The future Noble Consort Ying was born on the 29th day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, which translates to 7 March 1731 in the Gregorian calendar.

She was demoted to "First Class Female Attendant Na" in 1748 for unknown reasons but was restored as "Noble Lady" shortly after.

In November or December 1798, the Qianlong Emperor issued an imperial decree promoting Lady Barin to "Noble Consort Ying".

Lady Barin had no children of her own and had been leading a rather lonely life in the palace, so she was very happy to see Yonglin.

However, the Jiaqing Emperor was furious when he found out, and he scolded his brother for not seeking his permission first.
