Because the emperor has the right, he can marry countless concubines, but there will always be only one empress, which is enough to see the power of the empress. Moreover, because the empresses were liked by the emperor, they had the right to be buried with the emperor. However, if these queens want to live happier, she will have to give birth to more princes. Moreover, in ancient times, having a son could lay the foundation for her own status, so the empress attached great importance to her son. The person who was able to bear children the most in history was Empress Yifu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After marrying the emperor, he gave birth to 12 boys in succession, and these boys were very honorable. However, I did not expect that the final result was really tragic, and I was poisoned by the emperor's order.
Empress Yifu was born a particularly noble family, her family was very powerful at that time, and her grandfather once defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty and eventually became a relative of the emperor. Because of the relationship of dependence, the emperor married her daughters, and some of the other girls became concubines. Yi Fu's mother was a father-daughter relationship with Emperor Xiaowen, and the emperor was a cousin, because she grew up to be very intelligent and cheerful, and her table liked her since she was a child, so she was solemnly married back after she reached the age of 16.
In the beginning of this period, because Yuan Baoju had not yet ascended the emperor, the husband and wife were very affectionate, and in the following 15 years, they bore him nearly 12 children, but 10 were tragically affected, and only 2 were fortunate to grow up. And after that he ascended the throne. However, he was only a puppet emperor, and after he ascended the throne, he still liked his wife and gave the position of prince to his son.
However, after not singing for a long time, the Rouran army attacked vigorously, and the people lived in poverty, Yuwen Tai thought of a good way, that is, to marry the princess to the Khan in a harmonious manner. Later, the princess was married to Emperor Wen of Wei, but the condition was to let her become a sister-in-law, otherwise there was no way to be with her, and for the sake of peace, she sacrificed her family to become a nun, so Princess Rouran became the latest empress.
But Yuan Baoju still missed her very much, so he thought of various ways to take her back, Princess Rouran was very angry after she knew it, so she told the Khan about it, and then Rouran began to consult him, there was no way Yuanbaoju could only order her to be poisoned, this ending was really too sad.
