The Noble Consort Xun (Chinese: 循贵妃伊尔根觉罗氏) (? - 1797), was the daughter of the Governor General Guilin (Chinese: 总督桂林). She came from the Manchu Yirgen Gioro clan. Lady Yirgen Gioro entered the imperial court on November 18, during the forty-first year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, and was given the title Imperial Concubine with the title Xun (the fifth lowest rank among an emperor's wives). The ceremony for the promtion took place three years later due the death of Qianlong's mother. In December during the fifty-ninth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Yirgen Gioro was elevated to a Consort. On November 20 during the second year of Jiaqing Emperor's reign, Yirgen Gioro died, and on September 11 during the fourth year of Jiaqing Emperor's reign, Yirgen Gioro was buried with the ceremony of a Noble Consort.
