If Abahai Borjigit were to be married off to her seventh brother, Prince Chun, as a secondary consort, it would strengthen the Khorchin and Abahai tribes, and increase the power behind the Imperial Concubine.
After careful consideration for a long time, Kangxi said in a deep voice: "Prince Chun, Longxi, receive the imperial decree. Abahai Borjigit is hereby granted the title of Consort of Prince Chun. An auspicious day will be chosen for her to enter Prince Chun's residence. Furthermore…"
"Liang Jiugong, convey my decree that the Hesheli family, the Niohuru family, and the Tong family each select a woman of marriageable age to enter the residences of Prince Yu, Prince Gong, and Prince Chun as a princess."

Abahai Borjigit, recommended by the Imperial Concubine, became a concubine of Prince Chun, while Lianzhi, who served by his side, was given to Prince Chun as a princess.
