[edit] Biography
Empress Xiaodexian was born in the Manchu Sakda (薩克達) clan, which was under the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners.[1] Her father was Futai (富泰), who served as Vice Minister (少卿) of the Ancestral Temple (太常寺) in the Qing imperial court.
In 1847 Lady Sakda married Yizhu, the fourth son of the Daoguang Emperor, and became Yizhu's primary spouse. She died in January 1850. She did not bear Yizhu any children. About a month after her death, the Daoguang Emperor died and was succeeded by Yizhu, who became the Xianfeng Emperor. As Xianfeng's primary spouse, Lady Sakda was posthumously granted the title of Empress, and was interred in the Dingling Mausoleum in Hebei.
