Grandma only wanted to save her grandson who was the only male heir she had. Wei Shao was invading Xindu but the city is next to Panyi. If Li Su and the Qiao family formed an alliance to counter attack Wei Shao, her grandson would not be able to take the city.

The big picture was to take Xindu without problem and her grandson was safe so that the Wei family would extend to another generation.

Grandma practically killed two birds with one stone: Xindu and Yanzhou would be under the Wei State and her grandson would live another day.

Duang-ge now

A lifetime TB is a possibility.

9 from me at the moment after months of being deprived of good C-dramas.

His horrified expression when his mom declared that she had made him a pair of new shoes!

In the novel, he would just let his mom to hu now (mess around) as long as the incidents were not nasty.

The First Emperor of China. Apparently, he was rumoured to have a virgin every night.

I don't believe that, though. Humn beings have feelings. No one knows who his favourite concubine was.

Wei Liang takes up embroidery.

And, Mr. Gongsun is their Agony Aunt. He teaches the boys (including WS) about females and their feelings.

She even boasted that her eldest son would insist on wearing a new pair of shoes made by her!

Mother Wei must not be allowed to make shoes for her son, Wei Shao.

Just want to watch the entire drama in one go.

Before Wei Shao was drugged by his mother so that he could sleep with Zheng Yu.

No, she won't do that against Wei Shao because she knows he will kill her without hesitation. On their wedding day, she promised she would be a Wei member but she would always be a Qiao girl. She could only persuade Wei Shao not to attack her family while persuading her family to be loyal to WS so that he will have no excuse to exterminate them.

She will never betray Wei Shao because she promised to her grandfather that she would be good to him and his family.

At the moment, only TPOB is on my mind.

In the novel, he never liked his distant cousin. He found his mother foolish but he respected her. In the end, he became very stern with his mother.

Wei Shao never liked or loved anyone except Xia Qiao.

Xiao Tao and Wei Liang aka Wei Duang and now Duang-ge!

She was totally confused.

She is a good actress. I like her playing a baddie.

Imagine Emperor Kang Xi had more than 40 women in his life.
