Consort Yu (Yongle)

Consort Xian (喻賢妃), belonging to the Yu clan, was a consort of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Her date of death is recorded as 1421. There is limited information available regarding her early life; it is only documented that she was enfeoffed as Consort Xian during her lifetime.

On 22 April 1421, Consort Yu passed away. Following her death, the Yongle Emperor temporarily suspended court audiences for one day and held sacrificial rites in her honor. She was posthumously bestowed the title Consort Zhaoshun. Her funeral rites followed the established precedent for the entombment of Consort Zhaoxian. Subsequently, on 26 May 1421, she received an additional posthumous title, Consort Zhongjingzhaoshun.

In the year of her death, the Joseon Dynasty's Sejong Sillok documented an event referred to as the "Eo-Ryeo (or Yu-Lü) disturbance" (魚呂之亂) within the Yongle Emperor's imperial harem. Some Korean researchers have suggested that there may have been an error in recording her name, given that the characters for "喻" and "鱼" are homophones in Chinese. Consequently, it is hypothesized that she may have been mistakenly recorded as Lady Eo (Yu) (鱼氏) by Korean sources.

During the reign of the Hongwu Emperor (1368–1398), she was known as Lady Yu (喻氏). Under the Yongle Emperor's rule (1402–1424), she held the titles of Consort Xian (賢妃). Following her death in 1421, she was referred to as Consort Zhaoshunxian (昭順賢妃) and subsequently as Consort Zhongjingzhaoshunxian (忠敬昭順賢妃) from the same year.

There are no records of her activities or life details beyond her titles, death, and posthumous honors.
