The Emperor has no heir and the rising power in the forbidden city are the Eunuchs. Are they really who he should be turning to for advice?
Liked the peacock-sheep image. Very Herodotus.

this explains why Hongxi is too embarrased to have me over for the New Year party, he clearly hasn't been eating the peaches I send him ... I think he needs some maternal advice on what to do and when ...

Sounds like some fun is being had. I mean, the rudeness of some soldiers just blundering around the tourist beaches!
Having just gotten DW finding this very interesting.
<Shudders>
Given the Queen Mother's track record, I fear that Hongxi will actively seek to join the Eunuchs after her 'instruction'...
By the way, stnylan, good to see you! Hope life is treating you well!
Haha! Very funny update! The Queen is a wee bit scrambled in the head, methinks!
Well... The Queen Mum is getting testy, and she's taking it out on the peasantry - or whoever else gets in her way. I wonder what she'll do once the full realization of her unwantedness dawns...
Her obtuseness is only matched by her obstinacy. I shudder to think of what will happen when she becomes enlightened!
Hmm, with the peacock experiments on sheep and swimming, I think we can add "mad scientist" to her resume...
See immortality sends you bonkers?
The event text says "The Succession is Safe". Personally, I have my doubts
Okay, that heir is just a little bit suspicious right now.
Loved your interpretation of "Jade Seal".
At least the bureaucrats are useful now that you're discovering techs that allow buildings.
Erm, Harry's taking a more hands-on approach in shaping the narrative (yes, I realize 'hands-on' is not entirely anatomatically accurate, but - ew - certain things need to remain unsaid).
Having an heir might be preferable to a disputed succession, though in this particular instance I'm not yet convinced.
PS: What's the Chinese equivalent of 'Damien'?
These people will do anything to grab my peaches
