@@estherwong4408 .... I wonder if there was someone who is a absolute leader that could change these rules. Or perhaps not have so many women in his harem. There was emperors that had a small number of women of course the emperor is still to blame 🙄
@@monicadriver707 My understanding is that the Emperor was allowed 3 wives, 1 Empress 1 Imperial Consort, 2 Noble consorts, unlimited Imperial concubines, Noble Ladies, First Attendants and Second Attendants
I am so hungry for Chinese food right now. I tried to order some from the local Chinese place about four months ago, but they would not deliver due to corona chan. Six years ago I lived closer to a better place, but they would not deliver to me here at my current address. I have been trying to lose weight, and I have lost ten pounds. I think I shall reward myself and drive to the old place and get that roasted pork with bean sprouts that is so good.
Sadly, it’s been hard to find good Chinese restaurants that sells or make authentic Chinese dishes that we seen in the drama shows. Especially this show. The closest I can get for one food that has that kick, is Kong POW Chicken. Which I still love, but I still want to try some other spicy foods
She gets released from confinement so she can appear at an event where her tribe is going to be present. That way her tribe will not ask about why she was not there and have anger towards the Emperor.
@@CeceliaS69 The combination of having bad understanding about healthy life issues, inadequate (at least compared to modern standard) medical treatments, and many murderous hidden enemies. Forget about the beauty of the palace and luxurious lifestyle, the entire Forbidden City was literally a war zone. Only the best could survived.
ery mild, harmless jokes about the series. The thing is, to take it down, you need verification that you were mentioned in those videos, so it wasn’t her team, it was HER reporting them. This led to ppl being unhappy and making more videos in retaliation, which uncovered a LOT of effed up things Ruyi’s actress did in the past (homewrecked ppl, mistreated fellow actors, wrecked public property, etc) and they found out that Ruyi’s actress was also paying people to send death threats was still to anyone who talked bad about the series. I watched it as well, it’s disturbing how many scenes were dedicated to tormenting the villainesses. The protagonist was absolutely useless, Hailan did most of the work for her, and they didn’t fight back against Jia at ALL except for the earring scene, but literally killed Chun Concubine who was nothing but kind towards them. They also had a weird hatred for Yanwan who was FOURTEEN. FOURTEEN when Hailan and Ruyi first meet her. Overall, it’s just a bizarre and hateful series that got what it deserved.
Unfortunately this is where translation falls short. This yu concubine is this character: 豫, meaning “prepare/in advance”. Yongqi’s mom is 愉， meaning “joyful”
