Lady Rong is held prisoner by the Emperor. He’s never been rejected by a woman before and can’t wrap his head around it. He can’t cope with the reality that some woman would not desire and care for him. Ruyi recognizes that he is living in a fantasy and the words he speaks to her about his like and love for Rong and her body are like stabs in Ruyi’s heart and she’s repelled by the Emperor. Ruyi is the only one who has sympathy for Rong’s plight - everything that’s happening isn’t her fault. She encourages the Emperor to see Rong’s feelings, but he thinks only of himself. She’s seen the true face and heart of the Emperor (her lover of youth days) as he is now and realizes he is forever lost to her.
"She sought death from her torment, the sorrow of a woman. I hope one day you can understand how she feels." I hope he remembered and reflected on this after Ruyi dies, because that felt like the same feeling of pain for him. Can't say I think he did though.
Ruyi isn't the only one seeing the true face of the Emperor. He is holding those people hostage. His continuing generosity is based on her giving in to his desires. His forcing of that girl is repulsive.
The Emperor knows Princess Xiangjian will never love him, still he pursues his obsession with possessing her body, even though it is against her will, and he has the audacity to claim he "likes" her and he "loves" her. He manipulates and lies to her. His fixation costs him the only true relationship he has - once Ruyi sees him as he really is, she can never forget. Princess Xiangjian never grows to love him. His harem loses respect for him. He must face the betrayal of Consort Ling, and the realization she easily manipulated him into accusing, punishing, and killing innocents. Ruyi leaves him, in this life and her next lives. In the end he is unloved and completely alone.
@@Gegewatching this is a great sign of a series. Multiple relationships developed not all romantic. It was brilliant on her part to take children out of the equation. It meant some nights went to others to have more heirs. It meant she could serve him longer and not die in childbirth or be ruined with stretch marks.. what a baby. He has no self regulation. It also mark Ruyi and Dowager Queen change in relationship. Ruyi sought her advice first. Risked emperor wrath. Except for that one evil thing at the end all the consorts respected Ruyi as Empress and sister. They had been through a lot together. Been idle together. Been used together in various ways.
@@kristinesharp6286 You make valid points. But I think her decision was mainly emotional and to keep some of her bodily autonomy. She didn't want a baby with someone who was forcing himself on her. She lost the man she loved and didn't want a child with anyone else, let alone the Emperor. He seems so happy and thoughtful, and then my stomach turns when I remember she's being "pampered" against her will. Most of the other consorts just see she's getting attention and are cold to her. They forget she hates being there and tried to kill him when they first met.
@@hpr2008 none of them are pampered. I think there are several reasons the other consorts are not seeking friendship at the minute. Some of the concubines no matter the rank came from border or just beyond vassal states. Like Jia was Korean. She could have no alliance only those of empress and empress inner circle. The same with this favored concubine. Cause who knows what could happen diplomatically in the future? Even the man to whom he sent his sister rebelled. Politics is not supposed to be in the harem but it is in the harem. It’s the reason for the harem. A number of the women are hostages. Once she started to assimilate and follow customs the others could let their guard down somewhat. The other consorts don’t care what attention a consort gets, just what they themselves get. He liked Ruyi cause they knew each other since youth and she could talk plainly to him, as well as adjust to politeness. Some just gave him false guarded praise. It’s because she hated him that he was so intrigued. She didn’t have that filter.

Yes! I agree with your statement! Almost everyone present saw the emperor's disgusting face! It's shameless!

6:33 😂很想锤他的脸😂😂😂😂
難怪如懿最後把畫毀了
14:12 Ruyi herself is wearing similar style clothing!
The emperor must wear yellow to identify himself.
Sorry wrong part.
@@kristinesharp6286 yeah, you are right!
Какой ужас,действительно быть запертым с императором полудурком во дворце,без возможности выйти оттуда😢
皇帝真的是不值得得到真愛。帥男演噁男也能讓人真噁，演技給過。
😮
一個做丈夫的對妻子說他是真心喜歡小妾，做妻子的作何感受？
동서고금을 막론하고 여자 하나 취할라고 별짓을 다함....
真的渣男
