Chen, a woman born during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, her story is like a delicate picture, slowly unfolding in the long river of history. In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, an ordinary but warm family ushered in a new life, and the birth of the Chen family brought infinite joy and hope to the family. Although the family background is not prominent, the Chen family's conditions are considered to be above average in the local area, which provides a relatively favorable environment for the Chen family to grow.
Chen's father, Chen Yuqing, was a knowledgeable reader. He is well aware of the importance of education for a person's growth, so he began to give her a strict family education when she was a child. Chen Yuqing not only taught Chen's traditional Confucian classics, such as "Analects" and "Mencius", but also paid attention to cultivating her literary literacy, allowing her to familiarize herself with literary works such as "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci", so that she had a deep understanding and perception of literature and art since she was a child.
During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the banquet of the court was a stage to show talent and beauty, especially for young women, it was not only an opportunity to socialize, but also an opportunity to change their fate. In 1703, the 13-year-old Chen was captured by the gaze of Emperor Kangxi on this stage.
At that time, Chan had already been betrothed to a prince of Baylor, and according to the social customs of the time, her fate seemed to have been decided. However, the wheel of fate always surprises. At a grand banquet, Chen deeply attracted the attention of Emperor Kangxi with her otherworldly temperament and talented performance. She not only showed her talent in poetry and songs, but also showed extraordinary talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her manners are elegant, her speech is appropriate, and her every movement reveals a good upbringing and deep cultural heritage.
Emperor Kangxi, as the emperor at that time, had supreme authority in his proposals. When he took a fancy to the Chen family and proposed to include her in the harem, even the prince of Baylor, who had already been married, could not resist the emperor's will. In those days, the emperor's favor was a supreme honor and an opportunity that many women dreamed of. Although Chen was from an ordinary background, her talent and beauty made her stand out among many women and became a bright pearl in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi.
After entering the harem, Chen did not lose himself because of the change in environment. She is well aware of the complexity and cruelty of the harem, so she works harder to learn and improve herself. Not only did she continue her studies in literature and art, but she also began to learn court etiquette and politics in order to better adapt to life in the harem. Her ingenuity and diligent study gradually stabilized her position in the harem and gradually won the favor of Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi's favor for the Chen family was not only because of her beauty and talent, but also because of her wisdom and insight. In the court, Chen often provided political advice and insights to Emperor Kangxi, and her unique insights and thoughtful suggestions solved many problems for Emperor Kangxi. Her talent and wisdom made her occupy an important position in the heart of Emperor Kangxi.
However, the life of the harem is not only about favor and glory, but also about endless strife and calculation. The Chen clan also faced competition and jealousy from other concubines in the harem. She must always be vigilant and skillfully manage her relationships with other concubines, while also maintaining her dignity and status. In the process, Chan showed her wits and skill and managed to gain a firm foothold in the harem.
Chan's story is a story of opportunity, wisdom and courage. With her talent and wisdom, she won the favor of the emperor and changed her fate. Her story not only allows us to see how a woman has won respect and status through her own efforts and talents in feudal society, but also shows us how a woman shows her wisdom and courage in the face of difficulties and challenges. Chen's life is a legend and a revelation, telling us that no matter what kind of environment we are in, we must adhere to our ideals and pursuits, and use our talents and wisdom to create our own life.
In the 50th year of Kangxi, that is, when she was 21 years old, Chen ushered in a major turning point in her life - she gave birth to the prince Yinxi. This year, for Chen, is not only a milestone in her personal life, but also an important moment in the inheritance of the royal blood of the Qing Dynasty. Yinxi's birth not only brought Chen the glory of being a mother, but also invisibly enhanced her status and influence in the harem.
In that era, the fertility of the women in the harem, especially the concubines, was directly related to their status in the palace and their future security. Chen's pregnancy and childbirth are undoubtedly an affirmation of her personal worth. During her pregnancy, Chen received special care and favor from Emperor Kangxi, and her life was taken care of more meticulously, and all aspects of diet, daily life, and medical treatment were carefully arranged.
