China: Empress Xiao Jing Cheng (19 June 1812 - 21 August 1855), fourth consort of the Daoguang Emperor. Handscroll painting, c. 1830-1855. Empress Xiaojingcheng was a consort of the Daoguang Emperor, mother of Prince Yixin, also known as Prince Gong, and foster mother of Prince Yizhu, the Xianfeng Emperor. Hailing from the Khorchin Mongol Plain Blue Banner Borjigit clan, Lady Borjigit became 'Concubine Jing' in 1826, before being elevated to 'Consort Jing' the next year. She was given the title of 'Empress Dowager Kangci' eight days before her death, due to the machinations of her son Yixin.
