Noble Consort Wenxi's personal name was not recorded in history.
Noble Consort Wenxi's family was much more prestigious when compared to the maternal families of the other sons of the Kangxi Emperor, apart from Yinreng. Her paternal grandmother, Mukushen, was Nurhaci's daughter, which would make the Kangxi Emperor and Noble Consort Wenxi second cousins. When she died in 1694, her younger brother, Alingga, represented her family in mourning.
It is not known when Lady Niohuru entered the Forbidden City and became a mistress of the Kangxi Emperor. She was first mentioned in official histories on 28 January 1682 when the Kangxi Emperor granted ranks and titles to his consorts. She was granted the title of "Noble Consort". As she was the only one among the imperial consorts to hold that rank, she did not receive a title to distinguish her from the others.
She gave birth on 28 November 1683 to the emperor's tenth son, Yun'e, and on 24 October 1685 to his 11th daughter, who would die prematurely in June or July 1686.
On 17 December 1694, Lady Niohuru became critically ill. She died two days later and was interred in the Jing Mausoleum of the Eastern Qing tombs. She was granted the posthumous title "Noble Consort Wenxi".
