During the first reign year of the Daoguang Emperor in 1821, Lady Niuhuru was granted the title of Imperial Concubine Quan (Chinese: 全嫔). Three years later in 1823 she was raised to an Imperial Consort (Chinese: 全妃). In 1825 Niuhuru gave birth to the Emperor's third daughter, Princess of the first rank Duan Shun (Chinese: 端顺固伦公主), and two months later she was raised to a Noble Consort (Chinese: 全贵妃). One year later Niuhuru gave birth to another daughter and in 1831 she gave birth to a son, prince Yi Zhu (the future Xianfeng Emperor). Two years after the death of the Emperor's second Empress Xiao Shen Cheng in 1833, Niuhuru was officially made Empress Consort with the title of "Empress Xiao Quan Cheng".
