10:56 Didn't you say you were going to finish the anime before reading the books. LMAO, just kidding. You amazed me with how dead on you were with your prediction here. Oddly, I learned this from another series where I know the author used real historical accounts for the basis of her world. The retainers/servants of highs nobles were almost always entirely middle and lower ranking nobles. Only lower ranking nobles commonly had commoners as servants. As always, I love your reactions. (If only I could get them more than twice a week. LMAO)

They're always slapping someone in the Crystal Pavilion. I was disappointed that Jinshi didn't stand for Maomao haha.

I felt like Lihua decided to have Shin exiled from the rear palace rather than be executed, because she knew that an exile where Shin can never come back, and have absolutely 0% chance of ever getting the Emperor to notice her from now on is a fate worse than death for the kind of person Shin was... That was my take on it at least, because I'm pretty sure she would have been executed if not for what Lihua did.... So I just feel like Lihua did it on purpose to give a punishment she felt was worse than death...

The way Lihua had her fist up, I think she really would have enjoyed feeding Shin some knuckles!

This is just assumption, but let's consider what happens to Shin after leaving the rear palace dishonored. Since her family is a distant branch family of the emperor, I can't see anything good happening to her. She's dishonored herself and her family by attempting to "murder" (if not already murdered by proxy) the emperor's children. She won't just be exiled from the rear palace, surely she would also be exiled from the branch family. I assume she'd be wed into a lower noble family in an attempt to keep or gain loyalty.

I imagine so. Lihua might feel that Shin was somehow linked to the death of her son, and would take great pleasure in beating her. At the same time, we also understand that Lihua is very proper. She was raised with the vision that she could become empress, and thus has the restraint from sullying her name and her position.

I still feel it's a mercy nonetheless and prevents sullying entirely her clans name. Whilst Shin will leave in disgrace, Lihua protects her clan in turn so that their reputation isn't tied to a traitor who was executed for trying to murder the emperor's children. I see it as Lihua showing her the last bit of grace and kinship out of love for the childhood they shared together before severing ties entirely without bringing shame to her own family in turn because she's conscious of how reputation matters 😊 Shin will see it as a punishment but Lihua sees it as a mercy.

Lihua's one of my favourite characters and imo was the first indication of how much depth this story would have. Based on how she was introduced in episode 1, it would have been so easy to make her this bitter scheming villain but instead she's a genuinely good person trying to do her best without pulling others down

I loved seeing more of Lihua but I had hoped it would be under more pleasant circumstances. She’s been through so much already so it’s painful to see someone close to her target her life and her unborn child… I’m glad that Lihua’s grown strong enough to stand up for herself but still maintain her gracefulness.
