Fairy Zhihua was unwilling to be lonely in heaven, so she descended to earth and became the great-granddaughter of Xiao Tong, Prince Zhaoming of the Liang Dynasty, and the daughter of Xiao Kui, Emperor Xiaoming of the Western Liang Dynasty. Her name was Xiao Min! At that time, Yuan Tiangang, a divination expert, was amazed by her appearance. He carefully calculated her birth date and finally came to the eight-character conclusion: "Mother is worthy of the world, and she is destined to bring peach blossoms." When she was 24 years old, she became the queen of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang for more than ten years!
In the fourteenth year of Daye (618), there was a coup in Jiangdu. Emperor Yangdi was killed by the rebels Yu Wenhuaji and others in the palace, and Queen Xiao was taken to Liaocheng by the rebels. Afterwards, Dou Jiande led his troops to attack the city to welcome back the queen, and temporarily resettled the queen in Wuqiang County. At that time, Princess Yicheng, the wife of the Turkic Chuluo Khan, was the sister-in-law of Empress Xiao (the sister of Emperor Yangdi). Because of this relationship, Chuluo Khan sent envoys to welcome the queen. Dou Jiande did not dare to disobey, so Empress Xiao followed the envoy to the Turks.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong defeated the Turks and welcomed Empress Xiao back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, Empress Xiao received courtesy from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. In the 21st year of Zhenguan, Empress Xiao died at the age of about eighty. After the queen's death, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty buried Empress Xiao in the mausoleum of Emperor Yang with the following rites, and gave her the posthumous title of Empress Min.
