In ancient times, there were ranks, although the queen was the largest in the harem, but for other concubines, there was also a need for a hierarchical order. In Kangxi's harem, the order of concubines is as follows: Huifei, Huifei, Yifei, Rongfei, etc., but Huifei was posthumously honored after her death, so the first concubine should be Huifei. Princess Hui was the daughter of the Yehenara clan, whose family members were well-known in the imperial court, and who had a cousin we were familiar with, namely naran Pearl.
In the early years of the Kangxi Dynasty, because of the excellent family conditions, she was included in the harem of Kangxi. Good family conditions coupled with her own excellence, so after entering the palace, she was favored by Kangxi, and soon gave birth to two princes, but only one survived, he was Yin. In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, Kangxi won a great victory in quelling the Rebellion of san Francisco, and in order to celebrate this, Kangxi began to crown the women of the harem.
Although the Yehenara clan is only a concubine, she has been given the position of lord of the first house, which also shows that she will be more and more valued. By the time of the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, she had successfully become a concubine, ranking first among the four concubines, becoming the third imperial concubine after the imperial concubine Tong and the noble concubine. All this is also because of her family lineage and the power of the Naran family, after she was crowned a concubine, she adopted a son, that is, the Eight Brothers Yinyu born to Concubine Liang.
Because Concubine Liang was born as a woman in a coat, she did not have the right to raise her after giving birth to the crown prince, so her son could only be raised by a high-ranking imperial concubine, and handing over the eight brothers to Huifei to raise not only showed that the emperor attached importance to the eight brothers, but also showed that the concubines were more favored, and in Kangxi's heart, she was a person worthy of trust. However, all the favors of Concubine Hui gradually disappeared in Kangxi's later years, and this was because of the nine sons of Kangxi in his later years.
First of all, In order to seize the position of prince from the hands of the prince, Princess Hui's own son, Da Yinzhen, was finally imprisoned by Kangxi, and secondly, the eight brothers he raised also participated in the seizure of the concubine, although the reputation and ability of the eight brothers were very strong, but they could only slowly fall out of favor in the end. In the end, in the matter of taking the concubine, the fourth brother won the victory and became the next emperor. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, according to Kangxi's last wishes, he sent the imperial concubines with children to the outside of the palace and let them live with their sons.
Princess Hui's own son was imprisoned, so Yongzheng sent her to the palace of The Eight Brothers. However, After living there for four years, Princess Huifei was stripped of her clan and imprisoned until she died, so Princess Hui could only return to the palace again to recuperate. However, during the Kangxi Dynasty, by the tenth year of Yongzheng, Princess Huifei, who was in her 70s, died, and Princess Huifei, who had enjoyed glory, also left with regrets, and two years later her son Yin Zhen also died. At this point, the glory of the Yehenara clan in the Kangxi harem was temporarily over, and Princess Shu continued this glory, and later Cixi also came from the Yehenara family, and under her leadership, the Qing Dynasty became worse and worse at noon, and finally died.
