Tell me, Your Majesty... Who am I? You’re my wife, the empress, mother of the Qing empire. Yes, I am the empress of this nation. Since the day I was granted with this title, I have served the Empress Dowager well, treated Your Majesty with honour and respect, been kind and magnanimous to the other imperial concubines. I handle matters with care and caution, afraid that the whole nation would denounce me if I were to make a single misstep. I have been upright and virtuous, [because I was] afraid that Your Majesty would loathe and abandon me. I don’t harbour resentment, jealousy or even hatred. I managed the imperial concubines on your behalf and even treated their children as my own. But Your Majesty... what have I gained in return? - The Story of Yanxi Palace. Check out my video on whether the Story of Yanxi Palace is worth watching.
