He also took Ah Duo, someone literally his age as consort, companion, and first love. Great job Anshi

@LadyAbbey11

You kinda messed up by not adding that fact that he and Ah dou protected Lishu and made sure that his father never touched her.

@LongLife-g1u

Current emperor is really just a normal cool guy who tries his best for his country... He's also a good father to the little princess. Has good humour and respects the smart people in his courtroom...

Admirable of him to do this, but the big problem is all her ladies-in-waiting bully her

@LucasFleming-lq2ry

Hes a great man in a position where good men die young.

@meteorgameryt

Actually Lishu's mother was a friend of the emperor and ah duo and both see lishu as their own daughter after Lishu's mother passed away. it's crazy to think that the emperor was more fatherly towards linshu than her own biological father.

@dannyeller3018

The emperor genuinely seems like a caring and good-hearted person. He personally sought out help for Lihua when she was sick, he protected Lishu from his creepy father, and also the fact that he kept Ah-Duo around as consort even though she was much older than the other consorts its clear he had genuine affections for her.

@Eydastolzærik

I think the current emperor sees Lishu more as his daughter because of her age and not as his sister. But the point is the same: he kept Lishu by his side as a concubine so that the girl's father wouldn't give her to another old man. But the current emperor only visits Lishu to talk and never touches her.

I also read somewhere that the current emperor is looking for a good partner for Lishu, who might be Basen, but he ordered that the boy must wait until Lishu is legally an adult. I hope this is true and it would show their protective father-daughter relationship even better  ❤

@ArmyTiny-nz8od

Empress Anshi did a great job at raising the new Emperor

@mariapaulamontenegrocarril3912

More than a little sister is implied that like Ah duo, the emperor saw Lishu like a daughter. Because of laws and political things he couldn't adopt her, especially because he couldn't formally marry Ah duo especially after she lost her ability of conceive a heir. So he had to use this method to protect her.

@knowledgeseeker4614

I do like how the current Emperor does his best to be reasonable, but he is forced to make certain decisions.  Later in the story, when Lishu’s maids frame her, he is forced to put her in confinement, but Maomao is allowed to prove Lishu’s innocence.  He’s even fine with Basen proposing to Lishu after her time at a convent is up.

@Pinkbunnyrose2323

This is why I could never see myself in a world of nobles back in the day

@Savagewolver

I love the emperor in this series. Stern, wise, a tiny bit playful,and strongly devout towards his wives and his people.

@TheFarix2723

Until a certain green grimlin showed up and changed things, I feel that the emperor had planned for Lishu to marry Jinshi once Jinshi took on the role of the crown prince. But Jinshi refused the role and instead pretended to be a eunuch after winning a bet.

@lindsaywedeman7945

He is a good emperor. I like how he is protecting her. If he Knew  her ladies in waiting were bullying her he would put a stop to it.

@Cookingbread1111

He actually able to read situation well, remember that one of his harem that act crazy? He knew, that's vwhy he never go to her anymore and easily let her bf get her back

@hollowsoul9870

Women in the present time don't realise how far we have actually came in just less than 100 years .

@rinniebinnie1035

It wasnt rlly rule breaking, it was socially accepted to take in concubines or consorts the previous emperor had when a new one ascends the throne

@Imadeadgoat

I started watching this the other day and I do really like how it’s not shying away from this topics that isn’t the nicest things to think about but it doesn’t glorify or overlook it and it knows it’s bad

@JSY-g4g

I think the emperor and Ah Duo joined forces to protect the little girl. it is shown in the 1st season that Lishu has alot of daughterly affections toward Ah Duo. this could be the very reason why the emperor put her in the rear palace, where he knew that with Ah duos presence she will be taken care of very well. this not just shows the his greatness as a father figure, but also the trust and respect he had for his former consort.
