Lao Fue Ye or Tai Ho is the emperor's mother. She is a very religious person who prays to the Buddha daily. She is the one that took care of Qing Er when both of her parents dead. When she met Zi Wei and Swallow, she took an immediately dislike to them. Mainly because when she met Zi Wei, and Swallow for the first time, both of them were covered in paint (thanx to Swallow). Their cloth was out of order and Swallow's hat was slanted on her head.

Reasons why Lao Fue Ye dislikes Swallow:

-Talks without approval

-Too loud

-Swallow was a mere peasant before she became a Ge Ge

-Who her parents are is unknown

-Low education. Constantly interprets her words wrong

Reasons why Lao Fue Ye dislikes Zi Wei:

-Her mother is of the "Han" people

-Zi Wei's blood line is mixed

-She is friends with Swallow

There aren't many reasons why Lao Fue Ye dislike Zi Wei, There is really nothing she can dislike about. Lao Fue Yi is a very strict person, who likes Ge Ges that are quite, soft spoken speak only when asked, and?someone likes Qing Er. Swallow obviously does not have any of the qualities mentioned above. (But that is what makes her sweet ^_^)

At the VERY end of the show, Lao Fue Ye finally begun to realize how special Zi Wei a Swallow are. She accepted them as a part of the family.
