The Queen Mother taught the Queen a lesson about Lian Xin and promoted Ruyi to help manage the harem

皇上的心事怎麼可能輕易的讓太監知道

[@Meela234]

The Empress didn't mention anything about how she caused Yonglian's illness to flare up. She made him stand in the cold doorway.

@Meela234 她當然不敢啊

一直把嫡子掛嘴邊 結果把自己的兒子給害了

這皇后真的蠢得有剩，跟上屆宮鬥選手差太多了啦

18:48 怎麼從頭髮裡面拔出針啊😂

[@jieamy7753]

3:20 其實欽天監亂講，實際是不祥之兆，要不然玫嬪跟儀嬪的小孩怎麼那麼容易就被害，連嘉嬪最後的四阿哥也都出嗣了，大家都想搶在皇上登基後生小孩，但是在皇家裡，懷孕生子是會引人側目的，這根本就不是什麼大貴之胎啊😂

It's so interesting, this show's different take on what little we know about the Qianlong Emperor's harem. Historically Xiaoxianchun was the charitable and conservative one, and Nara was the bad one. This one paints Langua as charitable and frugal only when it suits her, and without much information on Ulanara, paints her as sweet and charitable but weak because of her virtue. That's nice, but this is the Qing harem and the whole world knows that you can't be nice there forever, so it wasn't believable that after decades, she never changed her personality after being vulnerable so many times. Qianlong placated her with bullshit and yet she never learned until the last few episodes. This is annoying and not a good character arc for the step-empress portions. It doesn't make her a strong protagonist. Sometimes you can see while watching that the writers struggled to keep up with this narrative or perhaps wrote themselves into a corner... For example, Ruyi being unable to defend herself later thanks to the establishment of her as a peaceful, upright character. It annoyed me because she never learned how to fight back with very obvious solutions. She had the power to punish those in the harem but didn't maintain order, relying only on her faction and the belief of her moral superiority. And so her children died or fell out of favor along with her. I kept thinking she would abandon her efforts to love Hongli for the sake of her kids but she was obsessed with him her whole life? Or, in the case of Consort Ling, writing her pitiful and sympathetic at first but forcing her into the villain even though she did her best to stay on Ruyi's good side. I didn't like this and wished Ruyi would have accepted her. She was ready to be subservient. Ruyi's reasoning for disliking Ling (she chose to become a wealthy concubine instead of a soldier's wife? Who wouldn't do that??) was not believable to me. The story doesn't need Ling to be the villain; it could have ended with her as a close ally of Ruyi's faction like with Empress Dowager. There were other great villains (Fuca Langua, Gao Xiyue, Jin Yuyan, A'ruo, Emperor). Her jump to being evil wasn't really justified and it was Ruyi's fault. Maybe Consort Qing (annoying big mouth) could have been the surprise villain? Still I love this show despite its issues, but the last third of the series I skip. I can't stand how nasty and cruel Qianlong became and Ruyi unable to accept it and preserve herself. She should have rejected the Empress seat as she already said earlier she just wants to have a peaceful life. Since time immemorial things change when you marry. But then that eliminates the historical basis... I do love how she rejects Hongli at the end. About time, woman. Overall, of the people that lived at the end only the Emperor was given a complete, well written character arc.

С удовольствием прочитала Ваш комментарий. Претензии к Руи понятны и обоснованны. Но не забывайте. Это не документальный фильм. Руи - главный герой. И она не может быть плохой. Иначе, получился бы сериал о склоках в гареме.

她故意講的，就是粉刷牆壁被加了蛇莓，會引來毒蛇，她想要讓儀貴人落胎，但責任推到皇后（皇后主動答應粉刷）跟貴妃身上
