King is Not Easy Episode 15 Recap
> King is Not Easy Recap
Da Xi has always been puzzled by one thing: why does Ni Shang always feel that Ji Man is biased against her? Ji Man then explained the matter in detail. It turned out that he would conduct a test on every concubine he took. That day, he pretended that there were rebel soldiers invading and wanted to take Ni Shang away, but Ni Shang actually ran away by herself, which caused Ji Man and Da Xi to switch bodies.
As for why there is such a test, it has to start from that year. When Ji Man was sixteen years old, he was taken to a brothel by the regent. Under the regent's arrangement, Ji Man fell in love with a brothel woman named Ru Mei at first sight. Ji Man's love sprouted, and the next day, he ran to the Empress Dowager and said that he wanted to take a concubine.
After learning of Ru Mei's identity, the Empress Dowager did not show disgust or opposition, but just told Ji Man that this brothel woman had seen countless people and was very thoughtful, so Ji Man must not be deceived. Ji Man confidently stated that he and Ru Mei were in love with each other. Ji Man ran to the brothel to tell Ru Mei that his family had gone bankrupt and his father had been hunted down.
He now had nothing, but he would definitely redeem Ru Mei. Ji Man naively thought that Ru Mei would definitely leave with him. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, when he came to redeem Ru Mei with money, Ru Mei had already hooked up with a wealthy Young Master Wang. Ji Man pulled Ru Mei outside the door and questioned Ru Mei about the reason.
Ru Mei claimed that she had had enough of days without money, and she didn't want to suffer with Ji Man. She wanted to live a wealthy life without worrying about livelihood. Ji Man was completely heartbroken, and left the waist plate representing his identity and left. Seeing the waist plate, Ru Mei realized how stupid she had done, but she had no chance to turn back.
Later, Ji Man never returned to Lechun Garden, and never saw Ru Mei again. The Empress Dowager had told Ji Man that people like Ji Man could not get pure love, because he inherently had too many additional factors. Ji Man always felt that the Empress Dowager's words were too decisive, so he always wanted to find an exception. Ji Man felt that the luckiest thing he had ever done was meeting Da Xi.
While the two were bickering, they encountered the women of the harem coming to pay their respects. Da Xi took the concubines to a palace and told them that in order to reduce the expenses of the harem, Ji Man planned to streamline the number of people. If anyone voluntarily asked to leave, then they could take away all their property.
However, these women were nominally Ji Man's women, and they enjoyed a life of unearned income in the palace and did not want to leave at all. Shen Jia knew that these women were difficult to deal with and asked Da Xi if she needed to report the situation to the King. Da Xi refused, she confidently said that within three days, she would definitely make these people leave voluntarily.
Consort Jin secretly met with her lover and was caught by Da Xi on the spot. She ordered people to take the adulterer away, leaving a bottle of medicine, and asked Consort Jin to end her life by herself. Consort Yin used carrier pigeons to transport property outside the palace for resale and was caught by Da Xi red-handed. Both the person and the stolen goods were seized, and she was thrown into prison.
With the examples of Consort Jin and Consort Yin in front, Consort Tong and Consort Mu took the initiative to resign early the next morning. Ji Man agreed and sent Shen Jia to prepare luggage for the two to leave. Shen Jia also fed Consort Jin the antidote and was released from the palace. Ji Man was gracious and even bestowed a marriage between Consort Jin and her lover. Consort Yin was also arranged to leave the palace.
From then on, the harem was clean. As for how outsiders talked about Da Xi, Da Xi didn't care at all. So what if she was jealous? She just didn't want others to surround her man. Ji Man also guaranteed to Da Xi that he would never take any more concubines into the harem.
