In the list of concubines of the Kangxi Emperor, there were three imperial concubines, namely the concubines of the Jingmin Emperor, the concubines of the Emperor Huihui and the concubines of the Emperor Yiyi, and although these three were finally named imperial concubines, none of them were canonized by Kangxi. Emperor Jingmin's noble concubine and Emperor Hui's concubine were Yongzheng's, and Emperor Yi's concubine was Qianlong's honorific title, in fact, there was only one imperial concubine that Kangxi personally couldonize, that is, Empress Xiaoyiren, but Empress Xiaoyiren had been ordained as empress before her death. Therefore, the head of the Kangxi Dynasty concubine was actually a certain noble concubine under the imperial concubine, and she was Wen Xian's concubine.

Speaking of this Wen Concubine, I have to mention her family, the Yellow Flag Button Hulu Clan, which supports this family with military merit, which is the founding hero of the Qing Dynasty, Hongyi Gongyuan Yidu, that is, the grandfather of Wen Qigui.
As early as Eyidu, the Yellow Banner Niu Hulu clan has been maintaining a joint marriage relationship with the Qing Dynasty royal family, Nurhaci has successively married his sister and daughter (Mukush) to Eyidu, and Eyidu has also married two daughters to Zilharang (Prince Zheng, Nurhaci's nephew) and Huang Taiji (Nurhaci's eighth son), and the one who married Huang Taiji is the original concubine of Emperor Taiji, Niu Hulu, that is, the aunt of Wen Guifei.
Princess Wen's father was Duke Guoyi, one of the four chancellors of the Kangxi Dynasty, who was the grandson of Taizu Nurhaci and had closer ties to the imperial family.
His first two wives were the eldest daughter of Prince Azig of England and the eldest daughter of Prince Sakhalyan of Ying. These two men, one is the cousin of Shubilon, and the other is the cousin niece of Shubilon.
At the same time, the two daughters born to Shu ShuJue Luoshi of the Shubilong side room were also included in the harem by his cousin Kangxi, and his sister was Empress Xiaozhao, and his younger sister was Concubine Wen.
Moreover, Kangxi did not forget to broker the relationship between several empresses' families.
It is said that this Shubilong had seven sons, the eldest and the second died early, the old three Fakha, the old four Yan Zhu, the fifth Fu Bao, the sixth Yin De, and the seventh Alinga.
Old Sanfakha was born to Empress Xiaozhao and Concubine Wen of the same mother (Shushu Jueluoshi), and his stepwife was Empress Xiaochengren's sister Hesheli (daughter of The Minister of The Interior of the Imperial Guard), the wife of Old Siyanzhu was Empress Xiaoyiren's sister Tong Jiashi (daughter of Tong Guowei), and the wife of Old Seventh Aling'a was Empress Xiaogongren's sister Uyashi (daughter of The Guardian Army).
It can be seen that in the eyes of Kangxi, the Yellow Banner Niu Hulu clan is a big tree, marrying several empress sisters into the Niu Hulu family, making them more closely linked, so as to ensure the stability of imperial power.
Note: The Yellow Banner Niu Hulu clan (a branch of the Hongyi Gongfu) has produced five Empresses of the Great Qing Dynasty, in addition to Empress Xiaozhaoren, there are also Empress Xiaoshengxian, Empress Xiaoherui, Empress Xiaomucheng and Empress Xiaozhenxian.
Note: It is said that this Shubilong had five daughters, the eldest daughter was married to the king of the Baring Commandery of the Southern Mongolian Empire, the second daughter was Empress Xiaozhao, the third daughter was Wen Shu Guifei, the fourth daughter was married to Fuguo Gongyun as the stepwife, and the fifth daughter was married to Ayyash, the first-class son of the White Banner.
But in fact, there are not only these five daughters, there is a daughter who failed to compete with Empress Xiaochengren for the throne, there is a daughter who was asked by Shu Bilong to take her mother into the palace at a very young age, and there is also a daughter who has not arranged to marry for a period of time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > the second noble concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty</h1>
On February 26, 177 of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Xiaozhao, who had only been ordained for half a year, died in Kunning Palace. Subsequently, Kangxi's cousin Tong Shi (Empress Xiaoyiren) ruled empress dowager qing as a noble concubine (the first noble concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty). Two years later, xiaozhao's mourning period had passed, and in order to maintain the position of the Niuhulu family in the harem, Kangxi summoned Empress Xiaozhao's half-sister Niu Hulu to the harem, and this Niuhulu clan was Wen Qigui.
