Life

Family background

Shunzhi era

Erdeni Bumba was selected by the emperor's mother, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, to be the Shunzhi Emperor's primary consort. On 27 September 1651, she was instated as empress. The Prince-Regent Dorgon also encouraged the marriage between the Shunzhi Emperor and Erdeni Bumba. However, the Shunzhi Emperor disliked Erdeni Bumba so much that he demanded that she should be replaced. On 25 October 1653, Erdeni Bumba was demoted to "Consort Jing". Some sources claim, that when she was living in Palace of Eternal Longevity, she became pregnant. During her pregnancy, she left the Forbidden City. However, historical records don't mention her further fate.
