Daoguang era

edit

Lady Irgen Gioro was born on 6 July 1837. When her father died in June 1838, Lady Irgen Gioro and her mother, lady Luo, lived in poverty, enjoying an income of 1 tael monthly. Since 1839, Lady Irgen Gioro with her mother have been receiving a social rent consisting of money and crops.[5]

Xianfeng Era

edit

Lady Irgen Gioro entered the imperial harem in September 1853 and was bestowed a title of First Class Female Attendant Rong (ようつねざい; tolerant, pretty).[6] Her half-length portrait was hung in the Ruyi pavilion (如意にょいだて) shortly after the entry.[7] In November 1855, First Attendant Rong was promoted to Noble Lady Rong (よう貴人きじん)[8] together with majority of Xianfeng Emperor's concubines.[9] She remained childless during the Xianfeng era.

Tongzhi era

edit

Noble Lady Rong was promoted to Dowager Concubine Rong (皇考こうこうよう嬪) in 1861.[10] Although Noble Lady Rong was conferred a title of Concubine, Ministry of Internal Affairs delayed production of sedan chair and gilded promotional document, which was investigated by Ministry of Rites in 1868.[11]

Concubine Rong died on 21 June 1869. Her coffin was transferred to Ji'an study for lying in state. Consort Xi and Consort Qing left the Imperial Palace so as to guard Concubine Rong's coffin.[12] The coffin was temporarily placed in the Tiancun village and thereafter interred in Ding Mausoleum of Eastern Qing tombs.[13] Concubine Rong's personal maids were married off.[14]
