I made my husband’s favorite woman infertile, and he slapped me angrily when he learned about it 

Honestly Rong had the right idea. If the entire palace is playing one against the other and murdering each other’s kids, best way to win in the end is not to play at all. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I feel so bad for the empress. Humiliated like that. All her life she was humiliating and embarrassed. ☹️

At least the mom didn't leave her hanging & showed up to defend her. Most women in this show just scheme around then are like "uhh... iunno?"

Consort Rong saying that she wanted to drink that medicine and she gets to decide whether to have children or not...you go girl! crush that delusional emperor's fantasies

The emperor punished Ruyi for his own incompetencies. He refused to accept the fact that Concubine Rong had the audacity to demand that she didn't want kids. His mother was right, he only has himself to blame for this situation. All because he couldn't accept that someone on this earth dared to refuse to be with him, to have his kids or to give him her heart.

I cried when Lady Rong drank the soup. Her heart belonged to another and she was never going to be happy there and couldn't bear to see a child used as a pawn for the throne. She was one of my favorites on this show along with Ruyi, Rongpei, Ling Yunche.

I feel how Ruyi felt by how her expression and eyes. So sad..kuddos to the actress.. She is really act well in her role 😭😭😭😭

Noble Lady Rong and the empress are my favorites. She because part of the concubine for her tribe that he won't force her to a children without love. The empress is so understanding this whole time, and she may be an empress but someone will always be above her so she can't really do much.

The struggle of being a women, a wife, a mother, an empress and a daughter in law.

I could listen to Rong and Ruyi talk for hours. They both have such beautiful voices. And faces. And personalities.

One drink and you're childfree forever?? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Can we talk about how sad it was when Ruyi cried at this part?! 9:58 I can see that she want to cry but like she tried not to let any people see. She is always so strong.

Ah yes... ancient feminism. Rong is like "I'll bed you for the benefit of my people and honor, but I'll be F@ING DAMMED if you get my WOMB!!!"

Empress is like in between 2 stones rocking her. Emperor's lust makes her suffering. Its not her fault that Lady Rong is infertile its the Lady's request. What a kind hearted empress she is, doing what the emperors want even if it means to hurt her own self just to obey the emperors lustful desire.

He claims to understand the situation, but doesn't understand that making Noble Lady Rong infertile was a gift and not a punishment for her. 🙃

When you are the Empress but still have to live with your scheming mother in law and all your husband's girlfriends.

Why am i watching this and cant stop? Their attire and hair is just beautiful

Rong guiren was right! Having kids should be with someone you love! We can't force children comes, if we can't love them in future (using it as tools)

I can guarantee that the emperor's heart isn't what is aching for poor Noble Lady Rong... That being said, I applaud Noble Lady Rong for taking the ultimate defiance... the emperor may have been low-key holding her and her people hostage, but she denied him the trophy that he wants.

Ruyi endured more of the emperor than the whole palace, no matter what happened in the past to him he treated her like that on his own account also knowing she is nice but you will be punished for trying to mess with her. This is why I don't feel bad for him when she died or divorce him, because once again it was his fault!!

This is what we call the 'When the Camel broke it's back.' From that first slap with anger, Killing of that guard, taken away Prince #12 from her.. Her dislike and freedom from him started to boil an her heart never was mended.

She has such a beautiful rich deep voice

So he made another woman pregnant while being so infatuated with the Han woman? Then he ignores the pregnant woman since it's not her first time to go on labor... Jerk

The empress's voice is so nice to listen to

I love how the titles are in first person lmao

Rong is the only one in there with some good brains, way advanced for her time.. and that emperor doesn't get it!! Just set her free dude, she ain't love you!!

During this whole show I just kept thinking, “it would be so easy to just kill the emperor and have the women rule the country, they’re far smarter and chill compared to him” lmao I know that didn’t happen irl but this emperor makes me sick

Maybe I am too American. I just don't understand how the Emperor can hurt his beautiful, gracious, intelligent and gentle wife. The Empress is amazing!

The emperor treated his wives like his pets.

Lol when the emperor demanded a for a second time who did this to concubine Rong, the physician was so startled all he could come up with is to bow again. Rongpei was tempted to kick the emperor ass when he slapped her mistress

I just stumbled upon this show and damn its good!!!!!

