As a novel reader (no spoilers. Just putting my thoughts out) I just love how the show from the very begining teaches us not to make assuptions based on superficial evidence yet the people watching are all doing just that)) I find it really funny cos that is exectly what Maomao would not do cos you never know what detailes you got right and what you completely misunderstood. And the show intentionaly incentivies us to do so by leaving behing false clues that seam relevent but are actually not. It's so funny looking at anime onlys going completely off track with their theories while lammenting that the show is "revealing too much"

This is speculation as I'm anime only. Twins were considered a bad omen at that time. If the concubine had a girl along with a boy, that would mean death to both children. To save the prince, the princess would need to be killed her or spiriting her away, then covering up her birth. The Doctor who attended the birth would need to be dealt with. IF they took care of both at once... Get it? This is just speculation and conjecture, though.

I'm so certain that there's gonna be a swapped baby scenario. Its a very common trope in Chinese period dramas especially palace dramas. The lost Prince or lost Princess. Though for Jinshi, I'm pretty sure he's the Emperor's son, and if he is a swapped baby, no matter if he has the title of "brother" or "son" he is technically next in line. But based in Jinshi's limited interaction with Emperor in that meeting it feels like a younger brother older brother sort of feeling, if anything the Emperor might be suspicious of Jinshi. Typically a crown prince wouldn't be Eunuch but some sort of military position, and the kingdom has active troops out so it may be the Emperor is playing a 2 birds 1 stone card, where if he keeps Jinshi from the battlefield he wont garner more support to potentially over throw him if he is an unfavorable brother, or if he is his son, he will be protecting his only heir. Doing the math 17 years ago would , Maomao new born, Jinshi somewhere between newborn or toddler, since his age is ambiguous, Current Emperor (then prince) and Ah duo around 17, and Lishu entered sometime when she was a baby or toddler because shes like 14-15?. This would mean if Lishu and Jinshi were close in age, they could be considered "milk/foster siblings" if they were cared for by the same imperial nurse. Jinshi and Lishu could be visiting because of Ahduo, either one Jinshi suspects shes his mother and Lishu is fond of AhDuo or Fengming because one of them raised her. I'm leaning Ahduo because she's so scared of honey. So its likely if Ahduo thinks she lost her baby, she may be attached to Lishu, and the Emperor is keeping Lishu, because it brings Ahduo some comfort. Maomao could very well be Jinshi's "Aunt", but I dont feel like that's the case as the Ladies at the brothel affectionately treat her very much like a little sibling, regardless of the commonly used "Little sister/Meimei" and we had a scene where Mao Mao was on the floor glaring at someone in a bed with the "annex" comment, perhaps a shrine of some sort as we had that episode of how a courtesan in a brothel can lose her position if she gets too attached to one customer but everyone in the house is highly attached to each other, and the Madam of the house is protective her too, even though Mao mao's looks dont quite match up to the other top girls, so I think she has a connection to the brothel more so than the imperial court. Also Luomen is so OLD, he was already so old when she was a little toddler, I dont think his reserved persona would have him fathering a child with am imperial concubine or brothel courtesan, and Imperial doctors were not paid very well, if Lihaku could barely afford Verdigris House, I dont think he would be able to either unless he garnered ALOT of favor, and I dont think many brothels would want to to service a poor old limping man, unless there was alot of pity, or he cured something really hard.

I love watching people slowly put different ideas together. As someone who got too impatient and binged the manga, I had immediate answers going through a lot of these mysteries plus more to come. Seeing you dissect all the little moments and put pieces together - some very accurate and other bits not quite right - it's really great to see and I can't wait to see your opinions on upcoming episodes. Just a bit of corrective information from stuff revealed in the Anime already (I think my translation of the anime also wasn't very clear) - Ah-Duo is the daughter of the Emperor's wet nurse (if you recall, the Empress dowager had the current emperor at an uncomfortably young age...considering Lishu was part of his harem at 9 it's very obvious that the previous emperor was a pedophile and everyone knew it) Basically, they grew up very close because they're 'milk siblings' - her mother would have just finished breast feeding Ah-Duo, but still producing milk, around the time the Emperor was born. Just to help keep track of the time line: Five years ago, when the previous Emperor died, Lishu was made to take monastic vows of chastity, but because she's politically important, she was brought back into the harem, seeing as the new Emperor was expected to expand his harem from just Ah-Duo (which means she was his only wife for 12 years, suggesting he must have been genuinely devoted to her). This also means that as the emperor lost three children prior to the series (the first being Ah-Duo's 17 years ago) two infants other than the 3 month old crown prince died within the last 5 years - likely two concubines that we don't know that would have been replaced by Lihua and Gyokuyou. (This last part is purely my speculation, the manga hasn't touched on what happened to the other babies or the women who would have borne them, we just know that Lihua and Gyokuyou hadn't lost any children prior to the series starting, so I assume they're new additions to the Harem)

Er, no. Microbes can't live in honey. That's why it's a natural disinfectant. Honey is usually toxic to infants because every flowering plant in existence contains some sort of toxin in its nectar to select for its preferred pollinator. The toxin is meant to kill everything trying to get a quick meal off the flower without pollinating it. Since people aren't bees or butterflies, that includes us. The concentration of those toxins in honey won't kill an adult - just like the extremely toxic caffeine, tannin, and capsaicin won't - but it could kill babies.

