Also referred to as Xiao Chunshan and Grand Marshal/Grand Commander, he is the husband of Wen Shi and father of Consort Xian. He holds a First Rank position and is known in the capital as a man who fears his wife. He is politically savvy and understands how to navigate the Emperor's suspicions. He ultimately complies with the Empress's authority to avoid losing his rank, though he privately manipulates the situation to divert attention from deeper family matters involving his nephew Xiao Chang.
