Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Episode 9 Recap
> Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Recap
After the grand ceremony, Luo Feifei strolled through the streets with Beitang Yi, still humming "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," marveling at the abundance of stars in the night sky. Beitang Yi sensed she held many secrets he was unaware of, and when he inquired, Luo Feifei expressed her longing for the 21st century. Beitang Yi then asked about a person she frequently mentioned, Jiacheng.
Luo Feifei launched into a lavish description, praising Jiacheng as an incredibly handsome, gentle, considerate, and talented individual, praising him as if he were heavenly. Beitang Yi observed her with a cold gaze. She recounted attending his concerts, prompting Beitang Yi to ask what a concert was. She explained it was a performance where a singer stands on stage while many people in the audience wave glittering fluorescent sticks, creating a beautiful, galaxy-like appearance.
Beitang Yi then asked if he resembled Jiacheng, to which Luo Feifei enthusiastically confirmed, admitting it sometimes made her feel as if Jiacheng was right there with her. She then confessed to missing him dearly, along with her father, phone, computer, and all aspects of her old life, including her friends who used to chase Jiacheng with her. She mused how jealous they would be to know she was with someone who looked like him.
Beitang Yi, seemingly annoyed by her continuous praise, pressed to know if Jiacheng was an emperor too. Luo Feifei brushed off the idea of Jiacheng being an emperor, reiterating his myriad talents in singing, dancing, and acting. Beitang Yi, clearly jealous, firmly told her to only mention him when they were together. As they walked to a pavilion in the center of the street, Beitang Yi held her and was about to kiss her in a 'punishing' manner.
However, a lip balm fell from Luo Feifei's hand and shattered. She picked it up, expressing her regret. Beitang Yi then took the lip balm, applied some to his own lips, appearing charming. Enticed, Luo Feifei immediately puckered her lips, allowing Beitang Yi to kiss her. Just then, a heavy rain began to fall. The officials who had been secretly following them, eager to witness their interaction, rushed to squeeze into the pavilion.
With a display of his powers, Beitang Yi froze the officials in the rain, leaving them drenched, while he and Luo Feifei continued to kiss uninhibited under the shelter. Nearby, Prince Chen stood alone under an umbrella, desolate and not far away, his eyes red. He closed them for a moment, and a single tear traced a path down his cheek.
Later, back in the palace bedchamber, Beitang Yi and Luo Feifei continued their affectionate exchange, gazing deeply into each other's eyes. However, despite Luo Feifei's repeated hints and suggestions, no further intimacy occurred; they simply lay there all night. Frustrated, Luo Feifei inadvertently discovered a book titled "Sex Encyclopedia" under Beitang Yi's pillow. (The subtitles showed a moral text, hinting at comedic irony.
) When Beitang Yi tried to retrieve it, Luo Feifei challenged him, lifting her face and demanding a kiss. Beitang Yi immediately suffered a nosebleed, with blood streaming from both nostrils. Meanwhile, another couple was sharing a sweet moment: Bai Wuchen, a teacher, and General Chu Shengnan, on patrol, exchanged an orange, with Bai Wuchen drawing a smiling face on it with a brush, and Chu Shengnan carving an emoji with a knife.
Their interactions made Bai Wuchen's pageboy, Shang Yu, incredibly envious. Luo Feifei was visibly distressed, deeply troubled that nothing had happened between her and Beitang Yi despite sharing a bed all night. She was so distressed that she even wondered if she had become unattractive. She confided in Beitang Yi, who reassured her that she was not ugly.
She then lamented about their stagnant relationship, questioning if there was something wrong with Beitang Yi's mind or physical health, even offering her medical expertise to cure any ailment. Beitang Yi, finding her long face puzzling after the recent clearing of Ophiuchus's name and her ascension to Star Lord, urged her to be happier.
Luo Feifei revealed her deeper concern: while the wedding date with Prince Chen had been postponed after Prince Chen's discussion with the Grandma-Empress, the matter remained unresolved and had been dragging on. She worried the Grandma-Empress might change her mind. After some thought, Luo Feifei proposed a drastic solution: to have Beitang Yi's baby first. She reasoned that if she presented the Grandma-Empress with a great-grandson, the elder would surely not harm either her great-grandson or herself.
Beitang Yi seemed taken aback by her unconventional strategy. Shang Yu, witnessing Bai Wuchen's budding romance, became curious about love and sought out Su Xunxian, asking to be taken to "gain experience." Su Xunxian, in good spirits, agreed, promising to broaden Shang Yu's horizons that very night, but only after Shang Yu carefully read chapters one to five of the "Sex Encyclopedia."
Elsewhere, Mei Daren, ever the miser, tried to borrow money from Luo Feifei, who, after some humorous banter about the nature of friendship and money, deflected him by giving him a facial mask formula, assuring him he could make a fortune selling it. Grateful, Mei Daren asked how he could repay her.
Luo Feifei seized the opportunity to enlist his help in a scheme: he was to hide under the desk and pretend to be a hooligan, prompting Beitang Yi (referred to as Dragon Egg) to rescue her, after which, she implied, intimacy would naturally follow. Soon after, Beitang Yi arrived, asking if she was looking for him. Luo Feifei, ready for the plan, waited for Mei Daren to make his move, but nothing happened.
It turned out Mei Daren had fallen asleep under the desk. Luo Feifei discreetly nudged him awake, and upon waking, Mei Daren sprang out, startling Beitang Yi, who then proceeded to give Mei Daren a sound beating. Mei Daren fled, running with the table on his head. Later that evening, Su Xunxian took Shang Yu to Hongluan Brothels to broaden his horizons. The madam, Yuanniang, commented on Shang Yu's delicate appearance.
Shang Yu, having read about courtesans in the "Sex Encyclopedia," expressed his desire to meet the best courtesan. Yuanniang and Su Xunxian explained that meeting the top courtesan (Hua Kui Xian) required not only skill in poetry and couplets but also a significant amount of money, which Shang Yu, as a mere attendant, lacked. Shang Yu, knowing Su Xunxian owned the establishment, cleverly asked for free entry.
Su Xunxian playfully chided him for learning impoliteness, much like Beitang Yi, but ultimately agreed to let Yuanniang take him to meet the courtesan. Meanwhile, under the night moon, Tang Wang lay in the courtyard, a gentle smile playing on his lips as he reminisced about every bit of time he spent with Xia Bing.
