Empress Fu (符皇后; given name unknown) (c. 931 – 29 August 956[2]), posthumously Empress Xuanyi (宣懿皇后) was an empress consort of the Chinese Later Zhou dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. She was invested the empress in 954 when her husband Guo Rong (Chai Rong) became the second Later Zhou emperor. Three years after her death, Guo Rong married her younger sister when he fell critically ill.
Originally the wife of Li Chongxun (李崇訓), she was widowed in 949 following a narrow escape from death. After Chai was also widowed in 950, they married through the arrangement of Chai's adoptive father and Later Zhou's founding emperor Guo Wei.
