Husband’s ruthlessness made her unable to continue to be his queen, she cut her hair&divorce him! 

This is brilliant 😁

true

True. She already fed up with everything.. no hesitation no regrets..👏👏👏👏

True that! A woman can endure so much, but once she had enough, there's no turning back.

Amen. When it's enough it's enough. Even at the end she dies standing high n tall. Wonderful queen.

Very true.

😂😂😂

That's impressive you found an emoji of a girl and scissors. Lol

she cut herself out his life

loooool!!!

@@fazila8583 🤣🤣🤣

Worse than hatred...indifference. He no longer matters enough to her to be hated. In a way, he is dead to her.

More than a divorce. It was an annulment. She did not want to be recognized as the Empress or ever having been an Empress.

Also, she did not bow this time. Nice scene!!!

Quin Belbon: No; hatred and love are both passions. She’s been passionate all her life, while maintaining her quiet dignity under her own husband’s distrust and accusations, and maintaining the royal household under contention and mortal fear that he has been sowing. He had in her a companion who was ever whit his equal, and who would have seen him through all of his life, and worked tirelessly at his side. But where he once paid her in love, his remuneration for her is now anger and entitlement, while expecting her to maintain their relationship alone, or worse, while he actively undermines it. She’s exhausted, and he has descended into debauchery; and asserts that debauchery is his right, and therefore her obligation to accept, while insisting that everybody else comport themselves at the highest level. He is beyond reasoning, and has been beyond capacity for love for a long time. She is cried out, and her reason falls on deaf ears. What choice did she have? They are at a crossroads: she tries one last time, although she has already mourned the loss. This is the very last attempt she has left in her. His once- sharp intellect is too degraded to comprehend his position, and his heart far too hard. She has grown, while he has degenerated. They aren’t even peers any longer. This is what the hypocrisy of midlife crisis looks like in a man who believes himself to be beyond anybody else’s capacity for re-dress, and thinks that the people who lovingly and willingly give the most for him, owe him. He’s put himself on a second crucial cross road in life, as a direct result of his handling of the first. The question is, whether he will choose to acknowledge and address it, or whether it will address him. It might will be one of the reasons for which in some societies, a man was expected to put aside a sum of money, a “bride price”, that was intended to show his ability and intention to be there to support his family, or to provide security in the event that he would cease to be there to provide for his wife and children. It hasn’t changed since then; just ask anyone whose spouse has left him/her holding the bag. I can hardly wait to find the next episode!

@@daphneraven6745 You can watch the whole series on Netflix or on Rakuten Viki

Ashley good on her 👍🏼😊

I think it was less to see his reaction than to show she had no regrets. Losing eye contact would signal she was ashamed...this was sort of "this is how little you mean to me" gesture.

😂😂

In chinese culture, longstanding direct eye contact is generally seen as a sign of defiance. So in this scene, Ruyi's direct eye contact was in direct defiance and how she was not his subordinate anymore

Honestly this is very realistic. Narcissists will always point the blame towards others. It's always the guilty who refuse to shoulder an ounce of blame.

I feel she didn't give a damn about it. He was dead to her

And he even promoted this fox Ling! So mad at him.. He is the one crazy!

Fr fr!!!

I know right!! Whoever wrote this is a beast!

@@shara8956 you mean the story of the drama? It's based of history

@@mr.cebuano2843 , but did it happened this way? The writers obviously need to come up with a compelling story to explain why the historical Ruyi cut her hair.

Mary Kathleen Sapp yah and she was looking at him full of pity

One of my favorite scenes

@@gabbielee1498 Same, Ruyi is DONE. This is how a STRONG woman walks away.

A woman can take a lot, like really a lot, but when she's had enough you're done boy, no power on earth will bring her back.

Men writing women in history ☹️. In a similar fashion, many historians speculate the motive for this incident as jealousy. Though real empress was queen for fifteen years and was in her forties then, spending her life in the harem for nearly thirty years.Jealousy would’ve washed away by then but that’s what they believed,since women’s perspective was always dismissed to be unimportant, uninteresting or irrational, as always.

For hundreds of years in Western Europe, men used the 'medical' diagnosis of 'female hysteria' to institutionalise their wives and other 'troublesome' female relatives. This scene reminds me of that.

@@one4sorrowl

@@one4sorrow that was just in the victorian's...

