The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 2 - Natsu Hyuuga

The grooming in this series never ends

she's so prettyyyyyy!!!!

Otherwise, this is a bit of a massive plot hole...

I do wonder whether this "wise man" is Luomen, for her to be looking at him all sparkly like this!

Miss Pounce and boing boing!

and if I say this is come from some of the courtesans at the verdigris (and other brothels) that feel so envious of Maomao for being able to get away while they couldn't and thus dislike her....

Maomao's "i'm of low birth" is really deep-rooted. She even feels awkward at Shenlu being nice and respectful towards her once she realizes she's likely a well-educated court lady in the rear palace for a reason

She's truly obsessed!

Maomao you're not as sneaky as you think you are

I kinda want to know more about Lihua's lineage. on his mother's side, meaning on Anshi's side. but at the same time, there's future mention that Lihua herself is of noble (imperial? i dont remember) blood, and that's why her son is more favored as the crown prince
