Can't a Six-Year-Old Be Empress?

In the winter of the twenty-eighth year of Qingli, a secret imperial decree thrust six-and-a-half-year-old Shen Qinghe into the eye of the storm. The Crown Prince was not the Empress’s son. Three princes still in swaddling clothes were eyeing the throne, and sixteen consorts were plotting against one another. The fight for succession was about to erupt. She had only wanted to survive in the imperial palace, but was forced into a hidden plot at the bathhouse. Her only ally was seven-and-a-half-year-old Mu Jinyan! He was too calm, far too calm for a child. He said, “Qinghe, we meet again.” But in this life, they were clearly meeting for the first time.
