History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
In ancient times, it is not unusual to get married and have children in your teens, especially in the royal family, early marriage is extremely common, the Qing Dynasty has a most special empress, she is married to the emperor at the age of thirteen and entered the harem, after entering the palace, this thirteen-year-old concubine is quite favored, and gave birth to four children for the emperor.
Among the more than two dozen empresses of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Xiao Jingcheng was the only one who did not give birth to a prince, and was not crowned empress while the emperor was alive, but was honored as an empress after death, and the tablet was placed in the temple.
The empress who met so many conditions was the only one in the Qing Dynasty, so it is not surprising that she is the most special, and as for why Empress Xiao Jingcheng was able to obtain these honors, this is mainly because of her kind character and gentleness. As we all know, the women in the harem of the ancient emperor often had some fierce struggles in order to compete for favors, but Empress Xiaojingcheng was different, she was very low-key after entering the palace, and her personality also attracted the Daoguang Emperor, so Daoguang was quite fond of it and spoiled day and night.
However, Empress Xiao Jingcheng did not use this as a villain, and she was also very kind to other concubines and even the people under her. The most correct thing Empress Xiaojingcheng did was to raise the crown prince Yixuan, when Yixuan's birth mother died early, and Empress Xiaojingcheng raised it as her own child, and later Yijingcheng ascended the throne, that is, the Xianfeng Emperor, in order to thank his adoptive mother for his nurturing kindness, so he named her empress dowager, that is, Empress Xiaojingcheng of the former Emperor Daoguang Emperor.
Later, Empress Xiaojingcheng died, and the Xianfeng Emperor also invited her tablet into the Taimiao Temple, although her own son did not inherit the throne, but the adoption of the Xianfeng Emperor was almost the same as the birth of the prince, which is also the most important reason why Empress Xiaojingcheng can get such a special honor.
