Chapter 150: The Visitors are Not Good

According to ancestral rules, after the late Emperor's passing, if the new Emperor is a son of a concubine, both the Empress and the new Emperor's birth mother may be bestowed the title of Empress Dowager.

Take Zong Zhengxi, for instance. Now that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, the rankings of those in the harem remain unchanged. However, once the Supreme Emperor passes, both the Empress and Consort Li will become Empress Dowagers.

It was precisely for this reason that Meng Qianqian was puzzled about why the Supreme Emperor had not elevated his birth mother.

The Supreme Emperor, during his reign, was by no means a puppet ruler. He held real power in his hands. Unless he was unwilling, no one could force him.

Meng Qianqian couldn't figure it out, so she gave up thinking about it altogether.
