What is the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor?

Actually, they are colleagues. Although many people always think that the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are husband and wife, they are actually just colleagues. Maybe the routine in the TV series is too deep, so we misunderstood.

In The Journey to the West, there is no clear concept about the relationship between two people, but in the visible fragments, we feel that they are very close. Together with the seven fairies, we will feel that they are a couple, and the seven fairies are the children of two people.

In fact, the relationship between immortals is very complicated. Sometimes I can't see the relationship between the immortals, and sometimes I don't even know their respective positions.

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Jade Emperor is different from that of the emperors and empresses in our world. They are just cooperative, both working in their respective posts, but in fact they all have their own families.
