She became a member of the imperial harem of the Yongle Emperor in 1409. She was described as humble and mild. She played an important role in court because of her influence. The emperor respected her and she was known to have the ability to calm him down during his frequent anger attacks. Because of this, the members of the court, both princes, princesses and other people at court, regarded her as a form of protection against the emperor.[2]
