According to this official document, the concubine Dai Jia was not canonized before the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi (1718) and was a concubine.

"General Genealogy of the Eight Banners Clan" records that the ancestors of the Dai Jia clan recorded: "Sehe was led by Bao Yizuo to conquer Datong, and he defeated all the thieves when he captured Chahar. There is also a picture of Jinzhou defeating Chengchou and establishing the throne in Yanjing. At that time, he entered Shanhaiguan to fight against bandits, and was awarded the title of Captain of Cavalry. His nephew Galu was promoted to the second-class Captain of Light Cars by Enzhao, and served as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Assistant Leader. "

• According to literature records, the eldest son of the Kangxi Emperor was raised in the home of Dai Jia's Galu when he was young. Galu served as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the seventh year of Kangxi (1668) until his death in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi (1688).

Judging from the published palace records, the elder brother at that time was often called a certain palace elder brother or a certain elder brother, but Yunyou was always called the seventh elder brother, which seemed to indicate that he did not live in the inner court.

The harem system is not perfect, and it is common for concubines who give birth to princes to enjoy the treatment of concubines but have not been officially granted the title for a long time.
