Empress Xiao Yi Chun (Chinese: 孝仪纯皇后魏佳氏), also known as the Gong Shun Empress (Chinese: 恭顺皇后), 1727 - 1775. Xiao Yi Chun came from the Han Chinese Wei clan. Her clan name was later changed to Weigiya during Jiaqing's reign. Her father was Wei Qing Tai. She was born in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign.
Lady Weigiya entered the Qing Dynasty imperial court as a Lady-in-waiting to the Qianlong Emperor in 1745. She was soon given the title of "Worthy Lady Wei" (Chinese: 魏贵人), and was later elevated to the "Imperial Concubine Ling" (Chinese: 令嫔). Between 1746 and 1765, Weigiya was elevated from the "Imperial Consort Ling" (Chinese: 令妃) to the "Imperial Noble Consort Ling" (Chinese: 令贵妃). Weigiya gave in total birth to six children, four sons and two daughters, and among them was the future Jiaqing Emperor.
Weigiya died in the fortieth year of Qianlong's reign and was given the posthumous title of "Imperial Noble Consort Ling-Yi" (Chinese: 令懿皇贵妃) and was interred in the Yu-Ling Mausoleum a little while later. When in 1796 her son ascended the throne as the Jiaqing Emperor, he granted Weigiya the posthumous title "Empress Xiao-Yi-Chun" (Chinese: The Graceful Empress).
