thanks much...i think it helps. i doubt he will do something face up front to her. remember when all the princesses almost injured her in the shoes kicking incident, he walked up to them and calmly pointed out their most hated things aka their husbands hahaha....by sarcastically congratulating them.

We know Cheng Shao Sang is her official name and niao niao is her pet name. what about lby.
which is his actual name, and which is his pet name ? he goes by ling bu yi, ling zi zheng and shi yi lang. shiyi lang is prob is palace used since young before he becomes general as emperor 11th 'son'. what about the other 2.

it is so cute when they are sweet with each other she call him zisheng and he called her niaoniao. and when she get annoyed with him, she call him by his full name ling bu yi and when she get sarcastic and cold it is General Ling hahaha....Lby must learn to judge his fiancee mood by the way she call him. hahahaaha...

The white attire looks so elegant on them. Perfect in the garden scene.

What u mentioned here was most ppl do say when she got pushed into water by 5th princess.

Anyone saw how his hands were on her back all the time. So sweet.

Very good point. He should start the female version of black guards for her. It is actually a very serious point. Knowing his tendency to step on ppl tails politically n in court, soon political enemies will be after her as well... Not those evil girls.

Did the hitting of niao niao by Princess no 3 happen in novel n how did lby do about it? Anyone want to give spoiler here.

I kinda feel when it comes to princesses bullying, he can't do much because he does love the emperor n empress for raising him. Even consort yue treats him good. N they r their children. He need to consider their feelings if he goes harsh.

Those girls are not just bratty n spoli. They feel so entitled they can even kill someone withiut blinking their eyes. That is evil.

I mean his words sound mean, sarcastic n even harsh but yes they r very strategic n calculated. Totally agree.

I think he hasn't taken any sides yet. He doesn't want to go crown Prince Palace n he doesn't let 3rd Prince in as well.. So ya...

Wow I hv exactly the same opinion as u regarding the 3rd Prince.. Esp at that proposal. I realised that when everyone was speechless about css mum words n how embarass css was, emperor was put in a position where he has to decide to back off or not.

It was the 3rd Prince words that seal the deal bc through his words 1. He take the brunt of css mom words. He says lady cheng make it sound like her daughter is so bad to get out of having lby as son in law. Lby must be scary. That way, it is not about how uncouth css is more mum prob or lby prob.
2. His words manage to maneuver his emperor father to start using his emperor will n it becomes royal family vs cheng family. This really seals the deal for lby. Now it becomes a royal
matter. So his words makes the emperor cock up n make it insisting. Knowing his dad kind nature, he may hv backed down n not forced the cheng. Then lby will not be getting his gal.

N from various incidents like visiting lby n yet got rejected at the door but he is OK w that n mocking everyone sucking up to lby now, I honestly think that he is a very capable, smart guy with a lousy mouth. But he likes lby n is on his side. But his character is we need to get the job done. Remember he was the one that suggest attack on fengyi County. Same opinion as lby. Both these guys are matter of fact, logical n does not let emotion get in the way of running a country. Empress n crown Prince too weak imo.

I m confused too. But my thoughts is He loves her daring n boldness but doesn't want her get involved in mess of more powerful ppl such as the royals. But her character is the type she can't stand bullying. Will not tolerate bullying. So she will be getting into probs all the time. My thoughts is he want her to trust him n let him protect her. . N she is stubborn. So she will be getting into probs all the time yet she keeps wanting to show she
can handle it wo him. Like she is trying to prove herself.

In a way to lby it means she
hasn't let herself fully trust him ie she is still leaving the backdoor open. Is like one day u leave, I will not be so hurt. And hence, those
words about taking
his heart back. I was like yeah right. Sounds more like couple bickering. As if he can. U see how he din go to pick her n yet when crown Prince says she is w his wife in Eastern Palace, He immediately tag
along. N the garden bit she says I thought u r taking ur heart back, he replied I was just passing by n u so happen to be there...they r just having those couple fight. In the end our lby will always lost. Hehe....

3rd crush on lby. So it's out of jealousy.

5th don't but lby not wanting to marry all these while gave her reason or excuse to get out if marrying. I think in the first she is pissed he gets to choose while she need to marry out of her parents choice to a useless guy for court alliance. Also she is close w wangling. They jusr gang up on css

Ya I notice he start having appetite once consort yue got tge witch under control. Start picking up on food. Haha

Even better if she can give css 1 to 2 more slaps till can actually see the mark on css face plus the huge bruise on css hand. Then she will be truly dead meat!!!!

I think 3rd Prince should be a good guy. N he is on lby side. 5th just a talkative kid who talk nonsebse. Actually love his interaction w css during Luncheon banquet. Hahaha... The evil one is gal no 3 n 5.

Emperor eldest sister.

Eldest princess (zhang Kung zhu as consort yue call her) is the title for emperor sister. Later she also uses your majesty' eldest sister.

Emperor daughter if eldest is normally call ta kung zhu (big princess).

His words are very confusing. He likes css for being true n unpretentious n she never bends to bully n power. Yet when she got hurt standing to protect the empress, he told her not too because all these ppl are powetful enough to protect themselves. But that's css, she just can't stop herself. That's why I m confused.

But my deduction is he wants her to rely on him n trust him to let her protect her which she still refuses to. He doesn't want her to take matter into her own hands esp not Palace matters. Guess this part of the script shows he is a normal bf who bicker w gf. N in the end he will still give him. I was like yaya... Withdraw ur heart. Hello just 2 episodes go u say fine give u your freedom n then one episode later.... u say I will not give u up. Whatever u say I will not let it get to me cause u r my one n only. Our boy is just upset she is being stubborn.

Eldest Princess mentioned here emperor own sister. His eldest sister. B4 he won the throne, he is so poor. His sister was pregnant n weak. Huo is his BFF. He help their family more than that witchy aunt of the emperor.

Consort yue is simply grateful to Huo for his kindness to her hubby in their down time. N in the end die for her hubby w/o enjoying all the status n wealth that is entitled to him for being there during their hardest time. Lby say we know for now is Huo sister son. After Gu city massacre the whole huo left the final bloodline in lby. So emperor gave all he wanted to gibve to his BFF to lby. So both of his wives also felt grateful to Huo. Wo him they wouldn't even have a hubby anymore.

There should be a same count for Princes.n princesses. I see 3rd princess n 3rd Prince is same count. 5th is also.

So we r missing eldest Princess, 2nd Prince, 4th princess n princes.

During the banquet those that are asked to leave is supposedly princesses n their hubbies. Those that stayed back are Princes n their wives. In a way daughter are married out. So family matters are for boys to know. Guess there din put that many actors n actresses in.

This emperor harem is so simple. Only empress n consort yue.

Empress kids : crown Prince, 5th Prince n Foster our lby.

Consort yue: 2nd princess, 3rd princess n 3rd Prince.

5th Prince is a result of emperor drunken episode with a lady call Yu.

To make lby no 11. There should be 10 kids.
Like 5 Princes n 5 princesses
