The Prisoner of Beauty Episode 16

Truths and trips

The empress escaped Yujun without being brought to justice but going home proved more challenging. Yan found out what happened to his mother and chose her family over father’s. It was a harsh line gma gave him. But she candidly put all her cards on the table and explained her position. As a man it had to be difficult to choose the family you love but have no power or position—or the family you know caused pain but will make you heir with highest honors, I am glad love won out. Now that he knows his mother’s story that might be what creates the biggest character change in him. It will put his lifestyle on a different judging balance. For Wei Shao to leave him in charge had to be a good feeling. The empress hears that her husband has passed and that his last wish was for her to be confined in palace. She has guessed who really made this choice, but her seed venture to trap Wei Yan and Shao cost her the opportunity to be on the home front to put her empress plan in motion. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer gal.😝 These idiots don’t even know what she looks like. They think she will be stupid enough to keep forehead decoration and just head to the palace to be imprisoned. They don’t even recognize her carriage and that gee…she might be in there with her lackey.I don’t feel the least bit bad for her but she can hide in plain sight without the face paint. She didn’t completely buy the empress plan or she would have had it tattooed and not just painted. For all the adulation she let herself receive because of it, she had no issues wiping it off and going what mark?😝She and Yan may have a battle in future. I am glad she can’t bring Wei family to her side. She has successfully burned that bridge. The ruined seed has been replaced and WeiShao finds himself heading to Rongjun to help oversee canal engineer. He does not completely trust because he is engineer from Qiao family. Qiao Man has finagled a trip for herself with him. She is planning to visit cousin while there. This time I don’t think visiting her family the only objective. She admires her husband and wants to know him better. Away from his mom and gma will let them both learn more about each other on their own. Her dazzled gaze watching him read. I laughed out loud when he feels her forehead wanting to know what’s wrong with her?😂She even tells him she finds him fascinating and he really doesn’t hear her. He is in mansplain mode about the canals and their history.😂 His general has an idea for a detour that promises better food and atmosphere. Let’s see what unfolds for both couples.
