Lihua being so passionate to learn more forbidden techniques after Maomao taught one to her is so precious,ever since that episode I’ve been hoping she would get more screentime
I adore Gyokuyou, but I agrer, Lihua started getting more development with Maomao that I wish we could see more of. That scene where Maomao is collapsed from exaustion and Lihua sits beside her and starts carassing her like she was her daughter still tugs at my heart, specially since Lihua had just lost her baby son. 😢
Let's be honest, at this point Maomao has been effectively hired, adopted and ensistered to all but the newest concubine, add the trust of the emporer and love of jinshi and she's effectively the most understatedly powerful person in the palace... And it's all adorable to see.
Gyuokyo: Enjoying herself, having a blast just glad to see Maomao again Liuha: Earnestly studying and taking notes: Laolun: (Feinging?) Disinterested Lishu: ☠
The thing that continues to get me about this whole situation is that nothing in the original summons seemed to explain WHAT Maomao was actually expected to be teaching these women (Jinshi sure didn't seem to know) - only that she was being called on to "teach the new Courtesan". She just seems to have made the assumption that this was the intended lesson plan and then no one contradicted her.
Well, surely they didn’t want her to teach Loulan about drugs, right? And given Lihua’s past experience with Maomao’s teaching, her request is pretty suggestive in itself.
Given lihua asked after more teachings of what ahw taught her.... For her own lady it mostly was a way to check in with her, but she was not objecting either. Given the nature of the request, getting more specific plain was not an option
Without question this is my favorite scene in this entire anime. Seeing Lishu passing out over and over again had me replaying this scene several times during the episode. I think the Emperor had a few interesting nights after this went down.
@@CreepyLolitahe is a nice guy. He actually doesn’t see her as a concubine 😊 Also later, he is pretty clear when he says he prefers ladies to have more “voluptuous assets” like Lihua 😅
@@StrangerForever85 It is VERY much like the gag in Azumanga Daioh (complete with “wow, this is educational”), and both rely on leaving the contents hinted at. It suggests material filthier than anything you could imagine, where explicitly showing something would make whatever you come up with feel mundane by comparison - the old “noodle incident” principle, as outlined by Watterson. Come to think of it, I’ve long heard writing comedy and writing horror have a lot in common, so maybe this is a counterpart to “keep the monster shrouded in mystery to amplify fear”.
Given the fakt he was plain traumatised at what happened to his mother and got a very clear demonstration to why tpuching anyone to young, it is not even really a moral conviction in his favor, also his one true love adopted that kid and probably would have castrated him for thinking about it, would trauma not plain prevent it from the start
Not just that, she cares a lot about her inner circle and this was the best way for her to check in on maomao, if she is alright and all, thpugh the teqchings are a benifit ontop
I don't think he sees her as a daughter, it's just that he doesn't share his fathers....taste. As Maomao puts it "He prefers 'riper' fruits". There's a non-zero chance that when she gets older he would actually be interested in her.

What I love most about this scene is that the social structure is temporarily gone. There are no concubines and servants. There are only women teaching and learning together equally.
@@chriswihulu yeah I think that out of every single person in the empire, he's the one who's the most glad Maomao got kidnapped and became a servant. I mean, she saved his daughter and Lihua, she made him aphrodisiacs, his concubines acquired a hella lot of _skills_
@@cupcakecutie671 we already saw the Emperror twice. When he asked Gyokuyo to borrow MaoMao to heal Lihua and last episode when he was talking with Jinshi. If you mean the *previous* Emperror (as officially Jinshi is the younger brother of the current one), we will see him later (but he is not a pleasant character).
She's not feigning, as her open-mouthed stare at Maomao later shows. She simply had no idea, and doesn't really believe any of this. "Why would anyone want to do that?--but it makes me--nevermind. " But these teachings will surprise her, haunt her, again and again when she least expects them.
yeah i think the only reason shes still a concuine is becuase the curent emporer didnt want to give her the insult of rejection and possibly to preserve political conections, so thankfully shes just title only
I like how her class is done in a montage set to arabesque music. It subtly reminds us of the importance of the silk road in exchanging knowledge and information between China and other countries and is responsible for prolific cultural exchange betweenThe East and the West -in which the middle east as an important central hub

Well, if we are going to base this off of how China was back then and how women were oftentimes to be deemed "pure," - especially those of higher status - then, it makes sense. This emperor seems a bit more open to allowing the consorts some freedoms, however.
House Verigis really is making money with Maomao on the Palace. Like really happy their lost daughter is basically free promo to their place. The mystery she helped solve later was also great and I am surprised she didn't turn that pice of evidence to Jinshi.
The hilarious thing is that Maomao is yet still a maiden. She’s just well studied from having the “invincible warlord” Meimei as a foster big sister, among others. When Jinshi hooks up with her eventually, she’s liable to ruin him.

I can't blame Lady Lishu freaking out. Still a child and hasn't done it would freak an underage person. And who know what type of things Maomao suggest doing. I'm still wonder what she suggested to Lihua in the last episode.

