The History of Jin records that, before the birth of Lady Wang and her elder sister, her father dreamt of two jade combs that turned into the moon.
On the day that the Wang sisters received their titles, a strong wind caused a haze, and yellow air filled the sky.
One story describes how shortly after Xuanzong's ascension, he decreed that Lady Wang had served admirably and should become empress instead of Consort Zheng.
[1] In 1224, Xuanzong died and was succeeded by Ningjiasu as Emperor Aizong, who gave her the title of Empress Dowager (皇太后) and named her residence[3] rensheng (仁聖).
The empress dowager personally witnessed people starving and dying of plague, with the number of dead reaching more than a million.
Empress Dowager Rensheng gathered gold ingots and precious objects, which she gave to the loyal soldiers of the emperor's escort.
