Empress Xiaojingcheng - As The Daoguang Emperor's Concubine

As The Daoguang Emperor's Concubine

Lady Borjigit entered the Forbidden City at the beginning of the reign of the Daoguang Emperor and was given the title of Noble Lady Jing (靜貴人). On November 22, 1826, Lady Borjigit gave birth to Yikang (奕綱), Daoguang's second son. She was promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine Jing (靜嬪) a month later in December 1826. The four month old Yikang died prematurely on March 5, 1827. Two months later, Lady Borjigit was further promoted to the status of Consort Jing (静妃).

In December 1835 Lady Borjigit was elevated to the rank of Noble Consort Jing (靜貴妃). In 1840, after the death of Empress Xiaoquancheng, she was placed in charge of the Daoguang Emperor's imperial concubines and granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort Jing (靜皇貴妃).
