Return

A closer look at the history books of the Qing Dynasty revealed that very few women in the harem were granted the title of concubine as soon as they entered the palace. However, the life of such a woman is clearly recorded in the history books: as a gift to Emperor Jingmin's noble concubine Zhang Jia, she was given the title of concubine Hai Kuannu. She was first named a concubine. In the 25th year of Kangxi's reign, she gave birth to the emperor's thirteenth son, Prince Yixian, Yunxiang. In the twenty-sixth year, the emperor's thirteenth daughter, Princess Wenke, was born. Thirty years later, the emperor's fifteenth daughter and Princess Shuodunke were born. She died on the 25th of the seventh month of Ji Mao in the thirty-eighth year, which was a leap month, and her posthumous title was Concubine Min. (The concubine was buried in the garden). In June of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Emperor Shizong was promoted to the imperial concubine Kao Jingmin. In September, my nephew was buried in Jingling Mausoleum. It can be seen that she has always been very favored, but in terms of status and family background, she actually did not stand out in the harem where the powerful were gathered. What made her so favored by Kangxi?
