Apothocary Diaries 1x11-12

"Eunuch delivery guy" is a very different things. That's something Doordash probably offers. XD

Ok, I can't stand this confusing, misguided conjecture anymore. Jinshi is supposed to fire Maomao, but has the power to veto this decision. He wants her to stay, but doesn't want to impose his own will upon her. He knows she would comply with either verdict. He wants her to decide, but doesn't know which option she'd choose. At the same time, Maomao has no right to interject, but has the power to sway Jinshi's mind. She wants to stay, but doesn't want to assert her own feelings in a matter beyond her power. She wishes to continue serving, but will accept either verdict out of subservience. She wants Jinshi to help her, but can't ask him outright to bend the rules for her sake. Both parties wish for Maomao to stay, but neither can express it directly. Jinshi asks Maomao to weigh in, hoping she will ask to stay, but unable to impose his own will. Maomao defers to Jinshi's decision, hoping he'll command her to stay, but unable to express her own wishes. In the absence of this communication, they feign indifference and resort to the default verdict. Without intervention, Maomao is punished in accordance with the standard ruling, and cast out.

As it was told to Maomao, Lishu has been concubine to both the current emperor and his father, which is what made her effectively Ah-Duo's mother-in-law during the previous emperor's reign.

It's called collective punishment. It was a thing back then.

That was the ending of Cour 1 of Season 1, which is why it had almost a season finale feel to it. Definitely can't blame y'all for enjoying the series so much. I didn't start the anime until season 2 started. Went into it having heard about it but didn't have any idea what it was about. It definitely made me regret waiting so long to check it out.

How I understood Maomao and Jinshi's conversation: - Jinshi's position: I want her to stay but I also want to respect her wishes - Maomao's position: I want to stay but I am just a servant girl and can't voice my wishes - Maomao says: "I will work hard and will do whatever you say" (if you let me stay) - Jinshi hears: "As long as I am here I have no will of my own" and so he lays her off.

Karlii is so relatable in being addicted to this show, it's so so good

2 more for Karlii 👏👏

This show is just so goooood. Honestly had 0 idea what i was getting myself into when i started it cause i heard nothing about it when it started but it was sooooo worth it. Like genuinely one of the greatest shows to pick up because its got romance, mystery, murder, comedy, slice of life, historic accuracy in many aspects. It was a diamond in the rough but one of the brightest gems to ever shine

mao mao time!

Being able to take a walk makes a bit of sense when you realize the "palace" they are in is essentially the Forbidden City. Concubines and their ladies were restricted to the inner court which is about 90acres (the entire area is about 180 acres giving Mao Mao and area roughly half a mile long and 1/3mile wide to walk around. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I'd be down for four episodes per reaction.,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

👏👏👏👏👏

Jinshi knew Maomao would accept both options, but he didn't want to chance Maomao thinking he kept her in the Rear Palace against her will.

So the reason why 12 feels like it was a season finale was that this show is based on a light novel and episodes 1-12 covers the events of volume 1

Not sure if it became clear but basically since her kidnappers were merchants by trade and did business with fengmings family they are associates which makes maomao an associate and punishable for fengmings crimes.

MAOMAO TIME