This makes me so sad... But I also can't stop watching... AND BEING SAD OMG

12:05 "children or not. My choice". That's the stuff I'm talking about. Chinese Dynasty had a forward thinking harem. PRO CHOICE people. PRO CHOICE!

Poor ruyi was trying not to cry...:*(

Now you know Ruyi didn’t want to do this but Empress Dowager told her too & Ruyi took the rap as well

Concubine Rong was right. You should only have children with the person you love. My parents slowly started to resent one another a few years after my birth and let me tell you… growing up in a loveless household is awkward, suffocating, and traumatizing. A lot of the mental health issues I have stem from some of the things I witnessed. Not to mention the stupid Emperor NEVER stopped to consider the feelings of his harem or their wishes (the ones that weren’t soaked in greedy ambitions I mean). He also did a horrendous job of protecting them and his royal heirs sooooo. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This has sealed my immense hatred towards the jerk Emperor 😡 The worst husband ever!! Maybe Ruyi can hide her tears well..but I feel like wanting to cry for her myself

There’s this saying: “1st slap Shame on you. 2nd slap shame on me (for continuing this sham marriage.) No 3rd or I’m a fool.” And I may add and he’s a tool.

HOnestly I wish American Drama’s were this interesting and involved and the costumes are incredible!

I'm glad at the end the empress cuts her hair....she was treated so unjustly

在現代的狀況就是，當兒子有錯，老娘不唸不罵自己的兒子卻對媳婦一直唸，說不會教老公……😡😡😡😡

crazy emperor!! how dare you slap Ruyi..

讲真，这段是真的被渣渣龙恶心了，强留别人还一副情深的样子，如懿配了他几十年，就这么一巴掌说打就打

The Husband is quite literally the worst.

嬛嬛果然还是好心计，知道如懿绝对不会忤逆她的意思所以稍稍施压就让如懿妥协，容贵人那么反感皇帝，那这药即便不硬塞她也会心甘情愿地喝下去，100%达到了自己的心愿。事后等如懿被打难堪的时候正好驾到，数落了皇帝一番，立好了“好婆婆救驾”+“旁观者清”的人设。 高，实在是高。

I am blind how i am seeing love in this man for rong when he said she is innocent

I have been following and re-watching episodes of this show for weeks and I'm reassured in my conclusion as to why I don't bother to watch many Chinese dramas to the end. The endings are always incredibly sad or violent so I just never watch the end anyway. I find the Emperor to be infatuated with himself, a narcissist, a philanderer, abusive, cruel, jealous, arrogant, and definitely not husband material by any rational human being regardless of their sexual leanings. His capacity for true love is measured by how often he has sex and the submissiveness of his quarry. A truly despicable trait in a man. It sort of resembles an American show where a bunch of women do their best to get the bachelor to marry them. (I don't bother with that show since it shows how nasty women can be when they are fighting for a prize, LOL) The entire harem is in constant "survive at all cost" mode with anyone ranked higher or they were jealous of, a target for incredibly inventive ways of threat removal. Ruyi should have given up her Empress title when she realized how weak and pathetic the Emperor had become. I do have several positive comments, however. The venue was spectacular and the acting was superb!! Many of the women showed their real acting chops in the death scenes with no makeup and poor lighting in some scenes working against them. The woman playing Ruyi was very talented as well. She never got hysterical and conveyed many emotions facially through her eyes and her mouth movements. She was an oasis of calm in the midst of a typhoon, LOL!! If this is a true story then it's no wonder that East meeting West has real problems even in the modern world trying to understand each other.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!! I GENUINELY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS❤️

Omg been binge watching since yesterday night and idk what episode is next I just click and watch. So good!

So much fuss over these cheating men! How awful to be a first Wife and expected to make everyone he cheats,with happy!

Our poor Empress 😢

Is this the last episode we see of lady rong? What happens to her after?

Curse curse curse this emperor 😠

Ok have to ask what was in that soup

He has so many kids omg-

最近追延禧 再回來看如懿 真的氛圍 、層次差很多欸…如懿傳真的把周迅再頂上天一次阿！

哇哦哦哦喔喔，真的是要氣死，爆氣欸那個太后不想皇帝不爽他，就叫如懿當箭靶，出什麼事都是如懿的錯，太后就好好當和事佬說教真的是高招氣死人

She had to have known this would ruin Ruyi. Didn’t need to involve her in her martyrdom.

