Empresses in the Palace ep 13

I really like bestie Meizhuang's practicality and no-nonsense style. Too bad she's definitely gonna die (since her name isn't Zhen Huan). Honestly, she and ZH should be the perfect team: ZH is the right amount of paranoid and distrusting, bestie is more pessimistic and calculating. But I think the flaw is, they're too permissive of each other. I mean, they give advice but aren't adamant and demanding about it. If you're really gonna say you're sisters, BE BOSSY ABOUT IT. smh

Tapping in Ling Rong was smart. I never agreed with them not keeping her close.

Poor Fourth Prince. It's both a terrible idea to get associated with a kid the emperor hates... and I wish Zhen Huan could afford to openly care about him. Seems like a good kid.

ZH loosening up when she thinks no one is watching and being playful with her maid is THE SADDEST THING because you are struck that this is the real her. And she has to hide this person at all times and walk a tightrope in the proper concubine act. Even with Meizhuang she is all politeness, isn't so free & easy.

Meet cute with the real Prince Guo. Except this is a horror story, so no such thing. "You must not tell this to anyone. Otherwise, I'll have no burial ground for my body."

I love the old consort. She just straight up leaves the party all, 'I've seen enough drama in my day. Too tired for all this bullshit.'

If she can see it clearly, why can't the emperor? tbh I think he can too. It just doesnt threaten or affect him so he doesn't care.

Hell workplace dinner where everyone is drinking bored, so they've ganged on someone for entertainment. Everyone is salivating at the spectacle of the protagonist embarassing themselves. So of COURSE protagonist will shock everyone with their Secret Special Skills™. It's a very cliche trope but I think most viewers would have to admit that WE LOVE IT. We all eat this shit up with a spoon.

Ep 14

IM SCREAMING. Hua Fei, I pledge fealty. Marry me. "Consort Fleur, what is the matter with you?" Wavering, coughing, making indigestion faces: "I have no greviance over anything. I lost my composure because I was overcome with emotions watching Lady Sourire's performance." The emperor keeps being like, oh REALLY babe but you're basic. When did you start liking poetry? and babygirl puts her whole pussy into it. 👏👏 Girlboss gaslight gatekeep.

ZH really out here eager to co-parent with Meizhuang and ready to rush back from kissing the emperor's ass. I know she legit was into him (why??) at the start but I feel like reality has set in and she's just playing the part now. She's drawing her and Meizhuang's names together with a heart in her Lisa Frank notebook and planning how to spend their golden years together after they pop out a couple kids.

Hua Fei, the light of my life, breaks down the politics of it all. She's very savvy and will be a near impossible opponent to defeat - unless, of course, you have the protagonist halo. or if bro starts losing battles.

Empress pops in to remind us that being the CFO also sucks. Endless, tireless smiling and benevolence. You can't even throw a coquettish tantrum or two for the luz.

The ghost of the empresses's sister that the emperor loved most lingers yet again. Did the empress kill her sister? The thunder & lightening say yes.

The mess with Ling Rong's dad and the pull of Hua Fei's brother great examples of how the harem struggles aren't really about 'a bunch of sad women fighting over a man'. Being in the harem is entering a circle of power and influence. Yes, the concubines aren't supposed to 'discuss state affairs' but that's a rule made to be circumvented. Pleasing the emperor can make him reward your noble family and factions of the harem are connections within powerful noble families. Because Ling Rong is there, even though the emperor doesn't remember her name she has strings to pull. Whether it works out this time for her, it's a recourse she wouldn't have otherwise. And Meizhuang is able to go straight to the emperor's residence and get an update on the situation and counsel from the head eunuch. They have influence and control beyond what other citizens have.

[of course, we can't forget the prize for this hunger games is the biggest of them all -- NO, not some royal dick, but having your kid be the next emperor. Putting your family in the history books forever as part of the dynasty. Potentially changing history.]

