Ethan Lu is the legitimate son, but not the eldest son.
The current empress is not the former empress, but the successor whom the emperor married after the former empress died. She is the former niece of the former empress. She is young and was a famous talented woman in the imperial city before entering the palace.
When she followed Empress Yuan into the palace, the emperor took a fancy to her at first sight.
The empress was very good at controlling people, and now, almost twenty years have passed, and she still enjoys the emperor's favor.
Fortunately, Empress Yuan had no children, so she could easily bypass those illegitimate princes who were older than Ethan Lu and make Ethan Lu, the seventh son, the crown prince.
