Season 2 Episode 1 Summary
The episode began in the spring, shortly after the events of the garden party in the previous season. Jinshi carried out an inspection of all the Palace residences, talking to the ladies-in-waiting. During this visit, concubine Gyokuyo revealed that Maomao had been spending a lot of time at the clinic, dedicated to creating new medicines and solutions.
Maomao also ordered books from a brothel where he 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 distributed them to 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 “Inspector of Thieves” for hunting rats that threatened the clinic's stocks and was affectionately called Maomao .
