Hey everyone! Here it is - my reaction to episode 7 of The Apothecary Diaries! Wow, the aftermath of the garden party was not what I was expecting!!! We still don't have a solid answer for who tried to poison Lishu. And meanwhile, Maomao is learning the meaning of hairpins and what they can do for her! I was so impressed by her bargaining skills lol, and I'm so happy she gets to go home and see her dad! I've been worried about that from the beginning!! Can't wait to see more! Great ep! Enjoy! ~ MH

That sneaky kind of bullying is the worst. The ones you have to rely on are the ones wishing for your downfall. I know it’s not the typical freedom but I’m glad Maomao is able to make do with what she has.

For real!!! I know firsthand! It's so bad to think that their job was to take care of her and they did that instead. I know, I'm glad Maomao at least gets something!!!

What a great episode. The hairpins don’t just mean the authority to leave the rest palace. The background drawing when Maomao’s servant friend speaks of the option has a lady in the palace and a male outside the palace walls. Then it shows the lady exiting to the man and a drawn cute heart between the two. Lihaku’s line when he received Maomao’s message was ‘wonder how I should turn her down’. And of course, Gyokuyou’s amusement in telling Jinshi that Maomao left with another man. On another note, the hairpin material also represents the status of the person it came from. Rose quartz was from Lihua and Gyokuyou, and the silver one was from the scene with Jinshi. The military soldier specifically says that they’re of higher status than him. Bold move by the way, for Maomao to basically taunt him with her ‘other contacts’. This show remains accurate, as during the Concubine Fuyou episode #3, it was seen as disdain for her to get released from the rear palace and be given to her own military officer of a lover. The show’s very realistic about protraying both the lights of life and the restrictions & cruelty of their society.

Oh ok, good to know the hairpins do have other meanings! That's so interesting about the materials too! That makes a lot of sense. Hahaha Maomao meant business during those negotiations! Also it is sad but also realistic the way things like that are portrayed here!
