Which nine concubines are nine concubines?
Kangxi has nine concubines, all of whom are well known, so they are called Nine Concubines: Hui Fei, Ping Fei, Liang Fei, Rong Fei, Shunyi Mi Fei, Cheng Fei, Qin Fei and Hui Fei. There is also a saying that the number of concubines of Queen Kangxi is dazzling and jaw-dropping. In the history of concubines in Kangxi Fu's harem, there are sayings that "nine concubines are linked together" and "eight concubines in the imperial court", which means that Kangxi can have nine concubines or eight concubines linked together overnight.
Among Kangxi's empresses, there are four pairs of sister flowers. Among them, Hersairihara, the first queen of Kangxi, and her sister Pingfei, as well as her sister Guo, and her sister Wennuo Guifei, especially Xiao Yiren and her sister Tong Guifei, are all cousins of Kangxi. Four pairs of sisters shared a bed and waited on an emperor, which was rare among ancient emperors in China. Kangxi's dirty life made the later Qing emperors fed up.
Kangxi not only has deep feelings for young couples, but also has a certain affection for other concubines. When Kangxi was away, he often wrote letters or sent home products back to the palace, and even wrote letters to the concubines who lived in the depths of the palace, telling some interesting stories on the way to relieve their sulks.
The most important thing Kangxi did for concubines was to arrange the life of concubines for the rest of their lives. He ordered his son's concubine to live in his son's mansion when she was old. This arrangement broke the rule that concubines lived alone in the palace until the emperor died.
Even so, Kangxi was promiscuous. The Crown Prince has a daughter, who should be Shunzhi's sister. She is Kangxi's aunt. When Shunzhi fled into an empty net, this Gege was not married because she was young. After Kangxi ascended the throne, this woman also stayed in the palace. Later, a minister proposed to her. Kangxi listened and said, I'm still talking about whether to get married or not. I was treated like a princess. The ministers were surprised and began to play, saying that the palace and the like were the foundation of Wang Hua's founding, and ethics should not be chaotic.
Kangxi's extravagant indulgence seems to show some clues from his physical condition. Because there are 3,000 beauties in Kangxi's harem, and because there is too much sex, it hurts his essence. In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, 17 17 years, his health went from bad to worse. Even so, his sex life seems to be as usual, so that in February of the following year, Chen Guiren of the harem gave birth to his last baby boy, ranking 35th.
Unfortunately, the prince died after birth, which may be related to Kangxi's long life and weak body. Kangxi is a master of Chinese and western medicine. He learned a lot of health preserving methods from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Unfortunately, "easier said than done", otherwise Kangxi would not have died at the age of 69.
After Kangxi's death, Yong Zhengdi, who succeeded to the throne, wrote to officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking them to handle the issue of Kangxi's "harem widow" carefully. There is a passage in the imperial edict: "Today, the general manager and others told me that it is acceptable for this noble person to enter the mausoleum. The relationship between the land of feng shui in the mausoleum should be carefully considered in the future, such as those who serve the imperial examination. If it is often sealed, it will not work. "
The Iraqi nobleman referred to in the imperial edict, who had no children, died in the sixth year of Yongzheng in A.D. 1728. So at that time, there were indeed many ladies-in-waiting who were moved by Kangxi because of their low status and were not buried in the Jingling of Kangxi after their death. According to the relevant historical records of North Korea, the number of women in Emperor Kangxi's harem reached about 3,000 in its heyday, of which the youngest was only twelve years old.
