If only Ula-Nara clanswoman had been chosen as the primary consort years before, both mother and daughter in law would be powerful, strong allies. Able to unite the harem and the court.

I agree, but since Ruyi was her Aunt's niece the Empress Dowager was biased against her, she needed someone who was demure and could easily manipulate. Ruyi was docile and respectful but was always loyal to her heart and doing what's right; but yeah they would've been great working together.

@@lizzie_b , Ruyi was NOT docile. After she became Empress, she was the only one who kept the Emperor in check and actually told him no.. Empress Fuca was indeed a pushover and despite her scheming, she lived in constant fear with the Emperor because she knew she was originally his second choice. She could never say no to him.

No, the mother and Ruyi's aunt had a relationship the same as Ruyi & the empress. That is the reason Ruyi wasn't chosen to begin with After all, the mother gave Ruyi poison and told her that she or her aunt had to die. Their relationship had to grow to where it is here

It took Ruyi awhile but she finally won over the Empress Dowager & she ended up being the only 1 that the Empress Dowager truly liked & had some amount of respect for despite her animosity & cruel treatment towards Ruyi in the beginning. Ruyi eventually was able to prove herself that she wasn't vindictive, dishonest, cruel or manipulative like the empress Dowager believed her to be but that opinion was mainly due to the hatred/fued she had with Ruyi's aunt.

The Dowager had become suspicious and cynical thanks to her own battles with the harem "bitches" in her younger days, including the betrayal of a close friend. She had learned never to trust anybody at face value.

Can someone please explain to me, why does everyone refer to themselves as “chengche” but only the Empress dowager says “Aija” when referring to herself. Also why does everyone call the Emperor “Huangsha” but the the Empress dowager is the only that calls him “Huangdi”? *Apologies if I spelled any of those words wrongly

Three terms for the Emperor, in order of formality, 圣上 - Shengshang 'His holiness above' 皇上 - Huangshang 'the One above the royal throne', everybody lower than the Emperor (so, everybody) 皇帝 - Huangdi, 'royal monarch' it's not rude per se to use this, but people usually address the emperor with a term that puts his status above them. It's like saying "Your Honor" instead of "Judge". Everybody referred to themselves in the third person unless speaking with someone of equal status/ intimate relation. 哀家 - Aijia, 'this grieving one' used only by the Empress dowager because she is grieving the former emperor. 臣妾 - chenqie ‘this subject concubine' used by all of the Emperor's concubines. The empress may use this term, although I've often heard that they are the only ones who can use '臣妻‘ which is this subject wife, but I'm not sure whether that's historically accurate.

@@txr200 I want to add a little bit The Dowager Empress call the Emperor Huangdi because she is the mother of the Emperor so in order of the seniority she is above the Emperor. Huangdi means Emperor, so Dowager Empress call the Emperor, Emperor. While the rest of the people call him Huangshang or His Majesty. For the Emperor's harem, The Empress is the Leader of it so she call herself with Ben'gung to refer herself. But when she talks to Emperor or Dowager Empress she calls herself Chencie. Because of this drama i noticed that the rest of the Concubines also refer to themselves with Ben'gung when they talk to someone with lower status. And that's started with concubine with title Pin and above. While they refer themselves with Cencie when talking to someone above them.
