Noble Consort Yimu (Chinese: 懿穆貴妃, pinyin: Yì mù guìfēi; d. 1103) of the Xing clan, was a Chinese imperial concubine of Emperor Shenzong of the Song dynasty.[1]
Life
[edit]Lady Xing's given name was not recorded in the history. Also, where she was born or who her parents were is still being determined. She entered the palace and became a servant. The Shenzong Emperor began favouring her and made her one of his concubines. On 21 June 1071, Xiang gave birth to Shenzong's 2nd son, Zhao Jin, who would die prematurely two days later, on 23 June. She was promoted to a Chongrong (充容) and gave birth to another son on 15 July 1074, Zhao Xian. The 5th Prince Zhao Xian would die prematurely on 26 January 1076. Xiang was further promoted to a Wanyi (婉儀), 5th rank Imperial Concubine. Concubine Xian had two more sons, Zhao Jia, born on 7 February 1077, and Zhao Ti, born in 1078. Neither survived to adulthood.[1]
After her husband died, his successor Zhao Xu elevated her to the rank of Able Consort (賢妃; pinyin: xián fēi) in 1085 and Noble Consort (貴妃; pinyin: guì fēi). Noble Consort Ziang died in 1103 and Emperor Huizong honoured her as Noble Consort Yimu (懿穆貴妃).[1]
