Elegant Ornament, and one more.
Having spent far too much time trying to crack this question, I give
up. Here's what I've found so far:
"Radiant Countenance" is the reigning name of "Wan Jung", the first
wife of the Last Emperor of China, P'u Yi. The Last Emperor had a total
of five wives/concubines: Wan Jung, Wen Hsui, Tan Yu Ling, Li Yu Chin
and Li Shu Hsien.
I presume that "Long White Mountains" and "Elegant Ornament" are the
reigning names of two of the other wives/concubines, and the answer to
the question is therefore the reigning name of one of the remaining
two.
But I can't find the answer anywhere, and I have a "normal" life I have
to get back to. So I'd appreciate it if someone could put me out of my
misery and answer this damned question.
Cheers,
Broggers

Go and rent the movie, "Hang the Red Lantern". It's a Chinese movie, and
the subject, if I recall correctly, is P'u Yi and his five wives. Maybe
you can find the answer therein.

I'll try "Eastern Jewel" because there's a credit for that character
in the movie "The Last Emperor," and it has the right kind of sound to
it, doesn't it?

Well, I didn't recall correctly. It's "_Raise_ the Red Lantern", not "hang"
it, dang it. And, although the film may be symbolically about P'u Yi, the
character with the five wives is merely "a wealthy landowner" and not the
emperor.
Sorry if I sent anyone chasing wild geese. The movie's still worth renting,
though.

Jade Years.
Tan Yu Ling was "Jade Years" and Li Yu Chin was "Jade Lute". Both
were consorts while P'u Yi was Emperor of Manchukuo, reigning as
K'ang Teh ("Tranquility and Virtue").

Looking at the humongous hint again, I wonder if maybe all we needed
was "Pu Yi"?
