According to the 1934 "Imperial Palace" archives, Wanrong made 27 pieces of cheongsam in one year. She was also taught drawing and music, such as the piano as well as playing chess and tennis recreationally. Cui Huimei who taught Wanrong recalled: "We sisters taught the empress Wanrong drawing and music, but I remembered the empress Wanrong taught us to sing a song. It was the national anthem of the Qing Dynasty. The lyrics were dismal.." Wanrong told Chen Bangquan, one of the daughters of her tutors about the phoenix coronet (fengguan) while Chen Bangquan was holding the court dress in both hands. Pointing to the coronet, she said: "There are thirteen phoenixes made of gems on the coronet. It was worn by empresses of the successive dynasties. One of the gems was lost and a new one was made to take its place. According to the rules, only the empress had the right to wear the thirteen phoenixes. Next came Guifei (note: concubine ranking system) (the highest-ranking imperial concubine), Pin (concubine), Guiren, Changzai and Daying.There were strict rules for the dress which coudn't be mixed." Wanrong asked the maid to take out a safe which Wanrong opened by herself. Inside was full of jade and jewelry. She took them out and displayed them on a large plate. She then said: "Even on festivals I seldom wore them and just locked them in a chest. Only today I took them out to show you."
