Speaking of the Kangxi Emperor's favorite concubines, we have to mention four women, Hui Yide Rong Four Concubines, of these four women, Rong Fei was the first to be favored. Moreover, Concubine Rong was also the woman who bore the most children for Kangxi, and she gave birth to a total of six children, but the first concubine of Kangxi's favor did not have a good ending.
In the early years of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the 10-year-old Rong Concubine Ma Jia was sent directly to the imperial palace, and because she was not yet at the age of serving and canonizing, she could only be temporarily raised in the palace, a phenomenon known as staying in the palace. At that time, Kangxi was only a teenager, and as he grew older, the opportunities for Kangxi to contact ma jia gradually increased, and at the time of the imperial transformation, Ma Jia became the earliest woman in Kangxi.
In the sixth year of Kangxi, Ma Jia gave birth to kangxi's first child, that is, the emperor's eldest son Chengrui, who was only 14 years old at the time, and when he saw the prince in front of him, Kangxi was very happy, and his heart was a little more curious. After that, Kangxi became more and more fond of the Ma Jia clan, and in the following nine years, the Ma Jia clan gave birth to five children in succession, and among the crown princesses born in the early days of Kangxi, Ma Jia clan accounted for almost half of them, and the favor of the Ma Jia clan was evident.
For the royal family to make great contributions, in the sixteenth year of Kangxi and the twenty years of Kangxi, Ma Jia's name is in it, the first time was canonized as a concubine, the second time was crowned as a concubine. However, due to the young age of Ma Jia's children, the survival rate of his children was not high, and only the third son of the emperor, Yin Zhi, and the third daughter of the emperor, Princess Gulun Rongxian, survived.
Moreover, since the Kangxi Dynasty ma jiashi was crowned as a concubine, her position was never promoted again, but because of her seniority in the harem, Ma Jiashi and Consort Hui assisted the imperial concubine (Empress Xiaoyiren) in handling the affairs of the six palaces at the behest of Empress Dowager Yi.
For these two children born to Ma Jia, Kangxi was also very fond of them, and the third daughter of the emperor was eventually crowned as the Princess of Gulun, and the third son of the emperor, Yin Zhi, was also a very talented prince, who was quite relied on by Kangxi. However, the more capable the prince, the more ideas there are, the third son of the emperor Yin Zhi is one of the princes who participated in the struggle for concubines in the later years of Kangxi, although Yongzheng did not suppress them as he did with Yin Yu and Yin Yu after succeeding to the throne, but Yin Zhi himself did not have a good ending, he was imprisoned by Yong Zheng for being rude to the funeral of Yin Xiang the Prince of Yi, and eventually died in the yushou.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Yongzheng honored Kangxi's will to send the older concubines out of the palace to be supported by his son, and the Ma Jia clan was supported in his son Yinzhi Mansion, and finally, Ma Jia died of illness in The Yinzhi Mansion on the sixth day of the first month of march in the fifth leap year of Yongzheng. Fortunately, Ma Jiashi had taken a step earlier, and if it was later, she would see her son Yin Zhi being imprisoned, and even the tragic situation of white-haired people sending black-haired people, which must be what Ma Jiashi did not want to see.
