Empress Xiaojing (1565-1612); was the mother of the Taichang Emperor. Initially a maid of the Dowager Empress who caught the eye of Emperor Wanli; however; Wanli only favoured Lady Zheng; and all but ignored Xiaojing; hence Taichang was not created crown prince until 1601. Her grandson; the Tianqi Emperor; promoted her to Empress Dowager. Thus she was re-buried from an Imperial Concubine's tomb to the Wanli Emperor's tomb. The Wanli Emperor therefore was the only Ming Dynasty Emperor buried with two wives.