At the same time, Chen's pregnancy also caused her a lot of pressure. Competition and struggle in the harem were ubiquitous, and the other concubines were both envious and jealous of Chen's pregnancy, and some of them might resort to various means to influence Chen's pregnancy and childbirth. Chan must always be vigilant, not only to protect himself and his unborn child, but also to deal with calculations and traps that may come from other concubines.
At the same time that Chen was pregnant, the concubine of Prince Yong Yinzhen also gave birth to a prince named Hongli, who later became Emperor Qianlong. The birth of these two princes not only brought joy to Emperor Kangxi, but also added new vitality to the royal blood of the Qing Dynasty. The concubines of Chen and Yinzhen, because of the princes they gave birth to, their status and influence in the harem have improved.
Yinxi's birth was a leap in life for Chen. She went from an ordinary concubine to the mother of a prince, which was a great honor in feudal society. She also put a lot of effort into Yinxi's expectations and education. Chen hoped that Yinxi would become a talented, virtuous, and wise person who would be able to gain a foothold in the future court life.
In educating Yinxi, Chan not only imparted knowledge of literature and art, but also paid more attention to cultivating his character and wisdom. She hopes that Yinxi can inherit Emperor Kangxi's concept of governing the country and become a person who can contribute to the country and the nation. Under Chen's careful education, Yinxi gradually grew into a talented and virtuous prince.
However, Chan is also well aware that life in the harem is full of variables and uncertainties. She must always be ready for any eventuality and protect herself and Yinxi. In the process, Chan shows her wisdom and courage not only to deal with the struggles and rivalries in the harem, but also to pave the way for Yinxi's future.
Chan's story is a story of maternal love, wisdom and courage. She used her maternal love and wisdom to provide a solid foundation for Yinxi's growth, and at the same time won a place for herself and Yinxi in the harem. Her story not only shows us a mother's expectations and dedication to her children, but also shows us how a woman shows her wisdom and courage in the face of difficulties and challenges. Chen's life is a legend and a revelation, telling us that no matter what kind of environment we are in, we must adhere to our ideals and pursuits, and use maternal love and wisdom to create our own life.
After Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Chen's fate changed again. As the concubine of Emperor Kangxi, she was honored by the new emperor and was given the title of "Imperial Examination Noble". This title is not only a recognition of her personal character and contributions, but also a foreshadowing of her son Yinxi's future status. In feudal society, honorific title is an extremely high honor, which represents the recognition and respect of the royal family for the individual.
Chen's honorific title made her position in the harem more stable. Her life has been better secured, and at the same time, it has also provided more development opportunities for her son Yinxi. As the son of the Chen family, Yinxi naturally received the attention and cultivation of Emperor Yongzheng. Under the care of Emperor Yongzheng, Yinxi received a good education and training, and gradually grew into a talented and capable prince.
After Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne, the honor of the Chen family was further enhanced, and he was respected as the "Imperial Ancestor Xi Concubine". This award is not only a reaffirmation of Chen's personal character and contributions, but also a reward for her life's hard work. The title of "Imperial Ancestor Xi Concubine" brought Chen's status in the harem to its peak, and her influence and prestige also reached its highest point.
However, despite the honorific and glorious status of Chan, her life did not get any easier because of it. Life in the harem is still full of stress and challenges, and she needs to be constantly vigilant and ready for all kinds of eventualities. At the same time, she also needs to continue to pave the way for her son Yinxi's future and ensure that he can gain a foothold in the court.
Chen and his son Yinxi are both 48 years old, which is a touching fact. In those days, 48 was not considered a long life, but it was not a short life either. Chen's life can be said to be full of twists and turns and challenges. From an ordinary woman, to becoming the concubine of Emperor Kangxi, and then to being honored as the imperial examination nobleman and the imperial ancestor Xi concubine, her life has experienced a transformation from ordinary to glorious.
