She was born and raised in Trach Xa village, Thanh Tri district, Hanoi. Since childhood, she showed great skill and ability in growing mulberry trees, raising silkworms, weaving, and sewing. When King Dinh Tien Hoang (Dinh Bo Linh) returned to Trach Xa to recruit heroes, he met and married a village girl who was both beautiful and skillful. In the capital Hoa Lu, King Dinh appointed Nguyen Thi Sen as Queen. In Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu, King Dinh Tien Hoang (924-979) established 5 Queens with the titles: Dan Gia, Trinh Minh, Kieu Quoc, Co Quoc and Ca Ong. Although the official history records the titles of the 5 Queens of the Dinh Dynasty, it does not clearly state the official names of each. At the royal palace, she was assigned to manage the Royal Costume Department. With her intelligence, ingenuity and creativity, she and her concubines created clothes for the Prince, Prince, Queen and Royal Court, all of which were both elegant and convenient. At the end of 979, Dinh Tien Hoang was murdered in the palace, and the power of the harem was transferred to Queen Duong Van Nga and Le Hoan. Nguyen Thi Sen and her daughter, Princess Lien Hoa, left the Hoa Lu royal palace and returned to her hometown of Trach Xa. Mrs. Sen was a kind-hearted person, always helping the poor and the disadvantaged. She taught sewing to many villagers, helping them earn more income and stabilize their lives. Since Queen Nguyen Thi Sen brought her back, the sewing profession has been associated with Trach Xa village and has become the village's traditional profession. Trac Xa village is famous for sewing ao dai, festival and royal dresses. This craft village gathers many talented tailors, with their skillful hands, who have created beautiful traditional Vietnamese ao dai, famous at home and abroad.
