In the wild history rumors, among the many concubines in the kangxi emperor's harem, one of the concubines turned out to be his aunt, and kangxi married his aunt, which also became a historical strange story, in fact, the prototype of this so-called aunt was the first imperial concubine huifei of the Kangxi Emperor. There were many concubines after the Kangxi Emperor in his lifetime, only 65 of whom were famous, but there were not many women who could really mix with high positions during the Kangxi period, or who were personally posthumously posthumously honored as high concubines.

Women who can become high-ranking concubines are either born noble or have children, but the Kangxi Emperor's concubines, who were born in a peaceful manner, did not have children, and were even more nameless and nameless before they died, the Kangxi Emperor not only posthumously named her as a concubine, but also left two portraits, it should be noted that the Kangxi Emperor's Wen Concubine and Tong Jia Guifei and the Yongzheng Emperor's biological mother, Princess De, did not leave any portraits in the Kangxi Dynasty. Not only that, Princess Hui was always the first imperial concubine of the Kangxi Emperor in the official records and the ranking of sacrifices, so why did this early-dead imperial concubine get so favored by the Kangxi Emperor?

Huifei's surname in the early Qing Dynasty can be described as thunderous, that is, the Borjigit clan, is the national surname of the Yuan Dynasty, and Huifei's hometown is the Kangxi Emperor's grandmother Empress Xiaozhuangwen's maternal clan Horqin, Huifei this branch is a branch of Horqin, her father Ayuxi is only a third-class Taiji, on birth, Huifei is far inferior to the Xuanfei who entered the palace later, although they are all from the Horqin Borzigit clan, but Xuanfei is the daughter of the prince, and she is also a close niece of Empress Xiaozhuang.
Princess Hui's great-grandfather was Hongguoer, the king of the first Bingtu County, and Hongguoer was Empress Xiaoduanwen's uncle and Empress Xiaozhuang's uncle, so from her grandmother Empress Xiaozhuang, Huifei was a distant cousin of the Kangxi Emperor, which should be the origin of the rumor that the so-called Kangxi Emperor married his aunt, after all, the aunt was the same surname, naturally incest, which was despised by people, and Huifei's cousin, who was separated by several generations, was no longer a blood relative for the royal family, comparatively speaking, Xuanfei was the cousin of the Kangxi Emperor, and the blood was much closer than that of Huifei.
Ministry of Rites: The Borjijin clan is the daughter of the third-class Taiji Ayuxi, the son of the son of Eji Yin, the son of Eji, the king of Horqin Bingtu County. Elected to the palace to stay in the year. Fang wants to be canonized. Now he is dead. Deep condolences from the heart. It is advisable to posthumously honor her title as a concubine and to perform etiquette. Erbu is the one who observes the rules. Consultation on the Ministry of Seeking Permission. Posthumously honored as Princess Hui. - Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty
Princess Hui's year of birth is unknown, but it is known that she died on April 12, the ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when the Kangxi Emperor was 17 years old and already had several children. The so-called "waiting for the year" refers to waiting for a woman to grow up and marry her.

From the edict of the Kangxi Emperor, it can be seen that Huifei has long been admitted to the palace, only waiting for her to become an adult canonized as a concubine, but when she was about to be canonized, Huifei died, indicating that at that time, Huifei was about to become an adult or had just come of age, in the early Qing Dynasty, a woman's twelve or thirteen years old could basically be regarded as an adult, but with the deepening of Sinicization, this age was also slightly increased, so it is estimated that Huifei should be 14-18 years old when she died.
Princess Hui stayed in the palace in her early years, and should be in a state of no name and no points, popularly speaking, it is a child bridesmaid, although she is actually an emperor's woman, but her name is undecided. Judging from the origin of Concubine Hui, although it is not very high, it should also be given to the Kangxi Emperor by Horqin in order to maintain the relationship between the Qing court and the tribe, which is also evidenced by the fact that the father of Princess Hui was cited in a large circle from the Kangxi Emperor's edict, and in the early years of kangxi, the importance of mongolia's relationship with the Qing court has decreased a lot, so the harem of the Kangxi Emperor did not have as many Mongolian concubines as the harem of his father.

