   "Your Majesty, this humble subject has recently felt increasingly exhausted and powerless. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to retire... To my hometown." Inside the magnificent palace, a three-year-old girl with her hair in a bun knelt in the center of the hall, her voice sweet and innocent, yet her words were clear and articulate. The ministers listening had gone from initial shock to suppressed laughter, then numbness, and finally calm. Only the emperor remained as troubled as ever. He looked at the kneeling figure below and said helplessly, "Get up and speak. It's freezing cold; be careful not to hurt your knees." Jiang Yueyao obediently stood up, patting her dust-free skirt, striking a composed and dignified pose. However, at only three years old, no matter how composed she appeared, she still looked like a little brat trying to act like an adult, making her even more endearing. The emperor waited until she finished before asking, "Yueyue, why did you resign today?" Jiang Yueyao stirred the tassels hanging from her skirt and pouted, "It's too cold in winter, and I can't get up. I don't want to go to the morning court."
