Shunzhi era
[edit]In the summer of 1656, Lady Donggo entered theForbidden Cityand was deeply loved and favoured by theShunzhi Emperor.On 12 October 1656, she was granted the title "Consort Xian". On 19 January 1657, she was elevated to "Imperial Noble Consort".[1]The Shunzhi Emperor held a grand ceremony for the promotion of Lady Donggo and proclaimed amnesty. When Lady Donggo became the Imperial Noble Consort, she shared the power of managing the inner court withEmpress Xiaohuizhang,whom Emperor Shunzhi wanted to depose (however, the officials opposed to deposition of a second empress).[1]
On 12 November 1657, Lady Donggo gave birth to the Emperor's fourth son. The premature death of their son on 25 February 1658 had a great impact on Lady Donggo and the Shunzhi Emperor. Lady Donggo fell ill and died on 23 September 1660. The Shunzhi Emperor was so overwhelmed with grief that he stopped attending daily court meetings for five days to mourn Lady Donggo. It was also said that the Shunzhi Emperor was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide, and had to be watched every day.[2]Two days after her death, Lady Donggo was posthumously granted the title of empress, an uncommon gesture.[3]She was interred in the Xiao Mausoleum of theEastern Qing tombs.
