I'm itching to say this about Xin Yue as Empress. She is really not empress material. In this position you are supposed the lead by example and be a role model. At least empresses in other dramas, they keep their public image clean. How dare she bad-mouth XY like that in public !! She just showed how ugly she is inside. Too bad that CX didn't have a choice in choosing his queen. What a down grade!! Xin Yue as empress is nowhere near the former one who was remembered and praised.
I am looking forward to my next two episodes (8 &9) tomorrow! lol Considering that they started out as friends, Xiao Yao was right to try and put space between her and Xin Yue after all. I wonder if she sensed something before about Xin Yue? She certainly didn't want Cang Xuan to marry her.....In one of my other favourite dramas, Empress Ki, the same thing happens - the Emperor hates his first Empress, whom he is forced to marry. She is a terrible, cruel, vindictive Empress to the harem. What she does is truly evil to the pregnant consort. I think it goes to the lack of love from the Emperor in both dramas; certainly in Xin Yue's case, who went in completely blind to CX's lack of affection for her.
You are right that in every drama, the Empress is supposed to lead by example and be a role model. I am so curious what Xin Yue says about Xaio Yao now! 12 hours to go until it's up on Viki...