@@one4sorrow remind me of the european king who killed his wives for not giving him son , now it proven by science that men are one who determine baby sex , all those women who died for men ego and ignorance . 😔

eeeee

Seiji: I think it was worse than that, and I don’t think it was because he hit her. This is not the first time that he hit her. He knocked her to the floor like that before, and his mother remonstrated against him, probably because it was she that said the wheels in motion that resulted in the wrong person getting hit.

I think that and Ruyi’s Royal Love tell opposite stories. The protagonists of each don’t like each other, and portray the other as evil

Thing is he threatened her first of stripping her title as Wife and Empress. The act of her cutting her hair was her way of 'I dont care. I'll start first . BYE Felicia 👋 '

​@@drowning_dramas That was empress Fuca, after her death became new empress Hoifa Nara and she cut her hair

@NotMyCat I think I figured that out later or something

And then there's the bratty leader of the girls thinking the emperor would take her side when the empress asks them to leave, Like who does she think she is. Tch

I agree, but they should have straightened up before she even said who she was. It would have been rather obvious she was much higher than them. This, those girls being inferior

More like dung to a diamond.

she sure did!

Na Tab: she walked in on him in a brothel pleasure palace, essentially. It would not have been hard to have more dignity than that, although he clearly didn’t see it that way. No dignity at all would have been more dignified than debaucherousnes; Nonetheless, you’re right about her dignity being pervasive and exemplary.

Thanks for your watching❤the name of this drama is "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace"

The queen is played by one of the most recognized and successful chinese actress Zhou Xun.

@@dramaforever9143 I was about to ask for the name of this drama am so entertained it’s really good

@@dramaforever9143 is the queen the main character?

@@amela.9076 yes

The look on the daughter though. She truly was shocked and realised that RuYi didn't even want to be Empress.

Who was the girl with consert ling?

shaikha alsaedi it’s the daughter of the emperor and the first empress, she also hated Ruyi :(

shaikha alsaedi The other girl is Princess Jingse, daughter of the Emperor and the first Empress.

@@jadedjpg thank you

@@Backtoalonica thanks a lot

She's not tired her heart is dead her beloved man has changed so she has nothing to lose or to hang on let it go is the best choice

Her broken heart finally chilled to the end and cutting her hair is the last attention she paid to the emperor.

Acchan Aida facts Ruyi never wanted to be an empress to begin with, she only wanted love.

She should cut her hair since he let her go to the cold palace for 3 years

Whats d drama name

A tradition that can date back to Xiongnu (Huns). When relative dies, Huns cut their hair and face to express sorrowness. In Qing dynasty, when Qing generals faced the unavoid fate, they would cut braids and had it sent to the emperor, to indiate death and loyalty. This is common among Manchurian, Mongolians and Tibetans.

You can see the change in her eyes as soon as he said it. Amazing acting. And the Emperor secretly questioned naming the Consort. So many layers to this scene. A truly broken union presented so..well.

YESS

Omg i just seen this one episode... idk how I even got here ... this story is intense!!!!! Someone killed her kids!?!?

Did she stand up from the kowtow position without using the support of her hands?

@@samhart4205 and he was saying it while manspreading BIG TIME.😆

I like your interpretation though…..

I’d say you are indeed correct… this is the way I interpreted this same scene, with that precise scenario

The princess finally realize what they meant when they said "becareful of what you wish for".

Princess blamed all her life problems on the wrong person. She finally realized Ruyi was just as much a victim in her father's cruel power games as herself and her mom (Empress Fuca)

Do you live in my town

Well I think he's totally handsome, but a dick just the same.

Hahahahaha

Same here, the emperor is not fit for his job!

Did she really? For all we know, Princess Jingse could've addressed Ruyi that way just to appear respectful in front of her asshole of a father she tried so hard to please ever since she came back into the palace. This is the same girl that despised Ruyi bc the first empress engineered her to think so and turn a blind eye to what Yanwan and her father has become

@@aureliajesical.1569 I do agree with you to some extent. BUT! I think she wasn't expecting Ruyi to do what she did. In her mind (mostly poisoned by her mother) she always saw Ruyi as someone who wanted nothing more than wanting to be an empress. Cutting hair like that meant she didn't care for it at all, breaking her expectation. Also, you can see for a fraction of second how uncomfortable she was in regards to Wei Yanwan's reaction when promoted. This and a later event will turn her a bit.

