Jiaqing era[edit]
It is not known when Lady Hoifa Nara became a lady-in-waiting of Minning, the second son of the Jiaqing Emperor. On 16 May 1808, she gave birth to his first son, Yiwei. In May 1808, she was elevated to his secondary consort.
Daoguang era[edit]
The Jiaqing Emperor died on 2 September 1820 and was succeeded by Minning, who was enthroned as the Daoguang Emperor. She resided in the Yanxi Palace. On 28 December 1822, Lady Hoifa Nara was granted the title "Concubine He". In December 1823, she was elevated to "Consort He". Even though her son Yiwei was the Daoguang Emperor's only son at some point, Consort He never rose above the rank of Consort. Five years after the death of Yiwei, she died on 18 May 1836 from kidney problems and was interred in the Mu Mausoleum of the Western Qing tombs.
