What kind of life did Li Tangmei live after entering the palace How did she give birth to Zhu Youyong

Empress Dowager Xiaomu, originally surnamed Li Tangmei, is the only Yao born Empress Dowager in Chinese history. In her childhood, both of her parents died and she was adopted by a relative in Guiling, Hezhou, Guangxi. When the Ming army arrived in Guangxi to quell the Yao Rebellion, she was “captured into Yeting” due to her outstanding appearance and was appointed as a female historian after entering the capital. Li “and” Ji “have the same pronunciation in Yao language, but the official in charge of registration mistakenly recorded them as” Miss Ji “. Below, the editor of the History Encyclopedia will bring you the life of Li Tangmei after she entered the palace. Let’s take a look together!
One night in 1469, Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty favored Li Tangmei on a whim, and Li Tangmei became pregnant as a result. At that time, Consort Wan was in charge of the imperial harem and repeatedly persecuted the pregnant concubines and palace maids. Li Tangmei could not escape and directly ordered the palace maids to have abortions. Emperor Ming Xianzong had no children yet, and the palace maid may have wanted to seek wealth or be soft hearted towards her young son, so she lied to Empress Wan and said that Li Tangmei was sick, not pregnant.
Nevertheless, Empress Wan sent Li Tangmei to reside in Anle Hall. Ten months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Tangmei has successfully given birth to her youngest prince, Zhu Youzhong. Upon learning of this, Empress Wan was furious and ordered eunuch Zhang Min to drown her. Zhang Min didn’t underestimate the words of Noble Consort Wan. He secretly rescued the young man and entrusted him to the care of Empress Wu, who had been deposed and sent to the cold palace.
In 1475, Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty lamented to Zhang Min that he had no children yet, and Zhang Min risked his life to tell him the truth. Upon hearing this, Emperor Xianzong of Ming was overjoyed and quickly dispatched envoys to pick up the prince. Afterwards, the father and son met and announced to the world. Li Tangmei moved to Yongshou Palace and was conferred the title of Shufei.
In June of the same year, Li Tangmei died suddenly in the palace for unknown reasons. Upon hearing the news of Lady Shu’s death, Zhang Min was filled with fear and swallowed gold to die.
