I felt bad for Lady Yehenala Wanzhen. She was resentful towards her older sister Cixi for taking away her son despite the improvement of their family reputation thanks to Cixi. I was under the impression of what Puyi said about Lady Wanzhen being a scary woman like Cixi. Since Zaitian was taken to the Forbidden City became emperor Guangxu, Lady Wanzhen didn't properly raise her other children well. She was depressed, anxious, and irritable during the Guangxu Era. Zaitian was her only surviving son and she missed him terribly. If she happened to learn the news of her son was placed under house arrest and possibly poisoned to death by Cixi, Lady Wanzhen could hate and curse Cixi under her dying breath.

Looking at the resentment she had for Cixi and how it affected her personality, I would not be surprised if this also affected her relationship with Yixuan's concubines and step children since Puyi had to have gotten the information on Wanzhen being a scary woman from somewhere and it was most likely his father and biological grandmother who lived with her when she was alive.

To be fair Guangxu likely would have died of starvation like the others, none of her kids lived. One has to wonder if she actually didn't want her husband to have any heirs with her blood

Thank you for telling her story. You chose wonderful photographs for this video. I think you are right in believing that it was Guangxu's parents' great fortune to have died before the Hundred Days Reforms. Thank you again for this video.

I wonder what the relationship between Lady Yehe Nara and her step children was like? I heard that Puyi described in his memoirs that his step grandmother was an abusive person who terrorized the servants, her own children, and the step children born to Yixuan's concubines. Given that Puyi was born after Lady Yehe Nara died, is it plausible that his father Zaifeng and his biological grandmother, Lady Liugiya who was one of Yixuan's concubines, had a bad relationship with Lady Yehe Nara given that they would be the only sources for Puyi to draw his information from since they lived with her when she was still alive?

@@kasvinimuniandy4178 Lady Yehe Nara was married to Puyi's grandfather, Yixuan, Prince Chunxian of the First Rank, as his wife. Puyi counts as Lady Yehe Nara's step grandson since none of Yixuan's children by her survived or were able to have children of their own. This left the succession of Yixuan's title to the sons he had by his concubine, Lady Liugiya, who is Puyi's biological grandmother. Puyi's father, Zaifeng, who is Yixuan's fifth son and Lady Liugiya's eldest born son, was chosen to succeed the Prince Chun peerage after his father's death.
