    Summary

    “I’m not sure how to take any of it, to be honest. I keep thinking you feel the same, but when we get close to acting on things, you pull away.” There was a long pause. Mao Mao didn’t answer. Finally, Jinshi continued in a small voice. “Please, Xiaomao, help me understand.”

    Summary

    Maomao is given as a concubine to the Moon Prince in an attempt to control Lakan. Jinshi is against the idea of trapping a young woman in the rear palace for her father’s poor attitude and tries his best to accommodate her as both the palace manager and as the Moon Prince. But as time drags on, he falls in love with his odd concubine and his double life poses many issues.

    Maomao never expected to be part of palace life and finds it rather difficult to adapt to. That being said, she loves the new access to overflowing ingredients the palace offers, especially the extremely rare ones the Moon Prince has taken to giving her as presents. If only the meddlesome eunuch would leave her alone, he’s making things far too complicated for her liking.

    (Mostly follows canon, but with Maomao as the Imperial Brother’s concubine)

    Summary

    Xia whispered, her eyes gleaming. “I saw the Moon Prince in the medicinal library. With that strange little apothecary.”

    Fen’s face fell slightly. “So? He’s always consulting her about poisons and boring things. He has terrible taste in companions.”

    “He wasn’t consulting,” Xia insisted, leaning closer. “He was… touching her face. And he was smiling. Not his court smile. His real one. And she didn’t even slap his hand away. She just… got quiet.”

    Fen stared, the implication dawning slowly. “The Moon Prince? And Apothecary Maomao?” She let out a disbelieving snort. “Don’t be ridiculous, Xia. He could have any beauty in the court. Why would he waste a real smile on her? You probably saw him checking for a fever. He’s very… diligent.”

    “It wasn’t a medical check!” Xia hissed, frustrated. “I know what I saw!”

    But Fen was already shaking her head, rearranging a pillow. “You’ve been reading too many romantic scrolls. The light was probably playing tricks on you. Now, help me with this bolster. The Consort will be back soon.”

    Xia bit her lip, the secret now feeling heavy and useless. She had seen it. The fleeting, unguarded truth.

    Summary

    Of all the odd patrons she had seen and had - perhaps nothing could ever be stranger than the former Crown Prince - Moon Prince of Li - the Emperor's brother, regularly dropping more than a hundred silvers fortnightly to sleep in the lap of her apothecary granddaughter, Maomao.

    Summary

    Lakan has no earthly idea what possessed him to come to the garden party, but some star smiled upon him indeed. There is but one living face in the world for Lakan to see and, though she has grown greatly since last he saw her, there is no mistaking his daughter sitting behind the honored consort. It nearly breaks his heart just to see her: in formal garb she looks every inch her mother’s daughter, down to the cunning expression on her face. She looks into her bowl as her mother would look at a gaming table, seeing many moves into the future. So he is not surprised when she announces the meal is poisoned, for he was already out of his chair when she decided to drink it.

    How would the story change if Lakan had attended the spring party and seen his daughter in the Rear Palace? How does his persistence change Maomao's view of herself, the world, and her place in it? A story in which Jinshi is not as subtle as he thinks he is, but that's okay because Maomao would rather drink poison than commit a single moment's self-reflection.
