Maomao is finally another character that isn't just smart because the author told you how smart she is.
She is genuinely smartly written.
Exactly
She's not smartly written. She's just the only character in this show who uses critical thinking. Most of the time, she just happens to be the one person who discovers the key tidbit of information that the author left out from the viewer. Making everyone else dumb is not a good way to write smart characters. It's very lazy.
@@arthropod-doctorthat’s what “smartly written” is…
@@arthropod-doctor I think the story does quite well in general at portraying her intelligence without belittling others. these “mysteries” are obvious given modern context, but this show is set in a distant past time period when a lot of what it portrays isn’t common sense.
Plenty of other characters are shown to be intelligent as well. For instance, in this scene Gyokuyou also picks up on Lisha’s reaction and Maomao, and plays off of Maomao to help out Lisha.
It’s really only the chemistry and medicine that Maomao tends to be interested in that are not commonly understood.
@@idixal1836 Furthermore, they showed with the court lady exams and her games against her father that Maomao isn't universally "brilliant" she's just observant and well versed in things she's interested in.
I still find it incredibly ballsy that ladies in waiting can have the guts to bully their charge and lady like this.
The ladies in waiting are minor nobility I think, so they won't be too impacted if they get punished for bullying an unfavored concubine.
@@usaidm.8264 Depending on the situation they're either minor nobility or they are the daughters of high ranking council or military personnel which allows them to have a slightly higher capacity to gain better employment.
I think what's most important here is to remember that Lishu is far younger than any of the other high-ranking concubines at only fourteen years old. She's considerably more naïve and trusting than Gyokuyou or Lihua, having a codependent relationship with Ah-Duo before her departure from the rear palace. The show really seems to be portraying that Lishu relies on her ladies-in-waiting to help her and make decisions for her, which is understandable since, she's...well, barely a teenager, and since the ladies-in-waiting don't want to be basically babysitting a teenager...they do the bare minimum. And, from what we've seen in the first instance of the garden party alone, actively sabotage her reputation.
@@usaidm.8264 That depends on if she’s actually unfavored. She’s obviously not the emperor’s type, considering Ah Duo, Gyokyou, and Lihua. So that raises the question of why Lishu is considered a high ranking concubine. If those ladies in waiting are wrong and the emperor actually favors her a lot (just not for her body), their parents’ statuses might not protect them. Their parents might actually disown them and cut all ties with them if the emperor gets angry enough.
in this case it is because of her VERY young age, she doesnt have the agency to stand up for herself and its easily manipulated by her attendants, it starts changing thanks to some things mao mao did
Imagine bullying the person you serve
They lucky maomao doesn't serve her
They are lucky Lishu is too immature to notice it, she is just a kid still.
But with the least spoiler possible... I guarantee, Lishu's ladies-in-waiting will get a reality check.
@@Alacaelum or get checked by reality.
@endginuity8391 uhm... less uncommon than you'd think, going by what we know of history. They attend her, but she's not their boss. They just have to keep an x minimum level of civility or the head eunuch will punish them. If she complains, it's more likely she'll fall out of favor with the current ruler than that useful attendants are punished though.
@Sparkbomber Normally, yes. But there's a bit more going on with her. She's there because her father only cares about using her as a political tool, and the emporer and Ah Duo are trying to protect her (the current emporer never had any intention of using her as a concubine, but as long as she's there, she's under the emporer's control). Lishu is close to Ah Duo, and Ah Duo is close to the emporer (childhood friend, among other things). So if the emporer finds out the people that are supposed to be serving her are giving her problems, it won't go well for them.
@@bradgaines5091 That usually ends with a pretty bad headache, if you catch my drift
00:10 that ear droop is so adorable
It really is
And the twitching, too.
I like how Gyokuyou seemed to pick up on Maomao's hint. Rather than capitalizing on it, she chose to support Lishu.
I love Gykouyou so much, I hope she still shows up lots
I mean MaoMao is her food taster if she says anything is no good i guess lady Gyokuyou have to take her word for it .
