Ming Zhu and Minister Suo's exchange during the former's trial in Kang Xi's presence is one of the best part in the series.

Good acting.

One surprise character in this series that keeps being dropped from Kangxi's history is the deposed Empress Korchin, the first wife of Emperor Shunzi. In this drama, the young emperor was still addressing her as his mother.

Another odd thing is he had another official mother who was also an Empress from the Korchin mongol who happened to be a niece of the deposed Empress. This character never appeared on this series.

What exactly did the poor child witness at the mansion of the eldest prince? The boy keeps crawling and is terrified of something.

I guess we need to read the novel using the Google Translate.

BS all the time.

The eldest Prince tried to assassinate the 6th prince so GYX saved him by hiding him in the Hua family.

I don't think GYX's father died in the fire. He was probably saved by GYX and hidden somewhere in the mansion.

The emperor simply doesn't have the patience for his all children except GYX.

Stop guessing. It's the eldest prince. He is a lunatic so that's why the 6th prince developed PTSD.

The emperor only values those who are genuine to him. No wonder he loves these two children and cannot stand his own.

I'm not worried at all simply because the person at risk is not I.

Eldest Prince is the culprit.

The emperor's sons except 6th prince are useless. In the novel, GYX supported the 6th prince to be the next emperor.

HPV virus. I guess you are not well informed about diseases.

The emperor only adores Gu Yanxi and has no love for his own children. He can't stand his own children and he hates children!

I find the emperor has no clue of being a father. Or, Gu Yanxi is simply a perfect child and son.

No, it's the Eldest Prince. He hasn't made a disappearance. Plus the poor 6th prince went to his mansion by accident and must have witnessed something sinister which made him terrified of people.

What's the story about the Sitxh Prince and the Eldest Prince? The poor child is terriffied of something that he had witnessed at the Eldest Prince's mansion.

The emperor seems to hate all his sons except Gu Yanxi. He finds his children annoying.

And, they wanted to save the grandfather. I can see the logic because only the elderly gentleman is sensible among the males in the Northern land.

This obsession with kissing scenes is alarming. Actors put themselves at health risk whenever they do kissing scenes.

C19 hasn't taught you a lesson.

I enjoy this drama. Another drama I recently watched and enjoyed is Game of Wisdom.

Saving a state-owned engine manufacturing plant from bankruptcy. The plant was first built during the late Qing period by a Chinese engineer named Ma De Li who went to Germany to study mechanical engineering.

Not all. It made references to the Chu-Han conflict, though, like Xie Yu trying to recruit Han Xin.

State=owned businesses. Semi-private. Just like the UK Royal Mail.
