Royal Noble Consort Yeong of the Jeonui Yi clan (Korean영빈 전의 이씨; Hanja暎嬪 全義 李氏; 15 August 1696 – 23 August 1764), alternatively known as Lady Seonhui (Korean선희궁; Hanja宣禧宮), was a concubine of King Yeongjo of Joseon and the mother of Crown Prince Sado.[1] She is most well known for advising Yeongjo to execute their son, as the latter suffered from serious mental illnesses.[2]
