Kangxi Era

It is unclear when Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin was born or when she entered the palace. But on the first day of October in the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi (1686), she gave birth to the thirteenth prince Yinxiang. On November 27 in the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to Princess Wenke of the Second Rank (和碩溫恪公主). And on the thirtieth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to her last child, Princess Dunke of the Second Rank (和碩敦恪公主).

In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, Concubine Min died in Wulong Pavilion in Beihai. In July of that year, the Kangxi Emperor instructed the Minister of Ritual to promote Concubine Min to Consort Min (敏妃) posthumously. In September of the same year, Kangxi's third son Yunzhi was demoted to beile for not attending the funeral for Consort Min.

Records show that Consort Min during the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi and was temporarily buried in the gazed flower gate in the Emperor's mausoleum. The reason for this arrangement is unknown.

On the twenty-sixth of the first month of the first year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng instructed the ministry of rites to posthumously appoint Consort Min as Imperial Noble Consort Huangkao (皇考皇贵妃). On June 20, her posthumous title was changed to Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin (敬敏皇贵妃). On the first day of September, Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin along with the Kangxi Emperor and Empress Xiaogongren were buried in the Jingling Mausoleum in Zunhua City, Hebei Province.

生平

出生年份不詳，何時入宮亦不詳。康熙二十五年（1686年）十月初一日辰時，章佳氏生皇十三子胤祥。康熙二十六年十一月二十七日醜時，生皇十三女和碩溫恪公主。康熙二十八年，內務府為兩位新封的嬪級主位，派出內管領，即章佳氏與皇八子允禩生母衛氏。康熙帝後宮中，其嬪御享有妃嬪待遇，而未有正式冊封，是為常見。康熙三十年正月初六日寅時，章佳氏生皇十五女和碩敦恪公主。

康熙三十八年七月二十五日，章佳氏在北海五龍亭逝世；七月戊戌，康熙帝諭禮部「妃張雅氏，性行溫良，克嫻內則，久侍宮闈，敬慎素著，今以疾逝，深為軫悼，其謚為敏妃。應行禮儀，爾部察例行」。同年九月，皇三子允祉因未給敏妃守喪而降為貝勒。

《陵寢易知》記載敏妃于康熙三十八年十月奉安，而章佳氏被臨時安排放在帝陵的琉璃花門之內，原因不詳，然而雍正帝於雍正元年正月二十六日傳諭禮部的諭旨提到聖祖「曾降諭旨暫安于陵寢琉璃花門之內、寶城近處，俟入寶城」。

雍正元年正月二十六日，雍正帝諭禮部要追封其為皇考皇貴妃；不久又因怡親王胤祥的緣故，將皇考皇貴妃的娘家撥出包衣，六月二十日，已確定章佳氏的謚號為「敬敏皇貴妃」，追封禮所需的絹冊、絹寶已經製作好；六月二十五日，舉行追封禮，將載有絹冊、絹寶的綵亭恭舁至景陵，宣讀祭文行禮致祭；九月初一日，康熙帝梓宮入葬景陵地宮，孝恭仁皇后梓宮，以及敬敏皇貴妃金棺同日祔葬。
