| So the fish allergy "poisoning" was solved since the dishes were swapped, but who poisoned the soup? That would have killed everybody that ate it, no? |
| Why Is Lihua's servants loves to pick a fight? They didn't even recognize Maomao until she made that face. lol Watching Maomao taste those foods is funny. She's really funny and interesting. I think wait till there's more episode or all 24 episodes are done before I continue to watch this. Waiting every week is a pain. |

| Thanks for pointing it out. Both names started Li so got confused. |
| Maomao being the awesome woman she is---especially looking extremely gorgeous after swallowing poison lmao! And Jinshi having some secret regarding the new hairpin which Maomao thought actually came from a guy AHAHAHA this show is sooooooo good |
| Maomao is just special. I love her, she has great character and charisma. |

| I know this is like ancient China era but Mother in Law at 9? God damn bruhh Maomao is also masochist herself LMAO But hey they never explained what's the other meaning of giving the hairpin. |
 |
| Damn you basically have to feed Maomao poison if you wanna turn her on. I feel sorry for Jinshi lmao |
| Maomao's pocket warmers may be there, but the weather is still quite cold, as the garden party contravenes in a full audience of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the 4 concubines. Other than the rivalry between various consorts' ladies-in-waiting, the concubines of various ages, espeically the Virtuous Consort of daughter 9-year-old Lishu, being a mother-in-law at that age can only be attributed to politics. Of course, Lihua's servants shriek when Maomao tried to approach them, but Maomao has no less than 1 suitor, such as yhe Officer Lihaku who handed hairpins like it was nothing, and even Lihua who gave Maomao her hairpin. As usual, the apothecary does her job, but only this time, everyone waits on her before they can have their tasting, and indeed, she tasted poison, which signified her delicious taste. This caused a commotion as a minister tried it before she does, and as much as Maomao wanted the poisoned soup for herself, Jinshi would not allow her to do so. Jinshi wanting an investigation, though Maomao wanted Lishu instead, which she instantly found that she was allergic to fishes like mackerel. Luckily, Lishu only got hives, though this is equal to poisoning her, and this is not difficult for Maomao to tell her food taster to look out for Lishu's allergies in the future. Secrets upon secrets, only Maomao knows. |

| Can't believe it took me six episodes to realize Maomao has poison fetish. Maomao x Poison best ship, just like Senkuu x Science and Eren x Moving Forward. So bullying saved (kinda) 14yo concubine's life, huh? Also good thing the previous emperor is dead. Would have been awkward seeing him on-screen while knowing he prefers them at elementary school age. |

I personally prefer to compare MaoMao with Dr. House instead of Sherlock Holmes.
And people thinking they figured out Jinshi are clearly missing some other hints regarding his look.

| @Nachtwandler_21 I don't necessary agree. I mean House and Holmes are bascially same person, but Holmes does calm down with age and there is lot of adaptations where he isn't unhinged in first place. Maomao who not just isn't troublemaker, but actually go as far as possible avoid it is more similiar to later. |

| @Tenzen12 we have not seen some more crazy aspects of her personality yet, though. |
 |
| She wants more poison! Give her soba then. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Don't touch my soup ! |
| The episodes become very short, and this episode, with the tasting of the poison, and the allergy to fish, has passed in a flash! kekeke |
| Ugh a literal child, had a child at the age of 9??? That’s so sick. It’s so funny that Mao Mao goes feral for poisons. She looked like she had an orgasm lmao. She’s truly one of a kind. I wonder why the soup was poisoned, they didn’t really answer that, right? Also the little girl knew she wasn’t supposed to eat fish, but why did she do it anyways? To not be disrespectful? |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| i guess our girl is a little bit of a junkie. i love her. |
  |
| A very exciting whodunit episode. And in the next one Maomao finally gets to see her father again! |
 |
| another amazing episode the previous emperor having a 9-year-old courtesan was quite weird... |
 |
| "BASIC" Seriously? Just when you can't hate localizers enough they throw some idiotic slang into a show set in ancient China. |
| Maomao and poison needa get a room for real |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| I don't fully understand it, but so Gyokuyou and Lishu's food got mixed up? But it wasn't the raw fish and vegetables right, since we did see Lishu eating mackerel? So it's only the soup that got mixed up? But if that were the case, then why did Lishu get mackerel? Didn't the chefs know about it like Maomao said? Did that also get mixed up? |
 |
| Get you a girl who loves you as much as Maomao loves drinking poisons |
Reply to OrielBel
@Tenzen12 Oh so it's a bullying thing? I thought her food tester was trying to kill her but it makes sense that she freaked out when she heard it could've killed her if all she wanted to do was give her a rash.
| @OrielBel She didn't want to give her a rash, she didn't know she was allergic. She probably wanted to humiliate her for being a picky eater |
Reply to toralbabs
How stupid you have to be to feed your master something you know she can't eat? Even if they thought Lishu was being "picky" and wanted to "give her a lesson". Lishu could have ordered the food taster executed for this...
| @toralbabs That's the whole point, she didn't know she physically couldn't eat it |
| Her smirk when she announced that the food was poisonous... so cool |

| I wonder if MaoMao's allergy to buckwheat could end being a problem in the future? Though I'd guess she'd just be able to taste/smell it and spit it out |
| I'm definitely curious as to who poisoned the soup and who exactly was the intended target since supposedly some food dishes were swapped. But regardless they messed up by having Maomao taste it since she immediately identified the poison. |
| Damn idk how to respond the fact that the previous emperor having concubine at that 9 age, and his children took her as his own concubine now. Meanwhile with the current Emperor which the older son of the previous emperor, Ah-Duo was the very first concubine at age 30 of him. But after the arrival of Lishu, she's become the second concubine which makes her as Lishu daughter-in-law? Now i am lost there lmao. That's why idk how to respond with that kind of explanation.... All in all, good to know Maomao expressiveness still doing great, especially to the famous masochist (or perhaps its a sadist one?) face of her from the trailer about the poison is actually here. She's so damn brilliant finding out that fraud food tester unable to understand Lishu allergies. Well she's no kusuriya after all. But the fact that the true mastermind of this whole disturbance still unknown, created a very understandable headache to our pretty eunuch, Jinshi. Let's hope there's something new to hint next.... |

| Wiki says that Anshi (the emperor's mother) is 44 years old, the emperor is 34.. so she was 10 when she gave birth to the emperor. If the wiki is correct about these ages then wow. |

| Okay, time for some serious speculation here. I have a feeling that Jinshi Anyway, if my speculation is correct, and also if Maomao is indeed gaining popularity by collecting all those hairpins and eventually becomes a concubine... well, that would certainly help their romance develop, wouldn't it? 😍 Now Jinshi just has to make Maomao look at him like she looks at a poisonous bowl of soup, and that's it! 😂 Gosh, I love this MC; she's so unique haha ❤️ |
 |
| So, Lishu's taste tester seems to be twisted, but Maomao put some fear into her. Maomao is building up quite the hairpin collection. |
 |
| Another poison case and Maomao liked tasting it lol... now it's up to who is trying to poison them |
