Maomao can be a real genius when it comes to detective work but can't figure out what the hairpins could mean, especially with all the lady-in-waiting reactions. 😅
It's her lady in waiting, I don't know how much she knows about Jinshi condition, but for a Royal Concubine, finding her Ladies in Waiting good marriages or other favorable patronages, was both an obligation and an important strategy (and she likes MaoMao a lot).
@@bjuganda7758But she *should* be able to pick up the same context clues that the audience does; the anime doesn't explicitly state what they mean, but their meaning is implied through the way characters act regarding them.
@@animequeendrawer The first context is “a sign of love interest in that person.” If a hairpin is gifted from a male worker to a female lady-in-waiting, this means that the male is showing love interest in that particular lady-in-waiting. As all the respective ladies-in-waiting are not allowed to leave the inner palace, this hairpin can help them leave the palace for a few days with the person who offered it as a recreational outing. Only the “taking out of the Inner Palace” context has been explained in the anime series. The second context is “a royal favor for that person.” If a high-ranking person, such as a high-ranking consort, gives this hairpin to a lower-ranking person, such as a lady-in-waiting, this can be seen as a sign of gratitude. In simple words, it can be taken as a “thank you and looking forward to your work in the future.” PS, I just did a quick Google search on this but yeah, this is the contexts
@@animequeendrawer I'm fairly certain they're a 'proposition', either for marriage or at least to show interest in the person in a less than platonic fashion... thought the ones from the other concubines may be more like a favored status/possible get out of jail free card...
One thing I don’t get is if the guy who gave the coral like pink hairpin to the girl, why would he do that when he clearly has no interest in her when she approached him for a favor? 😅
I think he just gives that hairpin to random ladies as complimentary for their hardwork during the ceremony, so the ladies in waiting can be proud of their job serving the concubines..
It doesn't fully say it but because maomao lives in the red light district when she's not living in the palace for work she's often worried for being a target of SA, so because freckles were considered "Unattractive" back then she makes freckles with the clay to keep herself from being assaulted. There's an incident at one point where her sweat accidentally washed off some of the freckles while she was working outside that she got kidnapped.
I have read all the manga and I am reading the 11th volume of light novel currently and even after so much drama and stuff she still doesn't know what haipin means
I normally prefer how the characters normally look compared to having them wear makeup, since IMO they look worse, but Maomao is the complete opposite.
Freckles were still seen as ugly even in my mother's generation. She used to compare how she was treated back then to how people are mocked nowadays when they have visible acne.
Only in the last few years. Freckles are considered lesser because it means working in the sun. It also easily marked the Irish blood which the British and other whites seem to hate. Even in the US I was picked on growing up with freckles. Even now my friend who also has them doesn’t see the issue but I see them as ugly spots on myself.
I have watched practically every apothecary diaries video on the internet, and now I'm bored as hell. I've completed the manga, watched the anime in both dub and sub, and am currently half way through volume 9 in the light novel.

ヘアピン(簪)を贈ることは求婚という意味があるそうです。
When a man gave a woman a hairpin, he must have been very fond of her and gave her a hairpin to signify his desire to tie the knot. A promise love.
It's just she doesn't care lol
@@ladylokiofasgard Part of me wonders if she's just Ace being written without being overtly ace
@@thlydd I think she's demisexual, not Asexual.
Gyokuyo san treat maomao like her daughter.

and she STILL has no idea what the hairpins mean...
Welp, she did grown up in the slums, so having no knowledge in royalty culture like this is understandable

Okay, please don’t start giving negative comments to me when I ask cuz…even I DON’T KNOW. But what do the hairpins mean?

Imagine complimenting her freckles
Come on maomao. You're beautiful ❤️ be confident!

Bcz she is not ineterested to know that and in manga it also shows that she cant understand love

Many women IRL look worse with makeup, yet they seem to think they´re more attractive with the makeup on...
at 1:29 he blush
since when freckles are considered ugly?
In ancient time they were considered ugly and ginger red hair too in many civilizations they had their beaty standards too😊
Yeah considered time period, ancient china indeed have beauty standard.
historical context bruh
You’ve got to remember that in the context of ancient China binding women’s feet to make them small was considered beautiful.
Freckles were still seen as ugly even in my mother's generation. She used to compare how she was treated back then to how people are mocked nowadays when they have visible acne.
But freckles are pretty though.
Only in the last few years. Freckles are considered lesser because it means working in the sun. It also easily marked the Irish blood which the British and other whites seem to hate.
