"The Imperial Palace is a cold cage!" In this sentence, Japanese commoner Queen Michiko said: I have right to speak, and this sentence is my life.

As light of civilization gets brighter and brighter, even royal families of different countries began to become "softer" and more down to earth.

However, Japanese royal family seems to be very stubborn. Even today, Japanese royal family still adheres to many "old rules and regulations". In 1950s, though emperor had been dethroned by Allies, there were still several pages of rules in imperial family, one of which was that imperial family was not allowed to marry ordinary people.

Empress Michiko was first commoner to marry a member of imperial family. In a way, she changed Japanese imperial family, and many of rules of imperial family were also changed thanks to her.

Contrary to imagination of people who eat melons, marriage between Michiko and then-Prince Akihito is not a political marriage that often appears in movies and TV dramas. Then this beautiful girl was married to love.

However, harsh treatment of royal family, estrangement of her husband afterwards, and suffocating marine life in palace - all this turned this once full of laughter girlinto "The Woman with Mask", in later years she even rebelliously said that she was unworthy of being buried with emperor, and she has no love for her husband.

Some people say that in first few years of Michiko's marriage, even others can feel love between them. In recent years, citizens of Japan can clearly see in "old photos" left by Michiko. Her smile is genuinely happy.

However, in photographs left by Empress Michiko today, people can also clearly sense that smile on her face is "tough" and "instrumental".

Among media and public, Michiko's speech always seems sloppy. She talks about happiness, but people can't see real happiness from her expression.

As for Michiko's series of tragic encounters with members of Japanese royal family, it has never stopped over past few decades. In 2013 Michiko even said "I'm just a commoner, and I have no right to be buried with Protoss Emperor, and I have no love for emperor." .

For a long time, no matter how rumors spread in outside world, even when her mother-in-law Queen Liangzi was alive, she continued to "spiritually mock" her, she tried her best to maintain image of royal family. in public.

Despite fact that Emperor Akihito did not really like her at time, she still held her husband's hand tightly and thanked audience for her husband's tolerance all time.

This "rebellious speech" in 2013 confused a huge number of people. It can be said that this passage for Emperor Akihito can be said to have pierced his heart!

This is indeed very embarrassing for Japanese royal family, who have always paid attention to managing "royal brand image". From another point of view, how offended Michiko must be if she said that.

Michiko Girls' Generation is not like that! At that time, commoner queen could be called goddess of both talent and appearance. She was not an aristocrat, but she was an aristocrat. Isn't she from a super Japanese business family? It can be foreseen that there will be a lot of suitors for such a goddess as Michiko.

Michiko and Akihito were originally people from two worlds, one being a "common human" and other being a "protoss". However, fate can be so "strange" sometimes. A friendly tennis match brought Akihito and Michiko together.

Michiko's beautiful appearance and temperament, as well as her lively and youthful personality, immediately made Akihito fall in love with her. In face of sincere and passionate love, all royal rules are just floating clouds. They soon fell in love with each other.

The royal family strongly opposes love between prince and common people. However, since Akihito was doing work of his father, Emperor Hirohito, Michiko became first commoner queen to marry a member of the royal family.

Some people say that the emperor's tolerance also has a premise. Although Michiko is not from aristocratic background, her sister-in-law's family's wealthy business is more fragrant than ordinary nobles, isn't it?

Moreover, opportunity to marry into a business family with great social influence and wealth also benefits royal family.

After getting married, Michiko soon deeply understood phrase "once entering palace, it is as deep as sea." The reason why Michiko said that she had no love for emperor in her later years has a lot to do with her suffocating and tragic royal life.

For example, on her big wedding day, Michiko's parents were embarrassed by royal family at behest of Empress Liangzi. When daughter got married, parents were not allowed to enter palace, and finally they stayed outside palace for a while. day.

It is said that even if she is a princess, Michiko cannot leave palace by accident, and most of her actions will be controlled by Imperial Household Agency.

Moreover, according to popular rumors, Empress Liangzi's mother-in-law has always disliked Michiko. Not only is she very strict with this daughter-in-law, but she always finds ways to annoy her.

Because of Queen Liangzi's attitude, some female officials in palace hall dared to intimidate princess. Those noble ladies and ladies also rejected her, which made her life in royal family very dull. Apparently, her civilian status is some kind of original sin in eyes of these "protoss".

Most importantly, Ming Ren gradually stopped pampering her after several years of marriage. In years leading up to her marriage, Mingren was really very supportive of her, and even Mingren helped her fight for child to be raised by herself, which finally changed "Children can only be raised by their mother at 10 years old." years "The feudal flavor of rules is very strong.

Love can indeed relieve depression and pain to a certain extent.For first few years, with "love candy" that Akihito brought, Michiko still felt happy.

I don't know when Mingren stopped caring about her. Even when she was framed and thrown into limbo, husband who once loved her deeply did not reach out to her to help her.

Thus, Michiko, who lost her love, became a "nobody". The Imperial Palace is a magnificent cage for her. In her own words: The air in imperial palace is cold and stuffy.

She later suffered from depression and aphasia. Since then, this smiling girl has disappeared, and "Empress of Japan" instead of "Emperor's Girl" has appeared before people.

From day their love flower withered, Empress Michiko's heart turned cold. Perhaps from that moment on, she decided in her heart not to be buried with emperor.
