There is a very classic historical TV series in modern my country called "Kangxi Dynasty". I believe that many people who have watched it will be overwhelmed by the actor Rong Fei played by Li Jianqun. Concubine Rong is empathetic and slim. A character in a historical TV drama really impressed the audience in front of the TV. In Chinese history, the character of Concubine Rong is not entirely a fictional character. Concubine Rong is actually a character portrayed and created by reference to Ma Jia, the favorite consort of Emperor Kangxi during the Qing Dynasty.
The birth year of Ma Jia in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty is unknown, and his father is a member of the Wai Lang Gaishan. She entered the palace in the fourth year of Kangxi. She was still in the status of an unnamed concubine when she entered the palace, but she was the first woman to have the title of concubine among all the women around Kangxi. On the surface, she seems to be ignored by people, but she is the concubine of the prince in the harem.
Concubine Rong not only gave birth to the eldest prince, but she also gave birth to six other children in the next ten years. Her contribution to the royal family could not be surpassed by a concubine. The Ma Jia family, who had nurtured many princes throughout his life, was not the highest, but he was still particularly loved by Emperor Kangxi. When Ma Jia gave birth to Emperor Kangxi’s tenth son, Yinzhi, she was directly promoted to the position of honorable man. Of course, this position was extraordinary compared to before. Since then, she has also assisted the emperor to manage some six Power of many things in the palace.
Ma Jia, who gave birth to many princes in his life, logically said that he should enjoy the latter half of his life, but the truth is full of misery. Most of it is probably because Kangxi and Ma Jiashi were parents too early and had too many children, so the latter few children were very weak and died on the way before they could grow up. The child born is the blood and flesh that fell from a mother. Ma Jiashi has always been hit hard by the constant loss of children. Of the six children born to Kangxi in her life, only three elder brothers survived. Zhi and the emperor's third daughter, Princess Gu Lun Rongxian. Gu Lun's title was generally given to the queen's daughter, but Rong Xian, the daughter of Concubine Rong, was named Princess Gu Lun. Therefore, it must be Kangxi's special title bestowed on Rongxian. From here, we can see that the Kangxi Emperor attached great importance to Ma Jia's family. In the next twenty years of Kangxi, Kangxi was promoted to Ma Jiashi as Concubine Rong.
Because the Qing Dynasty has always had an unwritten rule that the prince born must leave his biological mother and choose another adoptive mother to raise him, so only Princess Gu Lun Rongxian is the only one. Chenghuan Ma Jia's daughter grew up slowly under the knee. So Ma Jiashi must have loved her very much. Pour all the regrets about the children who have passed away on the princess Gu Lun Rongxian who appeared later.
Seeing Princess Gulun Rongxian gradually grow up and become lively and clever, she won the love of Kangxi and Ma Jia. But because Kangxi was insecure when dealing with the political affairs, as the emperor, in order to win over the forces around the country, in the end, he could only marry Princess Gu Lun Rongxian to Monan Mongolia in the name of marrying his beloved daughters from two countries. At this time, the princess was only 19 years old and was about to bid farewell to her parents in tears. The marriage of Princess Gu Lun Rongxian to Mongolia also became a big knot of Ma Jia, who loved her daughter.
From ancient times to the present, it has been said that the most ruthless emperor’s family. Since then, Ma Jiashi has hated Emperor Kangxi’s indifference. At this time, she just felt that the man next to her pillow would only value his interests. Those family affections that are thicker than water can be completely ignored. So Ma Jia was disheartened and began to neglect Emperor Kangxi, and never wanted to fight for favor. Her idea was to stay quietly in the harem for the rest of her life, so she didn't get promoted again after she reached the position of Concubine Rong.
