Imperial Noble Consort Jingyi

Who is Imperial Noble Consort Jingyi?

Imperial Noble Consort Jingyi née Heseri was an Imperial concubine of the Tongzhi Emperor.

When the time came for Puyi to marry, Consort Jin and Dowager Consort Jingyi had an argument over who should be the empress. Consort Jin favoured Wanrong while Jinyi preferred Wenxiu. In Consort Jin's opinion, Wenxiu was not beautiful enough to be empress and she came from a lesser family background as compared to Wanrong. Despite so, Puyi's first choice was Wenxiu, and this frustrated Consort Jin. She held a discussion with other nobles and officials in the imperial court, and they succeeded in persuading Puyi to select Wanrong as his empress and name Wenxiu as a consort.