In the nineteenth year of The Kangxi Dynasty, the daughter of Qiu Bilong, Niu Hulu, was summoned by Kangxi to the harem, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was enthroned as a concubine (not a canonized ceremony), and at that time, the highest ranking in the harem of the Qing Dynasty was the noble concubine Tong Shi (Empress Xiao Yiren), followed by the concubine Niu Hulu clan, and then the seven concubines who were crowned by Kangxi in the sixteenth year and the de concubine Wu Ya who was crowned separately in the eighteenth year of Kangxi.
That is to say, as soon as the Niu Hulu clan entered the palace, they sat on the second chair of the harem, and the great influence of the family background on it can be seen.
In December of the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, taking advantage of the happiness of pacifying the Three Domains, Kangxi sealed the harem for the second time, and the noble concubine Tong was promoted to the title of Imperial Concubine (Empress Xiaoyiren), and the concubine Niu Hulu was promoted to the title of Noble Concubine (Wen Shu Guifei), followed by the four concubines, namely Hui, Yi, De, and Rong. In this case, the Niuhulu clan became the second noble concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty and the second noble concubine of the Qing Dynasty.
Wen Xian Noble Concubine's Book of Noble Concubines:
"The transformation of the king began with IKEA and the rank of the palace. The Kun Sect is the master of the inner rule and the sage of the auxiliary wing of the capital. Oh. Pattern cycle system. Shōl nyūrō clan. Du Sheng Xun Valve. Ke Feng Fang type. Be courteous. Fu Zi ShuHui. The teachings of the Poetry Book, the sound of the magnificent writings of the Court. The glory of shilun silk and the use of light canons of pet tin. Hereby honors the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager, and regards her as a noble concubine. Erqi Qiqin Dream Night, Xiang Qi Fan and Mi Si Emblem. Yanqing Jiabang, Zuo Woman's Office and Eternal Dependents, Chinzai. ”
Although the Niu Hulu clan was based in the harem with a family background, Kangxi was also very fond of this little sister-in-law, and the Niu Hulu clan gave birth to the emperor's tenth son Yin And the eleventh daughter of the emperor in the twenty-second year of Kangxi in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi. Among them, the eleventh daughter of the emperor died early, and the tenth son of the emperor, Yin Chen, survived and became the powerful backbone of the party of the eighth master who later seized the concubine.
Among these sons of Kangxi, Yin Yu was not outstanding, but his status was very high, except for the crown prince Yin Rong born to Empress Xiaochengren, who counted him, although Empress Xiao Yiren also raised many princes for Kangxi, including the later Yongzheng Emperor Yinchen, but they were at best the adopted sons of the empress, how could they be compared with the deep-rooted Niuhulu family.
In the forty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi restored the crown prince Yin Rong at the same time, and at the same time, he divided the other sons, and Yin Yu was made the king of Dun County, in contrast, at this time, the old Eight Yin Yu was still Baylor, and the old Jiu Yin Yu was only a shell, and could not be compared with Yin Yu at all.
Let's look at the marriage that Kangxi arranged for this son.
The concubine Fujin of the Old Ten Yin Dynasty was of the Borjigit clan (of the same clan as The Great Concubine of Yijing) who was the daughter of the Mongol king of the Urjin Karap County, and this Concubine Fujin died prematurely. Kangxi then married Empress Xiaochengren's niece (the granddaughter of Kabula, daughter of Zo ling Changhai) to Yin As the successor to Fujin. Two wives, one was the daughter of the Mongol Junwang and the other was the niece of the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and the marriage of the old Shi Yin was one of the best among kangxi's many sons.
It is said that after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the three swordsmen of the Eight Masters Party, the old Eight Yin Yu and the old Nine Yin Yu were all imprisoned to death, only the old Ten Yin Yu survived, not without reason, the background of the Niu Hulu family behind Yin Yu was really too strong.

In July of the 28th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the third empress of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Xiaoyiren, died only one day after her appointment, and subsequently, the highest ranking in the harem of the Great Qing Dynasty was the noble concubine Niu Hulu (文僖贵妃), after which the Niu Hulu clan ruled the harem of the Great Qing Dynasty as a noble concubine.
However, Niu Hulu's health was not very good, she only insisted for five years, Kangxi thirty-three years of the first day of November, the noble concubine Niu Hulu was seriously ill, Kangxi did not take care of political affairs for a day, the second day of the first day was the winter solstice, because of the sacrifice and fasting, the various yamen did not play a chapter, the first three days of the Niu Hulu clan died, only 34 years old.
