Biography

Empress Xiao Cheng Ren came from the Manchu Heseri clan, and therefore was known as "Empress Heseri". She was the daughter of Gabula, a granddaughter of Suoni and a niece of Songgotu.

In 1669, Heseri gave birth to a son whom died at the age of three.

in 1674, Heseri died in childbirth, while giving birth to Prince Yin Reng, who became the crown prince of the Kangxi Emperor at the age of two. After her death, the Kangxi Emperor left the position vacant probably due to the fact that her family helped him a great deal during the time when he was still not of age.
