After the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai used his military power to get the coveted presidency from Mr. Zhongshan, but he was not satisfied at all, and wanted to have more power, hoping that all the people below could treat him like they had treated the emperor before. So he decided to continue the previously overthrown monarchy, and also to hold a very grand enthronement ceremony, the people below began to be busy for his dream of emperor, some of the needed clothes and crowns were also stepping up, and his aunts and wives felt that they were about to become the palace maidens, so they were very excited.
But these people do not include his haired wife Yu Shi, Yu Shi's origin is very prominent, so she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after marrying Yuan Shikai, she began to help him manage the inner courtyard, and did not take the time to read and write, even so, she is still a woman who has always been intellectual in her bones, in the face of the current situation, she is not as optimistic as other women in the backyard, but feels worried.
Although she is Yuan Shikai's wife, but the two people do not have much time to get along, compared to Yu Shi, Yuan Shikai still likes those beautiful concubines who know how to please him, but Yuan Shikai is also a person who attaches great importance to rules, and does not allow the family to respect and inferior, so even if he does not like Yu Shi very much, he still gives Yu Shi enough decency.
On the day before he became emperor, everyone was celebrating this happy event, his concubines and children were dressed up, but Yu Shi never appeared, which made Yuan Shikai a little unhappy, after all, at such an important time, how could his wife not be there? So he sent Ya Gui to invite Yu Shi.
Yu Shi walked in slowly, without gorgeous clothes or deliberate dressing, and the whole person seemed a little out of place. Yuan Shikai was dissatisfied with his wife's belated arrival, believing that she was putting the empress on the shelf. But Yu Shi coldly replied that she had never thought of being an empress, because Yuan Shikai was not qualified to be an emperor at all, and the democratic republic at that time was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, where he alone could change.
Yuan Shikai was very angry when he heard his wife's words, and he felt that his wife was too faceless for him, and the two people broke up unhappily.
The next day, Yuan Shikai walked to the dragon chair in the eyes of many people, and he felt that his road to emperor was about to begin, and the person who would control the fate of the entire country in the future would be him, but he did not think that his dream had only existed for a few months. Soon he chose to give up in the opposition of everyone, and it was not long before Yuan Shikai died, and his wife, who had never been able to please him, was the saddest one, she knew that she could not persuade Yuan Shikai to give up the dream of the emperor, but she also knew that Yuan Shikai at that time could not succeed, so she was very conflicted and painful.
In the third year after Yuan Shikai's death, she also died depressed. Compared with those concubines who had no foresight and only knew how to enjoy the glory and wealth with Yuan Shikai, Yu Shi was the one who always cared about him, but unfortunately, when Yuan Shikai was alive, the two people always did not speculate for more than half a sentence, and now when Yuan Shikai was spurned by everyone, only his wife would cry for him.
