Lady Bu (died c.March or November 238),^[a] personal name Bu Lianshi,^[2] was a concubine of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of the state of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period of China. She has posthumously been honoured as an empress by Sun Quan. She is also known as Empress Bu.

Life

Lady Bu was from Huaiyin County (淮陰縣), Linhuai Commandery (臨淮郡), which is in present-day Huai'an, Jiangsu. She was born sometime in the late Eastern Han dynasty. She was a relative of Bu Zhi. When she was young, her mother brought her from Huaiyin to Lujiang Commandery (廬江郡; around present-day Anqing, Anhui). In 199, Lujiang was conquered by the warlord Sun Ce, who controlled the territories in the Jiangdong region (also called Wu, covering present-day southeastern China), after which Lady Bu moved from Lujiang to Jiangdong. In Jiangdong, Lady Bu was noticed by Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, for her beauty and she became Sun Quan's concubine. When Sun Quan abandoned the second wife Lady Xu in 212, Lady Bu became Suan Quan's favourite wife.^[3] She bore Sun Quan two daughters: Sun Luban and Sun Luyu.^[4]

Lady Bu was known to be very accepting towards Sun Quan's other wives and she recommended other women to his husband. As such, she remained in her husband's favour in the long term. In May 229, when Sun Quan declared himself emperor and established the state of Eastern Wu, he considered whether to install Lady Bu as the empress. However, his subjects nominated Lady Xu to be the empress instead. Sun Quan was so hesitant that he couldn't decide who to make the empress in the following years. Lady Bu's relative referred to Lady Bu as the Empress. On the other hand, Lady Bu was unable to receive support from the crown prince Sun Deng. The crown price treated Lady Xu much better than Lady Bu to express the support for Lady Xu.^[5] Lady Bu died in 238 and was posthumously honoured as an empress by Sun Quan on 24 November of that year.^[1] She was interred in the Jiang Mausoleum (蔣陵; at the Purple Mountain, Nanjing, Jiangsu).^[6]

Lady Bu's personal name was not recorded in her biography in the Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi), the authoritative source for the history of the Three Kingdoms period. However, the Jiankang Shilu mentioned that her personal name was "Lianshi", hence she was also known as "Bu Lianshi".^[2]

In popular culture

Lady Bu is first introduced as a playable character in the seventh installment of Koei's Dynasty Warriors video game series. She is referred to as "Lian Shi" in the game.

Notes

^ The Sanguozhi recorded that Lady Bu died in the 1st year of the Chiwu era (238–251) of Sun Quan's reign.^[1] Her biography in Sanguozhi recorded an edict by Sun Quan proclaiming her empress posthumously. This edict was issued on the wuzi day of the leap month of that year, which corresponds to 24 Nov 238 in the Julian calendar. Thus, Lady Bu most likely died in Nov 238. However, vol.02 of Jiankang Shilu indicate that Lady Bu was posthumously proclaimed empress in the 2nd month of that year, which corresponds to 3 Mar to 1 Apr 238 in the Julian calendar.
