Kangxi's concubine Guo Luoluoshi (郭羅羅氏), a Manchurian yellow flag bearer, whose father was the yellow flag leader Sanguan Bao, and whose sister was also a nobleman of the Kangxi Emperor. Guo Luo Luoshi was born with three banners, which is considered to be a noble and pure person, that is to say, Concubine Yi was born well.
In addition, Concubine Yi was deeply favored by the Kangxi Emperor, as evidenced by three points:
First, the status of concubines is higher.
Among the Kangxi concubines, Yifei was second only to Huifei and was the most favored concubine among the four concubines of Kangxi. Princess Yi gave birth to the fifth son of the Emperor Yinqi, the ninth son of the Emperor Yinyu and the eleventh son of the Emperor Yinyu, which is the so-called "
Mothers are precious to their children
Concubine Yi gave birth to three sons for the Kangxi Emperor, and it was inevitable that she would be favored and noble.
Second, Concubine Yi is "the most deeply cared for"
。 Yifei and her descendants were all taken care of by the Kangxi Emperor, and Kangxi returned to Shengjing on a tour, and once stayed twice in the home of Yifei's father, Sanguan Bao, which was a great honor for Yifei's descendants. According to the "Biography of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty", after the death of Concubine Yi's father Zuo Ling Sanguan Bao, the Kangxi Emperor had The Emperor han Zhao erect a monument for her as a sign of praise, and pointed out that Yi Fei's father Zuo Ling San Guan Bao was a concubine ''kin':
''Akai, a man with a yellow flag, Sun Sanguan Baoyuan served as a waiter and a leader in the Ministry of Works. Case Han Gong Gong proposed to give the stele: more Yu Shu Shun Zhi Xian, style praise of the palace of the transformation. Relatives, Banya is a close subject. Shengjing was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office's Guanfang Seal and the Three Officials. ''
It is recorded in the Yongxian Lu: ''
The deepest affection
''。
Third, Yifei lived in Yikun Palace for the longest time.
Concubine Yi lived in Yikun Palace for more than half a century. What is the "Yikun Palace"? The distribution layout of the Imperial City Palace is all honorable and exquisite, with the East and West Zodiac houses respecting the east, the proximity to the central axis, and the proximity to the Qianqing Palace. Yikun Palace is located in the north of Yongshou Palace, the south of Chuxiu Palace, and the east of Changchun Palace. "Yi" is interpreted as an assistant, the queen's residence is Kunning Palace, and "Yi Kun" means to assist the empress in managing the six palaces. Concubine Yi's long-term residence in Yikun Palace shows that she assisted the empress in managing the status of the six palaces, which shows her honor.
The above three points show that Concubine Yi was deeply favored by the Kangxi Emperor. However, her son Yin Yu was caught in the political struggle of the Ninth Son, and Yin Yu was hit hard by the Yongzheng Emperor because he was the sworn enemy of the old Eight Yin Yu.
When the Kangxi Emperor died, Concubine Yi was seriously ill, so she had to take a palanquin and order someone to carry her into the Qianqing Palace in front of the Kangxi Spirit, which was an act of disrespect in the imperial palace, and the Yongzheng Emperor took advantage of this."
Knock on the mountain and shock the tiger
He severely reprimanded the palace eunuchs around Concubine Yi. As for yongzheng's humiliation of Concubine Yi in person, there is no written record, which may be fabricated by later generations.
Later, some people rumored that the Yongzheng Emperor had an affair with the concubines of the Kangxi Harem, and Yongzheng defended it in the "Mystery of The Great Righteousness". Consider that the Yongzheng Emperor was 45 years old when he ascended the throne, and Concubine Yi was already 58 years old, saying that the Yongzheng Emperor had an affair with the concubines of the Kangxi harem is not convincing. This was mostly done by the Yongzheng Emperor because of his crackdown on political enemies, the Eight Ye Party, the Eight Ye Party members, or the old Eight Elders and nine disciples.
Saying that Yongzheng humiliated The Kangxi Empress Dowager Yifei is probably part of these rumors.
After the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, he sent Concubine Yi to live with Lao Jiuyin, and among the brothers that Yongzheng attacked, Yunyu was the worst. In particular, the days when Yongzheng handed Over Yun Yu to Li Fu's custody were very miserable, hungry and sick.
On the other hand, Yin Qi, the eldest son of Concubine Yi, was deeply trusted and relied upon by the Yongzheng Emperor, and many important matters were handled by Yun Qi. Why the Yongzheng Emperor did not entrust Concubine Yi to Yun Qi but entrusted her to the care of the battered Yun Yu, it is not difficult to imagine the meaning of this.
Fortunately, however, after Yun Yu's death, Yongzheng handed over Concubine Yi to Yun Qi, which was also a comfort. However, I think that the brotherly struggle, the pain of losing a son, the difference between flesh and bones, and the scars left on Yifei's heart are the greatest humiliation to her.
In the tenth year of Yongzheng, Yun Qi died, and Yin Yu died at the age of twelve, the favorite concubine of the Kangxi era, who eventually lost her last reliance, and a year later, also went with her sons.
