@Zefyris if I am not mistaken, both sisters arrival and stuff with Shin is teased early here but my memory about these minor details from early LN volumes is also vague.
| @Nachtwandler_21 well, I was remembering them arriving around vol 5 so I wasn't expecting to see them at all in the second anime season. But I checked the wikia, and apparently in the novel they arrive at That being said, apparently the anime is indeed mentioning them earlier than the novel did, since they should have been mentioned for the first time in like 6-7 episodes or so, if the wikia is correct about their first mention (vol 3 chapter 15 our of 21 for first mention ). Not like it really makes a difference though, and them being mentioned now even felt logical in the anime anyway. |

| @Zefyris the whole point was of them arriving during the Gyokuyo's second pregnancy, not after. Plus there were a bunch of parts with the youngest sister hanging out with MaoMao, Shisui and Xiaolan (including that bath scene with MaoMao being a bit jelous of her and Shisui being stacked). Which would have been impossible if they arrived after vol.4 ch.6 or 8 (do not remember in which one the twist happens). |

| @Nachtwandler_21 but that point would only work if I remembered when . I did say that I have only a vague recollection of early volumes after all, i've read them way too many years ago to remember most of the small events :) |

| Sniffing conspiracy lol. Whatever it takes to solve the case, though. Maomao isn’t wrong. Jasmine tea is known to cause side effects that would be very detrimental for those going through pregnancy. Yet funny enough, it can help with fertility, Maomao was clearly messing with Jinshi and he didn’t appreciate it, even though she was joking. |
 |
| Maomao was great and the dialogue was great. The mystery is really ramping up, but where did the animation go? I suppose since this was a set-up episode for the current mystery they took it easy on the budget. The endless stills and still montage in the first half of the episode was distracting. From an animation standpoint, that was one of the weaker episodes of the series. Luckily, everything else was just as good as it has always been. I cracked up at Maomao's sniffing spree. Of course, the "low blow" to Jinshi was equally amusing. Excited for next episode and wondering if Jinshi downing the tea is going to have some significance? I thought he was going to collapse after he left the building, but it seems the poisoning has occurred elsewhere. |

@Mari_Marx she’s actually not new. I thought she seemed familiar so I just went back to check and she’s the one who threw away Maomao’s warning about the face powder
@Nobody5464 You can also see her in episode 6 at the beginning of the festival when all the main concubines are sitting next to the emperor, with their main lady in waiting sitting behind them. Hongniang is sitting behind Gyokuyou, Fengmin behind Ah Duo, and Shin is behind Lihua. |

| maomao is such a genius ! she thinks a lot of details , to bring the best conclusion, to see what is happening ! maomao needs a sister ! |

| @Nachtwandler_21 oh i see. thank you for clarify.😁 |
| Xiaolan is so cute There indeed is many herbs and spices that can cause a miscarriage. JessicaKari said: did Jinshi down the jasmine tea after maomao said it could cause infertility? He did. I've had flowering teas before they do not collapse so quickly and there was no fluid left in the glass, which was hard to tell from how the glass was drawn. kizumi91 said: Gotta blame the horrible Netflix sub again, it's actually the opposite of it. Jasmine tea is considered as an aphrodisiac and a fertility booster. Maomao said "funin" 不妊 as soon as she opened her mouth, which means infertility or decreased fertility. I think what you are reading referencing increased fertility is talking about women's fertility because those articles you're likely looking at are on blogs or articles focused for women. In Chinese jasmine flower is "mo li hua" 茉莉花 if you want to look it up on a TCM site. I'm not having luck finding info on if it reduces fertility in males or not myself. |

| @kizumi91 Oh I was going to try to do the whole lines but it's kind of hard for me. What part of the sentence makes it mention as a pro fertility drug? Is it に suggesting infertility caused by men implying it as a preexisting issue it is to resolve rather than the intended effect? Is there a reason it is phrased that way instead of talking about it having fertility improving effects mainly for men? Seems that link doesn't mention fertility, infertility, pregnancy or sperm doing a quick in page search. I wasn't doubting that it is used to improve fertility at least for one of the sexes just wasn't sure what the supposed effects are exactly. |

There're various causes for infertility in men, some of them include: low hormone level, excessive fat accumulation, stress and depression, epididymitis, etc. The jasmine tea with such pharmacological effects as antimicrobial activity, antiseptic, circulation improvement, hormone balancing might be helpful against the aforementioned. It's not a magic elixir but it prob works to some extent.Seems that link doesn't mention fertility, infertility, pregnancy or sperm doing a quick in page search.

