Lady Le, also known as Lady Le, became pregnant while she was serving as Lady Le. The then-Consort Yu spoke on her behalf, after which Lady Le was moved from Xianfu Palace to Consort Yu's Yikun Palace.
Consort Yu, of the Xu Muer clan, was a very good palace lady. Under Consort Yu's protection, Lady Xile gave birth to the Ninth Prince safely. Later, Consort Yu was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort because she gave birth to the Tenth and Eleventh Princes.
A few years later, Lady Xile was granted the title of Consort Xin and continued to live in the rear hall of Yikun Palace.
In the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the Imperial Noble Consort was elevated to Empress. Lady Hiller and another concubine, Consort Shun, who resided in the rear hall of Yikun Palace, moved out of Yikun Palace. Lady Hiller then moved into Yonghe Palace, one of the Six Eastern Palaces, becoming the principal consort of that palace.
The ninth prince, son of the Xile clan, married a princess, Wanyan.
Years later, Emperor Kangxi abdicated and became the Retired Emperor. Lady Xile moved to the Changchun Garden Imperial Palace with the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager. Ten years later, the Retired Emperor passed away, and Emperor Yonghe posthumously conferred upon Lady Xile the title of Imperial Concubine Xin, and permitted her to live in her son's residence.
Hiller's son was taught to be quite ordinary and had no great abilities; he was merely a prince.

Consort Ding, of the Wanliuha clan
In the fourteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Wanliuha entered the palace through a preliminary selection process by the Imperial Household Department. After learning the rules, she was assigned to serve in the Yikun Palace, which was then occupied by Consort Yu, Xu Muer.
After spending several years in Yikun Palace, Wanliuha felt she was drawing too much attention there, so she found a way to leave and took a job at the Imperial Household Department.
Although the work in the Imperial Household Department was arduous, it allowed one to stay away from Emperor Kangxi.
After observing the palace for several years, Wanliuhashi realized that few of the concubines of Emperor Kangxi, especially those who came from humble backgrounds as palace maids, met a good end. Wanliuhashi was very afraid of death, so she chose to avoid it.
Before he knew it, Wanliuhashi turned twenty-four.
That year, by chance, Wanliuha was favored by the drunken emperor and subsequently given the title of "Daying" (a low-ranking concubine), and moved into Yongshou Palace. After just one encounter, Wanliuha became pregnant.
Knowing that she had no hope of leaving the palace, Lady Wanliuha kept the child. Later, Consort Yu arranged for Lady Wanliuha to stay in Chengqian Palace, which was then the residence of Consort Que, to prepare for childbirth. Lady Wanliuha gave birth to a prince in Chengqian Palace.
After the little prince's one-month celebration, Wanliuha was granted the title of Consort Wan, and a few years later she was granted the title of Consort Ding.
Wanliuha's son was also ranked as the twelfth prince and given the name Yintao.
Lady Wanliuha remained in the position of Noble Lady for many years. It was only after Emperor Kangxi abdicated and became the Retired Emperor that Lady Wanliuha was granted the title of Consort Ding.
After ten years at the Changchun Garden Imperial Palace, the retired emperor passed away, and Lady Wanliuha was honored as the Imperial Concubine Ding by the succeeding emperor.
About ten years later, Lady Wanliuha passed away at her son Yintao's residence.
