Consort Jia's character is poorly written. She was described as very sly and cunning in the earlier episodes, then later she suddenly became "foolish" and easily tricked by others. After Ruyi became the empress, Consort Jia transform into arrogant foolish woman who can only rely on her background and give birth to kids.
In real life, Empress Xioxian actually got sick and passed away while traveling with the Emperor. The poem he wrote for her elegy is beautiful and heartbreaking.
@@emnhika ah you have them mixed up, Empress Xiaoxian was the first empress, the main character of this drama is historically known as the Step-Empress who became the empress after the death of Xiaoxian Empress
She really insulted the dead Empress and prince and sassed the current one and is being pissy about being on house arrest and having to paint flags? Shes lucky she didnt get demoted or sent to the cold palace
@@southernbelle6200 she was not guilty for both 5th and 6th princess… Remember the really nice one miscarried after the dog incident. Jia didn’t try and kill the brother of the 5th princess. The former Empress was involved in some of the things as well she “confessed” to. She didn’t kill the empress but she did put suspicion on another person though. She was a foreign concubine treated badly by everyone. Her kids already had it stacked against them. There was no way she would empress.
I haven't watched this drama, only these RU-vid clips but from those, consort Jia is a gaslight QUEEN. Damn lol. She always says something rude as shit, acts all arrogant and never without her signature 'I have something stuck way up my ass' glare. When the other women calls her out on her shit, she all of a sudden is a victim and feels like she's being bullied lol. That's grade AAA sociopathic tendencies. That being said, to make me loathe this girl so much only means this actress did a very good job portraying this character!
My guess would be that they were groomed in court etiquette from the time they were young so they would know how to speak and exactly what to say? You see lots of examples of people speaking in sync in these period dramas when they're speaking to royalty so I guess it was a cultural thing?
She disrespected the emperors dead child. I could hear the contempt in her voice even though I don’t speak Chinese. No wonder the empress was angry. Her and the concubines were all grieving the loss of the child and their friend.
I don't usually watch these type of dramas, but these clips are really interesting. And the Empress seems like an exceptional woman. I like her voice, and her poise.
Usually i’m not into chinese drama especially a concubine drama like this. But damn ain’t it juicy to look at. Sorry i’m still gery new to this, but damn the characters and stern in their voice and composure is really what sells me here.
@@manofernando9918 well... her character personality is meant to have a sinister yet ‘childish’ tone to her voice. Therefore the audience could differentiate the antagonistic trait of a character. Sure her voice is odd but the voice fits her role perfectly.
The actress's acting made me feel like disciplining her so badly😅 for a moment even though i've only seen her once😅😅😅 Real good at portraying character as my point❤❤✨️ The empress is pretty good too✨️✨️✨️
The emperor didn't care about noble consort Jia hurting the other women in the harem, he only got rid of her after she secretly came after him with her son.
She was lucky (Jia) not being demoted nor sent to Cold Palace, but only to make requiem flag for insulting the dead empress as punishment. Last time when she wearing red dress upon ceremonial of new empress, she was pierced by big earloop earring. That's hurt.
I find that ironic that during this scene he says one suspicion and no evidence does not lead to guilty guilty but all he had when thinking about Ruyi and Li Yunche was suspicion and no evidence which is crazy That he could say it like that but he believed all the suspicions in the world when it involved them.
I have only seen the clips of this drama/film and everything seems so artistic? The props, clothes, camera work, BGM and actors and actresses do an amazing job too. Also the voice of this empress is so soothing to hear.
I gather it after watching several Chinese period dramas that the lady ranking highest among concubines -- second only to the empress -- is always in a "villainous" position, or at least that's how she's portrayed in the media. Charles Darwin's Survival of the Fittest, and Struggle for Existence comes alive here. 😂
It wouldn't register to them as something to be jealous about because its normal to them. When someone sneezes and you say "bless you", you're not literally blessing them are you? Its just something you're used to and don't think about anymore.
