This woman's name is Chen, the concubine of Kangxi. The reason why she was not given a status was because she was a Han woman. In the early Qing Dynasty, there was still a gap between Manchu and Han, so Kangxi In order to protect her, I didn't give her a title. Because her family had neither power nor money, and was just an ordinary family, there were not many records about her in history. According to historical records, Chen's father is Chen Yuqing. He has no profession and is just an ordinary person. How did a woman with such a background come into the palace?
Chen’s beauty is innate. Although her father was not an official of the imperial court, her family situation was very good, and Chen's education was comprehensive since she was a child. When Chen grew up, she became a famous and talented woman. She was not only familiar with various poems and books, but also proficient in music. Soon, the graceful Chen became the most wanted object of young people from all over the country. When Chen was in his prime, he met Kangxi who was out on tour.
As soon as Kangxi saw this talented and beautiful beauty, he was tempted and decided to invite her to the palace. Although she is a Han woman, the emperor is the emperor after all. If he wants to bring a woman back to the palace, it is a simple matter. When Chen first entered the palace, she was very popular with Kangxi. Soon, Chen gave birth to a son for Kangxi, Yinxi. Kangxi was already 58 years old when he was born. With the addition of a son at this age, Kangxi loved the mother and son even more.
According to historical records, when Yinxi was nine years old, he was often taken out by Kangxi on tours. This shows that Kangxi cared very much about his son. Although Yinxi was deeply trusted by her father, she did not become arrogant. While other princes were coveting the throne, he knew very well in his heart that he had no such thoughts. It is for this reason that Yongzheng did not arrest him in the end and made him a county king.
But looking back at the Chen family who gave birth to Yinxi, Kangxi did not canonize her until his death. When Kangxi died, she was just an ordinary concubine. Perhaps Kangxi chose to do this to protect his daughter and children from criticism.
