Coroner's Diary Episode 16

Mid management politics

Cousin Yan is an arrogant prig, but in this case he was right, the eldest daughter needs to learn decorum and how to read the room. Thanks to the teachings from her matriarchs she can’t see past looks and titles. He is trying to test the tie between Wan and Prince. He still believes he has an edge as a Qin over her. He put fear into her about the token and was not pleased she wasn’t playing along. It is a good place for Senior to establish roots and start up a medical practice. Prince Chi is cunning finding a way to combine work with pleasure and making the Prince happy all at same time. His oh by the way I’m heading to Yuzhou tomorrow can you take care of Princess for me? 🤣 The biggest takeaway after wonderful proposal is they are talking. They are not leaving things to chance and discussing future plans along with note taking on who to keep an eye on. This is a huge leap in right direction. I like the roguish new Prince. He is too much the frat boy but think that will change as he watches smitten Prince Chi. I also like his contempt for male Qin. He will be a fun assist in thwarting Qin plotting. The gals are housed in Pang hotel. The shock of manager at all the young women in tow.😂The eldest has already taken the best room and eyeing the owner. She has learned nothing though I have hopes for the second daughter. When they split up I feel sorry for her that she is the third wheel of the group in the background. She might actually be an asset to the Qin family but not allowed to be seen that way. The opera troupe is visiting for the royal bday and the lead singer is a total diva. She has overplayed her hand and while the unknown lady likes her moxie the male manager has had enough and wants her gone permanently. It seems he will get his way as she disguises herself and rearranges the prop that shoots darts. Prince Chi is mocked for his taste in girls and I like how he sets the prince straight about her importance and how that will effect their relationship if he maligns her. Prince Yan Li is disappointed and surprised. It was fun and thoughtful he gave Prince Chi a heads up on table arrangements so seating could be changed if necessary. Wan is getting more skilled with weapons and fortunately didn’t stab Prince. Her jealous interrogation is fun. Men love seeing their girls angry. 😂 He stutters around at first but ends up forthrightly explaining the evening and how soldiers deal with pain in war. It was also clear he didn’t indulge. The princess interrupts the goodnight kiss. 😂Qin has a meeting with head merchant and discussion is made about salt shipments. Two weasels making plans.😝At the banquet the new minister of Supreme Court observes Prince Chi and Wan. Does he recognize her as a Shen? She doesn’t look happy and quite nervous. All three take note of each other as episode ends.
