I agree. It was a very easy watch drama. I enjoyed it. :)

Thank you.

I was disappointed with 2nd half of WRTW but that's a different thread. ;)

Thank you I've been trying to read all the comments since they're all quite interesting and insightful but the thread moves so fast I didn't know if I might have missed some information.

I love spoilers. I normally wait until the drama ends then I watch the last 2 episodes first before I decide if I want to watch the whole thing or not. lol

WRTW and this drama are the only 2 I watched live and visit discussion boards. I'm still not use to it. :)

I still can't grasp why she got so many attacks from having that conversation with the crown prince. To her it wasn't a palace politic. A crown prince approached her and asking her about an empress whom he worried about. She reminded him that the empress and emperor are also his mother and father that he can vivit himself to find out. What he chose to do with that conversation was not up to her. What the emperor chose to do after playing chess with his son was also not in her control.

Yes, this. Thank you.

Thank you. Does that mean there are different groups (RBY/3rd prince, uncle Yue/3rd princess) working on their own different agendas for the same result (remove the crown prince)?

Is the 3rd prince in cahoot with his uncle Yue? They both wants to replaced the crown prince and by introducing the fake coins by way of using the 3rd princess greed they can implicate and hope to bring down the empress' side of the family.

Thank you for this.

2 steps forward 5 years back. :(

Thank you.

Right? She answered the crown prince's question and reminded him that they are his mother and father, not just emperor and empress. I don’t see how she can be blamed for other people evil thoughts and shenanigans from that conversation.

Thank you. It's hard trying to guess the story from these little snippets.
They are tricky. I always guessed wrong. lol

I'm watching on WeTV/Tencent.

Previews. :)

To me...it looks like NN took her revenge on the princess and that is when LBY got paddled and the emperor told NN it was because of her.

The Longest Promise.

I love NN. She was rolling up her sleeves ready for a fight defending the empress. She may not have the so called formal education of that time but she is still smarter than most. Everything she said is true.

I loved that the empress appreciate and encouraged NN's natural love and talent to design, create, and build. Those scenes with them bonding and laughing are so precious. She is soaking in all the positive reinforcement that she didn't received before. :)

I wonder how many kisses they've been sneaking since the 1st one from the carriage. lol

Is it my imagination or does NN's 2nd brother's lips are swollen with a trace of lipstick on the top of his upper lips?

Their misunderstanding of each other in their conversation. lol
