Empress Xiao Cheng Ren (Chinese: 孝诚仁皇后赫舍里氏), also known as the Ren Xiao empress (Manchu: Hiyoošungga Unenggi Gosin Hūwanghu); (November 26, 1653 - June 16, 1674) was the first Empress Consort of the Kangxi Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty of China. They were married in 1665. Empress Xiao Cheng Ren died at age 20, and was thus considered the most short-lived Empress of the Qing Dynasty.
[edit] 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 because her family helped him a great deal during the time when he was still not of age.