@@robins2819 They are all jealous regardless which is one of the main reasons why they usually don't get along and never will few women want to share their man plus when they have children they have to compete to get their children to the throne over the next women plus how themselves and the children are favoured is a next issue
@@Introvertsan Many of the women in these dramas treat each other as sisters and they even adopt/raise another ones children. Of course, there are bad (jealous) apples in every basket, but this situation was normal for them. They were raised in that environment. Their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers etc. all had multiple consorts. It was normal. They didn't know another way of life. In this series, there's actually a scene where the Empress doesn't understand how European men can have a single wife.
If I was Ruyi I would have had Jia exiled from the Kingdom, as she was nothing but a cancer and a backstabber. I would love to have a wife like Ruyi, so beautiful, wise, kind, and considerate. Definitely would make me a much better person.
Just one glaring error in a series I am beginning to love. The budgerigars in the cage. Not common in China until the 20th century and no blue budgie existed until later in the 20 century. Green is their natural colour all others are man made.
@@tomoe6792 as this is pre 20th century blue budgerigars did not exist. My words 'not common' were in error. They should have been 'did not exist anywhere'.
@@alfredom.antonio8812 you can search ruyis royal love on youtube, and there will be playlists of full episodes with english subtitles if you turn on youtube captions, hope that helps!
who...are the writers of this show. did they win RU-vid like.....if RU-vid comments are flame they are like...1000X flame gosh, these power writers. how much do they cost I need them for those daily bitches in the office.
Selir Jia yg paling sering hamil dg selamat ( krn dia yg paling usil jahil thd selir lain, kalau bkn ulah nya sendiri : dia bisa hasut orang lain utk berbuat jahat)
Didn't matter though. I watched the drama, sadly just ¾ of the drama, that once the Queen got pregnant the Emperor ignored all his children and all consorts just to give attention to the Empress. I was like, 'he did not just do that' 🤣.
@@kyupified2440 Yeah, boo. I know about that. It's just that when you think about those scenes again, it's hilarious and so satisfying to see the looks on those consorts' faces.
Imperial Noble Consort Huixian = "Noble Consort Gao" (Lady Gaogiya had no honorific title during her lifetime, even when she was Noble Consort (as attested in the scroll painting by Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining) of Qianlong and his harem, currently at a Cleveland museum), hence "Noble Consort Gao" is a bit wrong and disrespectful at the least...) also why is Noble Consort Jia from the "Yu clan" (玉氏) when she's from the Gingiya clan (金佳氏), no matter her name here is "Jin Yuyan" (金玉妍)
This is not directly derived from the real history of Qing dynasty but from a Novel Hou Gong Ru Yi Zhuan although some of the characters and story is from real life of Empress Ruyi.
金玉妍（Jin Yuyan）＝김옥연（Kim Ogyeon） 玉氏王爷 李昑（Yu Clan His Majesty/Li Qin）＝조선 영조 이금（朝鲜英祖 李昑） （Joseon Yeongjo/Lee Geum） 金氏/Jin Shi＝Jin Clan/Kim Clan（金氏一族）.（Jin/Kim is surname） 玉氏/Yu Shi（Yu Clan）/朝鲜/Chaoxian=Joseon Dynasty Noble Consult Jia's clan is Korean from North Korea in history. In fact, her family had been naturalized manchu in the early Qing Dynasty. After Noble Consult Jia died, Emperor Qianlong ordered people to go to North Korea to erect a monument for her In the TV, Noble Consult Jia is a tribute girl from the Joseon Dynasty. Historically, since Goryeo Dynasty and Joseon Dynasty were affiliated states/subsidiary country of ancient China, many of tribute girls from the Korean Peninsula were sent to Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty emperors. For example, Empress Ki.
OK, potential anachronism spotted! The birds in the Emperor's birdcage are budgerigars- and as far as I know, there wouldn't have been any kind of trading with Australia until the late 18th century at the very earliest, if then. Oops!
Im sure Henry's mother Diana would have loved Megan Markle. The media constantly attacked her too, then only after her death did they change their tune. Jia, and Megan are both beautiful in their own right. It's sad when people compare two very different women.
