[edit] Biography
Lady Wang entered the imperial court aged 17, on October 18, during the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign, and was given the title Female attendant Yong (the third lowest rank of Emperor's wives). She was 36 years younger than the Qianlong Emperor. On December 17, during the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, Lady Wang was elevated to Worthy Lady Yong (the sixth lowest rank of Emperor's wives). On October 10 the following year, Lady Wang was promoted to an Imperial Concubine, and finally, in September during the fourteenth year of Qianlong's reign, she was elevated to a Consort. During the same year, Lady Wang gave birth to the tenth daughter of the Emperor. During the forty-third year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Lady Wang was demoted to an Imperial Concubine because she had beaten a servantmaid to death. Three years later, Lady Wang was restored to a Consort, and she died during the eleventh year of Emperor Jia Qing's reign, aged 61.
