Blossoms of Power Episode 20

When end comes closer, they finally marry

I hope they succeed in curing Huayong, but I am also afraid we might be moving towards a sad ending (at least for him), especially when I consider the intro where Huayong's silhouette with Xihe's head in his lap disperses and then she's alone near the throne. But for this, of course, I will have to wait until the end. 🥺And finally, Xihe agreed to marry Huayong. The reason she says out loud is because he has only one year left to live and that's his wish before he dies, but in truth, she already has some feelings for him. I expect great and beautiful moments from their union. 🤗🥰But about Cui and Lin... I love them, but I get why Lin would be mad at him. I would be too if there were someone who constantly pestered me, intervened in any of my plans, and just didn't leave me alone for a bit. Cui, please be more thoughtful when it comes to Lin if you want her to accept you in any way! 😮‍💨🙏

Justice to be served and most auspicious day🥰❤️

XiHe learns from her aunt that a cousin participated in cheating for an exam. Huayong had a different perspective as a student. He saw with his own eyes questions being passed around and test proctors turning a blind eye to the rich kids. He is determined to rout them all out of the system and wants them scared straight for the next decade. He is surprised when XiHe agrees with him. Even tho her weakest link is maternal family side she prefers weeding out corruption whether or not it implicates family members. What the prince doesn’t know is that her devotion to the night blooming flower is to provide a rare medicinal ingredient that will help lungs. She personally oversees their care and is quite meticulous in every aspect of farming the flower. Shulin is still at odds with Minister Cui and takes off for her leisure with the ladies. Cui soon joins the party and tells her interfering with official courtesans is an offense with up to ten years imprisonment. He turns out to be the know it all about the history of the dance she enjoys.😂🤣He then offers a critique of the song being played and how the musician played it too beautifully to render the true intent of the song. Shulin gives up and leaves in a borderline tantrum. She gets home to find out Doc Xie is out of town so while the servant gets her meds Cui is sitting right by her. She rants, requests and finally begs for him to stay distant promising to stay out of those places in future. He reminds her that if she forgets, she will have another day like today. 😂🤣 He is trying to remind her that acting like a man and being one are two different things. She needs to be more circumspect in places offering pleasure and drinks. She doesn’t have to be a teetotaler, but she needs to curb her drunken state habits considerably just for her own safety. There arguing lands them in a precarious position when the servant re enters the room. He very quickly runs thru med directions and then runs. 🤣😂 Minister Cui is enjoying his stay at the Bu residence but the host seems far less comfortable with the arrangement. 🤣This segues to the crown prince and doc Xie exploring new detoxifications methods. When his blood is tested there is a surprised and sad reaction. All his acts of bravery has caused irreparable harm to his meridians and sped up the toxins. There is one method left to try. It brings tears to the eyes to see what his friend endured for him as thanks for the honoring of his mother. And seeing the degree of pain, he chooses to accept the treatment to gain even one more day with the one he loves.😭Once again tears come to the eyes as he forthrightly tells her the news. He even tries to pass it off as good news.😭 He promises to do everything she wishes and that even if he had a change of heart, he would not live long enough to change anything. When asked if his prime objective was to find his poisoner, he said his view had changed. He no longer wanted to be imprisoned by the poison and wanted to do things that mattered for the future. He candidly told her how ever syllable she spoke weighed deeply in his heart and that if she wanted to say something heartbreaking to really consider hard before saying. He handed her a bundle of auspicious dates ti marry and warned ti not choose too far out because he might not be around for it. 😭She is now looking at the dates and pondering his words. He is so happy at her acceptance and she has chosen the earliest date. She goes to visit his Gma and runs into Prince Lie. Unlike his brother, he is every bit the gentleman assuring her he has no agenda but to wish her happiness. He does remind her of their pleasant times together and she congratulates him on his promotion in cavalry unit. His skills are truly best used there. Hua Ying is personally adding pearls to her wedding headpiece. He is picturing her in it while he fights off exhaustion. She must keep to the palace directives, but within that parameter he urges her to choose whatever is to her liking. He is so nervous waiting for her and so enraptured when she enters. She is exquisite in her choice of silk and his headdress. She claims to be in for the year as promised, but when she guarded the flowers for him and as she looks in his eyes and sees his wedding attire, there is a softness to her gaze she never really allows. When getting advice from his elders there is a respectful response to hold them to heart. This is the first time she has accepted his hand rather than servant’s to enter the carriage.😂🥰 As they prepare to leave, he changes to accompany her by his side rather than leading the procession. It is usually happy tears for a wedding, but this one hits the purest bittersweet note. There will be no growing old together, but every moment willl be a lifetime.❤️🌹
