As the supreme emperor, the harem sits on three thousand pink daisy, if you like, you can also add fresh beauty at any time, so in the ancient harem, sisters, aunts and nephews are the emperor's concubines is a very common phenomenon.
Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was the most emperor, and the number of his harem concubines was not much, even so, he also married 4 pairs of sister flowers in his lifetime. What is the purpose of marrying all the sisters into the palace at the same time?
Kangxi married so many sisters, was it really his sister-in-law who loved him? In fact, kangxi did this somewhat for political gain, some out of gratitude, and for him there was not much emotion in it.

1. Guo Luo Luo's sister flower
This is the familiar Concubine Yi, delicate and lovely, has always been the pistachio of Kangxi, and has given birth to two sons. It was only in the wrong line in the subsequent Kowloon Conquest Incident that Yongzheng was executed after he ascended the throne, and Concubine Yi was grief-stricken and finally died.
When Kangxi was still on the throne, Concubine Yi's sister also followed her into the palace, but this sister did not have any remarkable places, and the last trace could not be found in the history books.

2. Tong Jia sister flowers
Tong Jiashi has appeared in many ancient film and television works. She is a kind, gentle, intelligent woman. Kangxi and Tong Jia are very close cousins, Tong Jia's father is the younger brother of Kangxi's biological mother, so Tong Jia has lived in the imperial palace since childhood, and Tong Jia and Kangxi are more familiar than others, but this is not the love of Qingmei Bamboo Horse.
It is said that Kangxi treats Tong Jia more like his sisters, has no children's affection, and therefore Tong Jia is not favored, although he looks dignified and virtuous on the outside, gentle and sensible, in fact, he is still very depressed inside. Therefore, Tong Jia's body has not been able to be considered good.

Although Tong Jia's grace was not very grand, it was not an ordinary weight in Kangxi's mind. When Kangxi was pacifying San Francisco, he rewarded Tong Jia and made her a noble concubine. After that, he even asked her to assist the sixth house, although she did not have the real name of the empress, but still had real power.
It's just that Tong Jia's life is also thin, and the premature death of the eighth daughter of the Emperor makes her exhausted and seriously ill in bed. Kangxi even made Tong Jia empress, but ultimately failed to keep Tong Jia's life. In the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, on the second day of her canonization as empress, Tong Jiashi passed away.

Tong Jia's goodness, as well as his special feelings for his uncle's family, allowed Kangxi to later bring another sister-in-law, Tong Jia's own sister, to the palace. But what was equally strange was that this little Tong sister still could not attract Kangxi's attention, had no grace, did not have canonization, and did not get until the other capable women in the palace were old, and Kangxi remembered Xiao Tong's sister.
Xiao Tong's sister, like her sister, was a very capable lord, so Kangxi drew a large drawing, lifted her directly to the throne of the noble concubine, and began to manage the six palaces. But no favor is also the "blessing" of Xiao Tong's sister's final and end-up age.
Because of the lack of children and the impact of the struggle for the throne, Xiao Tong's sister was finally named the Imperial Concubine of the Imperial Examination and the Imperial Ancestor Shouqi Imperial Concubine, and raised her well in her later years, which can be said to be a rare good death among the Kangxi Concubines.

3. Sister flowers of the Niu Cobalt Lu clan
At that time, Herschel's strong opponent who was elected empress was the sister of the Niu Cobalt Lu clan. Niu Cobalt Lu was the daughter of Shu Bilong and the righteous daughter of Ao Bai, but due to political reasons, Niu Cobalt Lu clan missed the throne of the empress at that time, but Niu Cobalt Lu became a woman that Kangxi liked more.
The girls born in the royal family were more intelligent, and literate and hyphenated, she was a talented woman in the harem of the Qing Dynasty where the woman was talentless, and Kangxi also appreciated the knowledge of the Niu Cobalt Lu clan, even if Ao Bai was later suppressed, Qiu Bilong followed the suffering, and did not blame the Niu Cobalt Lu clan.
Later, When Herschel died, the Niu Cobalt Lu clan became empress as she wished, but she also died suddenly a year later, and Kangxi once suspected that he had a wife, not without reason.

It just so happened that the Niu Cobalt Lu clan also had a sister who was like a flower, and Kangxi made this little sister-in-law a noble concubine in one fell swoop and pampered her well. As a result, this gentle concubine did not have the calm and calm of her sister Niu Cobalt Lu, and with her own identity and favor, she was arrogant in the palace, and even offended Kangxi's biological mother.
Kangxi was a great filial piety, and after his mother knocked on the side several times, he didn't bother to spoil Concubine Wen again. Not long after, Concubine Wen died of depression. In the end, Kangxi still read in the Niu Cobalt Lu clan, and Wen Xian's concubine conceived a son, in view of these two, Kangxi still gave her a title and buried her in the royal cemetery.
4. The Herschel sisters
As the first empress of the Kangxi Dynasty, The Herschel clan held an unshakable position in his heart. This is also because of the ancients' affection for the marriage, in ancient China, the original wife in a man's heart is extremely weighty, even if they have a group of wives and concubines in the future, but the wife will always be the wife, is their own façade, irreplaceable.
Moreover, at that time, after marrying the Herschel clan, Kangxi received the full support of the heavy minister Sony Yimai, and for Kangxi, who was only 14 years old at the time, this political gift was unmatched by any woman. Heschel was son's granddaughter, at that time the government was complicated, Aobai held military power, and Kangxi, who had grown up, was dissatisfied with Aobai's despotism and seizure of power, but the helpless strength was not enough to overthrow Aobai.

At this time, Kangxi's grandmother, Empress Xiaozhuang, wisely chose an empress for Kangxi, which was the Hersheli clan. Kangxi had great respect for the Herschel clan. Herschel was 2 years older than Kangxi and was brilliant, and his emotional intelligence was very high in dealing with problems, which made the young Kangxi like the empress more and more.
However, the Herschel clan did not stay on the throne of the empress for long, and their eldest son died shortly after birth, and then in order to give birth to Yin, the Herschel clan died in childbirth, and this sad news made Kangxi make the decision to establish the crown prince at that time, and made Yin Rong crown prince.
Not only that, kangxi later received the sister of the Heschel clan to his palace, but unfortunately, this sister and the sister Ofsheri did not have any similarities, and Kangxi only occasionally thought of her.
Later, he gave birth to a son for only a month before he died, and after that, until his death, Kangxi never thought of this little sister-in-law again, and even if he was named a concubine, he was also blessed by the Heschel clan.
Although Kangxi married these sisters-in-law, it was obvious that the status of the sisters and the sisters could not be replaced, and it was still reasonable to come first and come later.
