Consort Ning

Consort Ning (寧妃 武氏; died 25 June 1734) was a consort of the Yongzheng Emperor.

Life

Family background

Consort Ning was a member of the Han Chinese Bordered Yellow Banner Wu clan. It was said that the Wu clan descended from the Ming dynasty or was initially named Lingyuan (令媛).[1] Her family came from Shanxi.

Her father, Wu Zhuguo (武柱国), served as magistrate of Taizhou (泰州知州, Pinyin: Taizhou zhi zhou).[2]

Yongzheng era

In 1733, Lady Wu entered the Forbidden City as Concubine Ning (宁嫔, "ning" meaning "calm") after the Elegant Women selection. The selection was set in the third lunar month, unlike in previous years, when it was set in twelfth lunar month. In 1734, Concubine Ning was supposed to be promoted to Consort Ning (宁妃). [3] Lady Wu died before the promotion ceremony and was given a funeral befitting a consort. Her funeral ceremony was similar to the funeral of the Kangxi Emperor's Consort Liang.[4] Consort Ning's coffin was interred in the Tai Mausoleum in the Western Qing tombs.