@@Currently_Evil that is true. But in this case Maomao wasn't alerting Gyokuyou to the presence of poison. She was silently saying 'Lishu doesn't like honey.'
Maomao is a smart and a really good character,she knew Lishu didn't like fishes or honey and showed it to Jinshi. ❤
alergy to fish, honey intoxication history
She's actually allergic, so it's much more dangerous than that.
@@zoraackerman1684 Actually @javiermetal66 is correct on the honey intoxication as she nearly died when consuming honey. She's only allergic to fish.
@@CaptainIchimaruGin Yeah, I know. The OC said she didn't like them as if it was just some preference.
@@CaptainIchimaruGin "Only" allergic. Severe cases can be life threatening, and the thing with allergies is that the get worse every time one is subjected to the allergen.
Poor Lishu. She deserved so much better.
Yeah... I feel bad for Lishu but she will be stronger someday
She's gonna go through much worse later. In a novel.
@@ВладимирБабичев-ц3шyeah but it gets better for her
@@ВладимирБабичев-ц3ш what ends up happening to her? Does she at least get a happy/decent ending after the trauma?
I feel so sorry for Lishu. She's so young and she's had to be a high class courtesan all this time. It's both a relief and a burden that the emperor doesn't visit her. I'm sure she'd rather wait, but at the same time his ignoring her makes her look bad. On top of that to have all these allergies.
Concubine. Courtesans are women paid to provide company in various ways, while concubines are less than wives and more than mistresses.
We can be glad the emperor is decent person, in wiki says he will not visit her except to just chat no matter what!
@@chibineko6274 you can see he learnt the lesson from his father's example.
Maomao's like a big sister to Lishu; looking out for her when her when it counts. 💖🎉
*Lishu.
@@zoraackerman1684 Thanks 🎉
I don't see it in this way, it's cute
@@tylergoodman3560 You're welcome. 😁
I'm just glad the former Emperor didn't have his way with Lishu while he was alive.
Same I learn the Current Emperor has no intention of sleeping with Lishu as he sees her more like a daughter than a consort. (Thank God for that she's so young)
Ugh, seriously.
*spoiler from the novels*
The empress dowager was around 10 years old when the former emperor impregnated her. D:
@@yukirabbit2615that’s not a novel spoiler, they explained that in the episode where she eats the poisoned fish soup, the one where she first berates the food taster for her attempts to make the consort eat what she’s allergic to
@@3adgamd3r I don't remember if they mentioned it there, but they also mentioned it in one of the more recent episodes with Jinshi's monologue.
Maomao was try to protect Lishu's maiden earlier on.
one of the few currently running anime out there that i will watch weekly instead of waiting for the season to complete so i can binge it.
Maomao is so considerate she could have just left things be but she helped out instead 😊
Honestly, I would’ve preferred that she took Gyokyou aside after this and told her what was going on. Those handmaidens deserve to lose their heads for what they’re doing to Lishu, and Gyokyou would see that it gets done without Maomao having to worry about repercussions affecting her.
I seriously wish MaoMao put those girls in their place like she did the make up girl in Lady Lihua’s group of maids. But they were in the middle of a tea party, so she’s gotta prioritize. She doesn’t have the training and she runs circles around those girls in terms of service and class.
Nah, she doesn't really bother. If they try to poison Lishu tho...
@@remiremsar5946 thats exactly what they are doing with the allergies
Maomao is awesome like always, and Lishu is just to adorable, and gorgeous!
Lishu is so baby, it's so cute 🥰
0:09 Sad MaoMao ears... so cute, yet so sad...
Oh I can't wait.~ In season 2 they HAVE to have a few episodes of Maomao visiting Lishu's palace.~ The return of 'scary Mao'.~
Maomao: “looks like I was wrong. That’s good”
Also maomao: “damnit I was completely right.”
