I'm slightly worried about this.

Do they mean additional episodes as in, the episodes already planned are simply airing earlier?

Or do they mean additional episodes as in, a lot of material that wasn't included in the initial edit has been added in so as to have more episodes to air because of the demand for the series?

1st one, no problem. 2nd one - hmmm - I've liked the series so far because it isn't unnecessarily padded out (at least imho). I don't know that I like the idea we'll be dealing with excessive padding out.

Of course, if it means we'll get more time with The Ponytail ... nevermind. Take it as if I never said anything. ^^

Make fun of!? 🤯

Who dares!!! 🤬

Just dwelling in the likelihood that the drama will likely hang around the court for a while, and the likelihood that Lanxi's storyline will likely be about his progression as a prince, not Hei Fengxi, so it's unlikely our dear ponytail will be seen much.

/cry

I needed to grieve. I thought we might grieve together. ^^

I hate that I can only heart a comment just the once.

🤞😁🤞

People have a lot of heat released at the top of their head. If he's feeling a bit warmer than he's used to, he should loosen up his hairstyle a little. Maybe wear that ponytail ...

I know right! But imagine how much better it'd be if he was wearing the ponytail...

Yay! If there is more ponytail scenes later on, we'll get to them quicker!!

She probably stole Lanxi's ponytail and is too ashamed to show her face.

Well, I'm assuming Lanxi won't be wearing a ponytail in those scenes. Let's hope those scenes pass quickly so we can get back to the ponytail sooner.

Bit of a let down. No ponytail in sight.

Dear Lanxi's feathered ponytail,

Fare thee well beautiful friend. May you continue to be windblown and lustrous, and may we see you again soon.

🤗🙌🙏😟😞😭😭😭

I wonder if Lanxi is wondering how BFX had experienced/had access to those noble portraits...

A way of not having to pay for too many extras?

If the servants are faceless, then all you'd need is 1 female body and 1 male body, and you could just switch them around between the servant duties. ^^

Or perhaps they really are building up a mystery for a later reveal...

If ever there was an excuse for a cdrama to excessively use flashbacks, the BFX backstory is it. ^^

When she whinged about wanting Lanxi dead because she was kept from the emperor for 5 years by Lanxi's mother, I thought this was a little discordant since Lanxi's mum has been portrayed as someone tolerant who welcomed both concubine and child into the fold. So, given that the emperor didn't dispute her whinging, I wondered whether it may have actually been the emperor who kept the concubine away for 5 years, not the empress. After all, he needed to consolidate his power and ensure a clear line of succession. He's obviously someone who cares about appearances a great deal more than the reality.

I just don't want to see Lanxi capitulate to her manipulative fake PDA, a la when they met her on her return from the temple. It might piss his father off if he doesn't go along with it, but I think if Lanxi's strength of character would be made clear to the rest of the ministers if he defines a clear line between himself and the stepmum.

Don't get distracted from your job! Just focus on the task at hand and keep breathing. It'll be waiting for you when you home. ^^ 🥂

Basically a martial arts way of that pencil depression shading trick ^^

2. Meh. It'll so much sweeter later in the story when they become more dedicated to each other ^^. Otherwise they'd have already committed themselves to each other before even half of the story is told, and then where is the romantic tension?

4. She sure is one self-centred B.

6. Was so sure he was about to do the ultimate in letting BFX go and commit himself to Qixu. Such a breath of fresh air that he didn't.
