In Tiancong seven years, in April; Harjol came with Khorchin Mongols' princess (Which is the mother of Empress Xiao Duan wen )to visit Empress Xiao Duan wen and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Hong Taiji saw Harjol, a beautiful, well-educated and skinny women. During that time Khorchin already had sent a lot of women to Hong Taiji (Later Jin Dynasty), because they wanted to consolidate their relationship between Later Jin and Khorchin. However, Express Xiao Duan wen and Empress Xiao Zhuang had a lot of girls, no boys; because in that time, boys represent power. When Hong Taiji talked about that he wanted Harjol to marry him, the Khorchin's Princess immediately lets Harjol marry Hong Taiji, and gave birth to a boy for Hong Taiji. Even though he didn't say anything, Khorchin were nervous about their relationship.

Also, Harjol already was twenty-six years old; in that time; women got married when they are thirteen or older than thirteen. But no older than seventeen.There were no documents to show the reason why Harjol didn't get married when she was young and became leftover women. Other claims said because she got married to Ligdan Khan. Harjol got back to Khorchin because Ligkan Khan's uncle gave Harjor back to them while he wanted to defected with Hong Taiji. But this claims didn't have any document to prove this.

Hong Taiji recited the poem for Harjol " Guan guan" cry the ospreys, on the islet in the river; the beautiful and good young lady, if a find mate for the lord." He though Harjol was the women that poem described, so he sighed the name for Eastern Palace as Guanju Palace( the palace that Harjol lived in).

The reason why Hong Taiji love Harjol

1)Harjol was beautiful; the name "Harjol" means Jade which represents that her beauty is like jade. Also, she is the most beautiful women in Hong Taiji's harem.

2)The first child that Harjol gave birth was a boy, which means she got power from her son. Since the Empress Xiao Duan wen and Xiao Zhuang that their child was girls. Also, because Hong Taiji already loves Harjol, and she gave a son to him; the more he loved her.

3) It was because their son died in few months after he born, and Harjol's health was weak. Because of her son died, she got ill and never recover.

onsort Chen Princess's titles have never happened.

"In October (Winter), Ji Shi considered Consort Chen for canonization as First Consort Minhuigonghe" It means Harjol was His first wife, but it was not because before Harjol, he married with a lot of women. Hong Taiji dubbed Harjol as "First Consort Minhuigonghe" showed that how much he loved her. Also, Harjor"s title was longer than other concubines, and it never happened in Qing Dynasty.

Re-write
Harjol was born of the Mongol Borjigit clan around 1609 to her father Jaisang (寨桑), a beile of the Khorchin Mongols and an unnamed woman. Her personal name, Harjol, means "jade" in the Manchu language. In 1634 Harjol traveled with the mother of Empress Xiaoduanwen to the Mukden Palace in present-day Shenyang, Liaoning, as she was intended to become a consort to Emperor Hong Taiji. Prior to this the Khorchin had sent Hong Taiji two other women, Harjol's aunt Jerjer (the Empress Xiaduanwen) and younger sister Bumbutai, to become his wives in order to strengthen the relationship between the Emperor and their Khorchin. Harjol was 26 years old when she was wed to Hong Taiji, placing her out of the typical age women married during the time period, which was between 13 - 17 years. There are no documents that conclusively prove why Harjol did not marry while she was younger, but some claims state that she had previously been wed to a Khorchin warrior, Zhuolin (桌林), and was wed to Hong Taiji after her first husband's death.

Harjol was deeply favoured by Hong Taiji although she did not seem to reciprocate these feelings in the early years of their marriage. Hong Taiji so favored Harjol that when he conferred titles on his five primary spouses in 1636, he named Harjol Consort Chen (宸妃) of Guansui Palace (關睢宮) and was given the position as the head of the concubines, a high ranking position that placed her just below her aunt, the Empress. The following year, in 1637, Harjol gave birth to a boy, making him the Emperor's eighth son. The child did not live long and died less than a year later. Harjol was left in weak health and became seriously ill three years later. Upon hearing news that Harjol was on her deathbed, Hong Taiji reportedly left an active battlefield to be by her side. Harjol died in 1641 and was interred in the Zhao Mausoleum in Shenyang. Her death devastated Hong Taiji, who spent much of his time mourning her, to the detriment of his rapidly deteriorating health, and granted her the posthumous title of "First Consort Minhuigonghe" (敏惠恭和元妃).
