Life

Family background

Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin's personal name was not recorded in history. She was a member of the Plain Yellow Banner Fuca clan by birth.

Yongzheng era

It is not known when Lady Fuca became a lady-in-waiting of Hongli, the Yongzheng Emperor's fourth son. In 1725, she became his mistress. She gave birth on 5 July 1728 to his first son, Yonghuang, and in May or June 1731 to his second daughter, who would die prematurely in December 1731 or January 1732. Lady Fuca died on 20 August 1735.

Qianlong era

The Yongzheng Emperor died on 8 October 1735 and was succeeded by Hongli, who was enthroned as the Qianlong Emperor. In November or December 1736, the Qianlong Emperor granted Lady Fuca the posthumous title "Consort Zhe". In May 1745, she was posthumously elevated to "Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin" by virtue of her son being the emperor's first son. In 1752, she was interred in the Yu Mausoleum of the Eastern Qing tombs.
