Seems like I somewhat underestimated the hairpins, but on the other hand, I think it's also quite ceremonial, in the end, since it's kind of doubful the emperor's harem would be a free for all place, even if it's just a maid. The truth is the emperor could, at any time, lock his eyes on any of them women there to take them and promote if he wanted to. If those women were "sullied" by outsiders already, it would be kind of strange. Thus I think the women simply make a big deal out of it since their lives in the harem grounds are kind of empty and boring, mostly. Of course if a woman leaves the harem, it's a different thing, but I already covered that in my earlier comment, so that part wasn't an underestimation.

Maomao played that idiot like a fiddle, better saying he wasn't even a player just an instrument for her desire.

Can the hairpin also mean love token? lololol 😂😂😂

It feels like it does.

I mean, looking at the 3 maids' reactions like "how was it with him?" "to think you'd do it before us.." Maybe they think she's getting engaged or something hhahahaha

Men not allowed in the harem buildings because you can't risk randoma knocking up emperor's concubines or attendants.


But why are the maids allowed to leave with just the hairpin. She could go out and who knows what happens. Then what?

So the hair-pin is basically an invitation to go out and fuck... right? Escort token.
And Mao2 may or may not know what it means... BUT she has diverted any potential lustful aspect of the pin away from herself by using her brothel connections to basically give this officer a VIP whorehouse pass... right?
BUT she hasn't told the other women about her special arrangement, so they all think she is going out to get fucked?

Yep, her circumstances are different from many other ladies in harem.....poison tester job and all that so, she basically risks her life least twice a day. It's better for her to just leave.

P.s Mc is a free bird in a cage rn. A bird with claws and skills close to a half matured hawks baby. Though her personality something resembles to a serpent as well.

How about explain things to her for all the great things she has been doing for you all...Jesus!!! I hate people like that. If you see someone doesn't know something and you actually care about them...say something..they are just using this girl till she dies and it shows.