Randomly Di well Jingse knows Ruyi was born Noble and from noble Clan Blue Banner.. and don’t really need the money wealth side of power as Empress.. and she like everyone knows Wei was a maid, came from Yellow Banner servant class, and a Han.

@@kateli1880 but even women from noble family naturally will fight and secure their positions because they know even with their backgrounds, they can be promoted or demoted as far as good/bad their playing or framing... Even ruyi once ever demoted to be a commoner... And after her aunt being confined, her clan was crippled... And nope, you said their ranks doesn't matter with their clan? Your clan can affect your first status as emperor's wife, but your clan can be affected by your up/down rank... Ruyi's clan maybe doesn't really matter with her become empress since it's crippled before she married hongli... But if not, her clan will also push her to fight for title... That's like Fuca clan that ever push langhua in every her step even to 'fight' with niohuru clan (empress dowager clan)... Empress title doesn't affect ruyi because of ruyi's character herself... That's nothing to do with noble or not.. Opposite example was concubine yu (not consort yu or hailan), she was from very noble mongolian family, her father was a Khan, and she was still craving to become empress 🙄

Yess, too late she realized that ruyi was good and that she made a big mistake by plotting with Wei Yanwan

The ending is even more powerful. She set things right in the palace and made him regret, without doing anything evil and always behaving like a lady.

The princess supported Consort Ling only to take revenge on Ruyi and wanted her downfall. Also, no matter who took the throne as queen would be of no consequence to her. She is a legal princess who has no claim to the throne plus she already 'married out'. People won't do anything to her. It was perhaps only later that she realized the woman she helped was far more ambitious and vindictive than she had previously thought.

ebonyloveivory ok

She actually looked worried about how this would affect her “dear father”. Dumb girl glad she finds out later how terribly wrong she was about Ruyi.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He know that 1st empress a bad wowan..Ru yi is right cut hair..blind king what for u stay..do what do you want to do...

If she were alive her kill streak would far surpassed consort Ling. Ling probably wouldn't have lived long with first empress around.

The first Empress never talk back to the Emperor until she was on her death bed.

Thanks for your watching❤

這裡兩人都演得好喔，活生生的知道自己無法理直氣壯卻還是要大聲的皇上

also. he chucked her into the cold palace before. it isnt like she doesnt know how to live well on low funds.

But this is true in China history, the emperor had a harem of beauties as young as 16 years old waiting to serve him. Some he never even visited before.

👍

This drama made him loom too kind. He had 1500 concubines and played with their lives almost as much as he played with their bodies

I hope you heal and move on 💖

Lol

Preach truth💞

就算是正史裡的乾隆也是個可恨的渣滓

那不是他第一次掌摑如懿，那一巴掌也不是一時失控，之前他一再傷害如懿的感情，尤其是借一連串對凌雲澈的霸凌來羞辱如懿，裂痕早已深埋，只是累積至此時終於按耐不住，石落山崩曝露出來罷了。

@@spikedpumpkin 其實在我看來，他本來是想逃開這個問題的。他只敢借題發揮。 他怕自己問出自己想像的答案、可是又覺得說的有鼻子有眼睛的。他逃不過自己的想像。 他是渣。但他不想說破口。再多的想像，再多的刺探，在他的認知之中，只要不說破、就是留有情面。 是傷了如懿，所以他不想承認。這個妻子，是他自己討來的。 一個男人在內心底是那麼的自私、且自卑。他的自卑來自如懿的目光。他可以隱藏、卻也不想隱藏。他只是不要她撕破。他想當她最珍藏的男人、卻又自私的想要著帝王的榮光。 所以，他滿口她不懂帝后之道。卻不敢提夫妻之道。他只敢說出：她不識君臣。卻不敢提及自己有多怕她真的承認心底沒有自己。 越來越渣，除了享樂、也有著莫名需要妻子的重視、君臣的尊重、還有更多的是：想像中對如懿的不滿、幻想。從其他人身上取得重振的夫綱。 為什麼容嬪說他，他不敢回嘴。因為他知道她說的是對的。他想要如懿懂、她是他最好的朋友。但又不想她知道自己的自卑。就算他明知道，她是知道的。 我覺得… 這對夫妻一個自卑到自大、一個心傷盡而自剛。走到最後兩人都傷痕累累…

皇帝只想要能讓他為所欲為，悶不坑聲的老婆吧，說真的一國之君開包箱玩女人到了現代依然是很扯的事。真是真實的劇情

你是她未必还能这么说。站着说话不腰疼。
