Consort He's personal name was not recorded in history. She was a Booi Aha of the Plain White Banner by birth.
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.
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".

The historian Jonathan Spence characterizes the Daoguang Emperor as a "well meaning but ineffective man" who promoted officials who "presented a purist view even if they had nothing to say about the domestic and foreign problems surrounding the dynasty."
