its pretty sexist and ignorant of you to think just because a man complains a woman can't do anything about it. This is like saying black people could never~ do anything about slavery because white people would get mad .=hint please google the American civil war/Black abolitionist / civil rights movements . Is it difficult ? Yes. Is it impossible no.
Woman take power from misogynistic males in patriarchal societies all the time, sometimes even with out ever having a male heir. So you either misogynist or you don't know have a deep knowledge on the issue. Examples
Queen Elizbeth of England
Empresses Maria Terresa of Austria
Empress Catrina the great of Russia
Cleopatra of Egypt
Hatshepsut, female pharaoh of Egypt
to name afew
In addition an Empress has more power then a queen in an monarchy , and even if the Emperor wants to make a fuss their are political leaders in their country at the moment so he'd have to wait. That's the reason why he stood up for her at the ball dance, and why he went on vacation with her for her birthday. He isn't a total fool and knows how his behavior looks to outsiders. A writer choosing to cripple the female character to an unrealistic doesn't mean she can't do anything 🙄.

The queen never said that, this is chapter ch.31, the queen [ a correct translation would be empress dowager, that the title of former empress] follow the rules and don’t post spoilers 😊 The chapter your thinking of is ch.32 and your quote is still incorrect.
Also the Dowager Queen isn’t the only person who educates the Empress in place now. The very first chapters explain the Empress entire family grooms the young girls to be Empress for generations . It may be difficult for some sexist to realize this but woman can “learn” stuff on their own in addition to their education. Again the Emperor is smart enough to keep Rasha out of politics so far, claiming the Empress can’t do this [which she can on her own authority and has threatened to enforce] is false.
