Chilly Apothecary
Maomao moves into the household of Gyokuyō. She learns that one of her duties is to taste test all of the food brought to her mistress. Maomao used to test poisons on herself so she isn't terribly concerned about getting ill or dying from most poisons. She makes some suggestions about best practices.
Jinshi tries to keep Maomao in line by flirting with her only to discover that, unlike most women in the Rear Palace, she isn't attracted to him.
One of her other duties is making drugs. They have her make some food laced with aphrodisiacs.
Not bad but this is feeling a bit episodic at the moment. Hopefully there will be some longer running stories within this series.
