Concubines in the Qing Dynasty generally entered the palace through draft, so what other ways are there to "enter the palace" besides draft?

Generally speaking, the concubines in the imperial harem of Qing Dynasty were mainly in the draft, which was actually beneficial to the overall quality of concubines in the imperial harem, and was also a means that Manchu thought to maintain the purity of Qing lineage. But in fact, in addition to the draft, there are other ways for harem concubines, such as Manchu-Mongolian marriage, national tribute and local officials offering beautiful women. In short, the draft is the most official way to enter the palace, but there are many other ways besides this way.

Let's talk about this first kind of direct breach of contract. For example, after the first Shunzhi, it directly refers to the marriage through Dourgen, which is also a marriage between Manchu and Mongolian in the eyes of outsiders. As we all know, although Shunzhi is young, he has been rebellious since he was a child. He was very dissatisfied with the queen that Dourgen gave him. Finally? Incompetence? Abolish this Queen Borzijit.

As for the women who sacrificed in Fanbang, we have to mention the He Zhuo family in Gan Long. She has just returned to Xinjiang to offer sacrifices to Gan Long? A gift? . Because this and Zhuo's family are full of exotic customs, they are deeply loved by Qianlong. There are also many rumors about this Hezhuo family, such as that she was born with a strange smell, such as that she entered the palace at the age of an old woman because she married someone, and so on. But in any case, Ganlong loves her far more than other concubines of Manchu, Mongolian and Han, such as allowing her to wear her own clothes and inviting her back and forth to Xinjiang, which fully illustrates this point? Big pig's feet? I still like this exotic woman very much.

In addition to the above two ways, the harem of the Qing Dynasty was also full of beautiful women who were painstakingly pursued by local officials, in fact, all to please the king. As Kangxi Qianlong liked Jiangnan so much, how could Jiangnan officials be ignorant and dedicate some local beauties to the emperor?
