It's called politics. Fucha is from a powerful tribe. That was the original reason Hongli's mother wanted him to marry her. This emperor spent his entire reign worrying about what others would say or do. Fear of offending tribes he needed to stay on good terms with, kept him from severely punishing/killing offending concubines. Had he dealt with them swiftly and completely many lives would have been spared, especially his children's.
Yep. A bunch of children and teenage girls sent to serve a bunch of two faced, backstabbing aristocrats and warlords. I low key feel bad for even the villainous members of the haram. They were all just pawns sacrificed for a powerful man and his family’s continued rule.
@@katherinkeegan8601Well put. Even the servants living in the Forbidden City come from well connected, aristocratic families. They expect their relatives at court to do whatever is necessary to enrich their clan’s wealth, resources, and reputation while gaining the emperor’s ear. Often times these courtiers are little more than children themselves. I imagine, being young teenage girls from upperclass families, the young girls coming to court must have been incredibly sheltered up until that point. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable and even frightening all the gossip, intrigue, and high stakes drama would have been to a young lady in that position.
I just noticed, after watching this clip sveral times before, that there are no footprints at all in the courtyard yet the servants are not covered in snow...
0:17 the emperor couldn’t touch her at the moment, because the royals still need Hui’s father to help the government with certain matters of the countries. It’s not that he protects her, it’s that he is prioritizing the country, that’s why when the dowager poisoned Hui, the emperor didn’t say or do anything (allowing this slow assassination)
Weird question, but it's now making me itch that I've noticed it - how did the little maid know that A'Ruo wanted her to bring the rope to hang herself? Did I miss a scene where she had a chance near one of the maids to ask for it ~before~ she was silenced? Write a note or send a message? Because the idea of having to mime for that is horrible yet distressingly funny to try to picture. That had to be one of the most morbid games of charades, ever.
I think a lot of what was written in the novel was either omitted or is edited in a way to sort of stay true. In the cold palace you see that A'rou is bloody and cut up but they left out in the book that Ruyi ordered her to be thrown in a sack with feral cats and whipped so that she would confess who the true culprit was (Ruyi likely suspected the Empress, Hui, and Jia). Since it's not from A'rou's point of view we only know that she committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam with a rope wearing a red dress and shoes so she could become a vengeful spirit. This could all be gossip or hearsay so it really can't be trusted. She likely killed herself so that the higher ups wouldn't force her to watch her entire family be slaughtered by the nine familial exterminations before executing her. She also might have been strangled and then hung to look like she committed suicide. Since we don't see what the maid brings we don't know but your idea of a macabre game charades made me giggle.
Interesting! Here in the West, a woman will do almost anything to get rid of stretch marks after having a baby, yet it seems that in China, in the period of time this drama is set in, at least, stretch marks appear to be considered attractive. Perhaps this idea that a fertile woman is a beautiful one helps explain why China has such a big population.
Not really. If you continued watching the next episodes, there was a time when Hailan was called to serve the emperor again, but upon seeing the stretch marks, the emperor did not touch her and sent her back. Also, there was a scene when Jia, the one who plotted to cause stretch marks to Hailan, said something about 'no husband would want to sleep with their wives when they see those marks' ...
He’s one of the best schemers in the palace. It was just really sad that he applied his schemes on Ruyi in the end. Imagine facing the most powerful man in the country who schemes and manipulates you by mentally torturing you. Ruyi suffered a lot 😢
李玉餵藥太帥了🥰🥰🥰
霍建華實在太帥了~
The emperor know the guilt of the empress and yet he protects her. Such a hypocrite and foolish too.
你要反對媽媽😂

如懿黑化真狠
本來有咁好的主子❤️做下人就想一朝得志😡語無倫次😡如懿真的好心疼是自己從小一齊長大丫鬟害自己😡
That is a life I would never want to live living in the palace is living in hell
Agreed. It's the same story in every country in every era. It just isn't worth it.
I just noticed, after watching this clip sveral times before, that there are no footprints at all in the courtyard yet the servants are not covered in snow...
海蘭生一個仔❤️養大一個仔就比奸人害死了😖
標題下的很怪，哪裡來的50隻畜生啊？
在原著中阿箬被綁在麻袋中 放入野貓 鞭打麻袋讓裡面的人被抓傷
電視劇首播時，如懿給阿箬貓刑，但重播的這段都剪掉了變成送去冷宮，毫無威嚇旁觀的下人們😂
Bug越看越有
講了 兄長被貴妃殺
不講 謀害皇子誅九族
那兩個兄長怎麼都是個死
那為什麼不把皇后貴妃供出來😂
真的生一個仔要比人害到命都冇😖
其實如懿把阿箬賣去砸某間就好😂
如懿性格沒那麼下作
😂
等下集😊
你直接搜尋不就不用等
He protected Hui. If A ru was punished Hui should have been too.
Exactamente también Hui tuvo que ser castigada

Hui's family was involved in the govt so the emperor couldn't touch her yet
阿箬被毒啞，我覺得很棒！整齣戲她的聲音都呈現不舒服的狀態

Is it just me, or did Ruyi do something to A’Rou’s hand too?
@@calamityjai99In the novel, it is said that Ruyi pulled Aruo's nails out. That's why she was seen holding her hands on the ground
嘉貴妃😡可以買兇殺人殺太醫😖

問不出來 還是可以寫字啊
以阿箬的程度也寫不出幾個字😂😂😂😂
問題不在於阿箬會不會寫字，能不能寫字。而是皇帝把人毒啞這個動作，本身就是在警告所有人這件事就到此為止，不准查也不用查。
在宮廷內主子的心思很少會明說，奴才夠機靈，能揣摩主子的動作背後的含義是什麼，才活得久。反之如果讓主子明說，那奴才也就大禍臨頭了，因為那表示你不了解主子的心思，沒資格待在他身邊。
我也覺得
她不敢.
家人在高貴妃手中.
應該是婢女不識字，識字也不敢寫，怕整個家族受牽連
