Zhaoyi (昭仪), also Yujiulü Zhaoyi (郁久闾昭仪) (fl. 414) was the consort of Feng Ba, formally Emperor Wencheng of Yan. She was the daughter of Yujiulü Hulü.

In 411, the khan of Rouran Yujiulü Hulü offered a tribute of 3,000 horses to Feng Ba and requested to marry Feng Ba's daughter Princess Lelang. Feng Ba, believing that an alliance with Rouran would be beneficial to his state, gave Princess Lelang in marriage to Hulü, who was of the Yujiulü clan.{{cite book

Later that year, Yujiulü Hulü was overthrown by his nephew Yujiulü Buluzhen (郁久閭步鹿真), and the coup leaders sent him and his daughter away to Northern Yan. Feng Ba treated Hulü as an honored guest and, as originally planned, took his daughter as a concubine.{{cite book
