What do you mean, madam?

A royal wife is equivalent to the mother or wife of a state official now. It is a seal for the mother or wife of a senior official in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The emperor's wife also has grades. Take the Song Dynasty as an example, there are nine classes: first-class country wives, second-class county wives, third-class Shu people, fourth-class grandfathers, fifth-class people, sixth-class people, seventh-class people, eighth-class people, and ninth-class Confucian people. The higher the death level, the more privileges you can enjoy.

The title of "Madam of the Imperial Decree" is generally obtained after they have made great contributions to the imperial court. This is a high honor, no matter where you go, you can get respect and love from others.

It is not a simple matter to want to have the status of concubine. There are many restrictions. The first restriction is the first and second wives of officials. In other words, no matter how excellent and favored you are, if you are a concubine, you won't get a title.

Although the imperial edict is majestic, it indirectly proves that ancient women are only accessories of men, and the existence of the imperial edict lies in the mentality of rulers wooing officials.
