1820, Emperor Jiaqing died suddenly while hunting. After Jiaqing's death, according to the succession tradition of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor always hid the imperial edict of succession in the Hall of Supreme Harmony before his death, but people did not find it behind the plaque or in Jiaqing's golden box. It's a mess now. Without the imperial decree of succession, who should inherit the throne next becomes a problem. At this time, if the handover of the throne is not smooth, it is likely to lead to infighting among the royal family. The position of the emperor is too attractive. The uncertainty of the throne makes every prince feel that he has the opportunity and ability to become an emperor.
At this critical juncture, Xiao Huanghou and Rui stepped forward, and she supported Mianning, the eldest son of the emperor, to inherit the unification. Mianning is not actually her son, but in order to avoid suspicion, she is trying to convince civil and military officials and other princes. She chose to support Mianning as emperor. For the stability of the royal family, Mianning acceded to the throne in a very short time, and the handover of the throne in the Qing Dynasty was successfully completed. An invisible battle did not nip in the bud.
Mianning is the future Daoguang Emperor. After he acceded to the throne, he paid more attention to Xiao and Rui. Daoguang Emperor admired her courage, wisdom and selflessness. As a matter of fact, Empress Xiaohe and Rui was only a high-ranked imperial concubine before her death, and Empress Jiaqing died early, so it is appropriate for her to be a high-ranked imperial concubine. After her death, in order to express her gratitude, Daoguang posthumously made her a filial queen.
