FYI, even though Maomao refers to them as her sisters, they raised her from an infant. Even though they like to act as sisters, their love for Maomao is more akin to motherly love. Getting her ready for the palace is like the joy a mother might have watching their child graduate.
Maomao has achieved the best case scenario in the eyes of a courtesan. They are extremely happy considering they treat her as a little sister or daughter.
Yes, especially Pairin since she literally breastfed her (she lactates naturally). And Meimei SPOILER AHEAD for Maomao being the child of man she loves.
@@Shinekage SPOILERS IG wait, who does meimei love?? im on a book 6 and i thought she just felt responsible for maomao(and loves her obviously) and didnt view lakan as bad as maomao does because she saw fengxian and lakan's situation first hand upd: nevermind guess I just needed to read book 6
"Court Lady' in ancient chinese stands for Lady with 'Titles'. For Jinshi a Man with statues in the empire, he can't marry a commoner. I think Jinshi intent to somehow promote MaoMao status so he can offically claim her as his bride
@@dianrongyu1326 spoiler That doesn’t really matter. If she’s the daughter of a courtesan, it’s doubtful that she’ll ever be recognized as his daughter.
@@coltonwilliams4153 Spoiler He marries her mom though..He buys her out which makes her his wife..I think that should legitimize her..But tbh, it doesn’t really matter..For one, the Ma clan is already seen as a family of eccentrics, no one would really be surprised if one of them does something out of the norm land Lakan already heads it, if he recognizes her as his daughter, that should be enough to legitimize her. Second, I don’t think Jinshi really cares about her status. He’d marry her even if she was just a lowly maid. If you’re concerned about his status, he doesn’t really care much about being the royal heir either. He just wants to live a peaceful life, hopefully with Maomao. If anything, I think he’s more concerned with how Maomao sees their gap in status, and I think he wants to lessen that gap between them. But given who he is now, even if Maomao does become a court lady, there would still be a large gap between them in status. Maybe he just feels Maomao’s abilities and intelligence is more suited for more intellectual work?
@@dianrongyu1326 That’s what I thought about when he started pushing for her to be a court lady. He’s less interested in any kind of status that she can get and more interested in how it’ll help her. More than a few of the problems that she faced while doing her job in the rear palace was because of her status. He wouldn’t have hesitated to help her deal with any roadblocks from stubborn ladies in waiting if she had asked, but she obviously doesn’t want to rely on him too much. So the best compromise he could get was to elevate her title and use that to pry open doors. Plus, she could probably use the title to get medical education and become a full doctor, helping her further.
Was so mad Jinshi caught himself when he was about to call her pretty/beautiful. And she's none-the-wiser. Kinda crazy that he thought she would pass the exam of being a court lady lol when she has never expressed an interest in anything else than her poisons, exhibit A: being her arm. Lmao so when Jinshi's helper called her Xiaomao, only Gaoshun has called her that up until now. So that's why he looked away when she looked up at him. They have a funny relationship.
I think he figured that, because she shows off such easy intelligence when deducing incidents and medicines, then the court lady test would come easy to her. He forgot to account for the fact that she is almost literally a cat, and refuses to do anything if she isn’t properly motivated.
@@coltonwilliams4153 What are the chances she failed the test on purpose? Because as you said, being a court lady wouldn´t help her with making poisons.
@@johnyshadow This is a spoiler.......... . . . . . . .. … ....Not outright spoiler but shows the direction going forward..... . . . . . ..you have been warned..... . . . . . . . . . . Maomao need to enter a specific institute to continue doing medicine. You can see she is called an apothecary not a herbal doctor...i.e. she can only handle flowers and plants.

There is a reason why Jinshi thinks he is just above average compared to normal person. The gap between a normal and unique one here is like heaven and earth. For example, for those who know Maomao, they rely on her wisdom in medicine and poison. Even the emperor himself did believe she could cure Lady Lihua. Even the resident doctor could not cure her whom we can assume have more knowledge compared to normal person when it comes to medicine. Intellect wise, that person with a monocle/single eyeglass is someone whom the emperor respects when it comes to intelligence whom Jinshi would not even compare. Remember that this is the emperor who abolished the slave system in his time. It requires more than above average to impress him, like a typical Asian Dad.
I looked up Court Lady in china and apparently it’s a very high honor. Also known as lady’s in waiting they were TECHNICALLY part of the emperors harem but a lot of the time they just had duties like Nannies for imperial children, tutoring, maids etc. essentially they were the ones in charge of a lot of domestic stuff and all had the possibility of being promoted to either a concubine OR even becoming the EMPRESS.
And Jinshi immediately guessed that, so he said no. Plus, he doesn’t want her to be living in a stable, especially if he intends on her being a court lady.
Not live in the stable. She wants a room with a stable or close to one. I think she wants to use the stable as her workshop. She can't do her experiments in her room >_
A "Court Lady" sounds more akin to a Government official or an official's assistant like a secretary than a rear palace "Courtesan". So yeah Maomao wouldn't really be interested in the politics of society from that standpoint.
