China: Imperial Noble Consort Hui Xian (1711-1745), concubine of the Qianlong Emperor.

The Imperial Noble Consort Hui Xian (1711 - 1745), came from the Manchu Gao clan. Her clan name was later changed to Gaogiya during Emperor Jiaqing's reign. Her father was the Qing Dynasty scholar Gao Bin (died 1755). Lady Gaogiya became an imperial consort of the Qianlong Emperor during Emperor Yongzheng's reign. When in 1735 Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, Lady Gaogiya was granted the title of 'Noble Consort'. Lady Gaogiya died in the tenth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, and was given the posthumous title of Imperial Noble Consort Hui-Xian. Several years later, she was interred in the Yuling mausoleum together with Empress Xiao Xian Chun who died three years after her.
