Since the Nurhaci period, there has been such a family, which has been married to the Qing dynasty royal family for generations, that is, the Borjigit family of the Mongolian Korqin tribe. The family contributed six empresses to the Qing Dynasty, namely Empress Xiaoduanwen, Empress Xiaozhuangwen, Empress Chengzongyi, Empress Shunzhi, Empress Xiaohuizhang, and Empress Xiaojingcheng. In terms of quantity, it is enough to compete with the Niu Hulu clan. However, since the beginning of the Kangxi Dynasty, the rule of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains has gradually stabilized, and it is urgent to get rid of the Mongol repression, and the number of Mongolian concubines entering the palace has become smaller and smaller...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > the last phoenix of the Korqin family</h1>
Princess Xuan, daughter of borzigit, prince of Korqin Darhan and daughter of Ta.
Princess Xuan's grandfather, named Manzhu Xili, was a brother of Empress Xiaozhuang, that is, Heta was a cousin of the Shunzhi Emperor, and Xuanfei was included in the harem by Kangxi, that is, the daughter of her cousin (Heta) married the son of her cousin (Shunzhi Emperor). Therefore, this Kangxi and Concubine Xuan can also be regarded as cousins.
In fact, the relationship between the Xuanfei family and the Qing dynasty royal family is far more than that.
Xuanfei's father and Ta had a sister (that is, Xuanfei's aunt) was incorporated into the harem by Shunzhi very early, and due to her young age, she could only be temporarily raised in the palace, who knows, this Mongolian princess died before she had time to be canonized, she was a mourning concubine.
Concubine Xuan also had a cousin named Empress Xiaohuiji (also a cousin of the Shunzhi Emperor), who married two daughters into the Qing Dynasty royal family, and these two daughters were incorporated into the harem by Shunzhi, namely Empress Xiaohuizhang and Concubine Shuhui, both of whom were Xuanfei's cousins.
In fact, the reason why Concubine Xuan was able to enter the palace was that she had a great relationship with a person, and this person was Concubine Hui.
Princess Hui, of the Borjigit clan, was the daughter of Taiji Ayuxi, the son of Ejiji, the son of Ejiji, the son of King Eji of Korqin Bingtu County. This Ah Yuxi was not an outsider, he was empress xiaozhuang's cousin, that is, princess Hui was empress xiaozhuang's niece.
In the early years of the Kangxi Dynasty, in order to win over the first assistant Sony, Empress Xiaozhuang broke the tradition of making a Mongolian woman empress and chose Sony's granddaughter Hesheli to enter the middle palace. However, Xiaozhuang was, after all, a Concubine of the Great Qing Dynasty from Mongolia, and she wanted to maintain the glory of her mother's family (the Horqin Ministry) in the Qing Royal Family, so in addition to the LiHesheli clan as the queen, she also added the daughter of her cousin Ayuxi to the Borjigit clan (Hui Concubine) into the palace to raise her for future canonization.
But what I didn't expect was that this Horqin princess had a red face and a short life, and before she could seal it, Kangxi died in nine years, and it was estimated that her age was about twelve or thirteen years old, and then Kangxi posthumously named this cousin As a Concubine Hui. After Princess Hui's death, Empress Xiaozhuang chose a Mongol princess for her grandson Kangxi, and this was Princess Xuan, of the Borjigit clan.