Yeah, joining the civil service. And this show is set in Store-Brand Imperial China, so if it’s anything like the examinations for _their_ bureaucracy, she’d probably have to memorize a ton of nonsense about Store-Brand Confucianism. That’s not Maomao’s speed. She’s an “F in literature, A in biology” kinda girl.
I imagine that if she put her mind to it, she’d have passed, but she’s a cat, and Jinshi didn’t present proper motivation. So, yeah. She failed. But I doubt Jinshi was all that interested in using her for normal bureaucratic work. What he was looking for was the status and clout that came with the job. With the title, it would’ve been easier for Maomao to do work as Jinshi’s fixer and medical investigator. Nobody’s going to take the questions and word of a commoner serving girl seriously. But a court lady on official business would be a lot harder to ignore.
a nice set-up episode to get us into the outer court, there were some interesting phrases, looks, and characters that make me feel that she's in more danger here than in the inner palace (how Jinshi is keeping her close and in his quarters makes sense with that take). Gonna miss our concubines though! (19:53) y'all egging Adorkable on😂 lol
@cocobelle25 without spoiling it il say they will be seen again but it will take a unique situation for it to happen however i will not specify on what that event entails partly because it actually already is kind of shown if you know where to look
Many missed the implication when she said to the lady that wack her in the head near the military buildings smell of sandalwood and some bitter smell. My wife right away knew what it meant. Sandalwood is a predominantly male fragrance and bitterness is of sweat and $ex. She was also coming from the military area were al the men are…. I’m sure she knows that particular smells from her “sisters” working in the pleasure house.
I'm calling it right now. The tall lady is actually a military dude in disguise that was sent by the emperor or someone else to keep an eye on the outer court or something. That would explain the ridiculous height, nonexistent chest, the smell, and why she was so close to the military area. She or rather he was on their way back to the military area to tell whoever their working for what they found out today. But then they saw Maomao and had to switch up what they were doing to keep from being suspicious. Since as far as I can guess there would be no reason for a women to go to the military area so it would seem really suspicious if Maomao saw them go in there.
Oh that's a good one. I'm going on this anime blind. Usually I read the "book" source or manhwa/manga but I really wanna enjoy this as is. I never thought of that. The sandalwood comment did bring me back to the military episode which I thought was still unsolved
Court ladies are a level above attendants/servants. Court ladies are assigned to be in the inner court as they described where they are exclusive to whoever noble they are assigned to. They are like secretaries that tends to their master's home property. Think of like eunichs are exclusive secretarial servants of the king that attend to his needs and demands. Court ladies take care of the nobles and royalty that live in around the inner palace. Even as court ladies, a noble can have multiple, but usually the court lady with the most experience is called the head court lady who oversees the other court ladies to do their duties. They later mentioned court lady education. The inner palace is hard to get into bc they need to see ur background to make sure u can be trusted to tend to nobles and guests in the inner palace. That's why most court ladies are employed thru connections, nobles who are high class have daughters who are given a lot of education growing up to be court ladies. Similar to secretarial duties Ladies who were promoted within from outer court to inner court for outstanding work performance takes longer and are often looked down due to their commoner background
putting Xiao is like saying chan I think. So they are reffering to her as Mao-chan it's informal Gaoshun used to refer to her like that that's why Maomao gave him that look like dude are you responsible for this in a friendly way ofc
So Jinshi didn't want Maomao to be his personal assistant but he wanted her to officially be a court lady and have that title but that flopped so her title when asked is Jinshi's personal assistant 🤣🤣 Apart from not wanting Maomao to blow up a stable from her experiments Im guessing the stables are near the military side the east side that she needs to avoid I think apart from just getting snatched or punished for being in a forbidden area Im sure since Jinshi is involved with the military to an extent so if she doesnt go over that side lesser chance of his secret being blown.
this episode is good. maomao just prove herself that she can be smart and idiot at the same time. and my bet those underwear is for guys based on shape but as for what was used to create, i'll leave it to the imagination 😊😊😊
finally this series is back too! thanks for the video. you will see that this part of the story has various important and interesting moments for the plot. speaking of anime, what do you think about starting the new title: yubisaki to renren (a sign ofaffection)? it's a really good story. I hope you can make a reaction series out of it.
Court Ladies high status, but Maomao not interested. She is ok with low profile. Suiren his lead attendant is keeping an eye on things but seems to approve of Maomao (note Gaoshun shared info about Xiaomao 😺). I think Maomao not being seduced by Jinshi is a big plus for her by Suiren. Given the talent and authorities Head I Lady in Waiting I suspect she will be important character going forward. The tall Court Lady catching Maomao checking out the only herb garden in the outter palace must be foreshadowing.
i dont think so at all, he was definitely wanting to offer her a bigger room showing that she has a choice if she wants but knowing her she doesnt think she would deserve something more. its to show the contrast of how maomao thinks of herself and how jinshi thinks of her.
