From what I read here, he had his servant use a needle to suppress her skills.

At the beginning of ep. 3 we have Jinghe drunk painting a picture of a woman, back towards us, reaching towards a branch with blossoms. She has a dress with blue patterns and a white shawl. Someone grabs his hand and he responds, "Beauty" tries to kiss the hand. I wondered who the woman in the painting was. But 'Beauty' would indicate that it was Mei Lin and the kiss shows that by ep. 3, he had feelings for her, More than the gossip and our understanding of the character would indicate.

I find it interesting that four days after this drama finished, the comment section is still quite active. There is a divide on the ending, the storyline and that ending. Quite a number of recent comments express hesitation to continue or the watch the end. And others comment on feeling bored. Is this par for the course in other dramas with SE or OE?

I believe that she sees that Yue Qin is good for his country and also for the stable relationship between the two kingdoms. That he is at risk if she abandons him at that point locks her in. Yue Qin introduced agricultural information from Yan and backed the trade between the two countries as a source of revenue. Food for the bellies and money to run the government. Unfortunately Xiyan was run by a warmongering fool and a self absorbed idiot. We see fools like that in many countries throughout history. A What If is that had she kept her martial arts skills, she could have taken out that General and perhaps even that King, saving countless innocent lives on both sides. She is kind of sidelined for the last few episodes.

We seem to comment about different things which is good. I think that I will comment about scenes that moved me greatly because that is why I watch these dramas. Thank you.

Thank you.

Mei Lin and Jinghe crawling on broken legs were kindred spirits forged from the same metal. Gen Jing of the Weibei Army started his campaign against the Xiyan in the 14th year of Zhaoming. A year to defeat the Xiyan Army and retake Qingzhou and then 10 years in exile. That should be about year 25, and a year for the events of the drama, Mei Lin dies after that so maybe year 26 or 27. The Emperor abdicated in the 29th year. Emperor Jinghe died in year 10 of the Zhenyuan era. Jinghe outlived Mei Lin by only about 12 or 13 years. Jinghe probably knew at his Mother's funeral that his brother was the agent of framing him for the massacre. Public spectacles and outlandish behavior probably allowed him to live rent free in his brother's mind.

You haven't stated this. So I hate to spoil it more. But in the second episode, around the 31:30 mark something the ML said or how he said it made think about your last scenario but upon re-watching it I didn't get the same feeling. I think that there could be a good reason for this but you have to start watching this to see if my hunch might be right.

You are right. I read I think that it was your your explanation earlier. For me, eye candies are those handsome and often pesky 2MLs that are better looking than the better actor MLs but who are not as attractive. They often get to do sexy things that the often mama loving chaste MLs can't do. lol Can you explain green tea again so I can save it without having to scroll down to look it up again? Thank you.

They might be in the What if world. Qingyan deserved happiness.

Or maybe YueEyeCandyQin. lol Thank you.

They are talking about Gen. Yin's CP, the Emperor's Concubine Yan, Jia's Wei (Big Guy), Jinghe's Qingyan and Gen Yin's Jiang Tu (her subordinate) and I heard the butcher guy. Half of every romantic couple and devoted followers died. I guess you could add Shumo and even Dai to the list people we liked who died.

Not to be confused with Meh Ending. lol

Who Yue Qin?

Yes, the tears come in the middle. Many tears.

Jinghe said that earlier (in the village when Mei Lin asked what kind of would he like wife) that he would seek someone (for a wife) that he didn't like so that he could fearless and selfless in battle. That he didn't chose Luomei indicate that he liked if not guardedly loved her.

True, but it usually ends well.

Apples and oranges. Thank you and take care.

Or end it like Attack On! Princess (2023) where the FL appears before the aged ML just before he dies. We can take comfort that we see both together at the end. But that's one I won't re-watch for a very long time, if ever.

Nanoush; I said before, but there was not a love that blossomed or devotion carried that was not torn in half. Leaving some bravely facing the future consoled by the love they had. But one or two never got over the loss. Watch because it is very good, though bring some tissues.