Maomao jump scare face is going to live with me forever.
there's something really great about how everyone don't really like traditions but since they are traditions and pretty much laws they all follow as much as they have to, Everyone knows Lishu is just another kid dragged into being one of the emperor's Concubine and they are not okay with that but they will accommodate as much as posible to make Lishu feel safe, they pity her in a way at least the character we know because her own posy doesn't seem to like her that much, perhaps because of the idea of a kid having a higher rank than them
At least ladiy Lishu’s foodtaster is stopping bullying her. Eh thats what i am thinking bc when lady Ah-do leaves the palace and lady Lishu ran after her crying the foodtaster ran after her folowing her lady.
She's Best girl ❤❤❤❤
This was a massive "Up yours" moment at the end there
EMU OTORI'S VOICE IS THERE YAYAYAY
0:53 ooooh so now lishu’s food taster cares, after getting scared by maomao 😒
Looks like Title-kun is re-watching the show lol
Catcat always saving the day 🥺
I miss MaoMao x Jinshi so much 😩 Please upload the headbutt scene 🥹
I’m so sad that I have to wait AYEAR for season 2
Only a year? Man we've been waiting for One Punch Man for 5 years already ☠️
@@PerilPopUp Oh that legendary show- I wish they also shifted focus on that, Saitama takes 5 seconds to draw when he's not serious 😅
Yeah but we got confirmation right away, I’ll take it
Better than waiting for the “what if”
i mean the fact S2 got insta-announced is so nice
@@PerilPopUp welp I’m sooo impatient
Maomao will remember this
This show seems actually really compelling. I’ll see how I can watch it.
Awesome The Apothecary Diaries Video.
There's a real reason why Lishu doesn't like honey, and the clue is that it is NOT intended for children (at that certain age).
that's slightly inaccurate (anime S1 spoilers):
Lishu was served honey as an infant (which you LEGIT shouldn't do, it's poison to them) and barely made it alive. She can have it now, she's just averse to it because of that incident
@@matnovak
Sometimes after having a reaction to things as a baby you keep the aversion to it. (Sometimes you grow out of it though)
Eggs and honey come to mind.
@@matnovak It’s not that honey is poison to them, it’s just extremely risky to do so. They can die if the honey happens to be contaminated with botulinum spores because their gut bacteria is not strong enough to withstand the toxins until they’re older.
Really hope we get new series of this
Season 2 is confirmed for 2025
Maomao is a real girl's girl
Lishu should fire them. I hope she grows some discernment
Well played Maomao😏💚
Why would Lishu love sweets if she hated it?
She likes sweets (like sugary sweets), but she was fed honey as a baby, and honey is super toxic to babies, so she thought she can’t eat honey because of that experience
She hates honey
Lishu had a bad experience with honey intoxication as an infant/child. Might even be allergic, like she is with fish. Basically, she loves sweets, but honey specifically is terrifying/dangerous for her.
Perfect ❤
Poor Lishu she's been through a lot I can tell. I just want to take her out of the palace and adopt her.
KAWAII WAIFU PRINCESSE SHAO MAO MAO 💕😘😈😍🔥💋🎌
*Lishu, Natsuhyuuga's Punching Bag.*
Good maomao
How old is that girl?
Only 2
Hmm could it be that she has either some trauma with those dishes or a lot of allergies?
She nearly died when she was a baby because she was given honey. Honey has bacteria in it that's harmful to infants.
She got really sick when she was a baby after being fed honey, so her nursemaids would always tell her not to eat it as she grew up and now she’s got a fear of it because she thinks it’ll still harm her. (You know how you’re not suposed to feed babies under 2 year old honey? It’s to avoid then getting sick if the honey is from somewhere where the bees that pollinated it got a type of pollen that babies can’t handle in it)
She’s allergic to fish, and dislikes honey because of the above reason. So the maids behind her make fun of her for it since she’s like 14 and doesn’t realize they’re being mean on purpose yet. Girl REALLY needs to get some new servants fr….
@@illyachan5901honey normally contains a small amount of botulism, which is fine for adults but can be fatal for under 2s
💪
Imagine bullying a 14 year old
