Lady Namjung (Chinese: 娜木鐘, Manchu: ᠨᠠᠮ ᠵᡠᠩ; died 1674) of the Abaga Borjigit clan, formally known as Noble Consort Yijing (懿靖貴妃), was the consort of Ligdan Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, after his death became an imperial concubine of Emperor Hong Taiji of the Qing dynasty.
Her personal name was Namjung (娜木鐘).
Noble Consort Yijing's family was prestigious. She was a Mongol woman from the Abaga Borjigit clan (博爾濟吉特氏) from the Inner Mongolia region. Her father was Prince Abagai of the Second Rank (阿霸垓郡王). She had two sisters: one of them married Sereng Erdeni (塞冷額爾德尼), and the other, whose personal name was Ahai (阿海), married Chechen han Sholei (碩壘).
It is unknown when she became a consort of Ligden Khan, Khagan of Northern Yuan dynasty. She was granted the title of Primary Consort Duoluo, later changed to Primary Consort Nangnang (囊囊福晉). Her husband died in 1634 and one year later, in 1635, she gave birth to his son named Abunai (阿布奈). It is possible that she also had a daughter as there is another record of her raising a Mongolian woman after she became one of the wives of Hong Taiji.[1] [2]
After Ligden Khan died, Hong Taiji married Lady Namjung and Lady Batmadzoo as his concubines. Her residence was Linzhi Palace (麟趾宮), located in the west side of Qingning Palace (宮清寧宮) of the Shenyang Imperial Palace[3] [4] Lady Namjung was conferred the title of Noble Consort. On 30 April 1636, she gave birth to the 11th daughter of Hong Taiji, Princess Duanshun of the First Rank. Later, she gave birth Bomubogor on 20 January 1642.
Abaga Borjigit Namjung died in 1674 and was awarded the title of Noble Consort Yijing. She was buried in the Zhaoling garden (清昭陵).
