Yu Rongling was one of the few boudoirs who was influenced by Western art in the late Qing Dynasty. His ballet attainments were very good. According to current sayings, people also have the style of an "art goddess". Speaking of the history of the late Qing Dynasty, the reason why she can talk about this woman is mainly because she stayed in the Forbidden City for four years and was Cixi's most beloved female official. It is not a concubine, nor a court girl, but a former imperial female official (equivalent to a female companion) and a foreign translator.
This character and the Forbidden City are very unique in this character. In the 25th year since the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the Qing Dynasty appointed Yu Geng as Minister to France. Yu Geng had two daughters: Yu Deling and Yu Yulongling. Since childhood, the two girls have spent many years in Paris with their father, especially the Jade Dragon Era. They are fluent in many languages ??and good looking. She studied dance at the National Dance Academy in Paris, where she sang and danced, excelling in ballet and Greek dance, and was praised for her role as the Butterfly Fairy in Roses and Butterflies.
Yu Rongling and his father returned to China in 1903 and were summoned by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi still appreciates the beauty of the latest fashion. Seeing that the two sisters of the Yu family have seen the world in the West, but also know some Western social etiquette, people are still very kind, and they keep them in the palace as imperial female officers. When Cixi received the wives of envoys from various countries, Yu Rongling, a former emperor's translator, was four years old.
What is interesting or surprising is that in the palace, Yu Rongling actually had a very funny male-female relationship with the eunuch Xiaode Zhang. According to Xiaode Zhang's memory, when Yu Rongling entered the palace, he was in charge of the royal restaurant and was in his twenties. He has a baby face, beautiful eyebrows, works quickly and decisively, and is full of energy. He is tall, wears three coats, a valing, and an official uniform, and is very handsome. It shows that she is a smart and capable person.
