Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin (敬敏皇贵妃; Pinyin: Jìngmǐn huáng guìfēi) was a concubine of the Kangxi Emperor.

Life

It is unclear when Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin was born or when she entered the palace. But on the first day of October in the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi (1686), she gave birth to the thirteenth prince Yinxiang. On November 27 in the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to Princess Wenke of the Second Rank (和碩溫恪公主). And on the thirtieth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to her last child, Princess Dunke of the Second Rank (和碩敦恪公主).

In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, Concubine Min died in Wulong Pavilion in Beihai. In July of that year, the Kangxi Emperor instructed the Minister of Ritual to promote Concubine Min to Consort Min (敏妃) posthumously. In September of the same year, Kangxi's third son Yunzhi was demoted to beile for not attending the funeral for Consort Min.

Records show that Consort Min during the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi and was temporarily buried in the gazed flower gate in the Emperor's mausoleum. The reason for this arrangement is unknown.

On the twenty-sixth of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng instructed the ministry of rites to posthumously appoint Consort Min as Imperial Noble Consort Huangkao (皇考皇贵妃). On June 20, her posthumous title was changed to Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin (敬敏皇贵妃). On the first day of September, Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin along with the Kangxi Emperor and Empress Xiaogongren were buried in the Jingling Mausoleum in Zunhua City, Hebei Province.
