| Unlike Okisaki (an Empress) who is a lawful wife of Emperor and has long history before the ritsuryo system introduced, Hi was considered as 'a employee of Kokyu palace' who fulfills a role as Emperor's spouse provided in Gokushikiinryo (後宮職員令) (The Administrative Code of Kokyu palace). |
ただし、天皇の正妃「大后」として律令制以前からの歴史を有する皇后とは違い、妃は後宮職員令に定められた「後宮の職員」の職務として天皇の配偶者の役割を果たすものと考えられている。 |