Chen's death is undoubtedly a huge blow to Yinxi. As her son, Yinxi lost his mother's protection and guidance, and he had to face the challenges and pressures of the court alone. However, Chen's education and nurturing of Yinxi during his lifetime laid a solid foundation for his future development. Yinxi inherited his mother's talent and wisdom, and he showed his abilities and charms in the court.

After Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he gave Yinxi a very high evaluation of his talent and ability. In recognition of his talent and contributions, Emperor Qianlong named him the King of Shenjun, a title that was not only a recognition of Yinxi's personal ability, but also a kind of honor for his mother Chen. The title of King Shenjun made Yinxi's position in the royal family more stable, and his power and influence also increased.
In addition to the title, Yinxi was also appointed by Emperor Qianlong as the commander of the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner, an important military position responsible for managing the military and administrative affairs of the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner. In this position, Yinxi demonstrated his leadership skills and military wisdom, and his rigorous management style and impartial principles won the respect and trust of the soldiers.
In addition to the position of the commander of the White Flag of Manchuria, Yinxi also served as the president of the Jade Museum. The Jade Pavilion was the Qing Dynasty institution responsible for compiling the royal family tree, and the position of president was of great significance for maintaining the purity of the royal blood and recording the history of the royal family. In this position, Yinxi not only needs to have profound historical knowledge and document compilation ability, but also needs to have a rigorous work attitude and a high sense of responsibility. Yinxi's performance in this position was highly praised by Emperor Qianlong and the imperial court.

After Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, in the face of the harem and many heirs left by Emperor Kangxi, his attitude was quite cautious and differentiated. Among Emperor Kangxi's favorite concubines, some received special attention from Emperor Yongzheng because of the performance of their heirs in the battle for succession. For the mothers of those princes who were prominent or ambitious in the battle for succession, Emperor Yongzheng did not give them the honorific titles they deserved, but adopted a stricter and more conservative attitude.
Emperor Yongzheng's approach, on the one hand, was out of consideration for the stability of power. In the later years of Emperor Kangxi, the princes launched a fierce struggle for the throne, which not only affected the ministers of the court, but also affected the peace of the harem. After Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, in order to consolidate his dominance, he had to suppress and restrict those princes and their mothers who might pose a threat to him.
On the other hand, this practice of Emperor Yongzheng was also to maintain the legitimacy and purity of the imperial family. In feudal society, the succession to the throne was a very serious and important issue, and any factors that might affect the succession to the throne had to be strictly controlled. For the mothers of princes who did not perform well or were ambitious in the battle for succession, Emperor Yongzheng did not give them the honorific titles they deserved, believing that their presence might pose a threat to the legitimacy and purity of the imperial family.
However, this practice of Emperor Yongzheng also caused some controversy and dissatisfaction. In the harem, the unhonored concubines and their heirs felt unfair and wronged. They believe that they are also the bloodline of Emperor Kangxi and should be given the respect and status they deserve. This dissatisfaction and controversy gradually spread in the harem, and it also posed a certain pressure on the rule of Emperor Yongzheng.
In dealing with these issues, Emperor Yongzheng showed his wisdom and skill. He did not simply suppress all the favored concubines and heirs who were not honored, but adopted a more flexible and prudent strategy. For those mothers of princes who behaved well and did not participate in the battle for succession, Emperor Yongzheng gave them certain honorifies and preferential treatment to show respect and recognition for them.
At the same time, Emperor Yongzheng also strengthened the management of the harem and strictly regulated the behavior and order of the harem. He demanded that the concubines in the harem strictly abide by court etiquette, not to participate in political struggles, and not to interfere in court affairs. Through these measures, Emperor Yongzheng successfully maintained the stability and order of the harem and laid a solid foundation for his rule.
Emperor Yongzheng's attitude towards Kangxi's favorite concubine is a complex and delicate issue. In doing so, he reflected not only his consideration for the stability of power, but also his maintenance of the legitimacy and purity of the royal family. At the same time, this practice of his also caused some controversy and dissatisfaction, and posed a certain pressure on the stability and order of the harem. However, through wisdom and skill, Emperor Yongzheng successfully dealt with these issues and maintained the stability and order of the imperial family.