After the death of the Niuhulu clan, Kangxi posthumously honored her as a noble concubine of Wen Andi, and built a funeral palace outside the Chaoyang Gate, and all the manchu and Han Sanpin officials and above had to attend the funeral. Unexpectedly, at the funeral of Concubine Wen, a farce was staged.
Wen Xian Guifei's epithet:

It is said that the Duke of Goi of Bilung was inherited by the third son, Faka (who was the same mother as Empress Xiaozhao and Concubine Wen), but this Fakha was born to the ShuShuJue Luo clan of the side chamber of Shu Bilong, and the third stepwife of the Tsubilon clan gave birth to the younger son (the seventh old), Alinga, watching the duke of the family being inherited by the elder brother Faka born to the side chamber, Alinga of course did not want to, and Alinga tried to regain this title.
For some reason, this title was indeed inherited from Fakha to Alinga in the twenty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1686). Therefore, the two brothers, Faqa and Alinga, can be said to be on the same page.
At the funeral of Concubine Wen, Alinga spread rumors that Fakha had committed adultery with his sister-in-law. After being found to be framed, Kangxi removed Alinga from his post and retained his dukedom.
Note: At the funeral of Concubine Wen, The fact that Alinga framed her brother and sister-in-law for adultery was not recorded in other historical sources in the Records of the Holy Ancestors compiled by the Yongzheng Emperor and the Yongzheng Emperor, so the authenticity of this matter is doubtful. Instead, Alinga became a favorite of the mid- and late Kangxi Dynasty, serving as the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Parliament.
But Alinga did two things to discredit him.
First, in the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, during the period of the first abolition of the crown prince, he spread bad opinions about the crown prince; second, he recommended the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, as the crown prince.
The first of these two events was a very serious blow to the fourth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan, because at that time people believed that Aling Ah was under the command of Yin Chan.
In the second year of Yongzheng, the Yongzheng Emperor issued an edict to his ministers:
"Among the ministers of this dynasty, they have treacherous intentions and form parties for personal gain, but Alinga and Shushu are the most important. Princess Wen died, and outside the chaoyang gate of the funeral, her family was mourned at the funeral home. He was not at peace with his brother Fakasu, and wanted to cause death, but he spread a rumor to slander Faka, and Faka heard it, and he was furious, and he took away his office, and he remained the duke.
The abolition of the second brother in that year was broken from the holy heart. Did it be abolished because of the gossip of his subordinates? It is Alinga and Ah Ling'a, and seducing the kings into making nonsense by plotting day and night, causing the Emperor to be indignant, and Mo Ke questions, this Fall and Ah Ling Ah Shu do not share the hatred of heaven. Arjun Ariel is more cunning than his father. He was sent to Fengtian to guard the tomb of his ancestors, and the tombstone of Alinga was engraved with the words 'Tomb of Alinga, who is not a subject, a violent and greedy man', in order to justify his sins.
The treacherous deeds of these two people cannot be so well understood, and the non-degeneration cannot be so auspicious, that is, there is foolishness to protect the party and resist death without realizing it, and the purpose of the fall has been determined, and it is not especially possible to accumulate hatred for decades. ”
In fact, the relationship between this Alinga and Yongzheng is also quite close, and The wife of Aling'a is the sister of Empress Xiaogongren, Wu Yashi. That is to say, Aling'a was the uncle of the Yongzheng Emperor, but the political situation in the Kangxi Dynasty was complicated, and even Yongzheng's brother Yin Yu sided with the Eighth Brother Yinyu, not to mention the alinga who was only his uncle.
Although Aling'a had died in the fifty-fifth year of The Kangxi Dynasty, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, his family was also very miserable, and the tombstone of Aling'a was changed to "The Tomb of Aling'a, who is not a subject, is violent and greedy", And Aling's second son, Alsun'a, was beheaded, and Aling'a's other two sons, Alben'a and Tardang'a, were punished as slaves or sent to the border areas, and it was not until Qianlong succeeded to the throne that he was rehabilitated.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, Wen Concubine Niu Hulu could be said to be the highest-ranking concubine in addition to the three empresses (Xiaocheng, Xiaozhao, and Xiaoyi), and Princess De, because the Yongzheng Emperor succeeded to the throne, her mother was noble, and she overshadowed Concubine Wen. Therefore, Wen Concubine was the veritable head of the Kangxi Dynasty concubines.
Although his son Yin Yi was a loser in the competition for the throne, this did not shake the position of the Niuhulu family in the dynasty, and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the Duke of Guoyi was inherited by Yin De, the sixth son of Qiu Bilong, and several of Yin De's sons such as Celen, Neqin, and Arigun became famous vassals of the Qianlong Dynasty.
