In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there were three concubines with the title of "Jing", the first of which was the Shunzhi original Borjigit clan, although the Borjigit clan had the honor of becoming the first empress of the Great Qing Dynasty, but only two years later, she was deposed by the young Tianzi. The second is the Kangxi Dynasty Concubine, comparatively speaking, this woman's ending is very good, giving birth to a son for the 60-year-old Kangxi, and both mother and son have a high life. The third is the Jing Concubine of the Daoguang Dynasty, that is, Empress Xiao Jingcheng, although Empress Xiao Jingcheng eventually obtained the title of empress, she did not become an empress before her death, and her son Yi Bi also had no connection with the throne, so it can be seen that this woman's life is not very complete.
Today, I want to tell you about the second one, that is, the concubine of the Kangxi harem.
Regarding the origin of Jing Concubine, the official historical records only record that her surname is Shi, born in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, and her father's name is Shi Huaiyu, however, in the book of Jing Concubine's later concubines, there is a description of "Zhong Xianghua Valve", so from this point of view, the origin of this woman is not simple, it is estimated that it may be that after the generals who made military achievements for the imperial court in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, they belonged to the Han Army Banner, for example, there was a Shi clan in the old thirty-three families of the Han Junxun.
Regarding the time when Jing Concubine entered the palace, there is also no record in the archives, but it is estimated that the age will not be very large, it should be around 13 years old, and if Jing Concubine is really "Zhong Xianghua Valve", her way to enter the palace should be the Eight Flags Draft.
In the middle and late Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi was particularly fond of Han concubines, according to statistics, there were 26 people under the throne of the Qianqing Palace at that time, and these 26 people referred to concubines below the empress, the big promise or above, of which there were about ten people in the big promise, and it is speculated that the jing concubines were among them, and they had a unified title: concubines.
Around the fifty years of Kangxi, Concubine Jing became more and more favored by Kangxi, often serving the emperor, and Jing Concubine's belly was also very contentious, and in the fifty-second year of Kangxi, she gave birth to a son for Kangxi, named Yin Qi, who ranked twenty-third among Kangxi's many sons, and belonged to a relatively young son, for example, Hongli (Qianlong, grandson of the Kangxi Emperor) who was born in the fifty years of Kangxi was two years older than Yin Qi.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, almost all concubines who had given birth to children for Kangxi were honored, and Jing Concubine was honored as an imperial nobleman. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Concubine Jing was once again honored, this time by Emperor Jing Concubine. It is worth mentioning that before being named Jing Concubine, Jing Concubine already had the title of Jade Concubine in the palace, that is to say, Jing Concubine may have enjoyed the concubine treatment in advance.
However, after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he did not allow concubines like Jing Concubine to move to their sons' houses, but only lived for a period of time every New Year's Festival, and Jing Concubine actually enjoyed the treatment of concubines in her later years, and there were six palace women waiting around.
On June 6, 23, Qianlong, Jing Concubine died of illness in Ningshou Palace at the age of 70, and her son Yin Qi was finally awarded the title of King of Bellejia County, yin Qi lived until Qianlong was fifty years old, at the age of 73, and both mother and son died of high life, which is rare in the Qing Palace.
