From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Consort Shu (Chinese: 舒妃叶赫那拉氏), (1728–1777), came from the Manchu Yehenara clan. Yehenara was born on June 1, 1728, which was the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign. Lady Yehenara entered the imperial court when she was 14 years old during the sixth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, and was given the title Worthy Lady (the sixth lowest rank among an emperor's wives). In November the same year, Lady Yehenara was elevated to an Imperial Concubine, and was given the title Shu (meaning comfort). In April during the fourteenth year of Qianlong's reign, Lady Yehenara was promted to a consort. During the sixteenth year of Qianlong's reign, Lady Yehenara gave birth to a son, prince Yong Yue who died in infancy. Yehenara died on July 4, during the forty-second year of Qianlong's reign, aged 49.
