I heard that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty had very strict standards for selecting concubines. Whether it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs draft or the Eight Banners draft, she must be an unmarried and innocent showgirl, right?
Although emperors in the early Qing Dynasty, such as Kangxi and Qianlong, all married widows into the palace, the number was limited.
But Qing Taizong Aixinjueluo and Huang Taiji were different. There were actually seven concubines who were widows in his harem, accounting for 46% of the total number of concubines.

That's why Huang Taiji is also known as the Widow Harvester!
