Empress Wang (Chenghua)
Empress Wang, formally Empress Xiaozhenchun (died 1518) was a Chinese Empress consort of the Ming Dynasty, married to the Chenghua Emperor.
Empress Wang was chosen by the emperor to the position of empress after her predecessor had been deposed due to a conflict with the emperors favorite concubine, Consort Wan.
Aware of the mistake of her predecessor, Wang was very anxious to avoid any conflict with the emperors favorite.
Consort Wan had no son with the emperor after her first son died in infancy, and feared the competition if any other of the emperors consorts or concubines gave birth to a son.
It was said that empress Wang deliberately stayed childless to avoid such a conflict with Consort Wan.
The efforts to avoid all conflicts with Consort Wan and to show herself submissive to her, did secure the position of empress Wang at court.
In 1487, the Chenghua Emperor died, and empress Wang was given the title Empress Dowager.
The Hongzhi Emperor granted her the title Grand Empress Dowager.
In 1510, she was further raised in rank by the then-reigning emperor, Emperor Zhengde, who was the eldest son of the Hongzhi Emperor and the grandson of the Chenghua Emperor.

His niece was Emperor Gaozong's first wife Empress Wang, and as Emperor Gaozong's favors for her waned, Liu found himself in a precarious position.
in 654, he resigned his chancellor post, but was not able to escape being exiled in 655 when Empress Wang was deposed and killed, in favor of Empress Wu.

Empress Wang (Jingtai)
Empress Wang( 1427- 1507) was a Chinese Empress consort of the Ming Dynasty, married to the Jingtai Emperor.
Wang was married to Jingtai in 1449.
When the elder brother of Jingtai was taken prisoner by the Mongols later that year, Jingtai became emperor, and Wang was given the position of empress by his side.
Empress Wang had two daughters with the emperor, but no son.
In May 1452, Jingtai declared the son of his secondary Consort Hang heir to the throne.
At the same time, he promoted Hang to the position of empress, being the mother of the crown prince, and demoted Wang and stripped her of the title.
After her demotion, the ex-empress Wang lived a quite life outside of the palace walls.
She survived the deposition and death of Jingtai in 1457, when the rest of his concubines and spouses were ordered to commit suicide.
The reason for this was possibly because she had assisted the nephew of her spouse, the future Chenghua Emperor, to hide from Jingtai.

Empress Wang (Gaozong)
Empress Wang( 628 – 27 November 655) was an empress of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty.
She was the first wife and empress of Emperor Gaozong and became empress shortly after he became emperor in 649.
She, however, did not bear any sons for him and was not favored.
Therefore, in apprehension that one of his concubines, Consort Xiao, who was both favored and had a son, might seek to displace her, she recommended a former concubine of Emperor Gaozong's father Emperor Taizong, Consort Wu( later known as Wu Zetian), to be Emperor Gaozong's concubine as well, hoping to divert favor from Consort Xiao.
Soon, however, Consort
Wu became dominant in the palace and overwhelmed both Empress Wang and Consort Xiao, eventually accusing them of using witchcraft against Emperor Gaozong.
Emperor Gaozong reduced both Empress Wang and Consort Xiao to commoner rank and put them under arrest in 655, replacing Empress Wang with Consort Wu. Soon, Empress Wang and Consort Xiao were executed on the new Empress Wu's orders.
