Once, Minh Anh Tong suddenly noticed that the Empress's family only held fairly trivial and unimportant official positions. So he wanted to promote and title some members of the Tien Thi family so that the Empress could raise her eyebrows. But when the king mentioned this to the queen, the queen immediately refused.

She said that, in the family, no one has made a great contribution to the court or has outstanding talent to deserve the title.

The winter with the severe cold made the First Empress's health deteriorate to the point of losing a leg and blinding an eye when she was only 24 years old.

After many events, Minh Anh Tong was finally handed over to the Ming dynasty by the Mongols. But at this time, the court had a new king, so Minh Anh Tong was taken to prison in the Southern palace.
