Image:Cixi3.jpg|thumb|300px|The Dowager Empress with her Ladies-in-Waiting Princess Der Ling (1886-1944) was a Manchu princess, the daughter of Lord Yu Keng. Lord Yu Keng was a member of the Manchu White Banner Corps, and even appointed ambassador to the French Third Republic for four years in 1899. He was known for his progressive, reformist views. He died in 1905. His daughters therefore got a western education. Upon return from France, Princess Der Ling became First lady-in-waiting to Empress Dowager Cixi. She stayed at court until March 1905. In 1907 she married Thaddeus C. White, an American. She wrote down her unique experience in court in her memoirs "Two Years in the Forbidden City", which were published in 1911. It gives historical insights into life at court and her service to the Dowager Empress, essentially a world that has disappeared.
