Biography

Noble Lady Shun was born of the Manchu Niuhuru clan. Her personal name is unknown. Her father was Aibida (愛必達), a Governor-General (總督) and grandson of Ebilun. Lady Niuhuru was born in 1748 during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. She entered the Forbidden City in 1766 and became a concubine of the emperor and was granted the rank of Noble Lady Chang (常貴人).

In 1768 Lady Niuhuru was promoted to Imperial Concubine Shun (順嬪). In 1776 she was elevated to the status of Consort Shun (順妃). The promotion ceremony was set to be held in the following year but was delayed by two years because of the death of the Qianlong Emperor's mother Empress Dowager Chongqing in 1777.

In 1788 Lady Niuhuru was demoted from the rank of Consort Shun to Noble Lady Shun (順貴人) for unknown reasons. She died in the same year and was interred in the Yuling Mausoleum for imperial consorts in the Eastern Qing Tombs.
