Blossoms of Power Episode 29

Rescuing refugees, granting Gma’s wish and hunters becoming the hunted

As they return home they find abandoned refugees in Daozhou. The three royals work together to better their circumstances and plan for future housing to prevent sickness from spreading. Gifts are rewarded to all except Prince Ding who is now on the palace wanted list for his treason. When they get back HuaYong makes a case for Gma’s wish.🤣😁 I was ready to roll my eyes when the excuses began again, but this time it was genuine teasing rather than countering. I think gma might get her wish soon.🥰😁 After all the subterfuge and plotting, the servants and guards are all rather pleased that there is finally a true alliance of the love sort between them. With a few exceptions, there are only smiles and approval of these two truly joining in matrimony. Consort Rong is reinstated thanks to Changqing’s battle performance. XiHe visits to show respect with greeting but she was also shrewd enough to assign new handpicked staff for her. This will hopefully continue to curtail her ambitions and keep her in check. HuaYong asking to be dressed and applying her makeup. Too bad no heart monitor like in lipstick prince.🤣😂 I am curious as to whose heart is racing more.🥰❤️⁉️As a reward and decompressing activity a hunt has been set up with Changqing hosting and brother providing security. Changqing is determined to score a fawn and Huayong is equally determined to give it time to grow up. Right when the two are ready to battle a little more strongly, they find themselves surrounded by masked men while they are off their horses and no swords. They have a brotherly discussion while chained and HuaYong schemes into getting a wound treated and fed. Seems Changtai is like the bad penny that just can’t help himself from showing up. He truly has nothing to lose so it seems he will be providing the name of HuaYong’s poisoner. But it does make me wonder what tradeoff happened for that intel. Changqing refuses to let go of XiHe and believes himself the only worthy suitor of the crown prince’s wife after he passes. Here Huayong hits him with some honest brotherly truth that I really hope Changqing listens to. HuaYong understood something that no other suitor has appreciated to the same degree. All the others wanted to protect and decide for her what was for her own good. Even he had made mistakes in that regard. But what truly brings her to appreciate the suitor is understanding she is like a phoenix hat has overcome great obstacles and chooses to fly high and her own course. To win her she must be kept free and allowed her own choice of fate. Here Huayong reminded him that if he did not understand this about her, that any claim he had to her was lost long ago. HuaYing did not try to deny or explain if she was indeed the prior Gu sister, but regardless of what mesh of souls she currently is, he let Changqing know that he is the one that understands her best no matter any prior commitment Changqing had with his ex. What was surprising was the actual concern Changqing still had for his brother. This also showed on the battlefield when he fought hard for the right side. If he could let his dead wife be dead there really wouldn’t be any conflict between them. Princess Shen knows exactly what Changqing has to offer. It’s not that he isn’t sincere or lacks leadership skills, she simply is not interested in what he has to offer her. She always felt bound and not free. She would be resentful of him like before or come to feel nothing at all. This would not be a good end for either of them. Our couple could not put it in any plainer terms for him. He is obsessive in this as Changtai is for the throne, It would take Changqing being willing to rewire his thoughts about her and it is very doubtful he would have the capacity to truly make her happy in this regard. As the episode ends XiHe is pulling out all the stops and having her undercover guards included in the mix to find the missing prince as she heads out with the group to help find him.
