Story of Yanxi Palace Episode 2

Yi, the concubine who fell victim to cruelty

I felt so sorry for Wei Ying Luo and her sister. Wei Ying Luo gave the girls the answers they deserved with her intelligence, and once again I was amazed by her intelligence 😻 I thought that noble consort Gao would make plans for Lady Yu. If only concubine Yi hadn't committed suicide... I was happy that Wei Ying Luo defended the truth until the end. Oh, Emperor Qian Long noticed Wei Ying Luo. The episode ended on the spot 😭😭😭😭

The first episode was quite refreshing jump…

The first episode was quite refreshing jump to Qing harem drama. But with the developments in episode 2...My very first Chinese drama was Empresses in the Palace and since then, I have failed to discover a drama of this theme to show anything new. Even new ones copying it aren't as bold. From the rumours, I have expected to be surprised by this drama in a good way. But after a promising first episode, I see nothing but reused tropes in the 2nd one.
