After his death, she married King Chungseon. It was said that her relationship with the King's beloved wife, Lady Gim was not good[3] since the two of them received the same gogo (고고, 姑姑), an official hat that was worn by the women of the Yuan imperial clan.[4][5] Since Heo was the mother-in-law of the Emperor, she even went to Yuan's Imperial Palace to inquire about her son-in-law. During a banquet, Lady Heo and Lady Kim changed their attire five times to show off their luxurious clothes and appearance.[3] all of her children married into noble families and the Yuan Imperial Family.