Speaking of Kangxi's concubine-level throne, everyone is more familiar with the four concubines, namely Hui, Yi, De, and Rong. In fact, after these four concubines, there are two more concubines.
The first was Kangxi's original sister Empress Xiaochengren, The Hesheli clan, who was the same as Princess Hui, and was raised in the palace at an early age, saying that she stayed in the palace for about the nineteenth year of Kangxi.
In the twenty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when the Hesheli clan reached the age of canonization, Kangxi made him a concubine, because he lived in Chuxiu Palace, called Chuxiu Palace Concubine. Although it was not officially canonized, the treatment of the Herschel clan was not fundamentally different from that of the four concubines, and the pattern of five concubines was formed.
This Herschel clan gave birth to the crown prince Yin Yu in the thirtieth year of Kangxi, but the little prince only lived for more than a month before dying, and The Herschel clan himself died five years later, and Kangxi posthumously honored him as a concubine.
The second is the Princess Borzigit clan that this article will talk about.
In fact, the Borjigit clan had already entered the palace as early as the sixteenth year of Kangxi, although this year Kangxi first sealed the harem, but the official canonization of the Borjigit clan was not, it may also be that the Borjigit clan at this time has not yet reached the age. However, after all, the Borjigit clan was empress dowager's family, and Kangxi ordered her to enjoy the treatment of concubines.
In the 26th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi decreed that the Borjigit clan should be made a concubine, and because she lived in Xianfu Palace, she was also known as the Concubine of Xianfu Palace. In this way, the Kangxi harem concubines formed a pattern of six concubines of Hui, Yi, De, Rong, Chuxiu Palace Concubine (Ping Concubine) and Xianfu Palace Concubine (Xuan Concubine).

Logically, the birth of the Borzigit clan is the highest among the six concubines, and this kind of birth is placed in the Imperial Taiji and Shunzhi Dynasties, how can it be treated as a noble concubine, but it has to be said that the Borzigit clan is really not born at the right time.
At that time, the rule of the Qing State in the Central Plains was gradually stabilized, no longer relying on the Mongol tribes as before, but continued to get rid of the Mongol clampdown on the Qing. On the other hand, Empress Xiaozhuang died in the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the pawns of the Horqin Clan in the Qing Harem disappeared, so naturally there was no backstage for the Mongol concubines.
To put it bluntly, the Borjigit clan was made a concubine in the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and it is very likely that she only made a move based on the face of Empress Xiaozhuang. After Empress Xiaozhuang's death, the Borjigit clan was never given the title of jin again, nor did she have children. This shows that she is not favored by Kangxi at all, and she is only an agent of the Horqin ministry in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
However, after all, the Borjigit clan was of noble birth and was related to the Qing dynasty royal family.
In the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites to crown a number of concubines between the ages of 40 and 60 who gave birth to the crown prince, and the name of the Borjigit clan was among the recipients, and this time, the Borzigit clan was officially canonized as Xuanfei. In addition to Concubine Xuan, the concubines of the Guarjia clan, the Concubine Dai Jia clan, the Ding concubine Wan Liu Ha clan, the mi concubine Wang clan and the Qin concubine Chen clan were also enthroned this time.
It can be found that there are various circumstances of this canonization, and it is more favored with the concubine Guarjia clan, so it is sealed. Concubine Dai Jia and concubines Wan LiuHa, Concubine Wang, and Qin Concubine Chen were knighted for their meritorious procreation of the prince, and only the Borjigit clan was neither favored nor procreated, and the reason why she was enthroned was entirely based on her birth and seniority.
Xuanfei Book:
"Prepare the throne of the palace, and revisit the choice of Gong; accept the concubine of the concubine, and push the sage of the auxiliary wing." Jian Shuoyuan in Ziting.

Erqi Yi yi mao, cheng jing fu yu fang lai. Let Wen Mi Zhang's Hongyu be replaced. ”
Although Concubine Xuan was not favored by Kangxi, fortunately, her optimistic mentality was also of great benefit to her body to a certain extent, and after Kangxi's death, several concubines such as Concubine He, Concubine Ding, Concubine Mi, and Concubine Qin were honored by the new emperor Yongzheng, while Concubine Xuanfei was excluded because she did not have a prince.
However, Xuanfei didn't seem to care about this, all she wanted was to live a few more years. On the eighth day of the first month of August in the first year of Qianlong, Princess Xuanfei Borjigit died of illness at Ningshou Palace, and her death should be more than seventy years old. In September of the following year, Concubine Xuan was buried in the Kangxi Jingling Concubine Garden.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > Zichen said</h1>:
Princess Xuanfei can be said to be the last glory of the Borjigit clan in the Qing dynasty, after her, there were no more concubines from the Borjigit clan of Horqin in the harem of the Qing Dynasty (Note: Empress Xiaojingcheng was not from the Horqin clan). Although Princess Xuanfei did not receive the favor of Kangxi in her life and did not have children, she was able to live a long life, which was much better than her aunt Concubine And Concubine Hui.
