Chapter 239

The emperor turned the lapis lazuli beads in his hand: "Concubine Li is the person with the highest ranking in the harem. She has been in charge of the sixth palace for several years, and she is also the niece of the mother's empress. She needs status, qualifications, and ability." Ability, she deserves the position of empress. It's just that Empress Yuanxian passed away less than a year ago, and her son really doesn't have the intention to become an empress. Come to canonize, it’s almost winter now, there are no good days to canonize this year, let’s wait until next year.”

The Empress Dowager smiled, her eyes were as deep as a mirror, seeming to see through the depths of the emperor's heart.

She thought about it and said: "The emperor values ​​affection, and I can understand this. It's just that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the harem cannot be without a master for a day. Since there is no suitable day to be a queen, let's make an emperor first." The noble concubine, as a deputy empress, governs the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and wait until next year, when a good day is chosen, to hold the empress ceremony with great excitement."

The harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty is divided into nine levels, empress, imperial concubine, imperial concubine, concubine, concubine, nobleman, Changzai, promise and official woman, and imperial concubine is the second only to the empress.

It's just that although there is the seat of imperial concubine in the harem, it is usually suspended but not erected. Where the empty seat is placed, it is not canonized.

The reason for such an arrangement is because the imperial concubine is in the same position as the deputy queen, she is extremely honorable and has the power infinitely close to that of the queen.

The emperor does not have two wives, the emperor can only have one 'empress', the empress is the main empress, and the imperial concubine is the deputy empress, but the deputy empress is also a 'empress', if it is a registered imperial concubine, it will directly shake the status of empress.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been an unwritten rule that when the queen is present, no imperial concubine can be registered. The rationale for coexistence.

If the two are to be honored equally, unless it is after death, or a certain concubine is dying, the emperor will also decree Jin to confer the imperial concubine out of comfort before death, but that person will basically confer the imperial concubine a few years later. He died of illness in the future.

Therefore, if the queen is still alive, the emperor will not confer the title of imperial concubine. He is afraid that the appearance of the imperial concubine will shake the posthumous position and cause restlessness in the harem. He would joke that the Uranala family has gone bad: "I don't know, I thought that the empress is like Queen Borzigit, hearing the word 'imperial concubine' is like an enemy."

It is precisely because the empress and the imperial concubine cannot exist at the same time that the empress dowager asked the emperor to make Linglong the imperial concubine temporarily, in order to completely block the chance of Concubine Hui becoming empress.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager is also well aware of the truth that 'change comes later'. Only by confirming the position of imperial concubine first, can Linglong's position as empress be assured, otherwise the imperial concubine's aunt and nephew will definitely regenerate.

The empress dowager first lashed out at the emperor about the false accusation of adultery, which left him speechless, and then brought up the issue of empress dowager.

After being silent for a while, the emperor finally nodded: "Forget it, let's make an imperial concubine first, and we will talk about the matter of becoming a queen next year."

The Empress Dowager smiled lightly: "That's right, first confer the imperial concubine, let Li Guifei temporarily take care of the affairs of the Six Palaces as a vice queen, and stabilize the harem so that the emperor can concentrate on handling political affairs."
