Blossoms of Power Episode 3

Meeting the princes

I actually wonder if the poisoning was meant for the Emperor and he just gave those cherries to Huayong out of fatherly affection? And now he's full of guilt about that, so all the things he does — like not naming his other sons "Hua", keeping Huayong as the Crown Prince, and calling him his most beloved son — are just to relieve his heart of that guilt? 🤔🤷‍♀️At the meeting with the princes, I had a feeling that the 5th prince either recognised some similarities between Shen Xihe and his late wife, or maybe his attention was caught by her philosophy on whether one should care about other people's words and thoughts, because that would imprison oneself? 🤨 I think Xihe being so similar to his wife will be what makes him fall in love, or at least feel interested in her.However, we didn't see the 2nd prince at the meeting. I know they said he had a wife who died, too. So, was the reason he didn't come because he's just not interested in marrying another woman? 🤷‍♀️I do love how Huayong acts so frail and innocent in front of everyone, but in truth, with the help of Tian Yuan, he just deceives the whole world! And the way he admires and praises pretty much anything Xihe does — whether good or merciless... the shock on Tian Yuan's face is always so priceless. He just can't with his boss, lol! 😩😂As for the last two, it's pretty clear now. The 4th prince's intentions were perfectly described by Huayong, so he's the one I would trust the least atm, and the 9th prince has just completely fallen for her. 😏💘

Sir, I Do Not Trust You

There’s something shady about Xiao Changqing! He’s playing the part of devoted widower a little too well. Him telling Xiao Changying not to be like him and end up with unrequited love because Lady Gu didn’t reciprocate his feelings should have been sad… but sir, I don’t believe you 😂👀He’s giving off serious power-hungry vibes. Plus, he didn’t seem that bothered about his wife when he executed her entire family, leaving her as the sole survivor. Something isn’t adding up.🌸My favourite scene was Shen Xihe going to the Eastern Palace for tea while Xiao Huayong puts on a whole show about how much he loves flowers. Meanwhile, Tian Yuan was up all night sorting out the garden because it’s all a lie 😂🌸I’m loving the cuteness of Xiao Huayong, but I need him to speed it up a little. Shen Xihe is being an absolute badass while he’s playing frail. I get he’s playing a part, but I want to see more of his sneaky side against everyone else.👀Right now, Shen Xihe is the only one getting the full Xiao Huayong experience 😂 Suspicion levels are rising and I’m still intrigued.
