So When she tricks the Princess into thing she was pregnant, the princess kills the diagnosing physician and his…
IIUC, Xue Fang Fei gave the “pregnancy” drug to Wan Ning because XFF was being forced to marry Shen Yu Rong and Shen Yu Rong didn’t want to publicly confess that he soiled XFF’s reputation and “killed” her because of his relationship with WN. The “pregnancy” drug was to force SYR and WN to get married (instead of SYR marrying XFF) since SYR and WN were in a sexual relationship, hence SYR had to be the father.
XFF tried the “pregnancy” drug on herself first, so she could understand what the effect would be like on WN. XFF could not foresee what WN would do as a result, i.e., killing the physician and his family. Those were WN’s actions not XFF’s.
XFF was not laughing at what happened to WN and what WN did to the physician. She was laughing because Duke Su diagnosed her (XFF) as being pregnant and he was shocked/upset and demanded to know who the father was. XFF laughed because Duke Su was obviously jealous and couldn’t believe XFF got pregnant while being closely monitored by his subordinates. I don’t think she ever laughed about people being killed. It was WN that had no care for people’s lives other than her own, SYR, and her brother.
Drama was cut short to 40 episodes thus loosing many important details in second half. same thing happened to…
I have not seen the short film for Yanxi Palace, but I did watch the long drama with many episodes. I’ll have to see the short film, is it different from the drama or is it a condensed version of the drama? I wanted WYL and FFH to get together in Yanxi Palace, but I also wanted WYL to get together with Emperor QL, so Royal Feast was nice to have “WYL” and “FFH” paired up!
in my opinion princess wanning didn’t die that easily it was cruel in its own way. In the end she truly realizes…
yes, i agree that princess wan ning got what she deserved...and then some..., realizing that even her brother sold her out (SYR didn't tell her the truth about the real plan). she died alone and by the hands of the one she loved the most. very sad...
i think the jiang family got what they deserved as well. though the stepmom went crazy, she went crazy realizing that she did those horrible things, not just to Jiang Li, but many others and that she is a horrible person. she couldn't deal with that so went crazy. also, i thought they had her stay in the mausoleum instead of a nice house and courtyard? i thought the deal with Consort Li was that Ji Shuran could stay there if Consort Li agreed to not push for the marriage between SYR and XFF? and that the deal fell through when she didn't agree so XFF needed to find another tactic to convince her, i.e., Duke Su capturing the maid Wan Ning was using to threaten Consort Li. the dad was overridden with guilt knowing he caused the death of his real daughter and he needs to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life. XFF as Jiang Li, got rid of the stigma of fratricide, got Jiang Li publicly acknowledged as part of the Jiang family in the coming of age ceremony, and became the most famous daughter of the Jiang family. I don't think XFF ever got her name cleared of her soiled reputation in the drama, but the Emperor did command Duke Su to investigate and I'm sure he would have cleared her name at some point.

oh interesting. thanks for that info. i just finished it and it did feel rushed in the end. everything happened so quickly, but still thought the story was good and the actors did a wonderful job.
I’m enjoying this and on episode 24. Zhan Ji calls out to Zi Jin “A’Li” for the first time!! Zhan Ji is so cute acting all jealous, but still so sweet towards Zi Jin! I haven’t read the reviews but am so far puzzled as to why the ratings are low for this drama…
Gosh, I felt like I was in the Royal Feast drama set as soon as I saw the scenes. It's identical. I'm guessing…
Agree WXY is an excellent actor. I haven’t seen Royal Feast and just noticed it stars WJY! What if WXY and WJY had been paired back then for that?! lol Will have to see that next.
i saw it on dailymotion and they had combined "ep17" with ep16. i didn't know there was an alternate ending until…
Ditto. I’m also fine with either option. It great the ending can have different meanings to different people! I’m looking forward to WXY’s upcoming dramas!
It was a light drama, nothing serious and tons of eating lol, an okay choice to watch in between other dramas.…
i saw it on dailymotion and they had combined "ep17" with ep16. i didn't know there was an alternate ending until i did some research on it. from watching them combined, i interpreted it as the old Emperor Kui imagining what had transpired from reading a book (which i assumed he had written about what could have happened if Xiao Xiao actually didn't choose him). but maybe that is because i can't read what's written on that book he closed. Zhu Shou Kui kicking the two guys from the restaurant seemed too outrageous to be real.
i did enjoy WXY portraying a character different from Duke Su. there were moments when he was serious and i saw him instantly turned into Duke Su'. 😂
Ok…. Obsessed since The Double…. What should I watch next? He’s dreamy
He's the lead in Scent of Time, supporting for Story of Kunning Palace and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love. I think he's great in all of them, but liked that he was a lead in SoT. SoT and SOKP are period dramas if you like those and AASOL is a modern drama.

I’ll watch it next! I’m currently in the middle of Destined. I heard The Glory was gory and violent. Is that true?
