Life

Family background

Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin's personal name was not recorded in history. Her family belong to the Bordered White Banner.

Kangxi Era

It is unclear when Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin was born or when she entered the palace. But on the first day of October in the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to the thirteenth prince Yinxiang. On November 27 in the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to Princess Wenke of the Second Rank. And on the thirtieth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to her last child, Princess Dunke of the Second Rank.
In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, Concubine Min died in Wulong Pavilion in Beihai. In July of that year, the Kangxi Emperor instructed the Minister of Rites to promote Concubine Min to Consort Min posthumously. In September of the same year, Kangxi's third son Yunzhi was demoted to beile for not attending the funeral for Consort Min.
Records show that Consort Min died during the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi and was temporarily buried in the gazed flower gate in the Emperor's mausoleum. The reason for this arrangement is unknown.
On the twenty-sixth of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng, the Yongzheng Emperor instructed the Ministry of Rites to posthumously upgrade Consort Min's title to Sovereign Father's Imperial Noble Consort, and on June 20, her formal posthumous title became Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin. On the first day of September, Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin along with the Kangxi Emperor and Empress Xiaogongren were buried in the Jing Mausoleum in Zunhua City, Hebei Province.
