( Emperor Kangxi )
As the longest reigning emperor, Kangxi reigned for 61 years, leaving behind not only achievements in history books, but also gossip that everyone likes.
History records that during the reign of Kangxi, there were more than two hundred concubines, both named and unnamed.
As a man who was used to seeing beauties from Manchu, Mongolian and Han Dynasties, what kind of preference did Kangxi have for beauty?
There are very few portraits of Kangxi women, so we have no way of knowing what kind of beauty and beauty they were like. According to the evidence left by history, there were eight women in Kangxi's harem, namely four pairs of sisters.
(1) Hesheli and little Hesheli
As the original wife of Kangxi, Queen Hesheli is recognized by everyone as Kangxi Bai Yueguang.
But history has something to say, it was just a political marriage.
htmlThe 18-year-old Kangxi ascended the throne, and Aobai also began to dominate the government. In order to balance the power, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang chose the queen for Kangxi.
finally chose Hesheli, the granddaughter of Sony , one of the four ministers.
And Sony was engaged to the royal family, and began to use all the strength of the family to fight against Obai. In the end, Kangxi defeated Obai, and the Hesheli family became the most prominent family at the time.
Although the beginning of this marriage was political, the young man Mu Ai, Kangxi also liked this gentle girl. The Hesheli family also gave birth to two sons for Kangxi. The eldest son died young, and the second son became the only prince of the Qing Dynasty, Yinreng.
Hesheli died early in childbirth, and Kangxi was very sad. Therefore, in the next draft, Hesheli's biological sister will be included in the harem.
Little Hershey is not as good as her elder sister. Not only is she not favored, but her status is very low.
It wasn't until little Heschel died of illness that she was posthumously named Ping Fei by Kangxi. There is a clear distinction between sisters.
(2) Niu Hulu and Xiao Niu Hulu
As the successor queen of Kangxi, Niu Hulu was also the daughter of the four auxiliary ministers Yi Bilong.
After the death of Queen Hesheli, she was appointed as her successor by Kangxi.
Niu Hulu was a very capable woman, but her wisdom was bound to be damaged. Only one year after becoming the queen, Niu Hulu died of illness.
After Niu Hulu died of illness, Kangxi adopted a draft to bring Niu Hulu's biological sister into the harem.
Xiaoniu Hulu, who was new to the palace, was very favored and was canonized as a noble concubine. And she gave birth to the tenth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, who later became the strong eighth master party .
Xiao Niu Hulu was not as stable as her elder sister. Because of her high status, she repeatedly contradicted the Empress Dowager and was scolded by Kangxi. After falling out of favor, Xiao Niu Hulu died of depression. However, Kangxi only remembered her good deeds after her death and granted her the title of posthumous title. Wen Xi Guifei for .
The two Niu Hulu sisters were favored by Kangxi for a short period of time, but they lost a long-term favor.
(3) Tong Jia and Xiao Tong Jia
As the third queen of Kangxi, Tong Jia and Kangxi were cousins.
Kangxi's biological mother was the biological sister of Tong Jia's father Tong Guowei , so Kangxi and Tong Jia were closely related by blood.
Kangxi also had a preference for his cousin Tong Jia because of his biological mother. Originally, after the death of Niu Hulu, Kangxi wanted to canonize Tong Jia as the queen, but he was afraid that he would suppress his wife, so he only made her the imperial concubine, but she was in charge of the affairs of the harem.
Tong Jia gave birth to a daughter, but the child died young. At the same time, this grief dragged down Tong Jia.
Kangxi looked at his cousin who was seriously ill and canonized Tong Jia as the queen, thinking that he could save his cousin. However, Tong Jia only became the queen for one day and passed away.
When Tong Jia was in charge of the harem, Kangxi did not know why he brought Tong Jia's half-sister into the harem. Although she had no status, she was also a legitimate woman of Kangxi's.
It can be seen that Kangxi did not like Tong Jia much. Both the Hesheli family and the Niu Hulu family only brought their sisters into the harem after their deaths. However, when Tong Jia was still alive, Kangxi did not care about Tong Jia's mood at all.
After Tong Jia's death, little Tong Jia finally came out and was named a noble concubine by Kangxi and took charge of the harem.
These sisters are the ones who suffer the most.
(4) Guoluo Luoshi and Xiao Guoluo Luoshi
are the well-known Kangxi concubines, Yifei must be on the list.
The first three of the Guo Luoluo family were of higher birth, but they were favored by Kangxi. They were first named Yi concubines and gave birth to the fifth son of the emperor Yinqi , who was named Yi concubine. She is also one of the famous four concubines Huiyi and Derong in the Kangxi harem.
Concubine Yi was good at childbearing and gave birth to three sons. The eldest son was a teacher, Yinqi. The second son, , was a member of the famous Ba Ye Party. The third son, Yinyu, died at the age of 12.
Different from the favor of his elder sister, Concubine Yi, Xiao Guo Luo Luo was named a nobleman when he entered the palace and has been living under the protection of his elder sister.
It was only after the death of Kangxi that Lao Jiuyinzu opposed the new emperor Yongzheng because of his concentration. Yongzheng was angry with Concubine Yi and deliberately suppressed her. Concubine Yin died of illness successively, including Yinzhen, Yinzhen, and Yinqi. All three sons died early, and Concubine Yi also passed away heartbroken.
Without the protection of his sister, Xiao Guo Luoluo was also lost to everyone.
None of the four pairs of sisters ended well. It is said that Forbidden City wealth. But no woman there can escape the beauty of jade.
