Wow apparently I have more than a 100 new subscribers since last episode, so welcome new readers! Doing an episode on the role of women in the court of the Han empire was high on my wish list, but I didn't expect the amount of interesting stories that would arise. I guess that's why 'palace drama' is a whole own genre on Chinese television.
