The more I watch, the more I realize this is just your typical imperial court-genre C-drama in anime form. Not that I am complaining.

At first I thought Jinshi was a eunuch but that due to anime pretty boy logic they'd ignore the biological reality of being one, but since this anime is doing a good job with its medical knowledge of the times that would be an odd thing to overlook. So maybe he is the Emperor's brother, nephew, or some kind of relative and that's why he has the authority and privledge of being in charge without being a eunuch. Although the alternative is he was made into a Eunuch into his adult life after puberty but if that was the case I think the show would point it out. BTW freckles back then were seen as less attractive due to it being a sign of less wealth and being well off, basically back then poor pheasants had to work all day in the field and thus would have darker skin/freckles. While rich well off people could afford to stay indoors. Nowadays its the opposite because having a tan and being fit means you don't work a soul crushing 9-5 cubicle office job.

I think the hairpin could be seen as a marriage/bethrothal gift or it could be a way to protect her from the rest of the palace as basically a statement of "See this chick, she's mine, if you fuck with her you are fucking with me."

Also now we know why the old lady at the Brothel was constantly asking her to join the other working girls...she knows that Mao Mao is a cutie.

The way Jinshi was acting when he heard Maomao's backstory definitely seemed like he was someone up high enough in their hierarchy that he would feel the need to apologize for not being able to "police" those criminals. Jinshi seems to be the type of character who is probably more important than what we're initially led to believe, yet he prefers to live his life a bit more carefree instead of distancing himself from people.
