Later, Imperial Noble Consort Xu Muer was made Empress.
Tong Jia Lian'er remained in the position of Imperial Concubine for nearly thirty years, from the twenty-second year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign to the fifty-first year. After that, the Kangxi Emperor abdicated and became the Retired Emperor, taking his concubines to the Yuanmingyuan Palace.
Before the Emperor Emeritus passed away, he promoted the ranks of the concubines in the harem who held lower positions.
Afterwards, the Empress Dowager was honored as the Empress Dowager Mother, and Tongjia Lian'er was also honored as the Imperial Noble Consort Quehui. A few years later, Tongjia Lian'er passed away in the Cining Palace.
Because he couldn't bear to part with the Empress Dowager, he stayed with her in the Cining Palace.
Tong Jia Lian'er raised a son and a daughter, and also cared for the seventeenth princess for several years. Her life was relatively smooth. In her later years, Tong Jia Lian'er was surrounded by her children and grandchildren, enjoying a peaceful and happy old age.
Tong Jialian'er lived for over sixty years, enduring hardship for a few years before enjoying a life of happiness.
After entering the palace, although she did not have any children of her own, she raised princes and princesses. As a high-ranking concubine, she and Empress Dowager Xu Muer were like sisters for life.
Although he had broken with his mother's clan, later...
Perhaps because of her advanced age, Tong Jialian'er's intense hatred from her youth has gradually faded away. She still dislikes Tong Guowei's lineage, but she helps and supports her uncle Tong Guogang's lineage.
Tongjia Lian'er chose a daughter from a collateral branch of the Tongjia clan as a princess for her adopted son, Yinxiang. Later, she also plotted to marry Princess Heshuo Wenxian, the daughter of Consort Gong, née Niu, to the son of her cousin, Orondai.
During the years she was the Imperial Concubine Taishang Que, the son of another cousin from her uncle's family married the daughter of Consort Liu, Princess Heshuo Minjing.
And, the daughter of her third cousin married the then Noble Lady Xiang, who later became the son of the late Emperor Xiang and the late Emperor Xiangfei, and the 20th Prince Yinqi became her wife.
The 20th Prince, Yinqi, was initially granted the title of Gushan Beizi, and was promoted to Beile. By the time Tongjia Lian'er passed away, he had become Prince Mu.
In addition, the son of my uncle Tong Guogang's fourth cousin also married the youngest daughter of the Empress Dowager, Princess Gulun Chenshu, in the eighth year of the Yonghe reign...
My uncle Tong Guogang's lineage produced three imperial consorts, one of whom was a prince's wife.
As for Tong Jia Lian'er's father, Tong Guowei's lineage, apart from Tong Jia Lian'er and her two elder sisters who entered the palace as concubines, none of their descendants were particularly outstanding. In fact, during the years when Tong Jia Lian'er was the Supreme Consort, the lineage had already begun to decline.
When Tong Jialian'er passed away, Tong Guowei's lineage had already withdrawn from the top aristocratic circles of Beijing.
According to Volume 67 of the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty: Consorts and Consorts", Consort Quehui of the Qing Dynasty, of the Tongjia clan, suffered many hardships in her childhood. She entered the palace as a consort and broke with her father, Tong Guowei. She was unable to have children and raised the thirteenth prince, Yinxiang, of the Qing Dynasty. She was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort and died peacefully in her old age.
