Yong was a more pragmatic emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was not as good as a dog and horse, and was less numerous in terms of concubines than his father Kangxi and son Qianlong. Moreover, Yongzheng was slightly stingy in terms of canonizing concubines, according to statistics, there were only eight concubines above the concubine rank, including the only concubine in the Yongzheng harem, and this only concubine was also the earliest woman of Yongzheng, she was a concubine.
Concubine Mao was born in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, one year older than Yongzheng, and his father was the chief minister Jin Zhu. Regarding the specific family lineage of the Song family, there is not much record in the historical records, speculating that the Song clan should be a clothed woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Qing Dynasty royal family has a custom that the prince will be given a certain number of official women before marriage, these official women are the clothed women of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Song clan is most likely the first official woman given to Yongzheng by Kangxi.
At that time, Yongzheng had not yet married Empress Xiaojingxian, nor did he live in a separate house, and all his life and living were in the palace, and the Song clan was the first woman to contact Yongzheng the most, so it was not long before the Song clan became Yongzheng's concubine, called Gege.
In the thirty-third year of Kangxi, the Song clan gave birth to the first child for the 16-year-old Yongzheng, that is, the eldest daughter of the emperor, kangxi forty-five years, the Song clan gave birth to the third daughter of the emperor, it can be found that the time interval between the first and second births is 12 years, which shows that in the early stage, the Song clan continued to be favored, but the two daughters born to the Song clan did not live, and both lived for only one month.
Forty-five years after the Kangxi Dynasty, the Song clan was no longer young and gradually lost favor, and Yongzheng's attention shifted to the newly married Side Fu Jinnian Clan (Dunsu Emperor Guifei). Coupled with the need to win over Nian's brother Nian Qianyao, for a while, Nian became the hottest woman in the Yongwang Mansion. At this time, the Song clan has already become a yellow flower of tomorrow, and almost every night is spent in loneliness.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he canonized the old people of the Qiandi, and the Song clan was crowned as a concubine by virtue of the merit of giving birth to two daughters, which is also considered to be the lord of the first palace, which is already very good. However, what is unexpected is that this concubine is both the first title of the Song clan and her final title, and until Yongzheng's death in the eighth year, the Song clan was never promoted again.
In the middle and late Yongzheng period, the harem dominated by several concubines who gave birth to princes, such as the fourth brother Hongli's birth mother Xi Guifei, the fifth brother Hong's birth mother Yu Concubine, etc., and the Song family not only did not give birth to a prince, but none of the two daughters born to them survived, and truly became a "lonely person".
In September of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Mao Concubine died of illness in the palace at the age of 54, because the Yongzheng Tai Mausoleum had not yet been built at that time, so the Song golden coffin had to be temporarily stored in the Tamura Funeral Palace, and it was not until the completion of the Tai Mausoleum in the second year of Qianlong that the Song clan was able to enter the ground. Moreover, the Song clan eventually became the only concubine in the Taiyuan Concubine Garden.
