She participated in the draft at the age of 13, was favored by Kangxi at a glance, included in the harem as a concubine, she gave birth to three children for Kangxi, but only one survived, she was the representative of the concubines of the late Kangxi period, because of the merits of giving birth to the crown princess and the emperors of the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, becoming one of the concubines with a better ending in Kangxi.
Speaking of Kangxi's favorite concubines in the early and middle periods, we are more familiar with the four concubines of Huiyi Derong, these four women gave birth to a total of 17 children for Kangxi, which can be said to have made great contributions to the royal family. However, in the middle and late Kangxi period, as the four concubines grew older, Kangxi paid more attention to some young women, especially some Han concubines, who were quite favored.
Around the time of the Kangxi Dynasty, a 13-year-old girl from the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner named Gao Zaiyi, whose father, Gao Tingxiu, had been elected as an ambassador to the Royal Bureau of Casting and Printing. At that time, although Kangxi was over fifty years old, he had no resistance to these flower-like maidens in the harem, and it was in this situation that Gao Shi gained Kangxi's favor.
Because he was born in the Han Army Banner, Gao Shi was only a concubine with a low rank when he first entered the palace, according to the "Qing Dynasty Cabinet Daku Scattered Manchu Archives Selection", in the forty-sixth year of kangxi, there were a total of twenty-six people under the throne of the Holy Ancestor Qianqing Palace, and there were ten people without titles, and Gao Shi should be one of them.
From the 40th year of Kangxi to the 45th year of Kangxi, gao was quite favored by Kangxi, and in this short period of five years, Gao gave birth to three children for Kangxi in a row, namely the 19th son of the emperor, Yin Chen, the 19th daughter of the emperor, and the 20th son of the emperor, Yun Yi. Especially when he gave birth to the emperor's twentieth son, YunYi, Kangxi was already 53 years old, which was also considered to be an old son at that time, but of the three children born to Gao, only the twenty-son of the emperor, YunYi, survived, and the other two children only lived for two years before dying.
Although the Gao clan gave birth to three children for Kangxi in succession, the Kangxi Dynasty attached great importance to the origin of concubines, and it was obvious that the origin of the Gao Clan Han Junqi was not enough for Kangxi to canonize her, so throughout the Kangxi Dynasty, gao was always a concubine.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he honored some of the Kangxi concubines, saying, "Now there are those who have not been crowned the mother of their great-born brothers, and they should be crowned nobles." "Gao Shi was honored by Yongzheng as an imperial kaoxiu nobleman by virtue of the merits of the three children born to him, which is considered to have a decent position, but Gao's son Yun Yi was sent to the tomb in the twelfth year of Yongzheng, and he was actually demoted by the Yongzheng Emperor to the third rank in a row, and was demoted from Dorobele to the Duke of Fuguo.
After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he did not feel too embarrassed about this imperial uncle, and restored Yun Yi to Baylor and ordered him to guard the Tailing Tomb, at the same time, Qianlong also made Yun Yi's mother Gao Shi a concubine of the emperor, which was enough to give the mother and son face. Eventually, Concubine Gao died of illness at Ningshou Palace in the eleventh year of Qianlong, and her son Yun Yi died of illness in the twentieth year of Qianlong, and was honored as Jian Jing Belle.
