About Jewelry and Hairpins. Its a sign actually for "This Person is mine" or "don't think about to mess with her" casually explained. I love Maomao, the borderliner xD
ok. explaining the things with the burns. Since episode 3 when the soldier thought he had been cursed, jinshi has been looking for a person with burns which he believes would be a spy passing and receiving secret messages using wooden tablets powdered in colorful burning minerals. he mistakenly thinks that that incident and the attempted poisoning are related. He is wrong as there are actually 4 different and independent intrigues going on in the inner and outer palace. the first concerns the attempted poisoning of consort jinshu and apparent truth of the death of the emperors first son, the second has to do with the reason why the white powder was spread in the palace in the first place and therefore the death of the emperors second son, including the secret message tablets, several of the accidents and murders, the third has to da with jinshis actual rank ant the palaces traditions and laws of succession, and the 4th is about maomaos familie history. only one of the 4 is resolved in the first season.
The first bit I’m fine with but it seems this goes into too much detail to tell someone still experiencing the story for the first time, a lot of it isn’t revealed by episode 6
1:13 Now we know where it went. Remember when in episode 2 a military officer sent buns with aphrodisiac to Jinshi to seduce him? Jinshi pulled a reverse uno card, gave the aphrodisiac made by Maomao to a female palace servant and made her seduce the "woman hating" (gay) military officer as revenge.
Previous Emperor was a pervert and only wanted very young girls so he got Llishua at 9 years old eewwww. The current Emperor as a Prince had Ah-Duo as his only consort when they were about 30 yrs old. When Emperor died his son took Lishua, 9 yr old and widow as his consort. Albeit he has no interest in very young girls. Why he kept Lishua is not evident but Ah-Duo and previous Emperor may have sympathized with Lishua sort of as a daughter(?).

there might also be a plot to kill the emperor as a plan B but im only ahead by about a season equivalent.