| I'm sorry but I don't really understand... are these servants (Lihua's and Gyokuyou's) trying to harm their own Ladies? (with that fragrance and jasmine tea). It's a bit suspicious that there are two twin girls who look like potential new concubines. But if it wasn't for Maomao then I wouldn't have known that jasmine tea had such side effects. I learned something new today. |
 |
| wow i just missed it so much. Very good episode. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Who killed Jin-sama ? That's a mystery for detective Mao Mao ! |
| I'm getting really curious as to who's the big bad here, the one scheming behind the scenes since the previous season, it wasn't yet revealed right just some girl who supposedly died but didn't really died. And why are the emperor's bitches getting targeted? to deprive him of a male heir maybe? |
 |
| Another really great episode. Maomao was really showing her stuff as a really great apothecary, and just how much of an expert she really is! And that caravan with all the vendors was a really nice treat too. Nice to see all the characters be able to shop and stuff. However, I thought that Jinshi was being really uptight, when he called Maomao perverted for going around sniffing all those outfits like that, especially considering the fact that she was trying to check to see if it was poisonous to pregnant women. And he was also bitching about the fact that she didn’t get their “permission” before sniffing them, how ridiculous is that? I mean, it’s air. Air is for all of us to share. (hey, that was actually really clever) I mean I know it wasn’t the most tactful how Maomao did it, but we all know why she was doing it, for a damn good reason And you know what I mean. The very fact that some of them were saying she would need to have permission in order to go around sniffing the outfits, despite the fact that it was in order to determine whether or not it’s poisonous to the courtesan’s unborn child, was totally ridiculous and actually hindering her job to also protect the courtesan, and her unborn child as well. Just in case you were wondering, the reason why I’m so annoyed at this is about a lot more than just this one scene with that kind of stuff. |
| Just 2 episodes in and a lot is happening already, I'm not even sure where to start. Maomao and Xiaolan's relationship is so sweet. Maomao really has become like her big sister and Xiaolan is just so adorable and precious. Also, I just love the way she says Maomao's name. It's so freaking cute. Maomao has also seemingly made a new friend in Shisui. Watching them bond over insects and spiders was great. I'm curious what sort of role Shisui will have in the upcoming story. You can tell she's going to end up being a pretty important character. I just hope she's on Maomao's side. Now there seems to be a subtle, widespread plot unfolding across the rear palace, with pregnant or potentially pregnant high-ranked concubines as the target. How they seem to know of Gyokuyou's pregnancy is suspect as it is, but it seems Lihua may be newly pregnant and they also may be aware of that as well. How is this information getting out? Once again Maomao's knowledge and observational skills come in clutch to catch on to this potential poisoning plot that no one else was likely to notice, along with recognizing the clothes were potentially being used as a test to verify who may actually be pregnant. Though running around sniffing everyone without consent may not have been her best move. Haha Lihua's head lady-in-waiting, Shin, is obviously suspicious. She didn't appear much in S1, but her actions then prevented Maomao from helping to save Lihua's baby, so she's obviously a prime suspect in this new plot. That last scene also portrayed Hongniang in a suspicious light as well. Hopefully that was just a bit of misdirection, but that combined with the knowledge they have a new lady-in-waiting coming to the Jade Pavilion really gets me wondering what else might be going on there. I'm really looking forward to how this all plays out! |
| Oooh, this show does a great job with the cliffhangers. What was with Genkukyou's mysterious presentation at the end? Who's bringing all of these substances into the rear palace, and what does it have to do with Shin? I was pretty cold on the last half of the first season, but this episode does a great job reminding me of what hooked me on the series to begin with - solving mysteries and political intrigue in mid-century legally distinct China. |
| Tea has never looked so menacing before. And now that I remember, Lihua was also drinking tea at the beginning of the episode 💀 |
| Lots of weird things going on in the palace. Maomao buying Xiaolan the little bows was so cute omg Maomao and the new girl are going to get along very nicely. Its always fun meeting someone with the same interests as you <3 The coughing we heard didn't sound good at all. I wonder why Maomao wanted to know about the dresses with belts? Iirc they only sold dresses without belts, right? This episode did go by too quickly tbh. The ending was really sus. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| hmmm Looks like something's boiling up. |

| the place most easily influenced by fads .. highschool? I forgot all about the characters personalities, rip my memory. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| While the diplomatic relations come with the caravan, the servants get to work expecting another new lady-in-waiting to anticipate Gyokuyou's newborn (plus many servants), though getting Lady Hongniang's wrath is never good. And while things at Lihua's Crystal Pavilion are intense due to the caravan's arrival, the 5-day festival at the rear palace has the various Pavilions all anticipating for their desired new clothings. This is espeically so for Princess Gyokuyou, which her pregnancy is confined to the 4 walls and should not have been leaked out, but yet, Maomao senses something amiss. Regardless, getting invited by Xiaolan on the final day of the caravan meant discounts galore, and the girl that helped save the kitten Maomao, Shisui is also here to bask in the festivities. And as expected from her eccentric personality, going to the ruins of the north side to find insects that can help relieve illnesses, that piques Maomao's interests all the more. Not all of the things from the caravan are good, as such with the strong scented oils, which Maomao detects an abnormality at the Crystal Pavilion enough to try and smell everyone's clothes, getting a complaint from its head lady-in-waiting Shin. What came out of it were materials that could affect pregnancies in abnormal volumes, and remembering the incidents of past with Lihua's child and Lingli's sickness, they can't afford to be complacent this time with such conveniences that could be coincidences at best with past events that shook the rear palace. It's hard to tell which ones were orchestrated or not, as Jinshi tries the jasmine tea that Maomao concocted in small volumes...though her joke hits hard on his eunuch self, which is an actual insult. The toxins have finally killed a concubine, who is the perpetrator this time? |
