Referring to Truong Le Hoa, everyone thinks of a beautiful but also scandalous concubine. Most of them have a bad impression of the concubine, surnamed Zhang, that she is a red-faced painter, but is it true?
During the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Tran Thuc Bao was famous for being incompetent, the main court did not care, fell in love with wine, fell in love with literature, poetry and music. From the succession to the destruction of the Sui dynasty, Tran Thuc Bao only maintained the country for 7 years.
After losing his country, Tran Thuc Bao was still fully treated by Sui Van De Duong Kien, so every day he lived in a dream, at the age of 52 he died in Luoyang. Many historians questioned whether, during these years of dreamy life, Tran Thuc said he often remembered the beautiful silhouette, the beauty that was said to be the famous painter Truong Le Hoa. 
Illustration You are from a poor background According to historical records, Truong Le Hoa came from a military family in Yangzhou, Jiangnan. However, in the life of her parents, the family fell into poverty and poverty, Le Hoa’s father and brother had to go to knit mats to earn a living. At the age of 10, Truong Le Hoa, thanks to her beautiful face, was recruited to the palace as a maidservant, serving Prince Tran Thuc Bao. In fact, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, the palace maids who are recruited to serve the royal family will not be bound by too many regulations, and their status is not limited, even a farmer’s son can enter the palace to work. job. Therefore, Truong Le Hoa seized this opportunity. Not long into the palace, with her heavenly beauty, Truong Le Hoa was noticed by Crown Prince Tran Thuc Bao and became happy. Because of constant love, Truong Le Hoa quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a fourth son for the Crown Prince, named Tran Tham. Right after that, Le Hoa gave birth to the 8th child for Tran Thuc Bao, Tran Trang. When Tran Thuc Bao succeeded and became the emperor of the country, Tran Truong Le Hoa was given the title of noble concubine, with great power, even surpassing the empress. When Tran Thuc Bao was injured, he did not even meet the queen, leaving only the noble concubine Truong Le Hoa to serve, enough to see how much this beauty was loved. Not stopping there, Tran Thuc Bao was so delusional that he even brought Truong Le Hoa to the royal court. Originally, it was stipulated that the concubine was absolutely not allowed to participate in the main court, if she violated the law, she would not be spared. However, at that time, the world was in turmoil, and the rules were no longer strict. Consort entered the court with the emperor hoàng Truong Le Hoa not only leisurely entered the court, but when she entered the court, she did not stand beside the emperor like other great ministers. This beauty sat on the emperor’s lap, sometimes the two even cuddled each other, making it difficult for the courtiers to endure. The worst part was, because she often had to go to court to listen to political stories, gradually Truong Le Hoa began to get involved in court affairs. She relied on Tran Thuc Bao’s favor, openly supported a group of trusted mandarins, and eliminated those who were against her will. After that, Le Hoa also invited the sorcerer to enter the royal palace to set up an altar to sacrifice, to display enough for superstitions to fascinate the emperor, and to be believed by the emperor. Since then, she has been swayed by the nobles, blatantly criticizing, arbitrarily conferring titles, accepting bribes, drawing factions. Just like that, the court was no longer disciplined, and soon it was disordered. When the Sui led troops to attack the Southern Dynasty, Tan Vuong Duong Quang surrounded the palace. Tran Thuc Bao couldn’t run in time, he only had to lead Truong Le Hoa to hide under a dry well in Ngu Uyen. But in the end, both were still found and captured by the Sui army. According to historical records, when he saw Truong Le Hoa, Duong Quang was also captivated by her unparalleled beauty, intending to take her home as his concubine. However, Chief historian Cao Quynh saw this and quickly intervened, saying that Truong Le Hoa was no different from Dat Ky, a demon who fascinates the king, holding back will face disaster. Hearing that, Duong Quang, although deeply mourning for the beautiful woman, was still more important to the national affairs, so the wrong person killed Truong Le Hoa. It can be said that, because it is so beautiful, Truong Le Hoa from the most favored place finally has a taste of jade. This is a predetermined outcome. However, in retrospect, historians admit that, even if Truong Le Hoa did not participate in the main court, Tran Thuc Bao would still lose the battle, Nam Tran would still perish. In fact, Nam Tran was originally a small country, economically and militarily unable to compete with the Sui dynasty. Only about the war. Emperor Van De went to fight a battle and sent out 50,000 troops, while the whole of Nam Tran, the demographics of all, young and old, were only 200,000, so what can we do to fight back? Consort Quy was originally a maid, even though she had no children, she was still favored by the Qianlong King Despite her small background, Cao Thi has outstanding appearance and gentle personality. She was selected by Emperor Yongzheng to serve in the palace to serve Bao Than Vuong Hoang Lich, also the later Qian Long Emperor. Not long after, she continued to be promoted by Ung Chinh Emperor to Trac Phuc, the position only after Di Phuc promoted to Phu Sat Thi. After Emperor Ung Chinh died, Bao Than Vuong Hoang Lich succeeded him. At this time, although she still had not given birth to any children for him, Cao Thi was still made a concubine, only under Queen Phu Sat. Even after that, the entire Bao yao clan with the Cao family name was raised and merged into the Manchurian Tuong Hoang Ky, the identity of the Bao robe was completely washed, helping to increase the position and status of Consort Cao Quy in the harem. more than ever. Since being married to Emperor Qianlong, Consort Cao Quy has always received favors, which makes Empress Phu Sat very jealous. Whenever she was sick, the Emperor was always very worried and gave her the best herbs. During a time when Consort Cao Quy fell seriously ill, Emperor Qianlong was very heartbroken. In order to make her happy, Emperor Qianlong issued an edict to elevate her to the rank of Imperial concubine, which was also the first time in his harem to have this concubine status. Unfortunately, Hoang Quy consort Cao Thi could not survive and died at the age of 34. Emperor Qian Long mourned, often wrote poems for her and called her “Tue Hien Hoang Quy consort”. Besides Hieu Hien Thuan Empress, Tue Hien Hoang Quy is the only concubine that makes Emperor Qianlong over the years still keep writing such memorial poems. After Du Lang was completed, Imperial Consort Tue Hien Hoang was transferred to be buried here, next to Queen Hieu Hien Thuan and Queen Triet Man Hoang. She is also one of the rare 5 concubines who were buried with the Qianlong Emperor in Du Lang’s palace. And yet, later, when Emperor Gia Khanh ascended the throne, changed the family name “Cao Thi” of the royal concubine Tue Hien Hoang to “Cao Giai Thi”, classified as one of the Manchu nobles.
