If the imperial family sees the Cui army as a threat, they can, at most, cut down on their strength. Despite their disobedience or the threat they pose, they are also an army that protected the nation. The ruler can't disband such any without getting criticized by his officials and the common people. What the ruler can do is find an excuse, like these are peaceful times, can't provide for such big army, need to develop the nation, so cut down on the army size. FL expected this much. She didn't expect villains to interfere and foil her plans, of course. And yes, Old Pei and Pei Junior have informed FL and her father of the happenings of the court, but everything had been decided already at this point. There's no point if they can predict the end result, because the end result had already been set in stone when they received the news.

I think they only really break up once. Other times, it's only disagreements. That break up only lasts for 1 episode. Their disagreements also last for 1 or 2 episodes at most.

Your observation that FL didn't expect her Cui army getting disband isn't completely right, but it also isn't completely wrong.

When FL was making waves in the capital by putting up her betrothal to a prince in the mix, the Cui army was very much needed by the imperial family. She was, obviously, doing this to get ML see the bigger picture. What happens after everything is settled, everyone can see, including the FL. What she expected was, obviously, after everything is settled and the imperial family no longer has any use for the Cui army, they would attempt to cut down on the Cui army size. However, by the time this happens, she would have already been married to the ML (in her expectations), and would have some power of her own to keep the cutting down to a minimum. However, things happened that she did not see coming, the situation turned. But she again, at most, expected that the worst outcome of it would be the Cui army getting cut down and reduce in size. She also mentioned this in one of the episodes. And it makes sense. But the villains were at work, and she didn't know what was happening at the imperial court, since the ML blocked the news. Therefore, she obviously didn't see the outcome of Cui army getting disbanded. But she did see the outcome of Cui army getting cut down in size. If she knew the ins and outs of what was happening at the imperial family, and she would if she was not in the capital city getting "locked up" in her mansion, she would also foresee the ultimate outcome that has occurred.

Maybe if you had watched the whole drama you would know how ML got what he wanted?

I was just reading the novel this drama is based on;

Lol! Mei Zhuyu (ML) is actually 4 years younger than Wu Zhen (FL). FL is 26 years old, and unmarried, at the start of the novel. ML is 22 years old and unmarried.

I'm only on Chapter 2; the story is interesting and fun.

Oh yeah, I forgot her.

I didn't know how tall Tian Xiwei was before, but standing beside Xu Kai, without the heels, she did look quite tall. Most FLs don't look that tall standing beside Xu Kai.

lol, that's true. I consider Wu Jiayi and Bai Lu as similar in age FLs to Xu Kai. One is a few months younger, the other is a few months older.

I almost could not recognize her without the bangs, lol! But yeah, she looks a lot more beautiful without the bangs.

Yes, for both the main leads and the side cp.

I'm sure you do. Given your retarded analysis to defend your argument. Take care.

You are grasping at straws here. There is no interpretation issue here, the issue here is that you seem to have missed a lot of what actually transpired and are making up your own assumptions of the situation to defend your perspective, which is sad. Cause I have been there before, and I know the feeling. Please go back and re-watch all Gu family related scenes, you see for it yourself.

You also seem to have missed the conversation between Miss Gu and her maid where her maid would say something to the effect like, "Miss, it seems like master cares for you." But Miss Gu replies with something to the effect of, "It's only because he discovered that I'm intelligent."

You know, if you go back read your replies, you would know why you gave that impression. You yourself admitted that you misunderstood that Miss Gu is the only daughter. You also seem to not know how she ended up in that ancestral home. You seem to not know a lot about their situation yet are so sure about the father-daughter feelings. Makes one wonder.

Sure. It tells when you dismissed my first point as irrelevant and provided a lame argument to defend your position on my second point.

I'll take my leave now. 👋

I made my case in the reply I just posted. I will not further respond to you on this topic, because it seems you fast forwarded a few scenes or maybe you are conveniently ignoring them.

Uff.. I don't have the patience to explain the whole damn plot, I'll just give you two examples, which I already gave you, but you seem to be ignoring them since they don't fit your narrative.

1. Miss Gu was often bullied by her older sisters and then sent to the Gu family's ancestral home to pray. This was basically a banishment. Do you think her father didn't know? He did. The first time Miss Gu and her father meet and talk to each other in the drama, her father says to her in a round about way, he didn't know he had such an intelligent daughter before. Otherwise he wouldn't send her to the ancestral home.

2. After their plot was discovered by Li Ni, Gu father made no move to get his daughter out of the eastern palace. Forget that, he made no move to even inform her about the situation. And so, Miss Gu had no idea of it all when she confronted Li Ni -- she could have been killed on spot. Lol.
What's more, Gu father, to save his own skin, is convicting Li Ni as a rebel. You know what happens to a rebel and his family? Everyone gets publicly executed, which includes his daughter.

No, by pretense, I meant to speak with their guard up. If they aren't against outsiders, they are guarding against each other.
