Empress Yu Xiaoxi

Empress Yu Xiaoxi (余晓曦, 余皇后) is the current Empress, wife of the Shaozhi Emperor.

She is the daughter of Yu Mingze, one of your Grand Secretaries.

Description
Born in the 7th year of Yongfeng (1640 CE), Yu Xiaoxi is in fact one year older than the Emperor.

Dark Brown Eyes and a well formed Face framed by medium length, Brown Hair. She has an attractive, feminine face, that would be considered beautiful if not for her above average sized nose.

Empress Yu is an avid reader of history books, and a lover of maps. It's an unusual habit for a woman, but the high rank of her family has allowed her to indulge in this.

Residence
The Empress resides in the Palace of Eternal Spring.

The Inner Apartment of the Palace of Eternal Spring has an entire wall with ornate wooden shelves - each bearing an array of history books.

Six ornate brass censers - four shaped like turtles, two shaped like cranes - that spew a sweet, floral incense. It's not that she likes the incense that much - it's that she doesn't like the musty smell of books, even though she loves the books themselves.
