This scene just cements the fact Ruyi is not fit to be a queen. She considers herself as his wife, his equal but he is an emperor, a man with such authority that his even his wife can never be equal to him. I know she is a good person but she was never a good empress. The only person who can be a great empress is someone like Hailan who doesnt love the emperor but is calculating and smart with her moves
true but hongli is the one who wanted her as his official wife despite her outright stating she doesnt want to be empress and even hongli initially saying he just wanted her to be herself with him the lovers since before but his stupid headass in this series is costantly seduced by the vipers he kept sticking his dick in.
