Is that what the play meant? I wasn't sure if the deeper meaning the play presented.
The play in general also meant that emperor’s opinion of you can change at any moment. That’s especially true for people who are outstanding and whom other may see as a threat and plot against them.

In Episode 38 Lanxiang immediately refused to buy a house in the capital because she heard from Xiulai that two eunuchs - Wang Yi and Gao were also buying property and adopting sons so she staged her play to warn Jinqi about fickle Emperors who were too beholden to eunuchs. The details in this show are so amazing!

is jinqi still a marquis after he resigns his post? How does it work.
Should be. Nobility title is separate from the official position.

remember the lady selling produce? just before the slap, her baby was in the basket. lanxiang was buying from her and telling her it's not easy to sell and take care of the baby. the latest epi shows the baby has grown up, helping the mother sell by yelling "come look at the lotus root". jinqi bought some. the boy, i guess is around 4-5 years old; he's still holding the rattle-drum. by now, lanxiang is about 5/6-month pregnant, guessing from the size of the tummy. so i would deduce, there's a lapse of at least 3-4 years from the slap to the consummation.

How engaging is it from start?
just the first epi would draw you in. but it's slow with tons of details. everything happens in the background.

according to the actual history, by the time jinqi left the palace, the emperor was a different one (zhu zhanji presumably). the hint was from the little eunuchs when they were catching the escaped cricket. the elder prince the eunuch referred to was the one who later became the emperor but was captured by the enemy. his younger brother became the new emperor. when the captured emperor came back, the brother refused to return the throne. the whole thing was a mess. that was another story.
