What was the prince/princess position during the Qing Dynasty?
During Ruyi's series I noticed how arrogant Jingse was with the concubines and thought she was better than her brothers precisely because she was a legitimate princess and the oldest among them all. I know all princes are supposed to refer to their father's concubines as "mother." This left me intrigued, even though I know this was just for the plot, I can believe that in real life many princesses/princes were like this because of their mothers' position.
Jingse's arrogance is based on a system called di-shu which is a hierarchy between the children born of official wives (di) vs. children born of concubines (shu). See the linked Wikipedia for details, but for reference, of the children who have screentime in the drama, the hierarchy would likely be:
Yonglian (as the eldest di son, whose mother is the official wife, actually the second son)
(Yongcong, second di son, actually seventh son, mother is the official wife)
Jingse (as the eldest di daughter, whose mother is the official wife, actually the third daughter - first and second all died young)
Yongji (as a di son, whose mother was also the official wife when he was born, but she was the second wife, who is considered subordinate to the first, actually twelfth son)
(Yongjing - thirteenth son, Jingsi - fifth daughter, mother is the second wife)
Yonghuang (eldest son, but still considered lower than sons born of official wives because his mother was a concubine. Yonghuang's position is specified a shuzhangzi 庶长子 (aka eldest son whose mother is a concubine, which is a very precarious position as technically he should be ranked on top but can't be because of his mother's position, but being the eldest he is a threat to Yonglian's position which is why Langhua hates him so much.)
Other princes according to order of birth*
Other princesses according to order of birth*
*but also sometimes according to the prestige of/amount of favour enjoyed by their mothers
In Legend of Zhen Huan, the empress' entire villian backstory was rooted in di-shu. A lot of dramas like Story of Minglan, The Sword and the Brocade revolves around the fate of unfavoured shu daughters where a lot of the angst/conflict stems from their inferior position in the household.
In terms of choosing an heir/successor, the three main debates are between choosing the di son 立嫡, the eldest son 立长, or the most talented 立贤. Of course, the perfect choice would be the eldest di son who hopefully would also be talented.
Qianlong due to his (in drama) backstory of his mother being a palace maid has a big hang up regarding the di-shu positions of his children. For a long time he was only in favour of making his di sons successors, and part of the conflict between him and Ruyi later was because Qianlong still wanted to make Yongji his successor despite him being not that suited for the position and Ruyi clearly not wanting him to inherit the throne.
When he chooses Yongqi it was a case of choosing for talent. Although, at the time, Yongqi is also technically the eldest since Yonghuang, Yonglian, Yongzhang have all died and Yongcheng has been disinherited/adopted out.
By the time he choose Yongyan I guess he didn't have that many choices left:
Yonghuang, Yonglian, Yongzhang, Yongqi, Yongcong - dead
Yongcheng - adopted out
Yongrong - probably tainted by association to Luyun and Yongzhang
Yongxuan & Yongxing - tained by association to Yuyan and Yongcheng
Yongji - probably also dead by then
Yongyan
Yonglin - younger than Yongyan so between the two of them obvious Yongyan was the one
For someone who had 17 sons, he really didn't have that many choices for a successor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ip Man’s peaceful life in Foshan changes after Gong Yutian seeks an heir for his family in Southern China. Ip Man then meets Gong Er who challenges him for the sake of regaining her family’s honor. After the Second Sino-Japanese War, Ip Man moves to Hong Kong and struggles to provide for his family. In the mean time, Gong Er chooses the path of vengeance after her father was killed by Ma San.

