Consort He (died 18 May 1836) was a consort of the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing dynasty.
Life
Consort He was born a Booi Aha of the Manchu Hoifa (輝發) clan, a subgroup of the Nara clan. Her personal name was not recorded in history. Her father was Chengwen (成文), a qingxian (卿銜; a type of official post).
Lady Hoifa-Nara entered the Forbidden Palace during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor and became a concubine of the emperor's second son, Mianning. In 1808, she gave birth to Mianning's first son, Yiwei (奕緯; 1808-1831), and was granted the title "Prince's Side Chamber Consort" (皇子側福晉).
In 1820, the Jiaqing Emperor died and was succeeded by Mianning, who was enthroned as the Daoguang Emperor. Two years later, Lady Hoifa-Nara was granted the rank of Imperial Concubine under the title "Imperial Concubine He" (和嬪). In 1823, she was promoted to "Consort He" (和妃).
Lady Hoifa-Nara died on 18 May 1836 and was interred in the Mu Mausoleum of the Western Qing tombs.