Most concubines brought into the inner palace have nothing to do with hiding secrets or the emporer caring about them. It is all about politics. The major concubines come from powerful families and it is way for those families to control the emporer and for the emporer to control those families. Many were glorified hostages.Note that I don't know what the exact reasons are for the 14-year old, just pointing out that political convenience is the most common reason in RL (and certainly also true for some of the concubines in this anime).

I only watch the anime - there seemed to be a bit of a mix up at the beginning of the theory - Maomao speculates that Jinshu is Adu's son because they look alike, and he and the empress' baby were swapped soon after birth, which would mean that Jinshu grew up as the current emperor's younger brother and the empress' baby died feom the honey poisoning. Unless the empress or Adu had twins, both babies are accounted for so maomao cannot be one of them, plus Jinshu looks like hes older than maumau. That said, the prince had 3 children die before the start of the series, mao mao COULD be one of the other two that is presumed dead

I think they do ‘like” each other. Jinshi and Maomao’s sense justice seem to overlap. His acceptance of not punishing the food taster, Lihua’s Lady in Waiting, and I think his knowledge of Fuyu’s trickery (remember his doubt about her explanation of sleepwalking and his staring at the Sunset when she left the Palace). I think they respect each other a bit and kind of enjoy their silly back and forth. However, the reality of their differences in status (huge huge) really puts a dampener on any incipient getting closer. The gap in status is truly overwhelming and both are too realistic to see some kind of fairy tale like ending. The fact they do tease each other is promising and Jinshi’s jealousy on his misunderstanding suggest he is getting self aware although this personal staff and Maomao’s Lady seem very aware of a Jinshi. She remains clueless so maybe much later ….@@Odele557

Maomao has no visible traits (aka genes) with Emperor family (eye color and hair color) so she is prob not a blood relative. This allows romantic connection between Maomao and Jinshi.

Cultural differences really lead to a lot of confusion. In China, when a baby is born, they're already considered 1 year old. The prince who was born 17 years ago would be seen as 18 years old in present time. While Maomao was born 16 years ago but due to being 1 year old at birth, she's considered being 17. It's a bit confusing for us because babies in our mind start at 0, not 1.

Honey allergy is a thing because there may be left over pollen in the honey.

That is so, but another possibility is that the small prince got infant botulism from the honey.

You're not wrong about anything, but you're not quite there on some conclusions, and in ways very much to the author's credit on writing Court Culture and how the machinations there can obfuscate each other. More than that would be hinting towards spoilers, but I'll leave it at you're both underthinking and overthinking some things and leave it to you if you can puzzle it out by the next episode.

I love watching him speculate on Maomao's past.

Extremely entertaining. But I would say: this proves that the guy is an honest fellow. He is definitely not a LN-reader pretending to make good guesses. He really has not red them, and are not afraid to make guesses that potentially are far completely off the track.

Boy I hope MaoMao isn’t secretly a princess, otherwise that would complicate Jinshi being in love with her as it would make her his aunt.

no don't worry, it's confusing from our perspective but in China, when a baby is born, they're already considered 1 year old. So the prince who was born 17 years ago is considered 18. Maomao was born 16 years ago but is considered 17.

@@Jeannetalks The age isn’t the problem. It’s the fact that if they were both born of concubines, they would be blood related. Technically not as much of a problem for royalty back then, but it’s a hard sell for a modern audience.

@@Zarastro54 That's not what I mean. For them to be "related" (meaning Maomao being born 17 years ago) they would have to be the same age but they aren't, Maomao was born 16 years ago so there's no correlation to the baby who was born 17 years ago, as she wasn't born yet. I'm telling you not to worry about them being related. Jinshi was born 17 years ago, so he's seen as 18 (Maomao as 17), that was parallel to another child. (spoiler below but should be common knowledge if you watched episode 11) They got swapped. Jinshi took the place of the emperor's brother but he's actually the emperor's son. While the emperor's brother died. There's no "baby swapping" with Maomao, in fact, you will see her birth backgrounds in this season of the anime and it has nothing to do with the royal family. (spoiler: she's the daughter of a courtesan and a military strategist and belongs to a clan called "La", the royal family is the "Ka" clan)

This was another great episode imho. Good to see things start to come together and the comedic relief is still going strong. And with some much royal lineage speculation going on I wouldn't be surprised for Concubine Lishu to not to know about the royal lineage but to instead be of royal lineage herself somehow (no spoilers please).

so is this why maomao is repulsed by jinshi's attempts at charm...because they are related?
