Yeah. He and his wife were throwing their weight around and thought they were insulting Sasha and her mom, making them look bad. But all they were actually doing was making themselves look bad.
And the other nobles saw that. They now know that the emperor and empress are willing to mistreat others of royal blood. And that means that they would think nothing of mistreating any of the other nobles.
They have unknowingly put a noose around their own necks with their actions. Their time left on the throne is now officially ticking away. And that's even without Sasha being there to speed it up. That's just gonna make it all the faster and all the greater a fall.
Imagine being an adult and beefing with a 3 year old child, how low can you get? Hope she trips and falls on the stairs, hmph. Clearly, they don’t don’t deserve to be parents, judging by how they act towards a child.