I felt really bad for ruyi 😑

I just trying to figure out how many or how long did Rong stay together. She didn't have many appearances. She never became Empress..At the end I guess she was silence.

Why am I watching this? Yet I'm so intrigued😊

after everything that zhen huan/ empress dowager went through, she gotta deal with this, you can see her disappointment

The empress is beautiful. I think it would be hard to share

The Emperor crossed a line when he struck Ruyi. I think she had made up her mind then if this happened again, she will renounce her Empress position...which is exactly what happened.

這段生與不生，在對比 ，卻都受獎 皇后對於皇帝太后的兩難間，衰

Wow! I am so in love with these!💖💖💜💜💜💜💜

Im new to this series and love it. Does anyone know how many series it is or when this started. I need a back story.

He blame ruyi for what she was forced to.do.how ridiculous

Rong and Yuri, are total badasses that stuck it to the man, he sucked

So the ED gave Ruyi a sterilizing potion for Rong to take so she can become infertile

One thing I never understood was Yanwan had all these kids but the Emperor never gave one to Consort Rong to raise she is a perfect candidate she didn't want to use a child, no one bothered her, she had the Han protection, and the child would be spoiled due to Consort Rong being the Emperor's favorite. She rejected the idea of having children with the Emperor she wasn't against raising any of them maybe the Emperor wanted her to have her own space but given she was basically by herself majority of her time there having a child to raise would've been nice to see.

I❤ these clips. What is the name of this series? Does Hulu or Netflix carry it?

Why men are always like dis... They always hurt women in every ways.. They dont even understand the ache of a woman's heart, how it feels to see the other woman in her own husband's embrace..

I love ❤️ this tv series

Poor queen

甄嬛太后可親自出馬，突登難為皇后

Good god what a stupid emperor, poor ruyi :

Where can I watch it ?

香見也沒多敢直言嘛，就應該當渣龍的面嗆他，這藥是她自己想要喝的，因為她不想跟這麼噁心的男人生小孩

The logic of this Emperor. SMH.

The worst husbands ever

Muchas gracias

如懿真的很可憐 衰小

Its your 15th prince, my god. I wish i was king.

This Ruyi nemesis is Wei. The previous Ruyi (then later as Empress Dowager then Emperor Wu Zetian) from Tang (the Zhou) Dynasty also had nemesis Consort Wei out to destroy /kill her. Reincarnation loop.. they repeats the same struggles, but the Nara Clan DNA had more heart & didn’t make her as sharp& ruthless as Wu family DNA. “Lady Wei” definitely became demon and came back this life for revenge.. out for blood.

What episode?

Which episode is this

This show fcked me up. Oof. So good but so painful.

So this is the Forbidden City...not one of the palaces...I think.

Emperor!! You should be loyal to the Empress!! Even you have so many cuncubines how dare you! You are the Main lead in this drama but you always love another women again and again!! WTF!! I just thought you Only love Ruyi but now you lost everything because of this first slap!

the Emperor has gone mad for Noble Lady Rong

For some reason I am stuck reading silly historical romances right now, but those romances are usually written by historians who have researched. It’s sad and amazing how nothing changes. The emperor sets eyes on the new beauty...all he can think of is bed bed bed. But she sees the next chess move and forestalls him. Sure enough, he has countless children, but “I wanted some with the new one more than anything ever ever ever!” I can just see Anne Boleyn’s 🤨 right now. (Irony that this little Anne had iron in her blood 🩸 and she gave it up to her daughter, Elizabeth I.) But the harem child succession struck a nerve with me because in my fanciful reading the fact has been impressed upon me that in royal life and history, anymore than “a heir and a spare” meant dissatisfaction, unhappiness, danger, intrigue and bloodshed, often started by the heir-in-line. So...yes I would have preferred to quaff that bowl down too.

Please...what is the name of this series...? How many episodes; I want to start at the beginning... It is wonderful....!!!

The same old , cliche dramas with the emperor, his empress and the always prettier (not really most times) in the emperor's harem...LOL

This is the rules for the Emperor to have 12 women's

Crazy emperor! 😡

其實為什麼太后不會自己去送湯，讓如懿難堪

BECAUSE RUYI BECOMES EMPRESS MOTHER SO THE RESULT IS THE SAME DIFFERENT OR WORSE

Men make it more difficult then need be.

wtf is the maid talking about this out in the open.... =_= thats like rule no 1 that she broke.
