huojizhan. Unexpectedly, her sister’s husband was ambitious and intended to oppose the Qing court and become king on his own, so he launched a war. At the most critical moment, her father and brothers did not stand on their side. Instead, they assisted the Qing army to jointly oppose her sister’s husband. In the end, Huojizhan was killed. As the female relatives of the defeated side, her sister’s identity became special at this moment – she is the daughter of a meritorious official, but also the wife of a rebel. Her sister’s experience made Fatima extremely shocked. Princess Fragrant knew that her identity was as special as hers, and in the future, she was very likely to become a victim of politics like her sister. In the 25th year of Qianlong, her father and brothers were granted titles by the Qing court and brought their families to Beijing to show their submission. Emperor Qianlong chose her among many female relatives to confer her as Noble Consort He in order to show his solicitation and trust in her mother’s family. The promotion record in the harem not only depends on beauty but also requires wisdom and courage. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, there was a extremely beautiful woman who was later called Princess Fragrant. Princess Fragrant lived in the Forbidden City and was one of Emperor Qianlong’s favorite concubines. However, her promotion record in the harem not only depends on family background and beauty but also requires wisdom and courage. She is known for her intelligence, wisdom, gentleness and kindness. She is very interested in literature and art and is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. Whenever she appears in front of the emperor, she always brings her own poems and paintings to express her deep love for Emperor Qianlong. However, in the highly competitive harem inside the Forbidden City, she did not receive recognition and support from other imperial concubines. In particular, those with deep minds and insidious and cunning people often frame her secretly. Many branch lines and endings, the road to promotion in the harem is not smooth. Fatima’s process of gradually being favored by the emperor from a woman in Huijiang is not ordinary. In feudal society, the emperor has extremely high power. He can appoint people he likes or values as his noble consorts or favored concubines.For Fatima, being recognized as a noble was an honor, and her subsequent promotions to concubine and then imperial consort only highlighted her increasing importance in the emperor’s eyes. By experiencing ‘Dreams and Butterflies’, you will gain insight into Fatima’s personal charm and scholarly talent. The legendary life of the Fragrant Concubine was not just a matter of luck, but a culmination of past experiences that eventually blossomed.
