The Shunzhi Emperor's attitude towards concubines was strange. He scolded the rebbe, saying that such a thing as a concubine should wait for the empress dowager's will, how to ask him to come here, is there nothing to do.
Rebbe Shangshu Engede and others said: The canonization of the Middle Palace has been held as usual, and the concubines have not yet been canonized.

On September 29, the Shunzhi Emperor issued another decree to the Ministry of Rites, saying that the day before he had obtained the Empress Dowager's will, Dong E's clan was too good, and the whole harem could not find a better one than her, so she should be crowned as an imperial concubine, second only to the empress.

On April 17, 1664, the third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites decided that there was no need to accede to Kong Sizhen's request. However, the imperial court's reply was: Giving Kong Youde the Spring and Autumn Sacrifice was the will of the Shunzhi Emperor and should be followed.

And Kong Sizhen's attitude is also very subtle. On the second day of March in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1677), Fu Honglie mentioned in his letter to the official servant Jue Luo Shushu that Kong Sizhen had told him that he was very worried about Empress Xiaozhuang.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xiaozhuang and the Shunzhi Emperor to learn that Sun Yanling was Kong Sizhen's fiancé after Likong Sizhen was made an imperial concubine.
Rather than saying that the Shunzhi Emperor had withdrawn the edict he had already issued in order to fulfill kong Sizhen's marriage contract with Sun Yanling, it was better to say that Nakong Sizhen was a concubine, which was not the meaning of the Shunzhi Emperor at all. Not accepting the marriage arranged for him by others is quite in line with Shunzhi's style.
Shunzhi had repeatedly postponed the appointment of imperial concubines in the East and West, and later named Dong Eshi as a concubine and an imperial concubine in one breath, which was already obvious in the hearts of the Shunzhi Emperor.
