The First Jasmine Episode 24

A wholesome relationship and a bit of truth

I just love how wholesome A'Li and A'Yao's relationship is. He wanted to feed her and held her hand while they were sitting there with Zuidie. And that's a statement and reassurance from him... It's quite rare to see such a main couple in a historical drama, I think. Usually, there's something that is making them break up or argue a lot. This is a very nice difference. ✨🥰But Zuidie killing that drunkard so coldly just because he pushed her? That girl might have mental problems, I think. 😬As it looks, the Marquis maybe actually cared about Qin Cang on some level, but well... he showed that care in a very wrong way. And now there is no turning back... sorry, man! ☝️🤷‍♀️😒And Feibai returned finally! The expression on his face when he looked at Ye Li... I wonder what he learned up there on the mountain—are they really dead? I suppose so. But maybe he learned something more. 🤨🥺 And Mingxi being jealous of Feibai? Ehh... 🤔Highlight: Xiuyao's aide thinking Feng Zhiyao was into men... 😂🤣

Calm before storm

The Marquis is telling his son to leave til things quiet down. He even starts the same way he did for Qin how he had everything planned for him. His son challenges him with the question if he would be killed if ever in the way. He has every right to challenge his father. Maybe now he will grow up to be less of a wretch. 😝 The Marquis orders him to go home but 50/50 son will comply. When she gets back from the shop Xiu Yao admits he looked at the letter box and peeked inside. She surprises him by bringing the box over and letting him see all but the bottom two letters. They were all music compositions she thought he would enjoy being away from the school. Ye Li and Xiu Yao are very cute being playful. This was exactly what Su Zuidi needed to see. They ‘accidentally’ run into Ms Wen and guest. The timing seems rather planned by the guest.😝 she was sure they would be more like strangers and got confirmation that Ms Wen’s opinion was more accurate. Her slow sad talk to Ms Wen was so fake and annoying.😡 Her bringing up Xiu Yao’s mother and special preparations for dessert were a bit much. I like that Xiu Yao offered his wife first bite. There was no way she would eat it, but the attention was given to the right woman at the table and the other two noted it. 😝Usually calls from work are aggravating, but the Prince was more than happy to be called away to report to the office.😂 Ye Li shrewdly let her unwanted guest know where her family members were located so she would no longer be lonely. Or, if serving the princess she should do that well. She knows the gig is up with the wife and leaves. Her carriage is blocked so she chooses to walk back. She runs into the same drunkard that knocked her down earlier and repays that slight with a dagger in the belly. Ye Li gives Fei Bai some first aid and asks if he’s found master Zhu. He tells her he’s returned to the academy and she seems happy and satisfied at that response. I hope soon we get to see what he saw at Lishan school and his opinion of events. Ye Li has her next plan in the works. She checks on the time and date of a solar eclipse and wants her uncle to get the consort out of the palace. She has it timed so she is available to assist the consort from her carriage. Feng the spy meets with his penpal and he uses that double sided coin with her. Too bad he is completely unaware he has won her over in spite of himself. 🤣 She continues her male disguise and he is unhappy she hasn’t fessed up to being a girl. Xiu Yao is called to check up on him and listens to his lament for a reasonable time. When he is chided about not giving advice, Xiu Yao responds that if he liked her to let her know early as he walked out the door. 🤣 When he gets home he finds Ye Li asleep and carries her to bed and the episode ends. Dragons, rain and edict news coming up. I hope the enemy Ye Li is referring to is not her spouse as this preview implies. 🧐😬
