"Father won't appoint Noble Princess Consort Rong as Empress."
Hearing Zhao Yao's decisive statement, He Lianfang teased, "Why not? Do you think your father favors your mother, and might appoint your mother as Empress one day?"
"That's even more impossible. Father will never appoint my mother as Empress."
"Then who do you think your father will choose to be Empress, Princess Consort Li?" Noble Princess Consort Ying has no offspring, so she can't be Empress.
Zhao Yao: "Father will not appoint another Empress."
This was an answer He Lianfang hadn't expected, "The harem cannot be without an Empress. Even if your father doesn't wish to appoint another, the ministers won't agree. Moreover, the position of Empress is crucial in balancing the previous dynasty and harem."