[that's why I don't mentally categorise Story of Yanxi Palace as a harem drama. That's the setting, true, but Yingluo enters of her own will and it's due to her revenge quest. She isn't advocating for or protecting her clan and has zero intent to climb the ladder, but is acting in revenge of her sister, then her sworn sister empress, then her bestie. Then she inadvertently falls in love with her frenemy emperor (of all things!) and wants to accompany him, despite her terror of childbirth. She has no interest in the throne for herself, her clan, or her kids. She's playing the game all the wrong way, because she's not playing it at all - her goals aren't aligned to anyone else's. That is the delight of Yanxi Palace; she's dropped into everyone else's harem drama with a metaphorical sword on her back, the unpredictable engine of chaos in this carefully choreographed dance of waxing and waning power & influence.]

Empress really shows off her skills in this episode. No one actually knows how hard she tried for Ling Rong's dad but she has the position to get away with advocating, without losing much. And she gets their gratitude and steers them towards fighting my gf Hua Fei in her stead. Empress was the biggest winner in this incident.

ZH on her way there, as she expertly manipulates the emperor by commenting on state affairs without actually directly discussing them. She's smart to be hiding the depth of her education and only bringing it out when necessary.

Damn she's really playing the "you're my ✨husband✨" card for all it's worth. And we can see that, for now, it's worth a lot.

The maid making the play for the emperor's interest with the lotus blossoms is the Soon to be Evil half-sister, right?

Did you ever make the post about the apartment attack where Chad wasn't able to hold Tara back?

I hadn't yet, but since you asked...

So, Chad can't or doesn't pull Tara back, and she reaches Quinn's door.

Realistically it just means she would yank open the door and have Quinn's body thrown at her instead of Anika, and she would fall to the floor and have Ghostface like, step over her. But that's no fun. Does it change nothing, or does it change everything? There's so many directions this could go.

Tara yanks open the door and dodges to the side as something flies out the room. Quinn's body.

~ it kind of highlights the dead!quinn thing as being so goddamn stupid because like she was just… lying there, pretending to be dead? like even left her eyes open. smh wild plan. ambitious but stupid. ~

Tara, she's pretty traumatised, her safe space, her home, has been encroached on once again by some fucker in a mask and now they've killed her roommate who she kinda liked. I think she probably experiences some sort of PTSD-rage-blackout for a moment. She tackles the Ghostface.

Ethan-as-Ghostface is neither expecting her to be right there by the door, nor straight up attack him. It takes him so off guard. This is the smallest of them all, the gentle sister, the one so fucked up by what happened she won't even talk about her life before New York. And worse, he can't kill her yet! His father has plans, and those plans now involve Tara being at the shrine with Sam. This entire thing was to scare the sisters, to remind them they're not safe, and take out a few people they care about along the way. It's not quite going to plan.

Ghostface struggles with the girl, and a slice to her side gives him the upper hand to throw her off him. He smashes her head against the floor to daze her, pulls her up, and holds the knife to her throat. Mindy and Chad have helped Anika up, and Sam runs to the kitchen to find a weapon... only to find all their knives are missing. Sam's back in the kitchen doorway when she spots her sister being held at knifepoint.

Ghostface considers his options. He expected them to scatter, to panic. Instead, they're all still here, and he's ever aware that the more time they spend standing next to Quinn's body, the more likely it is that something will go wrong, someone will discover the truth.

He tilts his head to the open door. "One of you will die, one of you can leave." He tilts his head at each of them. Sam, "Eeny". Anika, "Meeny". Mindy, "Miny". Chad, "Moe". He tells Chad "congratulations, you get the chance to live another day." Chad tells him he's good where he is, thanks. Ghostface digs his fingers into Tara's injured side and jostles the knife at her neck, drawing blood. "It wasn't a request, Chad. Unless you're choosing who gets to die? Leave or I'll slit her throat right now."

Sam's strangled cry of his name draws his attention to her. Mindy tells him to just go, Anika nodding all the while. He looks back to Tara, who flicks her eyes to the door and back again. Outnumbered and fearing the consequences, he backs towards the door. Ghostface reminds him to shut it behind him.

After the door is shut, Ghostface walks over to it, his back to the wall, and dragging Tara along with him, to make sure it's shut properly and they won't be disturbed.

"Now, let's have some fun." He throws Tara forward and watches them run.
