Season 2 Episode 1 Summary
The episode began in spring, shortly after the events of the garden party in the previous season. Jinshi inspected all the palace residences, speaking with the ladies-in-waiting. During this visit, concubine Gyokuyo revealed that Maomao had been spending a lot of time in the clinic, dedicated to developing new medicines and solutions.
Muhammad also ordered books from a brothel where she had previously worked to help the ladies-in-waiting educate themselves. Although Jinshi and Gaoshun confiscated the materials, they decided not to reprimand her. Instead, Jinshi decided to print them and distribute them to the concubines, encouraging literacy in the Palace.
During a walk outside the Jade Pavilion, the princess found an abandoned kitten and asked Maomao to capture it. After caring for the animal at the clinic, Maomao received permission from the emperor to keep it. The kitten earned the title of "Thief Inspector" for hunting rats that threatened the clinic's supplies and was affectionately named Maomao .