Werner Screenplay: Zou Jingzhi Makeup Artist: Kwan Lee-na Associate Producer: Johnnie Kong Art Direction: William Chang Suk-Ping Art Direction: Alfred Yau Wai-Ming Costume Design: Shandy Lui Fung-Shan Movie Reviews: CinemaSerf: I’m a fan of Wong Kar-Wai’s films but I reckon that I still prefer Wilson Yip’s 2008 version of the Ip Man story. Set amidst the turbulent times in China that saw the end of the rule of Manchu dynasty, the embryonic republic established and then the Japanese invasion, we meet a man (Tony Leung) who lives peacefully in the small town of Foshan until he meets Wing Chun grand master Gong Yutian (Qingxiang Wang) who is looking for a successor. That is the beginning of a journey that will see him become a grand master of the martial art himself, whilst meeting, marrying and surviving! It’s a superb looking film but for me just a little too over-stylised. The combat scenes are creatively choreographed but the use of the slowed-down visual effects didn’t always work. Leung and the director are clearly on the same wavelength, and the story itself is a fascinating look at the rise of one culture through the wreckage of an ancient one. It’s also clear that women too had their place in this society – and it wasn’t always where stereotype might assume. A strong contribution from the adept and nimble Ziyi Zhang (Gong Er) demonstrates that well as battle lines between the old and new, the powerful and the aspirational are drawn and a good old dose of ancient tribal warfare sets up a proud story of heritage, loyalty and skill. Though a little soporifically scored at times, this is an enjoyable mix of history with touch of romance and plenty of action, and is well worth a couple of hours.

Hi, could you talk about the marriage of imperial princes? Specifically the children of the current emperor. We can see this in Ruyi (it's been a while since I watched and forgive any mistakes) when Hongli was still a prince he had the ability to "choose" his wife, no matter how much Noble Consort Xi influenced him to choose Lady Fucha. Later we see him agreeing to Noble Consort Jia's request to marry Yongcheng to Prince Heyi's daughter, I can't forget Yonghuang who was resentful that his wife was from a lower flag. So I had this doubt, why did some princes have this opportunity to "choose" while others didn't?
sorry for my english
Well, choose is a strong word.
There is a distinction between the circumstances where Hongli chooses his wife and Yongcheng choosing his wife.
Ok, the ceremony we see where Hongli(‘s mother) choose Langhua, Xiyue and Hongli chooses Qingying as his wife is part of a much larger ritual, called xuan xiunu (selecting honoured ladies). Xuan xiunu is a ritual that takes place every three years, and in dramas it’s usually to select new concubines for the emperor (i.e. how Zhen Huan, Meizhuang et al. were selected). However, in reality, xuan xiunu is not just to choose wives for the emperor, it’s a much more complex process to select:
Yes, potential new concubines for the emperors
But also wives for princes and imperial relatives who the emperor may want to bestow (usually political) marriages on
But also high ranking maids to serve in positions close to women of the imperial family, including current consorts, consort dowagers, empress dowager etc. There are levels to being palace maids, and the highest level dealing closely with ranked persons would be more akin to positions of ladies in waiting, which in western history were also high-ranked women chosen to serve the Queen (in this case also high ranking imperial consorts and the empress).
(Contrary to what is portrayed in dramas, you can't just beat palace maids to death nilly willy with no repercussions like Hua Fei with Fuzi, especially maids who were serving close to higher ranks. There are consequences - see Qianlong's Dun Fei.)
There is a short subplot early in Bu Bu Jing Xin where Ruoxi, the daughter of a general and sister to the Eighth Prince’s secondary consort, is supposed to be a candidate in the xuan xiunu ceremony. While the Eighth Prince was able to use his connections to get her out of the list to be potential concubine to the emperor (Kangxi) and for marriages to the princes, she was nevertheless chosen for a guannuzi position serving the emperor himself.
(There’s a whole comedy of errors where the goal actually was to get Ruoxi to be not chosen for any position at all, but then too many princes suddenly took an interest in getting her out of lists that the consorts dealing with the selection started getting suspicious and competitive among themselves on who gets to keep her and then she becomes the emperor’s maid anyway, which they had been desperate to avoid because even though Kangxi hasn’t shown any romantic interest in Ruoxi, never say never.)
Guannuzi is a position that can potentially become a concubine to the emperor – a palace maid raised to the position of guannuzi can wait on the emperor overnight and in harem drama it’s equal to basically becoming the emperor’s concubine in all but name. Yu Ying’er and Songzhi in Legend of Zhen Huan were both raised from palace maids to guannuzi for this reason. But in BBJX it’s made clear that the position itself doesn’t have to be a concubine position, and Ruoxi was just the emperor’s tea maid.
