Empress Xiao Quancheng of the Niuhulu clan, Manchurian Yellow Bannerman, the second empress of the Daoguang Emperor, the biological mother of the Xianfeng Emperor, if the Daoguang Emperor had a favored concubine, then this favored concubine could only be her. In the second year of Daoguang (1822 AD), when she was 14 years old (fifteen years old), she participated in the first draft of the Daoguang Emperor, and after being selected, she was named a concubine and given the title of "Quan". Half a year later (February 22, 1823), Quan Concubine was promoted to Full Concubine. A year later, she became pregnant and was promoted to the rank of Grand Concubine in the first ten days of August in the fourth year of Daoguang (1824). At this time, the age of the Niu Hulu clan was only 17 years old, and his position was second only to the empress at this time. At this time, the empress was still there, and her position had been raised to the highest rank of a concubine. Finally, when the empress died in 1833, the Daoguang Emperor promoted the Hulu clan to imperial concubine, at this time she was 26 years old. A year later, the 27-year-old Niu Hulu was promoted to empress. It can be said that except for the middle 17 to 26 years old, because the empress is alive, there is no way to rise, and the other times are basically upgraded year by year.
Empress Xiao Quancheng's upgrade speed was fast enough, but her daughter-in-law Empress Xiao Zhenxian was even faster, and the speed of this concubine's upgrade could be said to cover the entire Qing harem. Empress Xiaozhenxian was also surnamed Niu Hulu (祜禄氏), a Manchurian yellow flag bearer, and of course we are more familiar with her other title: Empress Dowager Ci'an. Ci'an was drafted into the palace in February of the second year of Xianfeng (1852), and entered on April 27, where he was enthroned as a concubine. In less than a month, she was promoted from a concubine to a noble concubine, and in June she was proposed to be an empress, and in October she was officially crowned empress. In February, he was drafted into the palace, and in October, he was made empress, and it took only 8 months in between. Cixi, who was drafted into the palace at the same time as her, spent 5 years, from a nobleman to a noble concubine, and the promotion speed was much slower than Ci'an.
