I like that she's just, "You're thinking of something. Tell me," rather than letting her think on her own.
On one hand, Mao Mao is being careful about not getting into trouble for doing things she should not be doing, but on the other hand, Gyokuyou is one of the most chill consorts, especially as far as Mao Mao is concerned. She's one of those who trusts the little stray cat.
Suggest it to Jinshi... What she means is, "Let's get another person to agree with Mao Mao." He trusts her even more. Mostly thanks to personal experience.
Lol, no
normal person could've raised Mao Mao. But to be fair,
that comes from her real father.
Maybe after extensive background research (which consort gyoku just did), but certainly you won't just say "oh he's a criminal? No problem. He could be my toddler's babysitter" After you just found out.
While I agree with you, that's not quite comparable. The suggestion came from Mao Mao, and Gyokuyou trusts her well enough to know she wouldn't suggest something like that without a solid reason.
