Shunzhi was the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty after entering the Customs, and about his harem, we are more familiar with the women of The Empress Dowager, Concubine Dong and Empress Xiaohui, and of course, Empress Xiaokang, who gave birth to the Kangxi Emperor. In fact, in addition to these women, there were about thirty low-ranking concubines in the Shunzhi harem, one of whom gave birth to three children for Shunzhi, and she was the concubine who gave birth to the most children for Shunzhi.
At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the reform of the harem system underwent a process, during the Nurhaci and Emperor Taiji periods, the Manchurian nobility, including the monarch, called their wives and concubines Fujin, which was divided into Great Fujin, Small Fujin, Shu Fujin and so on. Emperor Taiji, who was proclaimed empress dowager, began to reform the system of concubines and established the system of concubines of the five palaces.
After Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, the harem system was still further developing, and the harem at that time had empresses, imperial concubines, concubines, fujins, gege, etc., with many ranks and some confusion, of which Fujin referred to those concubines who gave birth to princes, such as the emperor's eldest son Niu Niu's biological mother Pen Shihe Er pinch Fu Jin, the emperor's eighth son Yonggan's biological mother Sai Mu Ken Qian'e pinch Fu Jin, the emperor's sixth son QiShou's biological mother Tang Fujin, the emperor's seventh son Longxi's mother Niu Fujin, these four concubines were given the title of Fu Jin because of the birth of the prince, of which the pen Shihe forehead pinch Fu Jin is what we are talking about.
Regarding the family lineage of Concubine Bashi, there is no record in the historical records, and it is speculated that it should be a clothed woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her identity was that of a palace maid at first. At that time, Shunzhi was not yet married, and naturally had more contact with the palace women such as BaShi, so these palace women also became the enlightenment teachers of the young Tianzi, and they were the first women to have relations with the Tianzi.
In November of the eighth year of Shunzhi, that is, the third month after Shunzhi's marriage, Baba took the lead in giving birth to a child for Shunzhi, that is, the emperor's eldest son Niu Niu, which was Shunzhi's first child, which was naturally of great significance, however, what people did not expect was that the emperor's eldest son only lived for three months before dying. However, after that, Ba Shi was still favored, and she gave birth to the third daughter of the emperor and the fifth daughter of the emperor, and it was with these three children that Ba Shi became the concubine who gave birth to the most children for Shunzhi, and there was no one.
In fact, the favor of the Ba clan also has a certain political background, at that time the Harem of the Great Qing Dynasty was the son of a Mongolian woman, and Shunzhi was seriously dissatisfied with this arrangement of his mother Xiaozhuang, but it was not easy to directly resign, so most of the concubines who Shunzhi usually summoned were some concubines with lower status, and even some palace women. Until the appearance of a woman, she is Dong Efei.
The appearance of Dong Efei made Shunzhi completely abandon the "lustful" habits of his early years, and he was bent on pampering Dong Efei, even a woman like Ba Shi who had once been favored was difficult to get Shunzhi's favor, And Ba Shi fell out of favor from then on, coupled with the premature death of the third daughter of the Emperor and the fifth daughter of the Emperor, Ba Shi completely fell into a "lonely family", but she was powerless to change her fate, even if she had given birth to three children to Tianzi.
Regarding the end of Bashi, the historical records do not record, and the historical records do not record when this woman died, we only know that she was buried in Xiaodongling after her death. In addition, another title of The Bashi pen Shihe Forehead Pinch Fu Jin, and some experts are very puzzled, "Forehead Pinch" in Manchu is the meaning of mother, so what does "Pen Shih" mean? Whether it is Bashi's last name or her name has always been a mystery.
