During the Qing Dynasty, there were always some sister flowers in the harems of successive emperors, such as Concubines chen and Concubine Zhuang of the Emperor Taiji Harem, Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen of the Guangxu Harem, and even four pairs of sister flowers appeared in the Kangxi Harem. In fact, in the harem of the Shunzhi Emperor, there are also a pair of sisters, the sister is Empress Xiaohuizhang, and the younger sister is the Shuhui Concubine we are going to talk about today.

Princess Shuhui was the daughter of a nobleman from the Mongolian Horqin Clan, and her father was the Duke of the Horqin Clan, In fact, this Lady Shuhui was related to a major figure in the court, and this big figure was Empress Xiaozhuang. He was the son of Empress Xiaozhuang's second brother Chahan, that is, he was the nephew of Empress Xiaozhuang,therefore, this Concubine Shuhui was Xiaozhuang's niece.
Moreover, Princess Shuhui's father, Nao Erji, also married the seventh daughter of Abatai (Nurhaci's son), but at that time, Nao Erji sent emissaries to Shengjing to give the dowry, but the dowry was not good at all, and the attitude of the emissaries sent was also very arrogant, which made Huang Taiji very angry, and Huang Taiji beat up the emissaries.
In August of the tenth year of Shunzhi, the Shunzhi Emperor ordered that Empress Borjigit be deposed and demoted to Concubine Jing, who was Shuhui's cousin. After the Borjigit clan was abolished, in order to appease the "wounded" Horqin, the Qing court decided to take the daughter of Naoerji from the same family to the imperial palace, or a pair of sisters.

In May of the eleventh year of Shunzhi, the Duke of Zhenguo sent his two daughters to the Forbidden City, and the two were initially named Fujin (Note: only Dong Efei and the deposed Empress Jingfei were concubines in the Shunzhi Dynasty), and then the sister's sister was made empress, and she was Empress Xiaohuizhang.
As we said earlier, the Shunzhi Emperor did not like these noble-born Mongol concubines at all, preferring to be close to some low-ranking concubines, especially after Dong Efei entered the palace, these Mongolian concubines simply became decorations, of course, including Shuhui concubines of the Fujin rank.
Note: Under the Shunzhi Dynasty empresses (孝惠), imperial concubines (Dong Efei), and concubines (Jing concubines), they were the Five Fu Jin, who were the later Concubine Gongjing, Duan ShunFei, Shuhui Concubine, Mourning Concubine (who died without being crowned) and Concubine Ke (the only Han concubine).
Although she did not get the favor of the emperor, but with the protection of Empress Xiaozhuang, Shuhuifei and her sister Xiaohui could not stand too much embarrassment, and Shuhuifei's sister Xiaohui was not deposed, in fact, it was also from the obstruction of Empress Xiaozhuang.

After the death of the Shunzhi Emperor, Princess Shuhui, who was only about 20 years old, became a concubine, and she moved to the small courtyard in the north of Xianfu Palace with her sister Empress Renxian (孝惠), Consort Gongjing, Duan Shunfei, and Concubine Ning, and with the company of these sisters, Shuhuifei naturally had a little less loneliness.
In the twelfth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Princess Shuhui was honored by Kangxi along with several other Shunzhi concubines, and finally obtained the title of concubine. Since then, Shuhuifei has been living in the inner court until the fifty-second year of the Kangxi Dynasty, this year, Shuhuifei came to the end of her life, and she died at the age of 70, which is also a person with a high lifespan.
It is said that at that time, When Empress Renxian saw the death of her sister Shuhuifei, her heart was very uncomfortable, and she did not eat or drink, but Kangxi personally comforted this concubine, and Empress Renxian was slightly relieved. Five years later, Princess Shuhui was buried in the Xiaodong Mausoleum, where she and her sister Xiaohui were buried.

Shuhui Concubine Borjigit was a typical representative of the unloved concubines of the Shunzhi Dynasty, although she was noble, she did not get half the favor of the emperor, and throughout her life, she could not give birth to a man and a half woman, and she could not experience the taste of motherhood. However, Shu Huifei maintained an optimistic attitude and was able to live a long life.
Every year the mountain mausoleum is spoken today, and this evening is on duty at the Court of Tong. The palace wall is shining at the beginning of the moon, and the Onuma Wave is gradually spreading stars. Turning to the sound of self-pity, Chi Heart dreams of responding to the spirit. Donghua Buddha will sound drums and drums, causing me to mourn without pause.
Note: According to historical records, Shuhuifei once raised the seventeenth son of Kangxi, Yinli, and after Shuhuifei's death, Yinli went to her tomb to weep, which shows that the relationship between this Prince of the Qing Dynasty and Shuhuifei was very deep.
