Chinese Empress

fake news, please delete it

Found raw version uploaded on bilibili but still no subs

Tu said less than 5

Do you know how to find these two episodes sub english-?

it's not this one, this is the sequel with 6 episodes

Q means scenes filmed, shortly.

Q70- May 23rd

Watch Chinese original drama, they will base this remake on it. I am more excited to watch another remake, because i trust the cast here only at 50% now. They are rookies in historical dramas

I laugh

For those criticising the basic fact in episode 1, you need to understand the depth of the matter. It was not simple ink. The ink for tribute and the prestige of the Li family were rights given by the Emperor Jiajing because they made the best ink. Not every kind of ink was used in the Imperial court, but it requires specific characteristics at a very high level. Ruining the tribute is not simply ruining an ink that they can make again, it's like not giving the right importance to the matter.
The supply is not easy even more during the Ming Dinasty.
I am loving this drama detailing all the different aspect of Ming China, not only ministers and court but noble families. Yang Zi is the prettiest and cutest, she is perfect for the role of Li Zhen.

Probably airing in June because Fourth said that it will be face to face with Ticket to Heaven for a while, Win and Tu said it is very very close ( only 5Qs remaining) and Tay said it will be airing around the middle of the year. Let's wait all together for this.

The double standard. They are still using Chinese things in everyday life like Chinese cabbage, Chinese festivals, Chinese zodiac, Chinese hanfu disclosed and ancient Hanbok, and they protest?
Yes, a modern monarchy would be independent, but they should change their own culture first, rather than complaining, while in korea they still think Manchuria is not China.

I knew they would trash in the ending a cringe plot without caring about the logic and the weight of the monarch. Nonsense ending.

you can notice from the trailer

This is related to the novel and you are perfectly right about her and 4th Prince. In the novel, in the scene when he teachers her how to ride a horse, she thinks about the fact that as Zhang Xiao she has always liked 4th Prince from history books, supporting what he did after becoming Emperor. It's now as Ruoxi she is both fascinated and charmed by him and a bit scared, because she is facing the real thing. She falls for him knowing exactly what will happen, but hoping his love for her will mild a bit the things.
About asking the 13rd Prince it is related to the fact that she knows who will become Emperor and she has to be careful not to be his enemy. So to avoid being too suspicious and too easy to read, she inquires about all of them.
About 8th Prince, concubines were common and normal in Imperial China and it's not usual that some thing like that would happen.

the policy is more recent

It is highly inaccurate though, but I agree with you about the awareness of historical events

It is for sure about the BL roles, because RL actors are living the same.

She will fell in love with Nanon first, then her true love will be Win.
You should watch Chinese original Scarlet Heart to understand the plot

it's their choice and it's right, but they can still act in minidramas
