This was the begining of the fall of Jia and her son. This planted the seed of suspicion in the emperor's mind. Later her bribing the members of the court and their wives only solidified the emperor's suspicion. Jia never learned to 'read the room'. At one point her son asked who had calculated against them. Jia answered the empress. She had just got caught by her own plans. Jia would have been better off not pushing so hard and just let her son succeed by his own merits.

At the starter she seems smart and cunning woman, probably because of Zhenshu was with her 😅😅 After Lixin become her head maid, she started to make open mistake like you said 😂😂

@@aliciagorgont2677 Easy to tell who the brains were.😉 Although she should have talked Jia out of trying to frame Ruyi. Did they really think Ruyi would not fight back after being framed the first time? Their scheme might have worked if they had picked ANYONE except the high priest/monk. Jia apparently didn't believe in Buddhism and therefore didn't realize how hard it would be for people to believe he would have a cardinal relationship.

Jia’s downfall was unfortunately a good indicator of how little Qianlong actually cared for Ruyi and only thought of himself. Ruyi suffered being framed by Jia multiple times and even lost a child because of Jia’s pet (which was in truth done by Ling, but that’s besides the point here). Jia was only punished temporarily and always came back to her old titles to save face with the Yu clan. However, Qianlong is threatened by a potential assassination due to Jia’s scheming for Yongcheng, and only then does he finally dispense with her. He should have done that ages ago based on what she did to Ruyi, but there was always something more important or whatever. His character is truly despicable in this drama.

@@AnhPham-ld1cz He let the murder of his children and framing of the concubines happen almost like accepted practices. The only time he dealt harsh/permanent punishments is when he was the victim.
I am an American and fell in love with Yanxi Palace.. was freaking awesome and my first Chinese drama.. Now trying to watch Ruyi.. Why the hell am I so confused? This is the same emperor? Same time frame.. ? Totally love the set design and all the actors and actresses.. just very confused.

It is the same emperor and the same time frame, but the main characters are different, but both are plots that have changed according to history and are not completely in line with history

@@XiaoQiDrama Thank you. I will just need to put Yanxi Palace out of my mind. And not try to compare the two. Lol

I was in the same boat as you. But also realized it’s initially set several years BEFORE Yanxi Palace. Just before the Emperor inherits the throne. They’ve also changed the main focus character. It’s interesting that there’s still some of the same archetype characters and that some are the same as the other drama series: scheming Gao Clan wife, lowly maid who rises into and high in the harem, first Empress’ sons dying but both times changed from historical how they died, and more. I keep meaning to look up which series was made first. But so caught up in binging I haven’t taken the time to look yet. LOL
The 4th son was the one shooting the arrows. I don't think the intent was to actually kill the emperor, but to set the 4th son up as his rescuer. Jia didn't count on the 5th son being there to share the glory of rescuing the emperor.
