The First Jasmine Episode 9

Kites, cases, bounties and paintings

Fun scene with uncle teaching Wu You strengthening moves. Wu You is much more interested in fighting skills. 😂🤣 He gets Ye Li to help with his homework and soon there is a gathering to reshape parts for his centipede kite. Xiu Yao comes home to a very cute scene of his nephew and steward testing the kite. He is actually smiling and noting how radiant his wife is. At work his new hire is worth all of the regular officials. One is weeded out for fraud and the others put on notice this will no longer be tolerated. There is an interesting exchange between Ying’s hire and a colleague hired to bring him back. The contract is made with another veiled lady. Xiu Yao makes it home for dinner and sees proof of Ye Li’s healer abilities, but he still refuses to consider her more capable than the doctors he’s already seen. She visits him at work and asks him to accompany her to the temple. Our workaholic prince has not noticed how late it is and heads home after being told his wife had left. He later learns she has been at the temple for several days. He arrives to find her painting a mural and handling a key facial feature all the professionals were arguing about.🤣😂 He also finds his spy buddy there who is greatly amused at the changes in his friend. Xiu Yao reprimands Ye Li who counters him point by point and asking what’s his problem. 🤣He can’t rebut and finds himself actually sharing sleeping quarters with his wife. 🤣🫣 She will not accommodate his schedule because she has bargained for a painting from the famous artist. Him throwing his robe to stop watching her undress. 🤣🫣 Ye Li is fun because she does not shy away from intimacy. She’s not the least bit discomfited sharing a bed as that’s what married couples do. We have a scene of his brother asking for Xiu Yao to be spared. Lishan feels responsible for the condemnation and death of the prince but it is still unclear who wrote, sent and hid or destroyed the royal decree that called him away from the battle. Prince Li is still pouting and avoiding his wife. 😝 There is a lot going on in Ye Li’s head but everywhere someone is hurting or needing help, she is like an Angel of Mercy providing what is needed and giving them hope. Her flip side is Angel of Vengeance where she doesn’t shirk meting out justice and retribution. She is a very interesting character and I am thoroughly enjoying her prince trying to figure her out. What I like most, he really wants to. 🥰🧐
