Chapter 20
"Women in the palace have no future if they don't have children, so you must find a way to get pregnant early, and it's best to be a prince, so as to guarantee your future."

Speaking of this, Xia Tinglan couldn't help sighing: "If there is really no prince, it would be good to have a princess. I have been married to the first emperor for five years, and he favored the charming concubine Yan, who made me stay alone in my empty boudoir. I just want to Even a child can't do it, if I had a child and was a prince, the current situation wouldn't be so embarrassing."

Linglong could hear the strong unwillingness and resentment in her tone.

Yes, as the emperor's empress, if she has a son, she can definitely support her son to succeed to the throne as the empress dowager.

But now, the first emperor died of heirs, and Jin Mingxuan, a side branch cousin, inherited the throne. As the first emperor's empress was on the same level as the new emperor, she could not be honored as empress dowager, but could only remain empress, the former emperor's empress.

Here I want to explain that the empress, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager, the noble women of the trinity are all empresses in essence, and the changes in their identities mainly depend on their relationship with the current emperor.

Take a chestnut, for example, the domineering and powerful Queen Mother Guo in "The Scheming of the Palace". She has experienced seven emperors in the Tang Dynasty in her life, and the five dynasties are extremely honorable. The successive emperors are different and constantly changing.

For Guo's husband, Tang Xianzong, she was Empress Yi'an who was posthumously pursued after her death.

But for her son Tang Muzong, her identity is a mother, and she is one generation behind, so adding the word "Tai" to her honorary title becomes the Empress Dowager.

As for her grandsons Tang Jingzong, Tang Wenzong and Tang Wuzong, her identity is a grandmother, two generations behind, so two "too" characters should be added to her title, so she becomes the empress dowager.

However, after the death of his grandson Tang Wuzong, Tang Xuanzong Li Yi was supported by the eunuchs and used his concubine to seize the heir to become his great treasure. However, the Guo family changed from the extremely honorable empress dowager to the empress dowager.

Maybe many people will wonder, Guo Shi is obviously already the empress dowager, how could she suddenly become the empress dowager again? Could it be that Tang Xuanzong was dissatisfied with her and demoted her on purpose?
In fact, this is not the case. The empress, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager are all one. In essence, the empress,
The reason why the Guo family changed from the Empress Dowager to the Empress Dowager is mainly because the current emperor Li Yi is her husband's concubine son, and the concubine respects his aunt to be the empress dowager, which is completely in line with the legal system, and there is no demotion at all.

Generally speaking, the change of queen status depends on the patriarchal relationship with the current emperor. One generation difference plus a "tai" word is the empress dowager, and two generations difference plus two "tai" characters is the empress dowager.

If it is the first emperor and queen who is brother and brother, the word "tai" will not be added, and the queen will still be the queen, but in order to be different from the current queen, the emperor will give the first emperor and queen of the same generation a title to show respect.

And Xia Tinglan, as the late emperor's empress, had a sister-in-law relationship with the late emperor Jin Mingxuan, not a mother-child relationship, so she could not obtain the honorary title of Empress Dowager, and could only remain as empress.

However, she, the former emperor's empress, is different from the soon-to-be empress Min family.

If the Min family made a big mistake, Jin Mingxuan could issue an order to abolish her, but if the person who made the mistake was Xia Tinglan, Jin Mingxuan could not issue an order to abolish her.
