@@goonjent9557 Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace

She broke custom. You can only cut hair during certain periods or time in the palace. Which is ironic cause he broke custom and went on adventures even though he already had plenty of women...

What is the name of the movie

@@keka1330 ruyu’s royal love in the palace. On viki at the moment. Perhaps Amazon prime?

@@kristinesharp6286 Her clan cuts their hair to mourn though, so she isn't exactly breaking custom here. She's mourning the loss of the man she once cared for, ending their relationship indefinitely.

@@ohia_lehua she is wishing him dead.

I agree, such a great comment, just what I was thinking while watching. She is hardly ever cruel in the series save for a few moments of extreme grief or suffering at the hands of unthink cruelty.

When you are all the time correct and try to save the name of the kingdom you have to be strict and avoid scandals.

Many great women in history like Ruyi were commended for their grace and dedication but tragically neglected or disrespected by their husbands and lords.

I'd love to have an attitude like that😐

Excellent example of a good wife.

What i like the most about this is that she never forgives the emperor. And he is left with his regret. The irony is that what she said was entirely true. When the woman is alive he lwys find faults but when she is dead suddenly she was the best person for him

@ ula-nara

It's not only ruyi's clan, it's a manchou tradition to never cut their hair unless the emperor or the empress dowager die.

Orrr it can be like 'you are dead to me' and 'I refuse to acknowledge you exist'

@Neko Senpai KZfaq in parts or Amazon prime

Ruyi isnt poor she is brave to tell the truth to a basta... who tells himself an emperor but lacks in all quality himself and defamed his empress too who would want such a husband in any way .

SPOILER - and did the self same thing with her after her death.

@@troublemcallister730 Ruyi was his only true love. After her death, he never took another consort or empress, and even went into the afterlife to her.

@@troublemcallister730 he treated her the same her death was a tragedy he held onto but he made no effort to hold onto her affection.

@@herdmentality1894 - Completely and utterly agree. I really don't agree with people who've said to me 'oh this is such a beautiful love story', 'it's a love story of the ages'.....NO, it's an emperror who treated the woman he loved worse than most people would treat a dog.

@@becka5378 - don't really agree. He treated her appallingly when alive. When she died - after he went around telling everyone she'd gone mad because he didn't want them to know she'd divorced him and basically put her under house arrest - he then acted as he had with his first empress; held her up as almost a saint and behaved like he'd lost the LohL.....but in reality, just as he had with his first empress, he treated her badly when alive then acted like he'd lost a saint when she died. I didn't like him and certainly didn't think their story was that romantic. However, this dramatization is the best and the one I thought was the most 'factual' (as much as historical dramas can be).

You are right

To add insult to injury Ruyi is the only one in the whole series that I have seen him slap not once but twice. I mean he did hit Consort Ling but that was only after He found out all the despicable treacherous things that she did and even that was like just a push.

Is she leave the palace or they just divorce for emotional connection only?

@@miyuryuu7260 kinda divorce. She didn't leave the palace. Its like she gave up on being his wife. She was stripped off of her title as empress but continued to live in the palace.

She was put under house arrest "because she was mad", and allowed no visitors for years.

@@miyuryuu7260 he kept her in the "cold palace" until all the wrongdoings were sorted out (everyone that schemed against her was figured out and punished), but when he went back to reconcile, she passed away. Afterwards, he never took another consort or empress, pretty sure he sent the others away as well, and went into the afterlife to her (keeping the plant she had and the lock of hair).

Mitt and Mary She would not be allowed to leave the palace without emperor's permission. But the emperor confined her to her palace.

In Real history the emperor only loved his first empress, they married when both were 16 and he When she died, he never approached the consorts, he was very affected and wrote poems to her every day for the rest of his life. Ruyi's serie is very fake based on history. Yanxi palace's more truth about the first empress because she was a very good woman and in this series yhey put her like a witch when she was humble, good and beautiful. This emperor treat her enpress very well historically

@@joanthemadxxxxxx1832 oh I know its pure fantasy but I still stand by my comment. Men are so surprising when they push a woman past her breaking point and the woman does something about it

@@tinachandler3091 i agree with you, but they portrait this emperor so bad when he was very sweet and caring with his empress. But yes i agree with you

@@joanthemadxxxxxx1832 RelaXxX, do you know how many dramas movies and adaptations they have of this Emperor, and his whole family. Do you know this man in real life? No! you only know what they tell you about these people of the past. Just Relax and Enjoy the show instead of taking it so serious.

