Lady Hesheri was born in the 9th day of the 12th lunar month of the 12th year of Jiaqing era, which translates to 31 December 1808 in the Gregorian calendar.
Lady Hesheri entered the Forbidden City between 1822 and 1825. Upon the entry, she was granted a title "Noble Lady Zhen" (珍贵人; "zhen" meaning "pearl", "precious"). Noble Lady Zhen was promoted to "Concubine Zhen" (珍嫔) in May 1825.[4] and to "Consort Zhen" (珍妃) in September 1825.[5] She was demoted to "Concubine Zhen" (珍嫔) during her visit in Yuanmingyuan in 1826 because her Yanxi palace used a coach with four horses. Concubine Zhen didn't reflect herself well after her first demotion, so she was demoted to "Noble Lady Chang" in 1830 (常贵人, "chang" meaning "ordinary", "common"), and moved to Xianfu Palace on the western side of the Forbidden City. She remained childless during the Daoguang era. The Daoguang Emperor died on 26 February 1850.
After the enthronement of Xianfeng Emperor, Lady Hesheri was restored as "Concubine Chang" (常嫔).[6] She lived in Shoukang palace in the western part of the Forbidden City. She died on 10 May 1860 in the Garden of Elegant Spring in Yuanmingyuan. She was posthumously granted a title "Consort Chang" (常妃) by the Tongzhi Emperor, the son of the Xianfeng Emperor.
