The Queen mocked Ruyi, but the Emperor frightened her so much that her face turned pale!

So the Emperor is twenty something. The women all late teens. Its a bit creepy.

Why? It's normal at that time and it's normal for noble and royalty's to get married once they turn 15 or 16. Besides if I'm not mistaken, he wasn't rly far off with his wives. Only by a year or two.

​@@waniemizuno1596It depends on which wife. The first empress was only a year younger since she was first to marry. The second (Nara) was 7 years younger. Of course, as he got older, any new concubines would still be 15-17 when they entered the harem despite the emperor being much older than them.
