There are some questions about the origin of Empress Xiaojingcheng. First of all, Empress Xiaojingcheng's surname is Borzijit Banner (Mongolian surname), but she belongs to Manchuria Zhenglan Banner. What happened?
In fact, the origin of Empress Xiaojingcheng is very important. According to historical records, Empress Xiaojingcheng is a descendant of Emperor Zhao Zong of Yuan Dynasty (the second emperor of Northern Yuan Dynasty), and her ancestor Sonomu entered Zhenglan Banner of Manchu in the early years of Qing Dynasty, thus becoming a Manchu flag bearer with Mongolian descent. Empress Xiaojingcheng's ancestors mainly engaged in military work, and it was not until Emperor Xiaojingcheng's great-grandfather Xingde's generation began to turn to politics. Her father Hua works in the Ministry of Punishment (the official title is Yuan Wailang).
In the fifth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, the filial piety empress, who was only 13 years old, took part in the Eight Banners draft as a female disciple of Manchuria Zhenglan Banner. As beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, she was chosen by the emperor at a glance and was named Gui Jing.

In the history of the harem in the Qing dynasty, there was never a shortage of concubines who were prone to pregnancy, such as the imperial concubine who gave birth to six children for Qianlong. It happens that Empress Xiaojingcheng is also prone to pregnancy. She got pregnant in the second year of entering the palace, which is undoubtedly a great good thing for longing for her son's light. Before the baby was born, Daoguang promoted Xiao Jing to be the Queen of Xiao Jing.
Soon after, Xiao Jing became a queen and gave birth to the emperor's second son, Yi Gang. Unexpectedly, this is just the beginning. From the eighth year of Daoguang to the twelfth year of Daoguang, Empress Xiao Jingcheng conceived a dragon fetus four times and gave birth to three sons (note: Daoguang miscarried once in the eighth year), namely the third son of Emperor Yiji, the sixth daughter of Emperor Yiji and the sixth son of Emperor Yiji? .
However, perhaps because of the younger childbearing age of Empress Xiaojingcheng, the survival rate of her children is not high. Except for Daoguang's eight-year miscarriage, there are only six daughters and six sons. Survived. However, Empress Cheng Jing made great contributions to the royal family. She has been promoted to peace. After her death, Shen Cheng, as Gui Jingfei, became the second mistress of the harem in Qing Dynasty, second only to Queen Xiaoquan, and passed He Fei and other senior concubines.
Ascension prince
In the first month of the twentieth year of Daoguang, the filial piety queen suddenly died in Yuanmingyuan. Later, Empress Xiao Jingcheng was promoted to imperial concubine, and she was in charge of the Sixth Palace until the death of Emperor Daoguang in the 30th year of Daoguang. In the meantime, in addition to raising children, filial piety becomes a queen? In addition, he also raised Yi Kuang, the son of the fourth emperor left by Empress Xiao Quancheng.
Some people may ask, why didn't Daoguang directly establish Empress Xiao Jingcheng as the queen?
I think there are two reasons:
First, in the Qing Dynasty, no emperor had four empresses, and only three (Cheng Xiao, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yi) were as clever as Kangxi, and Daoguang dared not easily surpass his ancestors.
Second, if filial piety is enshrined as a queen, what is the son of filial piety? Will it become? The queen's son? This will make it more difficult to choose an heir, which is not conducive to the succession of the fourth son of the emperor in the future. So Daoguang finally canceled the idea. However, it is entirely possible to successfully enter the palace with filial piety and the qualification and ability to become a queen.
Empress Rong Feng
After Daoguang's death, Yi Yi, the fourth son of Emperor Xiaojingcheng (son of Empress Xiaoquan), succeeded to the throne as Emperor Xianfeng. After Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, he named Empress Xiao Jingcheng Gao Kangdi, who was supported by the empress dowager.
It stands to reason that Emperor Xianfeng's move is very reasonable, but Xiao Jing became the queen, right? Queen? I don't forget my birthright. The continuous birth at the beginning has greatly consumed my body. By the time Xianfeng was five years old, filial piety had been exhausted.
At this point, Prince Gong Yi? Begging for food again? In desperation? Xianfeng named Empress Xiao Jingcheng as Empress Kang Ci, which was the last wish of the foster mother, but it was also opened? The emperor's foster mother sealed the empress dowager? Precedent On the ninth day of July in the fifth year of Xianfeng, on the ninth day when Empress Xiaojingcheng was named Empress Dowager, she closed her eyes forever.
However, in terms of the queen's funeral, Emperor Xianfeng deliberately reduced it. For example, posthumous title, Emperor Daoguang, posthumous title and Empress Jing were not in the ancestral hall, and Emperor Xianfeng did not attend the funeral in person. All this can be seen from Xianfeng's reluctance. Of course, Emperor Xianfeng's move also suppressed the game of Prince Gong. The purpose of, sure enough, from then on, huh? He lost his real power and Xianfeng was never used again.
