Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 383 The third part of the main story: The mystery of the disappearance of Concubine An and Concubine Jing

In Kangxi’s harem, there are still two people who cannot be ignored. In the "Kangxi Shilu", the record of Kangxi’s first sealing of the harem in the 16th year of Kangxi clearly records: "Send Shangshu Wu Zhengzhi, Minister E Xingge, Yang Zhengzhong, Ma La, Fu Hongji, bachelor Xiang Jingxiang, Li Tianfu, etc., conferred the book of Chijie, and named Li as An concubine. Wang Jia was a respected concubine, Dong was a Duan concubine, and Ma Jia was a honorable concubine. Nala The clan is Concubine Hui. The clan of Guo Luoluo is Concubine Yi. The clan of He Sheli is Concubine Xi."

Two people's names are impressively listed, namely: An Concubine Li and Jing Concubine Wang Jia. These two were childless as early as the 16th year of Kangxi, but they were already in the position of concubines. It can be seen that they were still very important in the early Kangxi harem. The two most important people, but since then, there is no news about the two of them. Such important two people were not buried in Kangxi's concubine garden. Where did they go?
There are three common theories about their disappearance:
One: died earlier and was buried in Huanghua Mountain. I have seen someone analyze it this way, but as Yuetong said in the previous article, because Concubine Hui died earlier, the Concubine’s Yamen was built earlier than the Jingling Underground Palace Yes, the concubine's yamen should have been built in the 16th year of Kangxi, and the two of them were concubines who were clearly granted the 16th year, so they would die the soonest after the [-]th year of Kangxi.

Well, even if the concubine's office was not built, something was done in the 57th year of Kangxi, that is, the concubines Zhenfei, Kefei, and Mourning concubine of Emperor Shunzhi buried at the foot of Huanghua Mountain were buried in the Xiaodong Tomb. His concubine Xuan Ye wanted to be buried in the mausoleum, let alone his own concubine?So this possibility is almost non-existent.

Second: After the two died in Kangxi, Yongzheng did not bury them in the concubine's garden. This is also unlikely. The two became concubines in the 16th year of Kangxi. That is also a person who has a title (rewarded), Kangxi has a clear number of concubines in his life, and it is impossible for Yongzheng not to bury the two of them in the concubine's garden.

There is another kind of supplement to this statement. The two may be downgraded to Persistence and Promise because of some mistakes; They can get the titles of Changzai and Promise, but there are Changzai and Promise buried in the dormitory of the Empress Concubine of Kangxi, and those two can still be granted this title. The reason is not to be buried in the concubine's garden. Of course, another possibility is not ruled out, that is, the name of the title was changed when the two were conferred. of.That is to say, these two people are actually also in the concubine's bedroom, but we don't know who they are, but I personally think it's unlikely.
