In the Manchu Qing Imperial Palace, there has always been no shortage of beautiful people from all over, especially in the harem of the Qianlong Emperor. Many people know that the Qianlong Emperor is completely an out-and-out "face value control", and the emperor's primary condition for selecting concubines is "beauty". At that time, there was a woman who was originally Qianlong's maid, who was infertile all her life but was full of grace, and even Empress Fucha was very jealous of her.
She was the Noble Concubine Gao Jia of the Huixian Emperor, her original surname was "Gao", and it could be seen from her surname that she was not a Manchu nobleman, but a slave at that time. During the Yongzheng period, according to her origin, she was not eligible to participate in the three-year concubine draft, so she entered the imperial palace through the palace women's draft held by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After she entered the palace, she was arranged to become a maid by the side of the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli.
In the palace, although her family lineage is not worth mentioning, she herself is very beautiful and has a very gentle personality. At that time, the crown prince would go out of the palace to establish his own mansion when he became an adult, and since she entered the palace, she was loved by the crown prince Hongli and was soon given the title of "Gege". Later, with countless graces, she became a side Fujin in the palace, and her status became very noble. After the death of the Yongzheng Emperor, Hongli inherited the throne and was known as the Qianlong Emperor. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he ordered that his wives and concubines should be crowned. Relying on the favor of the emperor, the Gao clan was awarded the title of "noble concubine" without having an heir, second only to empress Fucha.
Strange to say, she had always been favored, but she had not been able to have children, but the emperor's love for her never diminished, which made Empress Fucha also a little jealous of her.
Moreover, she had always been weak, and the emperor preferred her even more. Whenever she was unwell, the emperor was particularly worried and ordered that all the most precious medicinal herbs in the palace be given to her. In addition, the emperor would often reward her with rare treasures for her amusement. Later, her illness worsened, and the emperor was very anxious, in order to reassure her, he specially ordered her to be crowned "Imperial Noble Concubine", which was also the first woman in the Qianlong harem to receive such a title.
Unfortunately, she eventually died. After her death, the emperor personally proposed "HuiXian" as her title. At that time, Qianlong had not yet built an imperial tomb for himself, but he hoped that he would be buried with her after his death, so he ordered that her golden coffin be suspended in the funeral palace. In 1752, when the emperor's Yuling Tomb was completed, she was reburied and became one of the five concubines who were later buried with Qianlong. Later, after the Jiaqing Emperor succeeded to the throne, he deliberately raised the flag of her clan and gave her the surname "Gao Jia", becoming a nobleman of the Manchu Qing.
Throughout the life of this imperial concubine, Xiaobian felt that although she was a maid, she was favored by the emperor and lived a very happy life. Even if she did not give birth to an imperial heir, the emperor never cared, which showed that the emperor and her feelings were indeed extremely deep, and it was no wonder that even Empress Fucha was jealous of her.
