marycrawfordOkay, so I know I said that I understood everyone (who is related to the Emperor) in Nirvana in Fire is called Xiao, and it's not a diminutive but a family name?
Yes, well.
When Mei Changsu is yelling after Prince Jing and calling him "Xiao Jingyan" not once but twice, in the most emotionally charged way possible, IN THE SNOW, I may forget about these things.
I know, I know, it makes sense that he's not actually calling him by an affectionate diminutive in this scene, because it would blow his cover to kingdom come, but still! I have been TRAINED (by Shen Wei) to respond to people being called 'xiao' in emotionally charged moments!
Also:
the cutting of the bell rope, OMG ;__; So beautiful, so sad, the angst, the pain!
This episode (ep 33) was entirely made of knives. And yes, also duck soup for poor prince Jing, but it was all beak and no meat.*
*because of the knives. I'm sure Consort Jing's actual soup was lovely, because that lady can do no wrong.
Yes, well.
