Wang, imperial consort of Later Tang
Consort Dowager Wang who has another title Wang Taifei (王太妃) (died June 23, 947), known commonly by her imperial consort title Shufei (王淑妃), nickname Huajianxiu (花見羞, "flowers would be ashamed to see her"), was an noble consort to Li Siyuan (Emperor Mingzong), the second emperor of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period state Later Tang. During Li Siyuan's reign, she, as his favorite concubine, exerted substantial influence within his administration. After the destruction of both Later Tang and its successor state Later Jin (by the Khitan Liao Dynasty), her adoptive son Li Congyi was forced to claim imperial title by the evacuating Liao forces, and both she and he were subsequently killed by the succeeding Later Han's founding emperor Liu Zhiyuan.
