Concubine Yi's surname was Guo Luoluoshi, a Manchurian yellow flag person, and her father was a consul stationed in Shengjing, and her status was not low. Guo Luoluo was canonized in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when the Kangxi Emperor was twenty-four years old, and Guo Luoluo was favored by the Kangxi Emperor and was crowned "Yi Concubine". Historical records show that Kangxi's feelings for Concubine Yi were extraordinary, "the holy ancestors loved her very much" and "cared for her the most", which all showed that in the kangxi emperor's heart, Guo Luoluo's status was extraordinary.
Concubine Yi's two canonizations were with the public, not alone. In the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the daughter of Niu Bilong, was crowned as a successor, which was later known as "Empress Xiaozhaoren", that is, the sister of the mother of the emperor's tenth son, Yin, Wen Guifei. At the same time as the empress, several concubines were also given the title of Jin, and it was this time that Guo Luoluoshi was crowned as "Yi Concubine". Four years later, In the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the noble concubine Tong Jia was crowned as an imperial concubine. At the same time, Yi Concubine, along with the concubines Hui, De, and Rong Concubines, who were also concubines, was promoted to concubine and became "Yi Concubines", and these four were later called "Four Concubines".
Tong Jia was the daughter of Tong Guowei, the niece of Empress Xiaokangzhang of Shizu, and the cousin of Kangxi. Tong Jia was crowned empress dowager, and eight years later she was made empress when she was in a hurry, the third empress of Kangxi, and later known as "Empress Xiaoyiren". Empress Xiaoyiren was Yongzheng's adoptive mother during the imperial period. After Empress Xiaoyiren's death, her husband, the Kangxi Emperor, wrote a poem to mourn. After her adopted son Yin Chan ascended the throne, she was given a courtesy name, and both the Qianlong Dynasty and the Jiaqing Dynasty added a courtesy name to Empress Xiaoyiren. Empress Xiaoyiren also had a younger sister in the palace, and after her sister's death, she was registered as a noble concubine, and Yongzheng was honored as "Imperial Noble Concubine of the Imperial Examination" after succeeding to the throne, and Qianlong was also honored as "Imperial Ancestor Shouqi Emperor Noble Concubine", and Yongzheng and Qianlong recognized her qualifications as a mother and ancestor.
Until the end of Kangxi's life, Concubine Yi's position in the palace was long-lasting. In the fifty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Xianglan Temple, which was built for pardon, was built, and in front of the temple there was a sacred inscription of the imperial book", "Civilian officials get off the palanquin, and military attaches get off their horses". The temple opens three times a year: the Kangxi Emperor's Longevity Festival, the Buddha's Birthday, and once the Qianqiu Festival of Yifei. This kind of favor did not even have the noble concubine Tong Jiashi. However, after the death of the Kangxi Emperor, The status of Concubine Yi took a sharp turn for the worse. On November 29, 61, during the funeral of the Kangxi Emperor, the new emperor Yin Chan had just nine days after he ascended the throne, and the undead Concubine Yi was hit hard by the new emperor from his sons. When offering sacrifices to the Kangxi Emperor's spirit, Concubine Yi may have always been pampered, and she was sick and rushed in front of her in a soft palanquin carried by four people, probably before the Kangxi Emperor was also accustomed to surpassing other concubines, so she forgot that she had committed a big taboo and even preempted the new emperor's birth mother, Wu Yashi, who had been promoted to the throne.
For this form of Concubine Yi, the Yongzheng Emperor mercilessly reprimanded Concubine Yi's eunuchs, which was tantamount to giving Concubine Yi a great loss of face. It is also an opportunity to give a warning to those who are close to Yifei. Who? Concubine Yi's son, Yin Yu, the ninth son of the Kangxi Emperor. Yin Yu was a political enemy of the Yongzheng Emperor during the conquest of the yongzheng dynasty, and was a major fetter of the new Yongzheng dynasty. And how could Concubine Yi, as Yin Yu's mother, be favored by the Kangxi Dynasty again? It is not necessarily that the Empress Wu Ya clan cannot tolerate her, nor is it necessarily that YongZhengfei cannot tolerate her, the key is that she is Yin Yu's biological mother.
Princess Yi gave birth to three sons: Yin Qi, the fifth son of the Emperor in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Yin Yu, the ninth son of the Emperor in the twenty-second year of kangxi, and Yin Yu, the eleventh son of the Emperor in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi. Yin Yu died prematurely, and Yin Qi did not attract YongZheng's dislike like Yin Yu. Both Kangxi and Yongzheng believed that Yin Qi was kind and peaceful, dun hou and humble, and Yin Qi also lived peacefully and peacefully until Yongzheng ten years. But Yin Qi's mother's brother Yin Yu was very different.
As early as the late Kangxi Dynasty, Yin Yu and the eighth son of the Emperor, Yin Yu, formed a clique to seize the concubine, and Yin Chan, who was still the crown prince at the time, was a political enemy, so he was deeply tabooed by Yongzheng. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, Yin Yu still opposed Yongzheng everywhere, and often complained a lot behind his back. Yin Yu was eventually removed from the clan by Yongzheng and renamed "Seth Hei" and died in seclusion.
Although the relationship between Concubine Yi and Yongzheng was not as bad as that between Yin Yu and Yongzheng, Yongzheng refused to recognize her maternal status to her, and was not respected in the Yongzheng Dynasty and beyond. Concubine Yi's three sons, Yin Yu died prematurely, Yin Yu died, and Yin Qi, who took her to the palace to serve, also died in front of Concubine Yi. In the second year of Yin Qi's death, Concubine Yi also died in Yin Qi's Prince Heng's palace and was buried in the concubine garden of the Kangxi Jingling Tomb.
