Lady Socoro entered the Forbidden city in 1851, and was given the title of "First class female attendant Wan" (婉常在; "wan" meaning "tactfull"). There was discussion in imperial court to bestow her a title "Noble Lady". Xianfeng Emperor cut on discussion assuming that lady Socoro didn't deserve a title "Noble Lady" in spite of her noble and illustrious family background. Instead, the emperor gave a title "Noble Lady" to Ugiya Qiyun, his former mistress. Lady Socoro lived in Chengqian palace under the supervision of Concubine Yun. In June 1852, she travelled to Yuanmingyuan with her servants.{{Cite book|title=《宮中雜件》/"Records of central palace"}} At that time, court painters were ordered to create portraits of imperial concubines.
