I have a theory that Suiren is part of the Mi clan.

It’s pointed out so often how sharp she is. Maomao, Taomei, Maamei and Chue, all highly intelligent and strong ladies, are scared of her. Jinshi says at some point that not even Maomao can get the best of her. She even discovered that Maomao’s ticklish.

It’s just so convenient that she entered the Rear Palace just when a scared 10 years old Anshi was hiding her pregnancy and she was the one who discovered it and started protecting her and the baby from assassins.

When Maomao hears about it for the first time she thinks it’s fiction, showings how unbelievable it sounds.

We know the Mi clan are people trained to serve and protect the Imperial family. I think it’s safe to assume that the Empress Regnant wanted to make sure her son had at least one heir. Maybe she suspected Anshi was pregnant or hoped that some of the girls were so she sent Suiren to check and protect any girl who was expecting. And Suiren found Anshi.

Suiren just had Ah duo so she was perfect for the job. She could bond with Anshi and be her child’s wet nurse. She would be close enough to the baby to protect him.

Funnily enough, right before Maomao hears about this “legendary lady-in-waiting” she is told about how consorts were using ladies-in-waiting as spies.
