In fact, it is easy to understand that Sun Shangxiang was not awarded the title of Queen Mother. Because Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Wu who were posthumously sealed had good reasons. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, Mrs. Wu was tricked back to Soochow by Sun Quan and persuaded by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to marry Liu Bei. Mrs Wu was originally Liu Xie's wife. Later, after Liu Xie died, she became a widow. Although she is a widow, her status is still there. Before Liu Bei, all his wives died and left, so Mrs. Wu got married smoothly. Later, Liu Bei became the king, and Mrs. Wu was made the queen of Hanzhong. After Liu Bei became the emperor, Mrs. Wu became the queen. Even after Liu Bei's death, Mrs Wu was named Wu Zetian by Liu Chan.
These are all very logical. Then Mrs. Gan is more normal, even if it is only Liu Bei's concubine, but Liu Beinian followed Liu Bei around to help take care of the family. In order to thank her, Liu Bei named her the wife of the heir, and then Liu Chan ascended the throne. Mrs. Gan is Liu Bei's real wife and biological mother, and it is normal to call her Queen Zhao Lie. After all, her own son is an emperor.
On the other hand, Sun Shangxiang, an obvious political marriage, was originally a beautiful misunderstanding and a conspiracy set by Zhou Yu, but it was resolved by Zhuge Liang's three moves. Until Sun Shangxiang followed Liu Bei back to Shu Han, the relationship between them was always in a very tense state. Why? Regardless of Sun Shangxiang's strong-willed personality, she took a group of handmaids who only listened to her orders and were armed to the teeth at all times, making Liu Beidong's room trembling and treading on thin ice, forcing him to consult with Fazheng and Zhuge Liang. Moreover, Zhuge Liang once told Liu Bei that the main danger of Han Shu Group at that time was Cao Cao, not Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang.
Because Sun Shangxiang himself was unruly at that time, not to mention that his men were doing evil in the public security city, which had seriously damaged Liu Bei's reputation, and Liu Bei's reputation was the most important, so Liu Bei chose to let Sun Shangxiang live alone in the west of the city for various reasons. This place was later called "the city of Mrs. Sun", which was for Mrs. Sun and her entourage to live alone. Of course, such a broken marriage did not last long. When Sun Shangxiang didn't have Liu Bei, Liu Bei went to Yizhou. When Sun Quan knew about it, he cheated him back with his gun, and he wanted to get Dou back and threaten Liu Bei. Those who didn't know the truth almost took Dou away. Fortunately, Zhao Yun stopped the river and cut it back.
In ancient marriage, the wife could not return to her family unilaterally, which was not allowed. So, this is Sun Shangxiang's fault. This marriage has become a taboo for Liu Bei, so it is impossible to give her any name.
It can be said that even if Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei really loved each other as in the romance, when she returned to Soochow without authorization and Liu Bei married Mrs. Wu, she had no chance. To tell the truth, apart from Sun Shangxiang, even Mrs Mi, who was displaced from place to place with Liu Bei and suffered a lot, has no title, but there are still many wives and concubines who died young like her. These people didn't even leave their names. In addition, there is no mention of Sun Shangxiang's double suicide by jumping into the river in the official history. Even if it did happen, when Liu Bei married Mrs Wu, there was no hope for Sun Shangxiang.
Many people who have seen romance think that this marriage is a story of the Three Kingdoms, but even the best packaging can't change the reality that they are political marriages. Everyone with discerning eyes knows that marriage is just a dream. The two countries are really going to turn against each other. Finally, instead of going back to every family and looking for every mother.
