In the Qing Dynasty, the concubines of Nurhaci and Emperor Taiji did not have Han women entering the palace. For a long time, everyone believed that the Manchus and Han Dynasties prohibited intermarriage, but this understanding was not correct, and before entering the customs, as early as the fifth year of Shunzhi, Shunzhi issued an edict allowing Manchu officials and people to marry, which was recorded in the annals of history. Therefore, his harem also married a Han woman's concubine.
According to the "Qing History Exploration", Kangxi's birth mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, Tong Jiashi, was an authentic Han woman, so it is not surprising that a Han woman entered the palace as a concubine.
In the late Kangxi period, almost all the people who were favored by Kangxi and gave birth to children for Kangxi were authentic Han Chinese, not Han military banners. Moreover, these Han women were all Jiangnan women, either brought back by the Southern Tour or given to him by Kangxi's confidante. However, the status of these Han women was not high, and even if they gave birth to a prince for Kangxi, they rarely had titles. For example, Shunyi Secret Concubine Wang, she is one of them.
Shunyi's secret concubine Wang Shi,the daughter of Zhixian Wang Guozheng (知县王正), was originally a Han woman from Suzhou and a cousin of Kangxi Fa Xiao Li Xu. Kangxi for more than twenty years (Kangxi twenty-three years or Kangxi twenty-eight years) into the palace, because of the beauty of the Wang family, but also with the unique tenderness of Jiangnan women, Kangxi was very fond of her, after entering the palace, she gave birth to three sons in succession, namely the fifteen brothers Yin, the sixteen brothers Yinlu and the eighteen brothers Yin.
However, even though he was deeply favored by Kangxi and had three sons in a row, The Wang clan, who had been in the palace for more than thirty years, had always been just a concubine with low status and no official title. It was not until the 57th year of the Kangxi Dynasty that the Wang clan received the highest title in the Kangxi Dynasty, and was given the title of concubine (fourth-class concubine) and became the head of the inner court.
However, the sons she gave birth to were still quite prominent, and the sixteenth Brother Yinlu was named the Prince of Heshuozhuang, inheriting the incense of the second generation of Zhuang Prince Boguoduo, who was hereditary, which is what we often call the Iron Hat King. From an early age, the Eighteenth Brother Yin was clever and clever, and was deeply favored by Kangxi, so he often took him with him.
In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Kangxi went out on a tour, and Yin Yuan, who was only nine years old, accompanied by the crown prince Yin Rong, who was full of displeasure with his brother, and when Kangxi learned of it, he loudly rebuked Yin Rong. Due to the great changes in the weather outside the Sai, Yin Yuan's young resistance was weak, on the way out, Yin Yuan fell ill, at first Kangxi thought it was just a small cold, and then the high fever has not receded, Kangxi is very anxious, personally to take care of Yin Yuan, and this Yin Rong actually looked happy, Kangxi announced that the crown prince Yin Rong was deposed.
On the same day that Yin Rong was deposed, the eighteenth brother Yin Died of Illness at the age of nine.
Faced with the death of his eldest son who was deposed without filial piety and the son born of laolai, Kangxi was deeply shocked in his heart and felt grief-stricken, and buried Yin Gong in the Garden of Jingling Concubines, which was the garden bed of the concubines of the Kangxi Emperor, originally called HuiFei Bed (because Hui Concubine was the first to be buried), Yongzheng Five Years honored as the Concubine Garden Bed, buried in the Kangxi Emperor's 48 concubines and 1 prince.
This prince is Yin Yuan, who was buried in the concubine garden after death, which is rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi's other princes who died early did not have this treatment, whether Kangxi was too partial to this son or other, we have no way of knowing, only Kangxi himself knows. Since then, no prince has been buried in the imperial tomb, and Yin Yuan has become the only prince in the Qing Dynasty to be buried in the imperial tomb.
