Episode notes

From teenage concubine to an Empress ruling China, this is episode is about to get a little bit Game of Thrones. Join Mollie and Jorja as they tell the story of Cixi and how she worked her way up the ranks of the Imperial Chinese Harem. 

To some she's a trailblazer that brought change to China, to others she's a cunning murderer. What will you think?
