I think you have misinterpreted parts of episode 7, or maybe just missed a few amusing interpretations that I had made about the emperor in this episode. From his attitude, he seemed to be playfully teasing Jinshi about his crush on Maomao throughout the episode. When the teacher challenged Maomao about if she was worthy to take on the challenge despite not even being a concubine, the emperor joked about making her his concubine, then laughed after witnessing Jinshi's flustered response. Then, slyly, he says to Jinshi "Why don't YOU take her through the challenge?". This challenge, being one to choose a worthy emperor, to be undertaken with a concubine of his choice. That felt like the Emperor was nudging Jinshi to take the throne with Maomao at his side. And at the end, when the teacher suggests that Maomao would be a good choice to add to their blood, while warning him to be wary of the conflict that might give rise to, he looks at Jinshi, waiting for his response. This tells me that he approves of Maomao, and that he wants to make sure that his son, Jinshi, is aware of the issues that he might face.

ahhhh we thought the emperor was messin w HER, but him messing with Jinshi is infinitely funnier. IDK if an emperor would encourage his heir/spare to take the challenge while he's alive, would he?

Well, he’s shown to be a good guy, and would it be too surprising if he would be happy to see his son ascend to the throne? Though it is possible that he just wants to declare Jinshi as the crown prince. (Btw, I have no doubt in my mind that Jinshi is his son. He looks too similar to Ah Duo to not be. Jinshi seems to have been led to believe in the lie that he’s the Enperor’s brother, despite intuitively sensing that he is in fact his son).

"Btw, I have no doubt in my mind that Jinshi is his son" OK! WE TALKED ABOUT THAT! I agree with you. If the Emperor knows Jinshi is his heir, and is cool with that, then 100% I agree. I guess Corbin and I were kind of working with some ambiguity on "who is clear on what." Like, back to our southerner example, the teen who "got in trouble" knows they're the parent. But the dynamic as they grow up might not be that. oh the tea is hottttt
