Recognizing that this anime may have some difficult terminology and some of the dialogue is rather delicate, I have some basic questions...

(1) Is Shuurei's father the head of the palace treasury or is he the librarian?
(2) Does Shuurei complain about having to buy barley or wheat, or, alternatively, is there no difference between the two in the vernacular?
(3) Is Shuurei the imperial consort or the empress, or, alternatively, is there no real distinction, given the historical context? Empress makes the relationship sound more permanent and higher status than what seems to be shown. Is the highest-ranked consort the empress, and therefore Shuurei is the empress by default? That seems to be implied by Shuurei being surprised at being addressed as ki.
(4) Does Seiran become a captain of the guard, or merely an officer of the guard?
(5) Is the emporer one of six brothers or one of five brothers?
(6) Does Shuurei say that she is there to save the emporer or to help him?

Thanks!