@@Muddas05 im relax lol, i was talking with her nicely 😅😂😂

Agree ❗️That is a brilliant moment. I wonder if he feared she would kill herself. Her action is worse: she repudiates him.

The fear was priceless and well deserved! He has a whole harem to play brothel with safely. He doesn't need to ruin his reputation, the people could hate them all if he we're to do that.

The emperor in this drama was utterly DISGUSTING...Ruyi had way more patience than I would've had. I couldn't stop at cutting my hair...the emperor needed his whole ass beat😒

@@jazzee87 lol Lmmm

M M

Can you please tell me where I can watch this drama series?

@@AR-lw4hw It's on here if you search it up, Netflix, Viki, Tecent Video

Nope, she reached her bullshit capacity and SNAPPED, there's a difference

The audacity of some men...

Well, considering to customs at the time. She would most definetly be considered crazy.

I mean that’s what guys still say to this day when they messed a girl that loved them. O she was crazy like he had no spot in the scene

Historically men have always called women crazy for reacting to their bullshit especially when it becomes too much to bare. I wasn't surprised when he said that even .

Those ladies weren’t even part of the imperial harem. They were commoners, “entertainers” brought by a scheming concubine to tempt the emperor. Such behavior is against the rules, and Ruyi was trying to convince the emperor of this.

But the emperor was too arrogant and prideful to listen.

To be fair, the show is historical fiction. He was one of the longest running emperors in history. She also was his second Empress. It's funny how in other Ming Dynasty dramas, her character is a villain.

@@rimun5235 She probably wasn't truly this virtuous in real life, but Qianlong's rule was plagued with corruption because he favored sycophants over those who would speak harsh truths for the benefit of the empire. His rule was marked with being the most prosperous in the beginning, but the fall of the dynasty started with his reign because that was when conditions started to deteriorate, and the seeds of it became so deeply rooted that his descendants were unable to salvage the empire's former glory. Ulanara was also a bit of a mystery because a lot of what happened, particularly surrounding the cutting of her hair, was covered up, suggesting that whatever transpired was potentially very embarrassing for the emperor. I wouldn't be surprised if historically he had been the true villain all along, just like in the drama. He probably didn't flirt with prostitutes, exactly, but he had to have done something pretty atrocious, because if the Empress were the one in the wrong, he could have just fired her with full justifications, rather than what he actually did, which was try to pretend she didn't exist and kind of ignoring her until she died, then erasing all records of her that he could get away with. He didn't even falsify things to say that she was a horrible Empress etc etc, he just whited everything out and pretended there was nothing to explain, leaving her character up to interpretation.

@@Yidenia I enjoyed reading you informative and insightful post just now. Thank you! I feel inspired to learn more about the actual history of Chinese dynasties.

How did she mess up? What did she do?

@@Liawino Because she loves and supports her father seeing him this broken after Ruyi cut her hair and seeing Lingfei rise up the rank makes her realize she just helped set another person on the path to be empress which she didn't want. She hated Ruyi because of her own mother's brainwashing and the fact that Ruyi became the 2nd Empress.

Z

@@107thomas3 She hated Ruyi because she blamed her for every small setback in her life, such as not allowing her to become a concubine, her not being able to raise her own children, for not telling her about the pregnancy tonic, her two sons dying ect.. She wanted Ruyi's power and position, and blamed her along the entire way for her personal setbacks which were not even Ruyi's doing, causing her to always target and scheme against her more.

@@myrtlesnow2397 you’re talking about Consort Ling, not Princess Hejing

Her name is Zhou Xun who is a famous actress in China.

They didn't divorces official, they separate ,he put in detention until 6 months before she die,but she didn't want to go out,see others,and refuse to receive the tittle and money.

I think she had a good reason to cut her hair, but because the "reputation" of the imperial family they couldn't reveal the exact cause.

The way I interpreted it from the historical record was that she did it in sort-of public - when he and the harem were all at a meal. Though as you said, the reason was never given. While I love LOVE Zhou Xu's performance in this series, it's about the only thing I love about it - even in this striking scene, they had to have Concubine Ling being exposition girl, with her "but us Manchu people don't cut our hair unless we're mourning!", like seriously? Who are you talking to, girl? The two people in the room with you know this. In the Story of Yanxi Palace, the same scene was handled differently - while I'm not a fan of the characterisation of UlaNara there, the scene with the hair cutting was kind of better - I didn't know anything about the hair-cutting taboo of Manchurians, but I understood how it was a big deal, with the way everyone around her recoiled and looked horrified when she did it. I certainly didn't need someone piping up with an explanation!

Dude she was completely erased.

