For a while, it seemed like the emperor would select him and even went as far as banning all her kids from possibly ascending the throne so it seems like that rule didn't exist in this story.
Technically he wasn’t birthed by the empress so he’s not. Only the children of the empress are legitimate children

You are correct that it is a pity. If I remember correctly I think even the empress Dowager said so herself that it was a shame Youngqi wasn't a legitimate Heir because he was raised so well
