Mother of the Eighth Princess Xiao Nanzhi. Close to the Empress. She wants Xiao Nanzhi to marry Xiao Lanting to tie their family firmly to both the Empress and the Crown Prince, which would also secure the future of her own son, the Sixth Prince. She is not overly ambitious, only hoping her son can share in the Crown Prince's prosperity when he ascends the throne. She is willing to demote Yun Juan from wife to concubine and find an excuse to send her away if the emperor approves the marriage between Xiao Nanzhi and Xiao Lanting.
