In the ancient harem, a person's status symbolized her power, especially when everyone was worshipping the same person, and this power would eventually be reflected in the love they received. The more you get the emperor's love, the more attention you pay, and the higher your status.
Kangxi was the second emperor after the Entry of the Qing Dynasty, known as the "Qing Shengzu", who did a lot of things during his reign, and was even known as the First Emperor of the Ages. Similarly, there were many beauties in Kangxi's harem, including an empress named Tong Jiashi, who only became an empress for one day.
Tong Jiashi, also known as Empress Xiaoyiren, was a Manchurian with a yellow flag and the last empress of the Kangxi Emperor to be personally crowned. According to such a relationship, Tong Jiashi should have had a happy and happy life, she had a husband who was called "Emperor of the Ages" and loved her very much, and the second half of her life only needed to enjoy her old age in peace.
However, unfortunate things happen again and again, for a woman, one of the happiest things in life is to have a lovely child with her husband who loves herself, Tong Jiashi was already about to realize this wish, she and Kangxi gave birth to the Eighth Daughter of the Emperor, although not a son, but also the crystallization of their love, she and Kangxi are very happy, but happiness and misfortune are often easy to transform in an instant, the Eighth Daughter of the Emperor died shortly after birth, this matter was a great blow to tong Jiashi, since then, Tong Jiashi was depressed all day and gradually fell ill.
In fact, there is also a reason for the early death of the eighth daughter of the emperor, a large part of which is that the marriage of the two close relatives makes the child appear a certain congenital disease. Tong Jia's father Tong Guowei and Kangxi's birth mother is a sister-brother relationship, that is to say, Tong Jia and Kangxi are cousins, and the relationship between the two is also very close in blood, so children are also prone to genetic diseases due to the marriage of close relatives. This cannot be said to be a natural disaster, nor can it be said to be a man-made disaster, but can only warn future generations not to marry close relatives, the risk is very large.
Tong Jiashi was well-educated since childhood, and until later, he assisted the Kangxi Emperor in governing the harem in an orderly manner, because she did not have her own biological children, so she was very close to the children in the palace, treating them all as her own children, and there was no desire to fight in it, saving the Kangxi Emperor a lot of trouble in the previous dynasty.
This is also one of the reasons why When Tong Jiashi fell ill, Kangxi was very anxious. A good wife is not only her own spiritual partner, but also a booster of her own career. When Tong Jia was seriously ill, Kangxi was very worried about Tong Jia's condition, and even crowned her as empress when she was terminally ill, with the purpose of chong xi and hoping that she would get rid of the disease.
Although Tong Jia had already assumed the responsibility of empress, after all, this was the emperor's personal canonization, and she was a righteous empress. Unfortunately, on the second day of his canonization, Tong Jiashi died of illness. The seal did not keep her life, but I believe that she should be very pleased under the Nine Springs.
