Emperor Gan'an, Consort Zhemin, of the Fuca clan
Lady Fuca was a cousin of Empress Xiaoxianchun. She belonged to the Shaji Fuca clan and was exceptionally beautiful from a young age. Her beauty was noticed by her clan, who then hired palace matrons to carefully instruct her.
In addition, the family hired a former courtesan to teach Lady Fucha the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as how to seduce men.
Fucha was resistant in her heart, but she knew she couldn't resist.
Later, at the age of sixteen, Lady Fuca was presented by her clan to the eldest prince, Hongxu, in the palace. At that time, the eldest prince was already engaged to the eldest granddaughter of Lord Maqi.
Upon entering the First Prince's backyard, Lady Fucha did not use the skills she had learned from the former courtesan to seduce or bewitch him.
Fucha chose to live a quiet and law-abiding life.
Later, the First Princess entered the household and gave birth to the eldest princess. The princesses who served the eldest prince, including Lady Fucha, were also relieved of their contraceptive medication. Soon after, Lady Fucha became pregnant and gave birth to the eldest prince's first son.
Fucha felt apprehensive about this.
For a period of time, Lady Fucha did not step out of her small courtyard for three months.
Later, the wife gave birth to their second son.
A few years later, Lady Fucha became pregnant again and gave birth to the Fifth Princess.
After the eldest prince ascended the throne, he adopted the reign title of Gan'an. His wife was made Empress, and Fucha was made Consort Zhe, ranking third among the four consorts. After the prince's residence, the secondary consorts were Consort Xian, Ulanara, and Consort Ke, Irgen Gioro.
Later, after the Empress passed away, Consort Ke became the Empress Dowager, and Lady Fucha was named Consort Zhe.
After Emperor Gan'an abdicated, Empress Fucha chose to leave the palace and live at her son's residence. There, her son and daughter-in-law were filial, and she enjoyed spending her days with her grandchildren, finding great happiness.
When Empress Fucha passed away, the retired emperor was still at the Yuanmingyuan Palace, fooling around with some of his younger concubines.
Many years after her death, Lady Fucha was posthumously honored as Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin.

Consort Xian, of the Ulanara clan.
Ulanara was born into the Ulanara clan, the imperial family at the time. The empress, who had been favored by Emperor Yonghe for many years, was her aunt.
Uh, the Ulanara clan has two paternal aunts, both born to their step-grandmother, the Gioro clan.
The difference is that her paternal aunt, though possessing stunning beauty, was frustrated and unfulfilled. After marrying Prince Zhi as his secondary wife, she was imprisoned in his residence.
When Ulanara was born, because of her exquisite features, her step-grandmother forcibly took her in and raised her.
Following her grandmother's daily indoctrination of Ulanara, who believed her beauty destined her to marry into the royal family, become a person of high status, and be an empress, Ulanara developed the same traits as her eldest aunt.
A person with a pure and aloof nature.
At eighteen, Ulanara was still not betrothed, and she began to panic. With the help of her stepmother, she devised a plan to seduce the eldest prince, making him believe that they were unable to control their feelings and that their relationship had naturally progressed to the point of sexual relations.
Later, Ulanara married the eldest prince as a secondary consort, just as she had wished.
When she first entered the Prince's residence, Ulanara was full of expectations that she would defeat the First Prince's wife, Fucha, and become the Empress after the First Prince ascended the throne. However, after the First Prince ascended the throne as Emperor Gan'an, Ulanara was only given the title of Consort Xian.
Not even a concubine
Ulanara was unwilling to accept this. Why were Consort Irgen Gioro, who entered the manor a few years later than her, as well as Princess Gao and Princess Fucha, able to be ranked alongside her as imperial concubines?
After much effort, Ulanara rose to the position of Imperial Concubine. However, at this very moment, she fell out of favor. Although she was resentful, she quickly realized that her son had grown up...
If her son becomes the new emperor, she will be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.
However, many years later, Ulanara's son was adopted as the grandson of Prince Zhi, and Emperor Gan'an abdicated in favor of Empress Xiaoxianchun's son. Ulanara died young after a few years of depression.

Consort Hui, née Gao.
Gao Bin's daughter. In which year did Gao select the imperial concubines? Her father's official position was not prominent. Gao thought that even if she was selected, it would only be for a leisurely member of the imperial clan, or to enter the palace as a minor concubine or a minor consort.
Gao Shi didn't have much confidence in herself because she was considered dull and stupid at home, unlike her half-sister who was five years younger than her and who was not as clever as her father, Gao Bin, or her mother.
After the imperial concubine selection, Lady Gao had a stroke of good fortune and was bestowed upon the eldest prince as a princess. At that time, the eldest prince had already married his wife, Lady Fucha, and there were only two princesses in his household. Lady Gao was the third.
After Lady Gao entered the household, the eldest prince took a liking to her for a period of time.
However, soon after, Consort Ulanara entered the mansion, and she became the sole favorite in the inner quarters.
Later, Gao's father was rewarded by the emperor for his successful flood control efforts. The eldest prince began to visit Gao's courtyard occasionally again. Gao herself was infertile, so she served the eldest prince for many years without becoming pregnant.
She suddenly became pregnant when she was twenty years old.
After ten months of pregnancy, Gao gave birth to a daughter, and then she had no more children.
After the eldest prince ascended the throne, Gao's father made great contributions, and Gao was granted the title of Consort Hui, ranking fourth among the four consorts at the time. At that time, Gao thought to herself, "Where am I clever? It's really ironic that the emperor bestowed the title of Consort Hui upon me."
She sat in Consort Hui's position for decades.
After the emperor abdicated, Lady Gao was granted the title of Imperial Concubine, and died of illness at the Yuanmingyuan Imperial Palace a few years later...
