Kangxi had a very favored concubine, namely Concubine Yi, who bore Kangxi three sons, including Yongzheng's sworn enemy Lao Jiuyinyu, so after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Concubine Yi did not receive the honorific title. In addition, Yifei had a younger sister, who was also included in the harem by Kangxi, she was the noble Guo Luoluoshi, compared with her sister Yifei, Guo Luoluo's ending was much better, why is this?
In fact, Guo Luoluo's ability to enter the palace has a lot to do with the favor of his sister Concubine Yi.
In the sixteenth year of The Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi was crowned a concubine on a large scale for the first time, and Concubine Yi was given the title of Concubine Yi and became one of the seven concubines. The sister was favored by the emperor, and the younger sister Guo Luo Luoshi was elected to the harem in this year, so that both sisters became concubines of Kangxi, the difference is that Guo Luoluoshi could not be crowned like her sister, she was just a concubine without a title in the harem.
Although Guo Luoluoshi was not able to get the canonization, Kangxi was very fond of this young girl who had just entered the palace, and after two years in the palace, Guo Luoluo gave birth to a daughter, the later Princess Gulun Kejing. Princess Gulun Kejing was the sixth daughter of Kangxi, with the fourth princess, at that time the concubines of the Qing Palace did not have the right to raise their children personally, and after Princess Kejing was born, she was handed over by Kangxi to Concubine Yi to raise, that is, Princess Kejing was actually raised by her aunt.
In the twenty-second year of Kangxi, Guo Luoluo gave birth to another son, that is, the nineteenth son of Kangxi, Yin Yuyu, but unfortunately, this little prince lived for less than a year before dying, after which Guo Luoluo gradually lost the emperor's favor and never had children again. However, to her surprise, her daughter's marriage changed her destiny.
In the harem of Kangxi, The Gardan of Erut Mongolia was extremely restless and had always threatened the stability of the northwest frontier of the Qing Dynasty, so Kangxi kept sending his daughters to various mongolian ministries and marrying Mongol tribes, and Princess Kejing was no exception.
In the thirty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the 19-year-old Kejing was made a Princess Heshuo and married to TunDobu Dorji of the Khalkha Mongol Tushetu Khanate, which belonged to Outer Mongolia and, if it could be subordinated to the imperial court, would curb the Kaldan who was bent on separatism. Therefore, Kangxi married his daughter Kejing.
In fact, Princess Kejing's marriage did play a role; since Kejing's marriage, the Khalkha Mongols had no more infighting and made concerted efforts to deal with the divided Gardan, and Kangxi deliberately built a princess mansion for her daughter Kejing in naturalization city, which was like an independent kingdom, not under the jurisdiction of naturalized generals and overseers, and Princess Kejing was also able to participate in politics and deliberations, and had the power of the emperor to supervise the country, which can be said to be the power to overthrow the north and the south.
This was very rare among the princesses of the Qing Dynasty, so people gave her a unique title of "Princess of the Sea Clam". However, Princess Kejing did not rely on her own power and arrogance, but sympathized with the people, and the "Princess Mansion Chronicle" called her "frugal and supple, not waiting for the pride of the royal family, and being skillful in etiquette", and erected a meritorious monument for her by the Qingshui River: "Since the reclamation, all the peasants who have enthusiastically competed for it have been innumerable", "The virtue of the princess is also felt".
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, although Princess Kejing's adoptive mother, Princess Yifei, did not get the honorific title, but for such an influential princess, Yongzheng did not dare to despise it, so he ordered that this sister, who was only one year younger than herself, be crowned Princess Gulun. The imperial family of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that only the daughter born to the empress could be crowned Princess Gulun, and Kejing's mother was only a concubine, and her daughter was actually named Princess Gulun, which was obviously an exception.
Regarding Princess Kejing's birth mother Guo Luoluoshi, although there are not many follow-up records in the historical data, it can be guessed that its ending is obviously much better than that of her sister Concubine Yi, after all, her daughter has a career and is valued by the imperial court, and she will definitely follow the light.
