wise words from suiren

No Apothecary Diaries this Friday 🙁😮‍💨😭 THIS SUCKS 😣😩😫

[neo--queen--serenity]

Suiren, local jinmao pioneer, means nothing nefarious by suggesting you help yourself to her book collection, Maomao. What’s this? They’re all romance novels? Nothing suspicious here. Completely unrelated, my dear, how do you feel about Jinshi? Anything you’d like to discuss??

Episode 14, The New Pure Consort

The fact that the anime staff has introduced Rikuson as early as in the first season and it is voiced by the great Kōki Uchiyama is more beautiful to me. Imagine his story being told later. Imagine the friction he’ll create like a wedge between Maomao and Jinshi. Additionally, Rikuson accompanies Lahan, who is voiced by Toshi Toyonaga. These two VAs somewhat follow each other. First with “Yuri!! On Ice” (as both Yuris) and then “Buddy Daddies” as Rei Suwa and Kazuki Kurusu respectively. Of course, it is only coincidence but that is all right. This is one of my favourite episodes. The moment when Consort Loulan has a good look on Maomao while the latter teaches the highest consorts about sex education. She has probably developed an infatuation toward the apothecary. An interestingly intelligent young woman, a formidable opponent. She’ll meet her, she’ll befriend her, but not in a noblewoman’s outfit.

Season 2, Episode 11

Maomao, thinking: Suiren will be horrified if I climb on Master Jinshi like a ladder. She may never forgive me.

LN14 spoilers ahead

rereading this after knowing suiren is ah duo's mother is interesting. from the way maamei mentioned it to maomao and maomao wondering why jinshi hadn't told her himself and then thinking maybe he thought suiren would've told her - the way they're talking here, alone, and jinshi's internal thoughts never drifted to this fact - now i'm wondering if jinshi actually knew.

previously i was thinking that jinshi didn't seem to know about the birth-switch (i was actually conflicted about this for a very long time and i still kind of am, but hints point to this i suppose. but his remarks on how ah-duo invited him for a drink before she left rear palace really initially led me to think he knew).

that said, i assumed he did likely know that suiren is ah duo's mother when i first read that (his job as "jinshi" would probably made him aware of these details about all the consorts, even if ah duo had been the emperor's consort for far longer than he'd begin managing the rear palace). and it seemed like it's no secret that suiren served the emperor previously, and also not a secret that she has/had a daughter (ex that one time she lent maomao the old clothes of her daughter), putting all these information together combined with how ah duo and the emperor grew up together, it seemed to be at least something that could be suspected, even if no one told him outright .... plus, maamei knew as well. i think gaoshun also absolutely knew.

i guess this passage up here doesn't exactly prove that he didn't know either, hmmm. he did have other things on his mind, so even if suiren might be thinking about the life her daughter had, the life she might have led differently if things were different .... perhaps it was not on the forefront of jinshi's mind.

going back to suiren. for all she was talking about how his majesty might be thinking, for she seems to be warning jinshi against making mistakes that would leave himself in regret - and using the emperor's story as an example - she's probably thinking more about ah-duo's side of the story. her daughter. suiren came to the rear palace working as the emperor (just a prince then)'s milk mother at first, and if she hadn't taken the job, if her daughter hadn't grown up with him, and later became his consort .... she would have had a different life. a much less trapped one.
