Life

Family background

Noble Consort Xun's personal name was not recorded in history.

Qianlong era

The future Noble Consort Xun was born on the 28th day of the ninth lunar month in the 23rd year of the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, which translates to 29 October 1758 in the Gregorian calendar.

On 28 December 1776, Lady Irgen Gioro entered the Forbidden City and was granted the title "Concubine Xun" by the Qianlong Emperor. It is not known when she was demoted to "Noble Lady". On 14 November 1779, she was restored as "Concubine Xun". In December 1794 or January 1795, she was elevated to "Consort Xun".

Jiaqing era

Lady Irgen Gioro died on 10 January 1798 during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor, the Qianlong Emperor's 15th son. The Jiaqing Emperor posthumously elevated her to "Noble Consort Xun" and arranged for her a funeral befitting that of a Noble Consort.
