Page "Emperor Jing of Han" Paragraph 17

In 153 BC, because Empress Bo did not have a son, Emperor Jing created his oldest son Liu Rong ( 劉榮 ) crown prince.

This made Liu Rong's mother, Consort Li ( 栗姬 ), who was one of Emperor Jing's favorite concubines, extremely arrogant.

She also thought she would be created empress, particularly after Empress Bo was deposed in 151 BC, following Grand Empress Dowager Bo's death.

She hated Emperor Jing's sister Princess Liu Piao, because Princess Piao had often given her brother beautiful women as concubines, drawing Consort Li's jealousy.

When Princess Piao wanted to end this dispute by giving her daughter Chen Jiao as wife to Prince Rong, Consort Li refused.
