Empress Xiaojingcheng (19 June 1812 – 21 August 1855) was an Imperial Noble Consort of the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing dynasty. Her personal name is unknown; she is only known as either "Lady Borjigit" or by the various titles she held at different times throughout her life. Although she never held the rank of Empress when she was living, she was posthumously honoured as an Empress in 1855 by the Xianfeng Emperor.
Empress Xiaojingcheng was born in 1812 during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor. She had Mongol ancestry and was from the Borjigit clan, the clan of Genghis Khan. Her father, Hualiang'a (花良阿), served as a yuanwailang (員外郎; second-class secretary) in the Ministry of Justice. At the time of her birth, her clan was under a Mongol banner, but in 1855 they were merged into the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner.
Lady Borjigit entered the Forbidden City at the beginning of the reign of the Daoguang Emperor and was given the rank of Noble Lady under the title "Noble Lady Jing" (靜貴人). On 22 November 1826, she gave birth to Yigang (奕綱), the Daoguang Emperor's second son. She was promoted to "Imperial Concubine Jing" (靜嬪) a month later in December 1826. The four-month-old Yigang died prematurely on 5 March 1827. Two months later, Lady Borjigit was promoted to "Consort Jing" (静妃). In 1829, she bore the Daoguang Emperor's third son, Yiji (奕繼), but her son died prematurely within two months after he was born. In 1830, she bore the Daoguang Emperor's sixth daughter, who is known by her title "Gulun Princess Shou'en" (壽恩固倫公主). Three years later, she gave birth to Yixin, the Daoguang Emperor's sixth son. Among her four children, only Yixin and Gulun Princess Shou'en survived into adulthood.
