According to historical records, only 55 women were officially awarded titles during the Kangxi period. These don't include the women Kangxi has been fooling around in the harem. There are almost more than 3000 people.

It is reported that every time Kangxi cruised outside the palace and visited incognito, in fact, one of his purposes was to find some beautiful and talented women among the people. In order to find these other women that Kangxi fell in love with, he took them back to the harem and became his own woman. However, if Kangxi worked diligently every day during his reign and always thought about the country and people at dawn, he would have no time to manage the 3,000 beauties in the harem. But in fact, the number of women and their children left by Emperor Kangxi is very large, which can be said to be an indisputable fact. Kangxi had 35 sons and 20 daughters in his life, a total of 55 children.
Another missionary, Italian Ma Guoxian, came to China to spread his teachings in the last years of Kangxi. Ma Guoxian's paintings are very good and deeply loved and appreciated by Kangxi, so he was invited to the palace to paint for Kangxi and his concubine. Later, Kangxi called Ma Guoxian to Jehol Summer Resort and asked him to paint 36 scenes. His paintings were very good and were appreciated by Kangxi. Later, Ma Guoxian preached and wanted to return to Europe. In the early years of Yongzheng, he left behind what he saw and heard in the palace when Kangxi was in power, and wrote a book "Memories of the Thirteen Years of the Qing Court", which recorded and described the life of Emperor Kangxi and his concubines in Jehol.
Empress Kangxi
In Kangxi's life, there were many women, some fell in love occasionally, some were unforgettable, some had memories of your whereabouts, and some were separated from each other. The queen in the royal family is the emperor's favorite person. Kangxi had four queens in his life. They are Hersey Rihara, Niu Hulu, Tong Jiashi and Wu Yashi. After all, they are all famous families, and Kangxi has deep feelings for them.

The first empress of Kangxi was Hershey Jihala, the granddaughter of Sony, and Empress Xiao Chengren. At that time, there were many candidates for the Queen, but in order to consider the camp and various factors, Sony, the first of the four lifesaving ministers, was finally chosen. After weighing the pros and cons, his granddaughter Hezeli Hara was chosen as the queen. The Sony family is absolutely loyal to the Qing Dynasty and Kangxi. Moreover, in the struggle against Ao Bai at that time, the Sony family also made many contributions. Therefore, Hersaizhhara was favored by Kangxi. Niu Hulu's name is Empress Xiao Zhaoren. She is a woman holding a yellow flag, the daughter of a senior official and a senior assistant minister, and the adopted daughter of Ao Bai. She is the second queen of Kangxi. Tong Jiashi was queen for only one day and died the next day. Finally, the filial piety queen Wu Yashi is the daughter of captain Wei, who is the standard bearer. Later, I gave birth to a child to Kangxi.
It can be seen that in the former palace, the position of queen was not only loved by the emperor, but also had a certain political background, which could help the emperor in political affairs outside the palace. Generally speaking, the empress family has a high political status and has its own power in the court, which can help the emperor consolidate the throne and expand the territory.
Kangxi's concubine
Kangxi was passionate all his life. Besides the four queens, there are many concubines. From a certain point of view, he is also a more affectionate person. Kangxi's favorite concubine is De Fei. She can be regarded as the most virtuous concubine in the harem in history, so not only her appearance, but also De Fei deeply attracted Emperor Kangxi in many aspects.

De Fei came from humble origins. She is not as prominent as the queen and other concubines, but has the infinite love of Emperor Kangxi. De Fei gave birth to three sons and three daughters for Kangxi in her life. In the fierce battle at that time, with a series of wrists and Kangxi's favor, the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi, the son of De Fei, successfully ascended the throne, that is, Yongzheng.
In addition to having the most children for Kangxi, Princess De has a strong personality charm, otherwise she would not be so obsessed with Emperor Kangxi. Among the four concubines of Kangxi, Princess De was the youngest, but she came from behind with the fastest speed and gained a firm foothold in the harem. Kangxi's love for Princess De was also different from other concubines. Generally speaking, there is a certain age limit for concubines to have children. At the age, the next batch of new concubines should have children. However, at that time, De Fei had a child at the age of 29. It can be seen that Kangxi loves Princess De. Moreover, Kangxi took good care of Princess De, even when traveling far away. During the long journey, he also asked Princess De, the eunuch, how she was doing in the palace, which showed that his love was really extraordinary. De Fei is the gentlest, kind and virtuous concubine in the harem. Her behavior is dignified and virtuous, respectful and gentle, so she was named Princess De, and the word "De" shows that her virtue is an example.
Who is Kangxi's favorite woman?
Kangxi had a favorite woman in his life, and that was his wife Hesse Rihara. Hezeli Hara is the granddaughter of Sony, the first of the four assistant ministers, and her father is Gabla, the eldest son of Sony Minister. In the fourth year of Kangxi, that is, 1665, Hershey Hala was only 13 years old, but Kangxi was three months younger than Hershey Hala. That year, the two of them got married and Hezeli-hara was awarded the title of Queen.
For example, Hesse Rihara.
In the eighth year of Kangxi, 1669, Hesse Rihara gave birth to a prince, but the prince died at the age of four. In the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Hersaizhhara died after giving birth to a child. However, Kangxi deeply loved Hersaizhhara, and the husband and wife loved each other. Kangxi held a very grand funeral for hershey Hala. During Yongzheng period, posthumous title's "Empress Renxiao" was changed to "Empress Filial Piety". All in all, this is a compliment to Heserihara. Because of his deep love for Hersaizhhara, Kangxi also made their eldest son the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty.
The death of Hezeli Hara caused heavy mental damage to Kangxi. Kangxi was very sad and missed it, so in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, he placed Zigong in the west of the Forbidden City. From that day on, Kangxi went to Zigong every day to miss Hershey Hara and express his grief. Later, Emperor Kangxi personally sent Hesse Rihara to Miyagi, and the frequency of Kangxi's visit to Miyagi was shocking. From these things, we can see that Kangxi really loves Hershey Hara. Although he lives far apart, he can't give up his thoughts on two people.
