Empress Xiaomucheng (died 17 February 1808) was the first consort of the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Biography
Empress Xiaomucheng was of the Manchu Niuhuru clan, which was under the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners.[1] Her personal name is unknown. Lady Niuhuru's father was Buyandalai (布é¡é”賚), a Duke of the Third Class (三ç‰å…¬) who served as Minister of Revenue (戶部尚書). Her birth date is not found in historical records. She was first mentioned in 1796 when she married Mianning on December 22 that year.
Lady Niuhuru did not have any children. She died in 1808 and was interred in the Eastern Qing Tombs, Zunhua.
When Mianning ascended to the throne in 1820 as the Daoguang Emperor, he granted Lady Niuhuru the posthumous title of "Empress Xiaomu". In 1828 there was a leak in the Eastern Qing Tombs, resulting in flooding. In the following year, Lady Niuhuru's coffin was temporarily moved to the Baohua Ravine Hall (寶è¯å³ªæ£æ®¿). In 1835 her coffin was to the Muling Mausoleum in the Western Qing Tombs, Hebei.
