consort dun

consort dun -lrb- 1746 -- 1806 -rrb- was a consort of the qianlong emperor of the qing dynasty .
consort dun was born of the manchu wang -lrb- 汪 -rrb- clan .
her personal name is unknown .
her father was sige -lrb- 四格 -rrb- , a commander -lrb- 都統 -rrb- of the plain white banner of the eight banners .
lady wang entered the forbidden city in 1762 during the qianlong emperor 's reign .
she was chosen to join the imperial harem and was given the rank of first class female attendant yong -lrb- 永常在 -rrb- .
in 1770 she was promoted to the position of imperial concubine dun -lrb- 惇嬪 -rrb- .
in 1775 lady wang gave birth to the qianlong emperor 's tenth daughter gurun princess hexiao .
the qianlong emperor was very fond of the princess and he started showing favour towards lady wang .
a year later in 1776 , lady wang was elevated to the status of consort dun -lrb- 惇妃 -rrb- .
in 1778 lady wang had a palace maid severely beaten for making a minor mistake and the maid died from her injuries .
homicide was a grave offence under the laws of the qing dynasty and lady wang ought to be harshly punished .
however , in consideration of how gurun princess hexiao would be affected if her mother was heavily penalised , the qianlong emperor eventually decided to demote lady wang to the rank of imperial concubine dun .
lady wang was also ordered to compensate the maid 's family with 100 taels of silver , and pay half of the financial penalty levied on her servants , whose salaries were suspended for a year or two .
two years later in 1780 lady wang was restored to her status as a consort .
lady wang died in 1806 during the reign of the jiaqing emperor , the qianlong emperor 's successor .
she was interred in the yuling mausoleum -lrb- 裕陵 -rrb- for the qing emperors ' concubines .