At that time, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng (孝庄) and Empress Renxian (孝惠) were both born in Horqin, and the princesses and princes also had many marriages with Mongolia, and the relationship between the Qing court and Mongolia was already very strong, and the concubines who were not born high were only icing on the cake.
Huifei in history record very little, almost no involve her character, life introduction, to understand what kind of person she is, but also through the title of Huifei can be glimpsed, the word "Hui", Chinese means "smart, wise", Manchu means "smart, wise, wise", it can be seen that the Kangxi Emperor's impression of this distant cousin is quite good. The history books record that many concubines died early in the early harem of the Kangxi Emperor, but none of them were posthumously sealed, and Concubine Hui was able to get the posthumous title, first, she should indeed be very loved by the Kangxi Emperor, and second, she also took care of Horqin.

In his lifetime, the Kangxi Emperor successively created (including posthumously) three empresses, one imperial concubine (Tong Jiashi, later Jin Feng Empress), three noble concubines (including Tong Jiashi, later Jin Fenghuang Imperial Concubines and Empresses), fourteen concubines (including Niu Hulu Clan Jinfeng Empress, Xiao Niu Hulu Clan, Tong Jia Clan Jin Feng Guifei Guifei), that is to say, the Kangxi Emperor's personal titles (including posthumous titles) only 16 high-ranking concubines:

Wife: Former Empress Xiaoxiao of the Hesheli clan, empress dowager Empress Xiaozhao (consort Ofe Jin), empress dowager of the later Empress Xiaoyiren (the first noble concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty, imperial concubine)
Side chambers: Wen Concubine Niu Hu Lu Clan (Empress Xiaozhao's sister, sealed by Concubine Jin), Noble Concubine Tong Jia (Empress Xiaoyi's sister, sealed by Concubine Jin), HuiFei Borjigit Clan (first concubine, posthumously), Huifei Nala Clan, YiFei GuoLuoluo Clan, Defei Wuya Clan, RongFei Ma Jia Clan, Pingfei Hesheli Clan (Empress Renxiao's sister), Minfei Zhangjia Clan (posthumously), Liangfei Wei Clan, Xuanfei Borjigit Clan, Chengfei Dai Jia Clan, and Concubine Guarjia Clan.
Judging from the kangxi emperor's decree, the Kangxi Emperor had already decided to make the Borjigit clan a concubine, just at this time she died, so she could only posthumously, this year was the ninth year of Kangxi, at the same time, the other concubines of the Kangxi Emperor were not canonized, six years later, the Niu Hulu clan who was appointed as the empress entered the palace, was crowned as a concubine, Huiyi and others were promoted to concubines, and another year passed, Niu Hulu was promoted to empress, Tong Jia was crowned as a noble concubine, and after another three years, the famous fourth concubine of the Kangxi Emperor, Hui Yi Derong, was promoted from the concubine to a concubine. At this time, eleven years had passed since Princess Hui's death.
A glimpse of the Korqin steppe
It is difficult to imagine why the Kangxi Emperor, a monarch who was extremely cautious about the Jin Dynasty, favored Concubine Hui so much, at that time, the Ma Jia (Rong), Nala (Hui) and so on had already given birth to several children for the Kangxi Emperor, but the Kangxi Emperor did not intend to canonize them, but was particularly favored by this distant cousin, and jumped to a concubine in the case of childlessness and no daughters.
First of all, Princess Hui's birth is there, and Horqin may not attach great importance to it;
Secondly, compared with the xuanfei who was born far better than Huifei later, it can also be known that Xuanfei Kangxi entered the palace in sixteen years, enjoyed the treatment of concubines, and was only crowned as a concubine ten years later, even if Huifei was a concubine when the Kangxi Emperor entered the palace at the time of the big wedding, she only entered the palace for three years, and Huifei was only an adult, and the Kangxi Emperor could not wait to make her a concubine, which showed that the Kangxi Emperor was quite fond of Huifei at that time. Contact HuiFei is a "child bridesmaid", and the two of them may belong to the relationship of Qingmei Bamboo Horse.
In the second year of Qianlong's reign, the Jingfei Garden Sleeping Hall was twice enlarged with the addition of the sleeping room and the order of the concubines' gods: Feng'an Wen and Guifei were located on the left in the middle of the shrine, the Huifei god was on the right, the Huifei god was on the left, and the Yifei god was on the right. - "Rules and Regulations of the Great Qing Dynasty"
Twenty years after Kangxi, the Jingling Concubine Garden Bed was completed, the Kangxi Emperor chose the most honorable position in the garden bed for her, from the current situation, the three most honorable positions in the Concubine Garden Bed were buried with HuiFei, Mi Concubine, and Wen Concubine, of which Hui Fei and Wen Concubine Guifei were the Kangxi Emperor's personal choice of Jidi, and the Secret Concubine was buried during the Qianlong period, from the arrangement of the Kangxi Emperor, the most honorable position between Hui Fei and Wen Qi Guifei should be left by the Kangxi Emperor to the future noble concubines and imperial concubines, but who knew that the Qianlong Emperor built a double concubine garden bed for Tong Jia Guifei. So he gave that position to the concubine who was not eligible to be buried there. In Kang Yongqian's official records, the most honorable of the concubines' garden beds were Wen Shu Guifei and Hui Concubine.
Huifei, Huifei, Yifei, Rongfei, Pingfei, Liangfei, Xuanfei, Chengfei, Shunyi Mifei, Chunyu Qinfei, Dingfei. - "The Canon of the Great Qing Dynasty"
When Princess Hui was buried, the famous fourth concubine Hui Yi Derong had already been born, but the Kangxi Emperor still chose a best place for Hui Concubine, which showed that eleven years after her death, the Kangxi Emperor still missed her.

