Noble Consort Xin (died 1764) was a consort of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty.
Life
Noble Consort Xin was born in the Manchu Daigiya (戴佳) clan, which was under the Bordered Yellow Banner. Her personal name is unknown. Her father, Nasutu (那蘇圖), served as the Secretary of Defence and Secretary of Justice between 1736 and 1740, Viceroy of Liangjiang between 1737 and 1741, Viceroy of Min-Zhe between 1742 and 1743, and Viceroy of Liangguang between 1744 and 1745.
Lady Daigiya entered the Forbidden City in 1753 after being selected to join the Qianlong Emperor's imperial harem. On the order of Empress Dowager Chongqing (the emperor's mother), she was given the rank of Imperial Concubine under the title "Imperial Concubine Xin" (忻嬪). In 1755, she gave birth to the Qianlong Emperor's sixth daughter. Three years later, she bore the Qianlong Emperor's eighth daughter. However, both her daughters died prematurely.
In 1763, Lady Daigiya was promoted to "Consort Xin". She died in the following year and was posthumously promoted to "Noble Consort Xin" and given a funeral befitting a Noble Consort. In 1765, she was interred in the Yuling Mausoleum at the Eastern Qing tombs.
