Li Xianfei

Concubine Gongjing, also known as Lady Li Xianfei, died on December 26, 1452. She was a concubine of Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty. Her origins and the timing of her entry into the palace are not clearly documented, but she was serving Ming Renzong by the latest in the first year of Yongle (1403). According to the "Ming Shilu" (Veritable Records of the Ming), she bore her first son, Zhu Zanju, the Prince of Zheng Jing, in the second year of Yongle (1404). Subsequently, in the third year of Yongle (1405), she gave birth to Zhu Zanlin, the Prince of Qixian; in the seventh year of Yongle (1409), to Zhu Zhanduo, the Prince of Huailing; and in the eleventh year of Yongle (1413), to Princess Zhen Ding.

In the twenty-second year of Yongle (1424), after Ming Renzong ascended the throne, she was bestowed the title of Concubine Xian, and an imperial edict officially recognized her as a concubine, including her name in the record. In 1425 (the first year of Hongxi), Ming Renzong passed away. In the same year, in July, Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, posthumously honoring Lady Guo as the Royal Mother of the Empress Dowager, and naming Wang Shi as Zhenhui, Lady Li as Hui'an, and Wang Shi as Hui'an. Lady Li Xianfei was not mentioned, indicating she was spared from funeral sacrifice rites.

Lady Li Xianfei died in the third year of Jingtai (1452). Her age at death is unknown; she was given the posthumous title "Gongjing" and was buried at Jingshan, Beijing. Her family had close ties to military affairs and participated in tomb guardianship. Her father, Li Zhi, held the position of a Hundred Household in the Earldom Guard, later inheriting an official post. Among her descendants, her son Li Tang's descendants were once granted hereditary official titles, but later policies restricted such hereditary rights.

In Ming Dynasty history, Lady Li Xianfei appears as a concubine, and her family members held certain positions of status in military and official circles.