The emperor definitely having a good night. Also glad the emperor doesn’t have the same tastes as his father so Lishu won’t be needing any of this knowledge unless she gets married or something idk.
1:58 "I can't tell what [Loulan] is thinking." Loulan, I suspect, is just now realizing what it is, exactly, in detail, what it is a concubine does that makes her a concubine. It is utterly foreign to her--but she is so aloof, so contained, because she must restrain her own un-realized passion. (NB: I have not read the light novels. Don't spoil, please.)
I love what the animators did with Louran. It's the same thing they did back in the first core for another character that did the same thing she is. It's really subtle which is hard to do in animation. That was hard to write without spoilers
@@DragonEmi-pj3jk Simply put, the Kama Sutra is something of a textbook on tantric matters. Positions, foreplay, how to best please your partner. I don’t know the history of it myself, and I don’t really have anything to do with it on account of my never having a partner, so all I know about it is that it comes from India, hence the name. I’ve seen it mentioned in several stories, like Berserk, of all places, but this is really everything I know.
I guess, Mao Mao basically gave "the talk" to lady Lishu, because she is the youngest, and the emperor didn't touch her for being a kid, different from his father.
You know, this reminds me I don't know which episode it was but didn't some of the court ladies tried to gang up and bully her one even slapped her she's on pretty good terms with the high-ranking concubines was that smart on their decision?
Considering that Maomao isn’t serving Gyokyou anymore and does not have an official channel to contact her she wouldn’t really be able to prove this fact to begin with. Not that she’d ever choose to anyway, since doing so would only draw attention to herself and Maomao only does that as an unintended consequence of her actions rather than deliberately
Gyukuyo and Lihua are so beautiful❤❤and seeing them being so into Maomao's lessons is so funny😂😂but Lishu passing out was truly crazy I died of laughing😂😂

The fact that Lady Gyuokyo got pregnant within the season should say something.
Louran pretending not to be listening but clearly blushing along with Lihua is pretty excellent characterization
I’m confused, where is Louran (the new concubine?) blushing, or even implied. She seemed thoroughly uninterested and unfazed.
Where do you see that?
I see no blushing from her. Unless you mean her eye shadow. She straight seems uninterested. And only showed expression when Jinshi showed.
I think the blushing is during the chibi section (0:54) where her face is like the same colour as lihua's

0:56 even though Rouran isn't paying attention, her face is red 😂😂 (and Lihua too)
Louran using the kuudere facade when on the inside she's probably screaming.
This series is Magnificent 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
1:58 "I can't tell what [Loulan] is thinking." Loulan, I suspect, is just now realizing what it is, exactly, in detail, what it is a concubine does that makes her a concubine. It is utterly foreign to her--but she is so aloof, so contained, because she must restrain her own un-realized passion. (NB: I have not read the light novels. Don't spoil, please.)
this is so what to her,she flips the book away.she know just everything already.
that poor pre-teen was not ready for this
I love what the animators did with Louran. It's the same thing they did back in the first core for another character that did the same thing she is. It's really subtle which is hard to do in animation.
That was hard to write without spoilers
reminds me of that scene in Azumamaga Daiho.
Agreed
ERO-ERO? 🔞😁
Jinshi... You know, the day you'll become a couple with Maomao... damn boy, you're a very, veeeeery, VEEEERY lucky man at night... 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I had to scroll too far to find this comment
I just need to know what she taught! 🤣. This comment is gold
Si así es. Maomao sabrá resolver ese tema 😂😂
0:49, SPOILERS
I CANNOT believe that one little reaction is how I found out which one was actually Loulan. And in THIS SCENE, OF ALL SCENES.
Wait what, you want to say the woman in the background is actually loulan?
Dying waiting for more episodes
It’s like they’re all reciting the Kama Sutra! 😂😂
just curious, what even is that? i saw mentions of the Kama sutra on some other comments here and it got me wondering
@@DragonEmi-pj3jk Simply put, the Kama Sutra is something of a textbook on tantric matters. Positions, foreplay, how to best please your partner. I don’t know the history of it myself, and I don’t really have anything to do with it on account of my never having a partner, so all I know about it is that it comes from India, hence the name. I’ve seen it mentioned in several stories, like Berserk, of all places, but this is really everything I know.
@@coltonwilliams4153 oh, i see
Not gonna lie, when Maomao was unwrapping the stuff, I honestly thought it was gonna be ancient Chinese... toys...
That's probably exactly what it was. Those packages were too big to only contain one book each.
0:55 someone make this a gif. 😊
_"Oooh, myyy~."_
"DAMMIT, TAKEI!"
That bgm had me in tears 😂😂😂
Alternate Title:
*Maomao Tells The Girls About Tier 15*
Gave me How a Realist Rebuilt the Kingdom vibes and did made me laugh
I guess, Mao Mao basically gave "the talk" to lady Lishu, because she is the youngest, and the emperor didn't touch her for being a kid, different from his father.
I love to imagine in the purple boxes there was just like a 15 inch-
Lihua’s lady in waiting is so hilarious 🤣
I love the fact the new consorts face is also red.
Linhua: ☺️🥰
You know, this reminds me I don't know which episode it was but didn't some of the court ladies tried to gang up and bully her one even slapped her she's on pretty good terms with the high-ranking concubines was that smart on their decision?
It was literally the episode before this. and I don't think they know Maomao is friends with atleast 2 of the High Concubines
probably not, but I also doubt Maomao cares enough to mention it
Considering that Maomao isn’t serving Gyokyou anymore and does not have an official channel to contact her she wouldn’t really be able to prove this fact to begin with. Not that she’d ever choose to anyway, since doing so would only draw attention to herself and Maomao only does that as an unintended consequence of her actions rather than deliberately
Gyukuyo and Lihua are so beautiful❤❤and seeing them being so into Maomao's lessons is so funny😂😂but Lishu passing out was truly crazy I died of laughing😂😂
0:43 An expected reaction of a child
:'
This is a lesson for women.
Poor baby.
Lishu doesn't have to worry after all the emperor only sees her like a child and I doubt that will change
