1,000 meters east of the Kangxi Jing mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, there is a luxurious concubine garden bed, which was built separately by concubines in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although this concubine garden bed was built in the fourth year of Qianlong, it is buried two concubines of Kangxi, namely the concubines of the Emperor Huihui and the concubines of the Emperor Yiyi, also known as the Double Concubine Garden Bed. Since qianlong ordered the construction, what kind of relationship did these two concubines have with Qianlong?
Folk beauties from Ninguta
The Kangxi Emperor had a wish to marry a beautiful woman from Ninguta. One day, Kangxi had a dream that on the edge of a large river in the northeast, there was a beautiful woman dressed in simple clothes and like a jade flower, holding a kingfisher in her arms, riding a dragon. When she woke up, the beautiful woman smiled and smiled in front of her eyes.
Therefore, Kangxi immediately summoned the ministers from Ningguta and sent them to serve as chincha ministers to the northeast Ninguta region to draft a draft, and instructed them to be the daughter of the dragon and the phoenix. In order to be able to find this beautiful woman, this draft is not limited to the daughter of the Eight Banners who have a taste minister's family, and even the daughters of ordinary people can also participate.
Minister Chincha cooperated with the local officials, and selected the daughter of the Qi family over and over again, and the best of the best, and even selected more than fifty beautiful women, and the local officials were very happy. However, the minister of Chincha was not happy, because none of these beautiful women were in line with the emperor's words about riding a dragon and holding a phoenix, how could this be good!
As soon as the local officials heard the minister of Chincha say that the daughter riding the dragon and holding the phoenix was on the edge of a large river, they guessed that it must be the Mudanjiang River, so they suggested that they visit along the Songhua River. In this way, they went up the Mudanjiang River to a small fishing village at the bend, which was the hometown of Shengjing Sanpin Xielin, at this time, Human's wife and daughter lived in their hometown and made a living from fishing.
The villagers heard that the minister of Chincha came to the village to draft a draft, and the village immediately became lively, and the minister of Chincha looked at the second daughter and the third daughter of Human, and they were very satisfied, and sure enough, they were all beautiful women. Then he asked Mrs. Qiman if she had any other daughters, and Mrs. Human said that she had a younger daughter (the fourth oldest), and that she had caught the chicken and looked black, so she didn't have to look at it.
As soon as the minister of Chincha heard about catching chickens, he suddenly remembered what the emperor said about riding a dragon and holding a phoenix, at this time, only to hear a young girl giggle, holding a chicken at the mouth of the wall, with a round face, and her face was red and black, like a rose that bloomed purple and purple. It turned out that this young girl was The little daughter of Hu Man, and when this woman saw her mother present, she was not afraid of life, and she actually stepped on the wall, and the big rooster in her arms screamed. The officials suddenly realized: "Isn't this the daughter of the dragon riding the dragon and holding the phoenix that the emperor said?" Then he bowed to the woman on her knees and sent her to the palace.
This daughter who rode a dragon and held a phoenix was the fourth daughter of Shengjing Sanpin Xie LingHuman, whose name was Qian Sanchun, Guarjia, and a Manchurian Yellow Banner man, born in the twenty-second year of Kangxi, 29 years younger than the Kangxi Emperor.
Kangxi was a favorite concubine in his later years
In February of the 37th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, 15-year-old Guar Jiashi, the daughter of Hu Man, participated in the Eight Flags Draft and was selected into the harem because of her good looks and good morals. Two years later, Kangxi enfeoffed three concubines, the first being the noble concubine Tong Jiashi, later the Concubine Of Hui, the second being the mother of the eighth son of the Emperor, Yin Yu, the Liang Concubine Wei, and the third being the Concubine GuarJia.
Tong Jia is the kangxi emperor's concubine cousin, but also the kangxi wife sister, the status is incomparably noble, canonized as a noble concubine is a matter of course, although the Wei family is from a humble origin, but gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor Yin Yu, can be described as a great contribution to the royal family, in contrast, just entered the court only two years, only eighteen-year-old Guar Jia clan was actually named a concubine, you know, in the Kangxi Dynasty concubine is also very difficult, it can be seen that Kangxi is very satisfied with and pampered this young concubine.
This proved to be the case, and in the second year of the Guarjia clan's concubinage, she gave birth to the eighteenth daughter of the emperor for Kangxi, but this little imperial daughter died shortly after birth, and the Guarjia clan never had children again, but this still did not affect the emperor's favor for her.
In the fifty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi's last large-scale concubine, The Guarjia clan was promoted to the title of Concubine of Harmony, achieving the same rank and status as the Fourth Concubine (Huiyi Derong).
In the sixty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi brought the 12-year-old Emperor Hongli into the palace to raise him, and ordered the noble concubine Tong Jiashi (悫惠皇贵妃) to live with the concubine Guar Jia clan to take care of Hongli's life, and it was for this reason that the Guar Jia clan obtained a beautiful old age.
He was honored three times by the Emperor
In December of the 61st year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yongzheng, who had just succeeded to the throne, issued an edict:
"The Prime Minister's Affairs, the King's Minister, etc. Yongzheng (Yongzheng) was ordered by the Empress Dowager Yi. Empress Xiaoyi had raised Ergong. The noble concubine was the sister of Empress Xiaoyi. Noble concubines should be made imperial concubines. And concubines to the former emperor. Most cautious. Concubines should be made noble concubines. The Sacred Heart of the Empress Dowager is most benevolent and generous. This is a good idea. Er and others will check the case with the Ministry of Etiquette. ”
Here Yongzheng honored the Guarjia clan as the imperial concubine, because he was the most cautious emperor, but the real reason was undoubtedly that the Guarjia clan had raised Yongzheng's son Hongli.
In November of the first year of Qianlong, the Guarjia clan was honored by Qianlong, who had just succeeded to the throne, and was honored as the imperial ancestor Wen Huigui's concubine.
On the fifth day of The first month of July in the eighth year of Qianlong, shortly after the death of Emperor Wuhui's noble concubine, the Guarjia clan was once again honored by Qianlong and was honored as the emperor Wenhui Emperor Guifei, which was the same rank as the noble concubine of Emperor Huihui, forming a double concubine of equal rank.
On March 14, 19333, Guarjia died of illness at the Ningshou Palace at the age of 86, and was subsequently honored by Qianlong as the Noble Concubine of the Emperor Of Yi and buried in the Jingling Emperor's Noble Concubine Garden, that is, the Double Concubine Garden.
Shi Zai: "Sacred Ancestor Concubines, Concubines Last." (Emperor Huanyi was the last kangxi concubine to die)
It is worth mentioning that after the death of Emperor Huanyi's noble concubine, Qianlong personally came to his palace to pay tribute and sent her to the funeral, which shows that Qianlong still gave enough face to this grandmother who had raised him.
Emperor Huanyi's concubines and concubines:
