4. Zhuang Jing Huang Guifei

Zhuang Jing's concubine Tatara, the daughter of the chief Qinghai family, was born on February 27 of the 17th year of Daoguang, six years younger than Emperor Xianfeng, two years younger than the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the same age as the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

When Xianfeng drafted a girl in the first year, she was selected at the same time as the Empress Dowager Cixi, and on the ninth day of May of the second year, they were sent to the Old Summer Palace from their homes at the same time, and were named Li Guiren on the same day; The Empress Dowager Cixi was named a Lan nobleman.

On December 24 of the fourth year, Li Guiren was named Li Concubine, judging from the date recorded in the concubine, Li Concubine's concubine ceremony was almost a month later than Yi Concubine.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of May in the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), Concubine Li gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor (that is, Princess Rong'an Gulun) for Emperor Xianfeng, and became the first concubine to give birth to children for the emperor.

On December 28, he ordered Wenqing, a scholar of the university, to be the chief envoy, and Shang Shulinkui of the Ministry of Rites to be the deputy envoy, and to carry out the canonization ceremony. Ten months earlier than the Empress Dowager Cixi's concubine. On March 23, 1856, Cixi gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Zaichun.

That is, the later Emperor Tongzhi, who was promoted to Concubine Yi on the same day, and the status of these two people was almost promoted one after the other, and in the end they were still on an equal footing. In the seventh year of Xianfeng (1857), Concubine Yi Nala was promoted to Concubine Yi again, and her status was obviously slightly higher than that of Concubine Gaoli.

Every time there is a big banquet in the palace, the first table in the east is the queen Niu Hulu, and the second table is Concubine Li and Concubine Qi; The first table on the west side was Concubine Yi and Concubine Wan. Yi Guifei Yehenara sat on the second position in the harem after the queen.

On the tenth day of October in the 11th year of Xianfeng, Emperor Tongzhi held the second day of the ceremony, Emperor Tongzhi thanked Concubine Li for serving Emperor Xianfeng for many years, and gave birth to the eldest princess, and reported the reward to the Queen Mother, and Cixi was in the name of Emperor Tongzhi.

With "Concubine Li has served the emperor for many years and gave birth to a princess", I would like to honor her as the concubine of Emperor Li, living in Shoukang Palace, crossing the level of concubine, and being promoted two levels at a time. On November 16 of the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, Emperor Guangxu took Concubine Li's "service to Emperor Wenzongxian and called Shushen" as the reason.

Honored as the concubine of the Emperor Li. Concubine Li was frail and sickly, often took Chinese patent medicine and herbal medicine, the effect was not great, and finally died suddenly on November 15, the sixteenth year of Guangxu, at the age of fifty-four, and the golden coffin was temporarily placed in the Tiancun Funeral Palace.

Emperor Guangxu personally went to the golden coffin to drink wine and salute, expressing deep condolences. Concubine Li's funeral was very grand, and she was buried in the Qingding Mausoleum on April 18 of the 19th year.

Also buried at the same time as her was Xu Jia, a concubine who died seven days earlier than her. Concubine Li's treasure top is in the middle of the front row of the garden, which is the most noble position, and the nickname given to Concubine Li after her death is "Concubine Zhuang Jing".