High ranking maids like Ruoxi (and I guess dowry maids of the consorts we see in dramas like Ruyi and Zhen Huan) could be bestowed good marriages later as reward for their service as well.
Anyway. Back to Hongli. His wives were chosen in the xuan xiunu ceremony because the time of marriage happened to fall on the same period as a xuan xiunu ceremony was taking place. And by the time you get to that shortlist who gets to meet Xi Fei, there has already a whole load of selection and cuts being made off-screen. Everyone knows going in that both the Emperor and Xi Fei thinks Langhua is most suitable and the whole selection on Hongli’s part is jus ceremonial. He probably deludes himself into thinking he did have a right to choose Qingying/Ruyi if he wanted to, but honestly it would have been a bad move politically. At that point, even Yongzheng probably didn’t want him to choose Qingying, who has already been rejected by Hongshi. If disaster hadn’t struck with Hongshi and Ruyi’s aunt at that point, driving Qingying’s family into disgrace, if Hongli had insisted on choosing Qingying in that moment against his mother’s clear wishes, Xi Fei wouldn’t be able to say anything against it as at that point, Qingying was the empress’s niece. But it would not have been a good political move on his part and would have made things bad for Qingying anyway.
With Yongcheng, he is of an age to be married, but no xuan xiunu ceremony was due any time soon, in that case the emperor can just choose someone(‘s daughter) that he knows to bestow in marriage on his sons – same for Yongqi. Yuyan knew that Qianlong was thinking about Yongcheng’s marriage at that point, so she not so slyly suggested who she wanted, without realising that she was challenging the emperor in doing that and showing herself to be too arrogant for her own good. I think the idea was that Qianlong had someone lower in mind for Yongcheng but Yuyan thought that only a woman descended from Kangxi’s daughter was suitable. Yongcheng didn’t resent his wife for being lowborn, he resented his wife for being too high born and feeling like she shouldn’t be paying respect to a disgraced concubine, even though she still owes that to Yuyan as her mother in law regardless.
I think in the novel, Qianlong also deliberately chose women from lower ranking clans for both Yonghuang and Yongqi in hope that it would not make it too obvious how he was considering them both at different points as heirs (probably learning from his own situation where it was obvious where he was headed with Langhua being chosen as his consort), but it was Yonghuang that had a problem with that as well IIRC.

hey! do you mind explaining the whole lucky 4/ lucky 8 convo that take place in ep 63 of ruyi? like what was the meaning behind it?
bear with me anon because this post is gonna be another long one
the conversation is really prompted when yanwan, in an attempt to insult yongcheng, brings up the eight and ninth princes of the kangxi emperor, qianlong’s grandfather, who were punished for their involvement in the succession war that took place between the various princes of kangxi for the seat of the crown prince. they were punished by being forced to change their names to acina and seshe which were manchu words that meant “to carry your crime” and “annoying person” respectively but when translated to mandarin it meant “pig” and “dog”, which was used to condemn their sins. 
yuyan is angered and questions yanwan if she was comparing her sons to the eighth and ninth princes of the kangxi emperor. ruyi then says that yuyan is taking it too personally and that qianlong would never have such unfilial sons. it is then that yuyan responds that of course her children wouldn’t be that way and that they are lucky due to them being the 4th and 8th princes, as the founding emperor of the qing dynasty hong taiji, qianlong’s great-great-grandfather, was the eighth son of nurhaci, the khan of the jin dynasty, and the yongzheng emperor (qianlong’s father) was the fourth prince and so qianlong is the 4th prince too. she ends of by saying that no matter how unskilled her sons are they at least have the luck of their ancestors.
since yuyan brought up the correlation between the numbers to the succession, which is a taboo topic due to the conflict that happened during the kangxi era, everyone in the harem is just going uh-oh and that is eventually what triggers qianlong to have her permanently demoted. there might be some innaccuracies here but that is about it.
