In the fifth year of Zhengguang reign of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xiao Mingzhu (the prototype of Er Zhu Ying'e), the daughter of a powerful minister, was presented to the palace by her biological father. Before the golden hairpins in her hair were heated, she was shaved off three thousand black hair in the temple of Empress Dowager Hu.