Y'all can't take everything people say at face value. We have a lot of unreliable narrators in the show because these characters are limited by what they know and their own personal biases. Like how Maomao has a really low opinion of her own attractiveness, but we know she can turn heads if she tried. Likewise, Jinshi thinks he's only slightly above average in terms of intelligence and martial arts... but that's just his own insecurity speaking. That doesn't mean it's true. As evidenced by the fact that he easily beat Basen in a sparring match without breaking a sweat. And he has shown over and over again that he is cunning and clever enough to manipulate people to his advantage. Nothing we've seen of Jinshi so far indicates that he is lacking in wit and physical prowess. But that is how he perceives himself.
No she's not. She's just the current Emperor and former Consort Ah Dou's nanny when they were kids. Then later served as Jinshi's nanny after he's born because the current Emperor trust her that much than other servants.
I think "no stables" means he doesn't want her suddenly taking/wandering off on horseback whenever she likes and making it harder to find her as opposed to just her wandering off on foot.

So Jinshi didn't want Maomao to be his personal assistant but he wanted her to officially be a court lady and have that title but that flopped so her title when asked is Jinshi's personal assistant 🤣🤣 Apart from not wanting Maomao to blow up a stable from her experiments Im guessing the stables are near the military side the east side that she needs to avoid I think apart from just getting snatched or punished for being in a forbidden area Im sure since Jinshi is involved with the military to an extent so if she doesnt go over that side lesser chance of his secret being blown.
0:38 And he got it completely correct...
Note Maomao is a GO player from Episode 12 and this guy as well. He also knows about Verdiges (spelling?) Brothel.
Opps the GO player was not Maomao.
this episode is good. maomao just prove herself that she can be smart and idiot at the same time. and my bet those underwear is for guys based on shape but as for what was used to create, i'll leave it to the imagination 😊😊😊
She will be an attendant to Jinshi sort of like a Lady in Waiting.
finally this series is back too! thanks for the video. you will see that this part of the story has various important and interesting moments for the plot. speaking of anime, what do you think about starting the new title: yubisaki to renren (a sign ofaffection)? it's a really good story. I hope you can make a reaction series out of it.
Stables and well her source of good, dry store herbs, and experiment space.
She’s returning as his servant and since she didn’t pass the test so she continues to be his servant.
Court Ladies high status, but Maomao not interested. She is ok with low profile. Suiren his lead attendant is keeping an eye on things but seems to approve of Maomao (note Gaoshun shared info about Xiaomao 😺). I think Maomao not being seduced by Jinshi is a big plus for her by Suiren.
Given the talent and authorities Head I Lady in Waiting I suspect she will be important character going forward.
The tall Court Lady catching Maomao checking out the only herb garden in the outter palace must be foreshadowing.
This manga was amazing can't wait till they find out who's who!
Thanks for this!
Maomao is very heavily aro-ace coded and just wants to be a poison girl playing with her poisons. And I think we should respect that.
9:44 She kinda bad tho. Is that Lihua?
Do you plan to react on Chained Soldier as well? Censoring the images ofc😅
There was nothing to censor.
@@zam023on the first episode yes. The ones that are coming though😅
If Jinshi has royal blood he is expected to greater than all men. Not merely better than average. He is so insecure.
I fell that when he asked her if she wanted it to change room he was inviting her to his room but I may be wrong. :)
i dont think so at all, he was definitely wanting to offer her a bigger room showing that she has a choice if she wants but knowing her she doesnt think she would deserve something more. its to show the contrast of how maomao thinks of herself and how jinshi thinks of her.
9:45 😂😂😂
Y'all can't take everything people say at face value. We have a lot of unreliable narrators in the show because these characters are limited by what they know and their own personal biases. Like how Maomao has a really low opinion of her own attractiveness, but we know she can turn heads if she tried. Likewise, Jinshi thinks he's only slightly above average in terms of intelligence and martial arts... but that's just his own insecurity speaking. That doesn't mean it's true. As evidenced by the fact that he easily beat Basen in a sparring match without breaking a sweat. And he has shown over and over again that he is cunning and clever enough to manipulate people to his advantage. Nothing we've seen of Jinshi so far indicates that he is lacking in wit and physical prowess. But that is how he perceives himself.
Thanks for your take as well
Haha lol
Please i hope you react to dark gathering
Can't wait to see lakan next ep
i cant wait to see how that game between him and mao go its going to be fun
Spoiler:
the maid Suiren is Jinshi's grandma.
omg thats so funny i called it.... i was like either its a family member or something along lines
No she's not. She's just the current Emperor and former Consort Ah Dou's nanny when they were kids. Then later served as Jinshi's nanny after he's born because the current Emperor trust her that much than other servants.
@@raymondpoh3302 vol. 12 WN revealed she is the mother of Adou - biological
back to called it. lol@@silongbalay820
Have you reacted to ' Kono oto tomare ' anime
I think "no stables" means he doesn't want her suddenly taking/wandering off on horseback whenever she likes and making it harder to find her as opposed to just her wandering off on foot.
Naw, he’s trying to get her to work as a court lady and she wants to live in a barn? It would be bad for public image lol for her and him.
