This drama telling whole life of qianlong
This drama is very nice, the details are good, and the timeline is also good, acting good, editing good, Although the timeline is not explained, it is very clear, but some time is a little different from the real history, like:
1.the consort name consort mei,and her son (according to wikipedia)
2.consort jia 9 prince death in history is when he is two years,but in the drama he die when born
3.the die of consort shu
4.In history qianlong 14th son die in 1760 and 16th son in 1765, but in drama they both die together
5.and the last,even hongli said ruyi not care about her empress status so he bury and arrange her funeral lower than her status,but i still it not make a sense

For the first i think this drama is to fast because from eps 1 already tell about the love about hong li and ulanara,but this is long term line drama tell all about qianlong life,so this drama is good, although the drama has a fairly long episode of 87, it isn't boring No extra scene, just right
