A few years ago, there was a TV series about the Kangxi Emperor's private visit to Weifu, when he met a folk girl Li Yihuan in the folk, and the two were in contact with each other, resulting in a love story.
Many people think that this love story is fictional, but in fact, Li Yihuan does have his own person.
This woman was also the head of Kangxi's seven concubines, but it was different from the TV series.
This woman is not an ordinary woman of the people, but was born in the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, and her grandfather once made great achievements when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
Later, in order to honor her grandfather, the Qing imperial family promoted her grandfather to a member of the imperial court.
Li Yihuan in the play is actually An Concubine.
In the fourth year of Kangxi, in order to adequate the harem, a large-scale draft was carried out, and all the women of the right age in the Eight Banners and the waiting for the word were required to participate in the draft, so An Concubine naturally became a showgirl.
Because his grandfather had made great achievements and had considerable prestige in the imperial court, An Concubine was selected very smoothly in this draft.
During the Kangxi period, the system of all the concubines in the harem was not very perfect, except for the empress who had a title, the other concubines were called concubines, so this time the draft was also the first large-scale concubine in the four years of Kangxi.
Concubine An was born noble and had a beautiful appearance, and naturally became a very favored concubine of Kangxi, and the Kangxi Emperor liked to pay private visits, and sometimes took Concubine An out, so Concubine An's status in the palace at that time was far greater than that of other concubines.
Later, in the sixteenth year of Kangxi, because the Kangxi Emperor coordinated the overall situation and completely gained the upper hand in the Three Domains, he was very happy, so he planned to make the harem also happy.
At this time, some people proposed that the concubine system of the harem should also be improved, so Kangxi crowned two empresses, and also crowned seven concubines, of which the most favored concubine, An Concubine, ranked first among the seven concubines.
However, what is surprising is that just after the end of this concubine, the records of An Concubine in the history books are completely gone, and even all the historical materials related to the Qing Dynasty have no relevant records of An Concubine, even the time of death, and the burial cemetery, can not be examined, obviously disappeared for no reason, what is the reason for this?
Later, historians specifically read a large number of history books, and finally did not come to a conclusion, but presumably only the Kangxi Emperor himself knew the most about the real history.
Regarding the disappearance of Concubine An, some historians have also proposed that the sudden disappearance of concubines in the general harem must be because they made some mistakes and were deposed in the end, which is not recorded at all.
Obviously, this statement has a certain scientific basis, I think that in that year, the second empress of the Qianlong Emperor, Uranara, because of disagreement with the emperor, finally led to the abolition, although you are the empress of a country, but there are only a few records of this empress in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
It can be seen from this that the disappearance of An Concubine is most likely due to some wrongdoing, in fact, in addition to An Concubine, the concubines who are also among the seven concubines also disappeared for no reason like An Concubine.
Presumably, there was a grudge between the two of them, which caused the Kangxi Emperor to be annoyed, not only to impose heavy punishments, but also to erase the two concubines in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
