Whether it is ancient or modern society, birth is really too important for a person's future, and some people win at the starting line as soon as they are born, saying that the family background has a major impact on the individual. Today, I want to talk about a woman who was "born to be a famous person", this woman has a very close relationship with the three emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and she is the noble concubine of the Emperor Wuhui.
Emperor Hui's concubine was surnamed Tong Jia (佟佳氏), her father was Tong Guowei, a first-class duke and minister of the Imperial Guard, her aunt was Empress Xiao Kangzhang, Kangxi's biological mother, and her sister was Empress Xiaoyiren, the third empress of Kangxi, so Emperor Hui's concubine was not only Kangxi's cousin, but also Kangxi's wife and sister. However, Emperor Wuhui's concubine and sister Empress Xiaoyiren belonged to the same half-brother, Empress Xiaoyiren was concubine, and Emperor Hui's concubine was Shu.
In July of the 28th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Tong Jiashi(then imperial concubine) was seriously ill, and Kangxi immediately honored the emperor's empress dowager Yi and made Tong Jia an empress, but only one day later, Tong Jia returned to Yaochi, and after his death, he was given the title of Empress Xiaoyi. After Empress Xiaoyi's death, in order to compensate for the power of the Tong Jia family in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi decided to include the younger daughter (庶女) of his uncle Tong Guowei into the harem, and this woman was the concubine of Emperor Wuhui.
It can be speculated that it is possible that the noble concubine of the Emperor Huihui did not enter the palace through the draft, but directly "parachuted" to the Forbidden City.
In the twenty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the noble concubines of the Emperor Hui hui entered the harem of the Qing Dynasty, and as soon as they entered the palace, they were enthroned as concubines, and at that time, Hui Hui was only a teenage girl, so she was honored with the title of concubine, and the treatment of the fourth concubine of Hui Yi De Rong was the same, from which we can see how much the influence of the family lineage on a person should be.
The four concubines of Hui Yi Derong gave birth to 16 crown princesses to Kangxi, and Hui Hui did not give birth, but Kangxi seemed to be interested in attaching importance to the matriarch, and in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, he made Hui Hui a noble concubine. At that time, there were no empresses or imperial concubines in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, and the highest ranking was the noble concubine, that is to say, from the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, Wu Hui began to rule the six palaces as a noble concubine, and this situation lasted for 22 years until the sixty-first year of Kangxi.
What is even more rare is that the relationship between Wuhui and the yongzheng and Qianlong emperors is not ordinary. Empress Xiaoyiren,000 of Hercules, was Yongzheng's adoptive mother, i.e. Empress Dowager Was Yongzheng's aunt. Moreover, In his later years, He Hui also had an intersection with Qianlong in the later years of Kangxi.
It was in the spring of the 61st year of Kangxi, Kangxi met emperor Sun Hongli (Qianlong) in the Yuanmingyuan, and after liking it, he took it to the palace to raise him, and Kangxi also specially sent the noble concubine Tong Shi (悫惠皇贵妃) and two concubines to take care of Hongli, which made Hongli remember.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Huan Hui was honored as the Imperial Noble Concubine of the Imperial Examination, and after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he was honored as the Imperial Ancestor Shouqi Emperor Guigui Concubine, in order to repay the grandmother's nurturing grace, Qianlong also built a luxurious Imperial Noble Concubine Garden for her.
In the eighth year of Qianlong, Huan Hui died of illness in the Forbidden City at the age of 76, when Qianlong personally came to the Palace of Hui Hui to pay homage to the grandmother, and then Hui Hui was buried in the Jingling Emperor's noble concubine garden.
