The First Jasmine Episode 16

Mending

Their relationship is building up so beautifully! 🥰We got their first date where A'Li finally opened up and revealed some truth, like the real story of her mother's death. We got him standing up and making his first steps—oh, what a joy that was for him. He couldn't thank A'Li enough for pushing him then and being the persistent person she is. AND we got our first kiss... so sweet, tender and best of all—sudden! 🤗❤️I loved A'Li giving advice to her stepmom to take care of her children, because they need it. Ying heard that and I think it somehow stayed in her heart. Maybe she won't go against A'Li anymore? 😌And Ying has seen Jingli's suspicious behaviour—sneaking out when he was supposed to be dead drunk, or wincing when she accidentally touched his arm (which we all know was injured) and then seeing him and his servant with medicine and bandages.... yeah, not suspicious at all. I wonder what Mo Jingli will do with his wife since he suspects she suspects, and she suspects he is being suspicious.... if anyone gets what I mean here! 😂🤔

Time for healing

It is surprising that Ye Li simply sends her gma off with good wishes. The second surprise is the step mom. There is a hidden agenda with her that we don’t know yet. Neither reveals the other’s secret and both are content with the outcome. Ye Li makes it clear she only has hard feelings for her father and she does not blame her for marrying him. Li just cautions that it might not be in her best interest, but she is free to live her life as she chooses. She even offers some kind thoughts about Rong and Ning. Ning in particular is surprised because she’s been especially mean to her and jealous she has JingLi’s attention and affection. The decree is with Qin Zheng who is a top supporter of Empress Dowager. She has a chat with the Marquis’ son and hints he should get along better with Qin. It seems these two are brothers of different mothers which adds to their competition for the Marquis’ attention. Jingli is still healing and Ning figures out he is injured. She also knows he left the Ye house which he denies because he was too drunk to be able to leave. She has no clue what his agenda is and I am sad that she is stuck with one who has no interest in her whatsoever as a wife. His friend flat out asks him why he doesn’t work with Xiu Yao and he can’t say because he covets the one he spurned. Ye Li presents Xiu Yao with a walker and asks him to try it out. The actor magnificently displays the overwhelming surprise and satisfaction of seeing the world eye to eye with those around him again. It is a very moving and poignant moment for all of them. ❤️ He has the maid’s remains identified and returned to the family and promises to follow it up with charges and punishments for those involved. This seems to satisfy Li. Their ‘walk’ together was sweet and ended up with pinwheels like children. Both are enjoying the freedom of just being. He takes off work to practice walking and shares his joy with the neighborhood children by having a stall with treats and coins for their enjoyment to share his happiness. He also wants to give happiness to Li and she chooses shopping, but when they get to town she refuses to shop in competitor’s shops and he thinks it is not beneficial to solely shop in her store. He reminds her that the coins spent would be his and not hers so she agrees. 😂🤣 She is looking through their selection of goods and wants to see the good stuff. They were reluctant until they figured out who was doing the shopping, and at episode end they were taking them to a private room for a special showing. So now I am curious what the step mom really wants from the Ye’s. What will happen when Jingli and XiuYao face off with matters other than loving the same woman? Watching affection grow between Ye Li and her Prince as he heals. 🥰And finding out why next preview shows Li heading down the mountain with the decree? 🧐
