After the death of Alaba Khan, she implemented the policy of continuing friendly exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, maintaining a stable and harmonious relationship between the Tumut Ministry and the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years. During this period, she actively carried out peaceful and reciprocal trade and cultural exchanges with the Central Plains, promoting the economic and cultural development of Inner Mongolia. In the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), the Ming Dynasty government named her Lady Zhongshun, and named Alaba Khan and his descendants King Shunyi. A plaque preserved on the gate of Meidaizhao is engraved with 16 words: "The imperial plan is consolidated, the imperial road is Xianning, the people are happy and the world is clarified", which expresses the significance of national stability and peace and people living and working in peace and contentment.