The drama like many Chinese historical dramas is historical fiction. They are fun, involve characters that were real but the stories often are not.

@@gwenivercall I don't think the line was merely exposition. they made Ling say the line about Manchu people only cutting their hair in mourning to show her scheming nature. cus Ling was trying to portray Ruyi cutting her hair as cursing the emperor to death. she says in the next line "but you're still alive!"

Exactly it is so iconic and the farewell scene where they meet for the last time.

but cutting the hair in ancient China is the same as cutting the head, so it needs some background information to be able to understand that scene.

Cutting of hair was only allowed when the emperor dies. Any other time especially for a wife of an emperor is punishable by death

Pulled a Mulan! Haha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That was a cool way to. Phrase it. BTW I thought it too hence can to watch the video.

She basically said "You are dead to me." So , it's no less badass .

It says she cut her hair. She cut her hair...

You’re commenting quite a bit from this position- that Ruyi should have forgiven Hongli, again and again, just one more time. She has forgiven him. Multiple times! This series takes place over several decades. Through the lies against the empress, both of them, through the defamation and deliberate rumours, Ruyi’s years of imprisonment in the Cold Palace for a crime she didn’t commit, the murders of children, both hers and his, the torture of the innocent Suixian, her gentle maid servant, and the humiliation, castration, then torture and death of the loyal guard, Ling Yuche. This emperor, the character of course, was in the middle of her rape and the only thing that stopped him was his blaming her for ruining his arousal! Sweet heavens, what do you consider enough for a wife to suffer through and tolerate? How far did he have to go before you believe his wife should have left him? Or, since she cannot leave in this circumstance, should have stopped having faith in him?

Say that louder for the people in the back! 😄

Not just a woman but a man too.

If you are going to put the blame on someone is his momma for not raising him right to respect his spouse, do his idea was that everything was ok because she let him do what he wanted when growing up, he is a victim too

At some point the victim becomes the abuser. In the early stages of their royal relationship, his mother is still basically ruling the empire. When he learns how to ‘hardens his wings’, that was when he was making his own choices, stepping from underneath his mother’s and father’s shadow. It worked, for a time. After that point, all choices and responsibilities were his… I want to know this story from his perspective, though. We’ve seen Empress Ruyi’s, seen Wei Yanwan’s- what does Hongli think happened?

And boy, he knew he screwed up to the point of no return. After her death, he regretted everything that he did to the one person who loved him with all her heart with no inclination of wealth or status. The only things she left for the emperor was the withered green plum tree and the destroyed portrait of them in their royal array. Those two items are a reminder to him that it wasn’t wealth or status that interested Ruyi, but the love of the person who loved her unconditionally.

Which is why why Consort Heilan remqined her closest friend and friend refused to vie for Ruyi's position and cautioned her son to be close, loyal and supportive of ALL his royal siblings anf not covet being emperor. She knew it was really the only way to even hope to survive.

Is she leaving the palace or just banished to cold palace?

No seas grosera

Eso no es grosero

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo es un egoísta que no tiene sentimientos por nada 💜 más que por el mismo 😥😥😥

La vida de emperador lo volvió asi según leí esa época el emperador era una figura casi divina por así decirlo, no se relacionaba mucho con la gente salvo los eunucos y una que otra chica del harem supongo que al ser así inevitablemente se volvió orgulloso y narcisista imagínate una vida en la que toooodos hacen lo que tú quieres, te "aman", te adulan, una vida en la que eres el centro del mundo por supuesto que debía de tener el ego por las nubes, por otro lado debía de ser una vida solitaria ya que todos a su alrededor esperaban algo de el no lo buscaban de verdad por lo que era sino por lo que tenía. La escena con las bailarinas era comprensible el men solo quería sentirse normal por un día solo que ser emperador no se lo permitia, asimismo no justifica que hubiera despreciado a Ruyi

@@maritzanarvaez5099 es verdad lo que dices, y el poder cambia a las personas. Aquí de lo que se trata es que él, siempre que convino a sus intereses y su posición, sacrifico a Ruyi y su bienestar, alegando que era necesario. Pero cuando se le alborotaba la hormona rápido olvidaba su posición y sus obligaciones! Las cosas que ella tuvo que padecer en favor de él no tienen nombre, en cambio él siempre tomó y exigió sin dar nada. Que él diga que volviendola emperatriz había saldado la deuda es una estupidez, porque él sabía que ella nunca quiso serlo, pero lo aceptó UNA VEZ MÁS para darle gusto. Todo en nombre de un amor que sabía recibir pero no dar.
