After Liu E became queen, why did she force the maid-in-waiting to have children for herself?

Because Liu E has never been able to have children, in order to ascend the position of queen, she let the maid get pregnant and have children, and then claimed that she had given birth to her own children. Liu E was born in a relatively wealthy family. Unfortunately, her father died on the battlefield shortly after she was born. Since then, only her mother has lived with her, and the mother and daughter have been living a wandering life.

When she grew up, Liu E followed her cousin to Beijing to make a living. Liu E's cousin is good at drumming. Every time she plays drums, she dances with Liu E, which strengthens the then Prince Zhao Heng in a performance. Zhao Heng fell in love with Liu E at first sight, and Liu E was moved by the handsome young prince. They soon developed feelings, but this was opposed by Zhao Heng's wet nurse. Later, it also shocked Zhao Heng's father. He was very angry and thought that Liu E was born from humble origins and was not worthy of Prince Zhao Heng, so they were not allowed to have contact again.

But also immediately for Zhao Heng refers to the marriage, married the daughter of power to be a crown princess, but the more this relationship is suppressed, the more it is cut. Zhao Heng secretly bought a house for Liu E to live in, and often found opportunities to sneak out of the palace to see Liu E until Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne. The first thing Zhao Heng did when he became king was to bring Liu E into the palace and make her the imperial concubine, second only to the queen.

Shortly after the queen died of illness, Zhao Heng had the idea of making Liu E the queen, and tampered with Liu E's identity, raising her background, but Liu E never gave birth to a child, which is the biggest problem. Later, Liu E thought of a way to let her maid serve Zhao Heng. Then the maid got pregnant and gave birth to a prince. Zhao Heng announced that the child was born to Liu Esheng. This time, no one objected, and Liu E successfully ascended the throne of the queen.
