Ep. 33 How Jan Pei’s Mother can hold such a grudge after so many years. Screeching like a 15year old at the…
It is based on two things from her POV. Madam Rong is also from a noble family so for her to have slept with the emperor even before marriage is a big thing. It is shameful to just sleep with someone before marriage, especially for women during that era. And for the emperor to tell her he can't take her as queen but as a consort, it absolutely angered her. She and the emperor are very alike so the emperor knows this humiliated Madam Rong (they are both power-hungry and wanted to climb ranks).
Madam Rong at this point would have moved on since Daddy Pei accepted and loved her. However, due to the emperor's distrust in Daddy Pei/Pei family, Daddy Pei eventually had to fight at the borders and die there (and we still don't know the full extent of what happened here). This then placed her and Pei Yan in a bad position since the rest of the Pei family didn't really care for them. So from her POV, the emperor took her chastity and didn't give her a proper title in return and then took away the person she fell in love later on. As she said, sometimes a "woman's grudge" is enough reason.
I think any casual viewers would be able to get this. The only ones who did try to hate on Jiang Ci for this would…
Yes, also I lowkey blame the way production has been editing these preview clips. I think they do it on purpose to generate discussion/hate. They made them so dramatic and act like ML is suffering left and right because of FL/other characters but when you watch the actual episode, it is just a lot of plotting + the angst doesn't truly last that long either.
when Jiang ci leaving the palace on her wedding day and she saw her master isn't it's better to take her also…
Nope, they did question why Dong Second Lady took this servant along (when this servant is supposed to prepare for the wedding) and probably would have reported it right away. They then would have found out that Jiang Ci left the wedding. Dong Second Lady will be heavily implicated here (she won't be able to escape this) aka aiding not only Jiang Ci leaving, but a whole assassin. Her family would be dragged into it (remember her sister is also the crown prince's wife).
It was doable with only Jiang Ci because no one knew Jiang Ci was in that carriage. But for Dong Second Lady to take the Master with her, Dong Second Lady would have to publicly make that request in front of the other servants and guards.
Jiang Ci never got to give her master the Bitterless Porridge. 💀💀💀 That was literally Jiang Ci's main…
She did remember? She and Wei Zhao left the palace together to go see her to give her the Porridge. But that's when they found out she was kidnapped. So Jiang Ci never got to meet her Master again until the wedding scene.

Same! It is just unfortunate some of the viewers are biased like that so they can't seem to watch this drama in a bigger picture. They hyper focused only on the ML. I don't even see this amount of intensity towards the emperor and Madam Rong for causing all of this. The Douyin comments under the official drama channel has been a mess the past few days and it is hurting the viewing experience for casual viewers.

Because yes, if Jiang Ci wanted to poison that man, he would be dead by now.
