And Shuurei's back!!! I especially love that part when Reishin and Ryuuren went to greet Kokujun, and everyone's like "wow..!"

I was like "Oh crap she broke protocol and started talking business! x_X" during the palace presentation. I think that was highly irregular even now in modern times but hey, whatever works right? XD

I feel weird seeing Ryuuki in his "imperial-cool-and-detached-mode" while treating with Shuurei but common sense dictates that was the proper way to act in the court, I miss seeing him acting restless and lovesick when it concerns Shuurei.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

^I'm pretty sure that's usually considered rude to do in such an event before the emperor, only because I used to watch a lot of historical dramas. I'm surprised they decided to bring it up at such a time. But good thing everything went well, with the support of many others like Hakumei, Kijin, the two other counselors (lol can't remember everyone's names D:)

But still, where's the love for Eigetsu? I mean sure she's the only governor that went to the palace, yet once again, seems like she's the only getting all the credit for that plan, as well as for taking care of the situation in Sa Province. I know she's the main character and all, but I would like it if they didn't glorify her so much it's almost like they're saying, "are you impressed by Shuurei now?"

Very special moment when Shuurei and the emperor first met, awwwww. That was a very intense moment though, between the emperor and Shuurei. I thought he was made at first, about the proposal, then I was like nawww he'll say yes.

I'm very excited to see how the plan works out, or at least I hope we're told what happens with the plan, and their province.

Last episode, legoooo

Another wonderful episode!!!

Yushun and Rin Sai are actually married!?!?!

Rin Sai reminds me of Kochou, mature body and big boobs and all XD

I do feel bad that she only saw her father Shoka for just a minute and didn't even ate for at least an hour or so.

Though Shoka knows she has her government face on and she has a lot of things to do. He probably didn't want to waver her focus for now.

Yeah it was surprising their discussing something on a middle of celebration, but if they want to get everyone's attention while being on the spotlight. Then this is definitely their perfect chance!

Finally Ryuuki and others acknowledge this plan. It might be a too grand for this plan. But amazing plans always start on something new.

Ryuuki couldn't contain seeing Shurei!! Shurei is definitely more beautiful than ever before!!

Sainkoku has a lot of future in store for them!!!

Last episode!! It's almost done T___T

Can't wait for the last episode!!

That aside, I think that scene with Shuurei presenting the reform plans to Ryuuki was nice. I like how it reflects their subordinate-ruler relationship and how they want to really push this proposal through. Though of course it was very reckless to do that because business should not be brought into celebrations (openly). I also enjoy Ryuuki's maturity as an emperor. You could clearly see he wanted to be his usual self with Shuurei and treat her like before, but he didn't, which makes me respect him just a bit more. Though the relative ease that the proposal was accepted for consideration was a bit ridiculous since they broke formalities, and all the councilors suddenly standing up for her was a bit silly too. (Again, she's glorified because she has everyone's full support. It's like the whole imperial court is on her side. Even before, anyone who was against her was automatically evil - that's not how politics is. There should be characters that dislike her and criticize her without having to be a villain...)

Saying that, I don't dislike the show. I just think there are (many) things that could have been done better. I'm glad Shuurei's finally governor and getting some work done though, it's about time.

Yes, I am also quite annoyed at how glorified Shuurei is. I really loved her in the beginning, but the constant praise - praise she doesn't really deserve - is slowly making me... well, not dislike her, that's too strong of a word, but I don't like her as much as I did initially.
