Wanli eraEdit

Following the death of Empress Xiaocigao on 31 October 1603, Lady Ula Nara was elevated to Nurhaci's primary consort. She gave birth on 28 August 1605 to Nurhaci's 12th son, Ajige, on 17 November 1612 to his 14th son, Dorgon, and on 2 April 1614 to his 15th son, Dodo.
Tiancong eraEdit
Lady Ula Nara was forced to commit suicide on 1 October 1626 by her stepsons (including Hong Taiji) because they feared that she might be a barrier to Hong Taiji's succession.
Shunzhi eraEdit
During the early reign of the Shunzhi Emperor, Dorgon served as Prince-Regent for the underage emperor. In 1650, Lady Ula Nara was posthumously elevated to "Empress Xiaoliewu". In 1653, the Shunzhi Emperor revoked Lady Ula Nara's posthumous title.
