The thing I find most strange about this episode is how inquisitive moamoa is yet she doesn’t question jinshis reaction when she said about the tea making men infertile

It's not always a given that the concubine who gives birth to the first son will be made Empress. Totally agree with ever else though, especially the intricacies of palace intrigue.

The emperor’s brother is currently next in line to the throne because the emperor has no sons. But if any of the emperor’s concubines gives birth to a son, that boy will become the new heir. The concubine who gives birth to the first son will be made Empress. So, the families of each concubine wouldn’t want another to gain the upper hand by giving birth to a son first, which creates fierce competition behind the scenes. Palace drama isn’t as simple as just killing the emperor. His presence is necessary to keep the country stable and to prevent foreign powers from seeing weakness and making a move. Behind the scenes, people use politics and manipulation to gain power before making any move against the emperor. In many palace dramas and in real history, removing heirs or possible successors is often the first step.

Blooming tea is the reason I bought a glass teapot! There’s loads of different flavours and each is as pretty as the next.

sabotages for the throne, for power, back then are crazy when you think about it (from my anime and kdrama knowledge😂)

i think the next in line would be the brother of the emperor if the emperor doesn’t have male heirs. so if the baby in the beginning wouldn’t of died he would of been the next heir to be the emperor and the concubine would of been the empress dowager (i think)
