As the wife of the ruling monarch, she was able to encourage the poor to carry out land reclamation and to participate in the building of large royal storage granaries on elevated sites safe from flooding, thus ensuring grain supplies in times of need. The present temple in her honor was built in Vu Ninh Commune (Bac Ninh).
