Maomao is really the type of girl to have a Food Wars reaction to ingesting poison.

Gyokuyou's other ladies getting offended on behalf of the Maomao slander made them even more likable than they already were but it's kinda funny how pretty much every other concubine's party is mostly filled with jerks.

Also, everything about the previous emperor and Lishu is bleak. Damn.

Is Maomao a masochist?

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...

She likely knew about her allergy and wanted her to break out in hives but didnt realize how serious it could get. That is why she had a sinister grin after tasting the food because she noticed a mistake had been made.

I didn't get what Maomao was alluding to when she put her hand before her mouth to intimidate the girl who was bullying her. Was that some kind of sexual allusion, referring to the courtisan joke she had terrified the attendant with earlier? It is funny, because this exact scene and hand motion is in my forum avatar and as it turned out I just don't get what she is trying to pull with it.

P.S.: Ok, after having thought about it I maybe get it now. She is hiding that part of her face that is usually masqueraded with freckles trying to make the bullies realise that she is actually the ugly girl they are talking about.

I dont think the hand gesture meant anything obscene. I think it is actually a humble gesture but i dont know the exact meaning. She was using the hand gesture to hide from others the threatening expression she made as a reminder of a previous threat she had made.

I mean she already seems familiar with so many poisons but seems to enjoy it enough to unnecessarily repeat the process purely to enjoy the sensations themselves

I'm not great at critical analysis, so hell knows if this was better or worse objectively. But I enjoyed it greatly, glad we got to see a more serious side of Jinshi, will be interested to see where this thing with the extraneous officer goes, and the intrigue regarding the spy builds! Looks like we'll get some answers next week from the look at the end of the episode, too. I love her little courtesan tricks, it's a fun touch, and as ever the animation is stunning. The music is really good as well, to the point it's notable in a few scenes. Ahhhh it's so fun.

I've been waiting for this to be animated and it did not disappoint! Maomao enjoying herself as the poison tester, if she were reborn in modern times, she'd be a popular mukbang food blogger.

Maomao might be the only person ever who enjoys to taste poison :D. Also I've learned something else from this episode... I'd never want her on my bad side (although she was nice to the mean attendants, offering them the hot stones).

Ha ha, to see how popular she got with all these hairpins (who's an ugly duckling now!?). But I love her for her reactions :D<3. Her imagination running wild about Jinshi again. But I think there is something else behind it. Still I wonder whose hairpin he was wearing (also Maomao thought he looked better this way ;).

Sorry but the former emperor was so gross for marrying a nine-year old! I know at that time girls were married off pretty young but this is... ewww. So she was the one who was supposed to eat the poison (on a side note, who'd beneift from this if they knew the food is gonna be tested for poison)? If I understood it correctly her poison tester had to do with it and the switching was an accident? Or did she do it on purpose because she knew she couldn't eat the fish anway? Which means someone else would have intended to kill her by using poison except it ended up on the wrong side (according to the preview for the next episode it seems like it).

Not my favorite episode tbh but I still enjoyed/liked it and Maomao made up for it :D <3

@leonardobarba Just accepting her in rear palace as concubine is enough for state affairs. 90% of all consorts are accepted for that reason. Who emperor choose to spend night with is on other hand matter of preference.

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.

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.

@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.

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?

She is the honored guest of the Son of Heaven and cannot openly show in front of his eyes that she does not like his treats. It is considered an insult to the ruler.
