The ladies all quickly rose to their feet upon hearing this.
The Empress pays two visits every year: one for Marquis Zhongyong's birthday, and the other, rain or shine, is today!
On occasion, the emperor would accompany the Empress on these visits.
That is to say, if both the Emperor and the Empress go to wish Marquis Zhongyong and the old lady a happy birthday, which officials from all levels in the Imperial City wouldn't come?
Because of this action by the Emperor and Empress, the common people hail them as the most filial Emperor and Empress in history.
In all dynasties, which emperor or empress had ever done such a thing? They always say that the harem rules are important! The females in the harem are not free to leave the palace, but the common people believe otherwise. Who established the harem rules? Who needed to agree for the rules to be set?
If it was not the Emperor, it had to be approved by him before being implemented.
