Empress Xiaoyizhuang

Empress Xiaojiesu (1508–1528), a member of the Chen clan, served as the first empress to the Jiajing Emperor in the Ming dynasty. Selected into the palace in 1522, she was appointed empress later that year upon the request of the emperor’s aunt, the Empress Dowager Zhang. However, due to the strained personal relationship between the emperor and his aunt, Empress Xiaojiesu did not find favor with the emperor. In 1528, while pregnant, she suffered a fatal miscarriage caused by the emperor’s rage. Despite her status, the emperor did not allow her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, a gesture that was not rectified until 1567.
