The First Jasmine Episode 6

More questions and some funny moments

I wonder how close the Empress Dowager actually was to Ye Li's mother? In flashbacks, they looked super-close. 🤨Prince Li asking questions of his wife about her childhood just so he could hear about Ye Li's childhood is so messed up... He clearly has feelings for her. Also, he doesn't look like the warrior type. I really want to know the reason why they changed the betrothal! 🙋I love how Ye Li continues to be her little crazy self, like... khem... sneaking out in the middle of the night to chop down someone's tree? The reason was wonderfully sweet, yet the execution was hilarious. 😂 And I definitely adore how she defended Wuyou. Those kids were terrible—they even hit Ye Li with a bamboo stick? Really? Who raised them? 🙄

Cutting trees, making peacocks fly and stopping fights

Ye Li stole the show with Empress Dowager. Lishan’s loyalty was tested a bit and everybody was waiting for Ye Li to stop talking. Prince Li was out of sorts trying to play and injured his hand. Ye Li is called back and Empress Dowager learns her friend is dead. Maybe this will help shake her faith in the Marquis’ protection story. Li used his injury to get stories of Ye Li from his new bride. The sis tells a good story which both showed her to be mean kicking sis off the boat and that Ye Li recovered nicely.😝 The tree was a personal request of a scholar so she snuck into their family yard and cut it down. XiuYao found that a mystery task. 😂😂 She confessed to both the prince and her friend’s dad and promised to send the letter from home to Lishan. She put it in the box with the other unsent letters. Are these the seven massacred at the school or others? Her maid that disappears? She truly has no one left there. Telling her sis to call her aunt is very amusing as well as chastising Xiu Yao for not sticking up for her. He blamed complex relationships. 😝🤣The only thing that tops this is Ye Ying’s determination to make the peacocks fly with her flute playing. I am sure they want to.😂🤣 There was a beautiful scene with the musician playing the flute that the birds reacted to. His mistake was in offering to teach Ye Ying how to play. She is absolutely ridiculous and it was very fun to watch her efforts. Ye Li finds Wu You being beat up by a group of boys and helps him out. She has a very nice sisterly/auntie chat with him that will hopefully get him asking for help more often. She also has a chat with Xiu Yao that he should look after him better and not make his nephew deal with a group by himself. She has also just received news of his new appointment. This episode gave us more of the family dynamics. Ye Ying is a pompous brat even at the palace, but she doesn’t deserve to be ignored by her new husband. Xiu Yao is trying to decipher his wife’s antics and loyalties. Good luck with that.😂🤣 Prince Li seems to have met her first in Lishan but Xiu Yao made the biggest impression. I am hoping the flute accidentally gets broken. 😂🤣
