After the empress ascended the throne, she has been living in the palace and rarely returned to the Princess' Mansion.

Princess Fengyang Yan Yushu has lived here for more than two years.

After recovering from her illness, she had nothing to do every day and could only watch the sun rise and count the days.

The maids did not treat her harshly, and did not deduct her three meals a day, but they did not treat her too well either, because the specifications of the three meals a day did not match her status.

Of course, Yan Yushu would not care about this, she knew she was not qualified to care.

She still had the status of a princess, but in fact she was a prisoner. It was very good that the servants did not flatter her and humiliate her.

They would not say too much to her, but occasionally when something big happened in the court, they would convey it to her, and I don't know if it was at the instruction of His Majesty.

When Prince An died, Yan Yushu knew.

She didn't expect him to be the first prince to die, after all, he looked so indifferent to fame and fortune.

At first, Yan Yushu only felt that Yan Donghuang had changed, and had become completely different from when she was young. She had the ambition that only men have, and she was not gentle and submissive as a girl should be.

But she changed her mind and thought, when she sat on that supreme position, who in the world would be willing to be gentle and submissive to others? It should be others who are gentle and submissive to her.

Yan Ming was demoted to a commoner, and later Yan Zhang was also demoted to a commoner.

Then the Sheng family fell.

All those who opposed her had a bad end.

Yan Yushu often wondered, is it inevitable that everyone who sits on the throne, regardless of gender, will have to eliminate dissidents?

She thought that the other three princes could not escape this fate.

But later... she no longer dealt with her brothers, but was busy cleaning up Nanling.

When Yan Yushu heard this from the maid, she was in a trance. Donghuang had only been on the throne for a short time, and he was going to start a war so soon. Her foundation was not stable. Would there be any changes?

That Feng Yaoguang used to be loyal to her, but if he was sent to attack Nanling, would he take advantage of the military power in his hands and establish himself as emperor in Nanling?

There is no man who doesn't love power.

What if...

What if...

Every time something happened in the court, she had to assume more than one result, but each result slapped her in the face. Time and again, facts proved that Donghuang was capable of being an emperor, and he did a good job, better than the emperors of previous dynasties.

She even specially selected women to study with her so that women could also have the opportunity to become officials.

Her courage is unmatched.

Later, Yan Yushu couldn't help but want to compare her sad life with Yan Donghuang, and she finally realized her narrow-mindedness and stupidity.

In this world, a woman who compromises will never be respected by men.

Even if she sits on the throne of the empress, if Donghuang is not strong enough, those officials in the court who are used to enjoying the respect of men will never be tolerant because of her concessions. They will only approach step by step and force her to do all kinds of things she doesn't want to do, just to satisfy the interests of the court officials.

For example, filling the harem, preventing women from becoming officials, and not interfering in politics.

So being tough is right.

Unfortunately, she woke up too late and was unable to witness the ceremony of Donghuang's enthronement, her mighty conquest of the world, her grace as the ruler of the world, and her happiness when she got married.

In this life, she may only be able to spend her life alone here.

"Her Majesty is here!" A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.

The two maids outside had already knelt down, but Yan Yushu turned her head in a daze as if she was dreaming, and looked at Yan Donghuang, who was dressed in casual clothes, walking over.

The emperor's majesty had substance at this time.

Even if she didn't wear a dragon robe, the aura she exuded was daunting, even better than when she was the Princess of Qingluan.

Identity and power are the best aura of a person.

Yan Yushu stood up, straightened her clothes, and knelt down solemnly to salute: "Princess Fengyang Yan Yushu, I pay my respects to the emperor and wish him a long life!"

"Get up." Yan Donghuang walked to the side and sat down, "Are you used to living here?"

Yan Yushu was a little hurried: "Nothing is unusual. It's just that this is your majesty's residence, and it's against the rules for me to continue living here."

"It's indeed against the rules, so I plan to give you another house." Yan Donghuang's voice was light, without much emotional fluctuation, "The house is not big, and there won't be many maids and servants. I just want you to live a quiet and smooth life for the rest of your life."

Yan Yushu knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The house is not big, and there are not many maids.

As a princess, she will not have a very high status, but she will have no problem with food and clothing.

This is already very good.

Yan Yushu is really content.

"Your Majesty, how are you doing recently?"

Yan Donghuang glanced at her and nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Yan Yushu laughed at herself: "I was stupid before, wasn't I? Narrow-minded, self-deprecating, and even wanted to drag Your Majesty along... Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have been born in the royal family."

"There's no need to talk about the past." Yan Donghuang said this, got up and left, "Your mansion has been arranged, someone will take you there later. There's nothing important in the future, so you don't have to come to the palace to pay your respects often."

Yan Yushu was stunned and knelt down to see His Majesty off.
