I don't understand why Huai Gui wants the throne. In that rebellion, it was clear the suspect was from Northern…
I didn't either until the latest episodes clarified that the Li clan elected someone else to succeed Wenxi after the capital fell and he died without an heir. And it makes sense, if Wuyi has surviving half brothers then his own claim to the throne is not straightforward.

This is just my speculation but I think the betrayal of the An and Lu families undermined the power of the nobility in the court. Besides that Consort A was likely also somehow collateral damage in the fallout. She must be his childhood sweetheart. It is impossible to meet an emperor’s consort after she marries into the harem. Maybe she was already pregnant with Ah Mao when she entered the palace. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is related to the Lu clan - maybe it is his mother’s clan. I would add that Consort An should not be Wenxi’s consort but the consort of the current emperor’s late father.
i love that the pacing of the drama is well-balanced. though there were times it got fast, it was for building…
Indeed - there is zero respect for her agency and free will and her parent's right to support her. All these people who don't know her at all think they know better and are more qualified to judge her level of maturity than those who know her best. And she must be a completely brainless and retarded 17 year old to think it is ok to star across a 28 year old! OMG the level of condescension and disrespect for Ai Mi and her family's legally protected right to jointly make these decisions. And this is ongoing despite the fact that the content so far has been beyond safe and chaste, indicating her family and the production put in all the appropriate boundaries and safeguards to protect her.
They are pawns who don't even. know they are pawns.
Yes he knows he was part of the Grand Tutor's scheme to balance Xiao Wuyi and the ED's power. But nonetheless he still thinks he is in control of the chessboard when in reality he is just a pawn.

Yeah his sister has better survival instincts. She realises already that like Changsha wang, he is a target now that he is playing game of thrones and she wants him to have his own army to watch his back.
