The Legend of Xiaohui

Empress Xiao Huizhang, the second empress of Emperor Shunzhi, was the grand-niece of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen and the niece of the deposed queen. She had a quiet personality and aloof from the world, but she was involved in the vortex of political struggles due to the "Manchu-Mongolian marriage". After entering the palace, her husband, Emperor Shunzhi, did not like her, but he loved Concubine Dong E, the "beautiful woman". After Concubine Dong E passed away, her husband also collapsed due to the loss of his beloved, and then passed away. Xiaohui was only twenty-one years old at this time. Fortunately, Xiaohui's concubine Xuan Ye succeeded to the throne and was extremely filial to her, which made up for the pain of losing her husband in her prime, allowing her to die in peace, and realizing her father's wish to "die well" before she entered the palace.
