A Splendid Match Episode 28

A wedding and a funeral

Ye Xian again does the exact wrong thing with good intentions. He wants a chance to tell JinZhao his feelings and he hears hers. She beautifully and poignantly explained why they could never be. They are too similar even tho each would die for the other. They have a forged friendship that matters highly to her, but love as a partner was not part of it. Her mirror comparison of them was well said. They really are mirror images in many respects and she pointed them all out. She put it in clear considerate and truthful words so that he could understand it with no misunderstanding and realize tho not the relationship he wanted, his friendship was highly placed in her heart. Chen did the right thing sending him out on his portrait with one last warning to leave JinZhao alone. Going against the groom to be, Ye Xian is lucky he lived. The Marquis is a stately figure with his halberd. He looks every bit the commanding general in this pose. His wife realized something was off and found this was the last memory he had before dying. Gma Ji is having a chat with JinZhao about the Chen family members. She is giving her last advice to the young bride to be. The mirror scene where she sees her mother is a sweet detail, but I found the scene with gma the most impacting for me. Chen arrives in high style to claim his bride and as they are heading to his home a funeral procession is coming from the opposite direction. Ye Xian and Chen study each other a moment and as Chen prepares to make way Ye Xian chooses to make way instead. It was one gift he could give to JinZhao. Everyone is surprised as the funeral party steps aside and Chen bows in respect as they pass the Marquis’ coffin. Ye Xian got a glimpse of the bride, but JinZhao and her guard did not look. She wanted to make way out of respect for the dead, but YeXian spoke up first. The glee of Fu’s voice at the death of a war hero just😡🤬 They don’t want Ye Xian to get the title, and while I truly like him, he is too lost to his temper and emotions to handle power well. But I am fearful about who Fu wants and if he can persuade the young emperor to agree. XuanQing is slamming them back being all put out. He never did a thing for JinZhao except bask in her affection. He wasn’t even bold enough to return it.😝🙄 His nose is out of joint and he’s following the maid to see JinZhao when the episode ends. The maid has just learned the Marquis passed away and she’s running back to tell JinZhao. She is holding the whistle from Chen and may need to use it soon. YanWen is seeing Fu and Chen chatting and he also seems full of evil intent. JinZhao was awarded second madame title by the young emperor directly. There are already two ladies plotting for her when she’s in the Chen home. Lian is also plotting for Lan when JinZhao is not there to protect her. Even with two episodes today I find I want two more.
