You're Dead to Me · Empress Dowager Cixi (Radio Edit) · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

But she was given to a prince.

So she was given to the brother of the emperor.

So she, when she was chosen, she actually, because there are nine ranks.

Yes.

Okay.

So there's only one empress, but the rest are senior, you know, all the sorts of titles.

So she actually starts at rank six out of nine.

Nine.

Yeah.

In a way, the only difference is that she gave birth to a son.

On the 27th of April, 1856, gave birth to a son called Zai Chun.

With the son, she can walk with her head high.

Yeah.

She can't be empress because the empress was already there.

The empress is like the first wife you never touch.

You can't touch her because it's a political marriage.

Her talent helped at this point because it's mid-1850s.
