Concubine Yi (? – 1 November 1736), of the Han Chinese Plain Yellow Banner, was a consort of Qianlong Emperor.
Concubine Yi was a Han Chinese Booi Aha of Plain Yellow Banner. Her ancestral home was in Suzhou.
In 1727, Lady Huang entered Prince Bao's Mansion, the residence of Hongli, as a mistress. She was versed in embroidery, weaving and Confucian philosophy ("Rules of a Woman" and "The Principles of Self-Discipline").[1]
After Hongli's ascension as the Qianlong Emperor, Lady Huang was granted the rank of concubine (嫔) and her family's status was raised from xinzheku (辛者庫) to booi aha. In October 1735, Lady Huang fell ill while Empress Fuca, Noble Consort Gao and other imperial consorts visited the Tiancun Funeral Palace.[2] Lady Huang died on 1 November 1736. She was posthumously honoured as "Concubine Yi" (仪嫔; "yi" meaning "righteous").[3]
