Jiusi forgot to mention that in his demands to the Emperor. He should have said, "Promote Zhou Ye to Minister, and have him marry the General's daughter."
Thanks for the hint about Zhou Ye. I was thinking that he is the only one who deserves to become the next emperor. A well deserved promotion! They will have to kill off Crown Prince Fan before Old Emperor dies. It looks like TB.
I don’t enjoy these last 4 eps. I despise palace politics, especially when it entails cruel and petty princesses…
That Princess needs to have her fingers crushed. I find her the most offensive character. She and Grand Tutor make a great couple, with Old Empress as the evil MIL. I hate the court palace arcs in these dramas. It starts to drag, and the backstabbing, corruption and betrayal are predictable. They need to get it over with, and move on.

Shen Ming's character is so different from that same actor's role in Blood of Youth - he's a very good actor!…
The Shen Ming role is much broader. I am proud of his promotion from Bandit to Court Official. The upgrade in wardrobe, title and salary make a big difference.
The actor's role in Blood of Youth was just a shadow, whose skills were undervalued. He didn't have much dialog or scenes either.
OOF. Things be getting real brutal folks. The gloves are off.I'm guessing there's a time skip in the next few…
After episode 32 ended, I wanted to watch the next episode immediately. The plot picked up in the last two episodes. Emperor said that CP Fan should travel to Youzhou alone. Does that mean CP Fan will run into assassins, and die on the way? Woo-Hoo!
What happened to the crown prince, he used to admire GJS and now he hates him? Because of jealousy that his father…
I think it started in Youzhou when General Fan (...not yet the emperor) promoted Jiusi to Magistrate. I guess he always thought he was better than Jiusi because Jiusi was a merchant's son. I missed the part how they knew each other.
Grumpy mom from Go Go Squid and Flight to You plays the grumpy dowager empress. She looks really strange in period…
Empress Dowager looks 70. I thought she was the grandmother, at first glance. Why doesn't the new Emperor marry Yunshang off to another kingdom, to relocate her? He is the one in charge. Empress Dowager should have gone to the nunnery when the former emperor died.
ANNOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why, you ask. Because he gave in to everyone marrying her even AFTER the mother…
He was really naive, and just a talker. I can't believe he would reneg on his promises to Yin Yin, or even the mother. He was even confused why Yin Feng was pissed and wanted to kill him.
BTW, doesn't the mother look ten years' older than Ruo Chen or Yin Yin?
I discovered today that Youn Yuh Jung and Lee Seo Jin were mother and son in Wonderful Days (2014). I watched that drama back in 2014. The bond between Youn and Lee is undeniable and perpetual. He even escorted her to the 2022 Academy Awards show.
