Biography

Lady Chen was given to the Prince Hongli (later the Qianlong Emperor) as a concubine, by the order of Emperor Yongzheng. When Prince Hongli ascended to the throne, Lady Chen was at first given the title Female Attendant Hai (the third-lowest rank among an emperor's wives). During the fourteenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign (1749), Lady Chen was elevated to an Imperial Concubine with the title Wan, and during the fifty-ninth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign (1794), she was again elevated to a Consort. During Emperor Jiaqing's reign, Lady Chen was finally elevated to the rank of a Noble Consort. She died during the twelfth year of the Jiaqing Emperor's reign (1807), aged 92.
