Emperor Yonghe posthumously conferred upon Lady Yu the title of Imperial Noble Consort Jin, and after serving as a Noble Consort Dowager for several years, Lady Yu passed away in Shou Kang Palace. Her daughter, though childless, lived a peaceful life in the Ongniud tribe.

Consort Chen
Lady Chen was the daughter of Chen Yanjing, the Left Censor-in-Chief, and came from a family of civil officials.
Because Chen's father was an official who relied on his eloquence to impeach court officials and concubines, Chen was exposed to this from a young age and became very familiar with everything that happened in the palace.
When Chen and eight others first entered the palace...
Madam Chen knew that Consort Yu, who held the highest rank in the palace and had the most children, did not come from a high social standing. She had once been a palace maid of Empress Xiaocheng. Because she gave birth to triplets, a boy and a girl, and then had a series of sons and daughters, she rose from a palace maid to a concubine, then a concubine, then a consort, and finally a noble consort.
Knowing that Consort Yu had two children, Chen discovered her destiny to become a celestial being and went to the heavens to study immortal arts.
However, none of this affected Chen's deep-seated contempt for Consort Yu.
Lady Chen was somewhat arrogant. Even after several years in the palace, her arrogance remained. She believed that her birth, her status as a concubine, and even a noble consort or imperial noble consort, made her capable of becoming empress.
In the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Lady Chen gave birth to the fourteenth prince and was granted the title of Noble Lady De.
Chen always believed that it was Xu Muer, who was already an Imperial Noble Consort at the time, who deliberately suppressed her rank, and therefore she harbored resentment towards the Imperial Noble Consort.
A year later, Chen was granted the title of Consort De.
Lady Chen harbored deep hopes of becoming Empress, or at least rising to the highest rank in the Qing Dynasty through her son's success. Therefore, she rigorously educated her only son, the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen, and, through Chen Yanjing's connections, invited renowned scholars...
In the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the Imperial Noble Consort gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and was made Empress. In the same year, Lady Chen was also granted the title of Consort De.
Empress?
At the time, Chen did not pay attention, because her idea was that Kangxi's first two empresses had not been on the throne for long, and she wanted to become the Empress Dowager by virtue of her son's status.
In the 48th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the emperor ordered the Fourth Prince to oversee the country in Beijing. Empress Chen used her influence to keep the Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen, in Beijing to assist the Fourth Prince. However, a month after Empress Chen, the Kangxi Emperor, and Empress Xu Mu'er went to the Chengde Mountain Resort…
The Fourteenth Prince, along with his daughter-in-law, Lady Wanyan, and his grandchildren, were all packed up and sent to the Chengde Mountain Resort.
It was also at this time that Lady Chen was demoted to the rank of concubine and stripped of her title. The Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen, also fell ill. Upon returning to the palace, Yinzhen's personality changed drastically, and he began to distinguish himself in court.
Thanks to her son's influence, Lady Chen was reinstated as Consort De and restored to the status of Imperial Concubine De.
Just as Chen was full of hope, Emperor Kangxi suddenly abdicated. At this time, Chen's son was the first prince to kneel and bow to the Fourth Prince, and she could not bear such a blow.
Chen has gone mad.
After half a year or a year of living in a state of madness, Chen passed away!
