This seal is an official seal of the Imperial Concubine Jing Yi of the late Qing Dynasty. It is in a group with the “Treasure of the Imperial Concubine Jing Yi” and the “Quiet Heart and Spring Like” seals, and is stored in a wooden box. The royal concubine of Emperor Jingyi, the Heshri family, was originally appointed as a concubine to serve Emperor Tongzhi. In the 13th year of Tongzhi’s reign (1874), she was appointed as a concubine by Jin, a concubine of Yu. In the 20th year of Guangxu’s reign (1894), she was also appointed as a concubine of Yu. After the succession of Emperor Xuantong, she was appointed as a royal concubine of Emperor Kaoyu in the Jin Dynasty. In 1913, she was honored as a royal concubine of Emperor Jingyi by Pu Yi, the late emperor. She was one of the four famous imperial concubines during the small imperial court period. She has a talented talent and can draw landscapes, write orchids in ink, and write small poems on her own. She is often referred to as the “Lazy Dream Mountain People”. In the “Qing Palace Ci”, there is a poem dedicated to her: “The Lazy Dream Mountain People have a beautiful appearance of ice and snow, and the concubine was honored with honor. Burning incense and embroidering Buddha should spend more time, and painting forest mountains and embellishing small poems on her own.” Her talent and learning are second to none among the empresses of the late Qing Dynasty.
