Life

Family background

edit

Imperial Noble Consort Heyu's personal name wasn't recorded in history. She came from Han Chinese Bordered White Banner Liu clan, later manchurised to Liugiya (刘佳).

Father: Mingfu (明福), served as baitangga.[1]

Qianlong era

edit

Lady Liugiya was born on the 21st day of 12th lunar month of 26th year of the Qianlong era, which translates to 9 January 1761 in the Gregorian calendar. In 1776, she married Yongyan, Qianlong Emperor's fifteenth son and became his mistress (Chinese: 格格; pinyin: gege). On 4 February 1779, she gave birth to Yongyan's first son, Prince Mu of the Second Rank (穆郡王), who would die prematurely in 1780. On 30 January 1782, she gave birth to Princess Zhuangjing of the Second Rank (庄敬和硕公主), Yongyan's third daughter.[2]

Jiaqing era

edit

After the coronation of Jiaqing Emperor, Lady Liu was granted a title "Consort Xian"(咸妃; "xian" meaning "truthful").[3] On 24 December 1801, Consort Xian's daughter married Mongolian prince Sodnamdorji of the Khorchin Borjigit clan. In January 1808, Lady Liu was elevated to "Noble Consort Xian" (諴贵妃).[4] Her residence in the Forbidden City was Palace of Earthly Honour.[5]

Daoguang era

edit

After the enthronement of Daoguang Emperor in 1820, Noble Consort Xian was promoted to "Dowager Imperial Noble Consort Xianxi" (𫍯禧皇贵太妃; "xianxi" meaning "truthful and happy"). Lady Liu died on 27 April 1834 at the age of 73. She was posthumously bestowed a title "Imperial Noble Consort Heyu" (和裕皇贵妃; "heyu" meaning "harmonious and prosperous").[6] The son of Princess Zhuangjing of the Second Rank, Sengge Rinchen (僧格林沁), was ordered to wear mourning garment for his maternal grandmother's funeral. In 1835, she was interred at the Chang Mausoleum in the Western Qing Tombs.[7]
