Empress Xiaoquancheng (24 March 1808 – 13 February 1840) was the third official spouse and second Empress Consort of the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing dynasty. She was the birth mother of the Daoguang Emperor's fourth son and successor, the Xianfeng Emperor.
Empress Xiaoquancheng was born in the Manchu Niohuru clan in 1808 during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor. Her personal name is unknown. Her family was originally under the Plain Red Banner but was later moved to the Bordered Yellow Banner. Her great-grandfather, Chengde (成德), served as a general guarding Tibet during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. Her grandfather, Mukedengbu (穆克登布), was also a general. Her father, Yiling (頤齡; died before 1850), served as a general in Suzhou and was posthumously honoured as a third class cheng'en duke.
Lady Niohuru spent her youth in Suzhou. In 1820, the Jiaqing Emperor died and was succeeded by his son, the Daoguang Emperor. A year later, during the auditions for the Daoguang Emperor's consorts, Lady Niohuru was shortlisted as a candidate. At the age of 13, she entered the Forbidden City and was given the rank of Noble Lady under the title "Noble Lady Quan" (全貴人). She was promoted to "Imperial Concubine Quan" (全嬪) a year later. On 24 March 1823, she was further promoted to "Consort Quan" (全妃).
Two years later, on 8 April 1825, Lady Niohuru gave birth to the Daoguang Emperor's third daughter, Gurun Princess Duanshun (端順固倫公主; 8 April 1825 – 27 December 1835). The emperor was so delighted that on 30 May, he promoted her to "Noble Consort Quan" (全貴妃).
In the following summer, Lady Niohuru became pregnant a second time, and on 12 May 1826 she gave birth to the Daoguang Emperor's fourth daughter, Gurun Princess Shou'an (壽安固倫公主; 12 May 1826 – 23 April 1860).