Not only that, in the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian, there were constantly the death of the Kangxi Emperor's imperial concubines, and in the sacrifice and ranking, Huifei was the deserved first, even if the noble Concubine Ping and the eight brothers' biological mother Liangfei died later, the Kangxi Emperor never changed the ordering of Huifei. The Kangxi Emperor was extremely respectful and humble in his life, and the harem order was very strict, like the four concubines of Hui Yi Derong, completely arranged according to their weight in the heart of the Kangxi Emperor, but Huifei always occupied the top of the list of imperial concubines, which showed that the position of Huifei in the heart of the Kangxi Emperor had never changed.
This first concubine was not only because she was the first imperial concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty, but also because she was the first concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty to have an actual name. The white moonlight of the Kangxi Emperor's life was the first wife of the Renxiao Empress Hesheli, just as the White Moonlight of the Qianlong Emperor was the Empress Xiaoxian, and the position of the Concubine Hui in the heart of the Kangxi Emperor may be the same as that of the Concubine Huixian in the heart of the Qianlong Emperor.

If all of the above is not enough to support the assertion that Huifei was the first concubine in the heart of the Kangxi Emperor, then another detail also reveals this, according to the "ShouHuang Emperor's Hall of Honor, Sacred Rong Huang Book", of the 65 concubines of the Kangxi Emperor, a total of 8 have portraits, of which the imperial dress of the Yongzheng Emperor's biological mother Wu Yashi is obviously painted by the Yongzheng Emperor after he ascended the throne.
That is to say, during the Kangxi Dynasty, the Shou Imperial Palace only collected the portraits of 7 kangxi empresses, these concubines were Empress Xiaochengren Officiation Hesheli, Empress Xiaozhaoren, Princess Borjigit, Concubine Daijia, Concubine Guarjia, Duan Concubine and Concubine An, and even Wen Concubine, Tong Jiagui and the much-loved Concubine Yi did not have a portrait.
In addition to the two empresses with many portraits, of the remaining five concubines, only HuiFei had two portraits, one was "Huifei Royal Appearance", one was "Huifei Royal Appearance Bust", and the other four had only one portrait, because Huifei had not been officially canonized before her death, which was equivalent to no official title, but the Kangxi Emperor still ordered people to paint her portraits according to the concubine's etiquette, which is very telling.
The portrait of HuiFei is the earliest surviving portrait of a concubine after the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs, from this portrait, Huifei is a dignified and gentle woman, although she is only a teenager, but it seems to be very mature, which should have a lot to do with her physical fitness from the steppe.

There were many women in the life of the Kangxi Emperor, whether it was the White Moonlight Yuanhou Hesheli clan, or the cousin Tong Jiashi, or the Yi concubine Guo Luoluoshi who later favored the harem, perhaps they all had an exclusive position in the heart of the Kangxi Emperor, although Huifei died early, but the Kangxi Emperor never forgot her, she had long been close to the water tower platform first, occupying the position second only to the Herschel clan, with a commonly used sentiment in the novel to make a summary, perhaps a certain position in the heart was given to a person, even if the latecomer could not enter no matter how good.
