Court Lady Episode 17

Poor crown prince

I feel sorry for the crown prince, he makes questionable decisions and commits "mistakes" (at the time, they were mistakes), but he's young and human; it's just that nobody can be too sympathetic to him because he's going to become the emperor eventually. So he is reprimanded by everyone, trapped with a terrible wife (who is fatally unaware of the gravity of her position and actions... She is also human and young, but that's another conversation), and is losing his only good friend. All of this, overwhelming him at once, I understand why he slapped her.Throughout the drama, I never paid much attention to Lady Situ (although I went from disliking her to truly admiring her), so I didn't expect her story to end that way. She reminded me of the Third Madam, someone who had her flaws, but who, deep down, was a kind-hearted person who did everything for the well-being of her children. I cried a lot, being so close to freedom but so far away.I was worried that this marriage confusion would last much longer, so I'm relieved. Although I'm starting to get anxious about when the wedding between the main characters will finally happen, and hoping it doesn't take 40+ episodes.As for Yan Zi Fang, I'm happy (albeit a bit worried, since one harasser is enough) to have him back. Mainly because he's yet another person trying to take down the Lu family. I hope this doesn't change Rou'er's heart and that he doesn't think she owes him something just because he reformed.
