I haven't read the manga, but my take on the pin is that it's like a "protection token", a signal that Maomao is under Jinshi's protection so if anyone were to mess with her they'd be also messing with him. Of course I can be wrong, or it could be that *and* more, guess I'll find out later.

[@Ozai75]

You'll find out more about the pins. They do have a meaning behind them!

[@eigenvalue5775]

Ugh. I'm disappointed that the freckles were a survival "camouflage." I loved Maomao's facial blemishes! Waaah!

[@0th_Law]

In the case of Lishu (the young, specifically 14-year-old concubine), her position currently is entirely political, thankfully. The Emperor doesn't... _visit_ her.

[@cyshtoph]

Why do you spoil the plot?

[@MiyashiruX]

Lolishu becomes an adult next year but even then I doubt the emperor will visit her because he has... certain tastes in women~ I doubt Lishu will grow any taller by then but other parts of her can still grow in a few more years~

[@heyimv3833]

Thankfully his preferences is not like the previous emperor.

[@Anne-xu2je]

Bro gotta spoil it for her😠

[@Anne-xu2je]

I think she keeps her freckles to avoid becoming a lower concubine , since even servants can be one right? But im not sure since it wasn't really mentioned why in the manga..

[@jandex4838]

Yep, this is it. And it is not just freckles, Maomao also uses other cosmetics tricks and techniques to make herself look plainer.

[@ablekwok9130]

Girls get married at 13-15 is common in the ancient China, of course that's why they died so young too.

[@owomushi_vr]

She is now considered an adult. Apart from raising the status of women hairpins were and still are an important symbol in Chinese culture. In the rite of passage, hairpins play an import role. In ancient China, the use of hairpins was an important thing for a girl in her life. There would be a rite of passage when she was fifteen years old, because when girls grow to fifteen years old, they will be treated as adults. Before fifteen they are just girls or children. This was called the “Hairpin initiation” or “笄禮”.

[@jsmith6599]

Yeah, you get it right: concubine Lolishu is REALLY young. I won't say more for now.

[@nataliereeves3594]

The small one is a concubine but she's only 14.

[@MewDenise]

People wanna comment the little ones age and forget this is a historical drama. Yes, gross men had s with kids back then.

[@BunnyGirl1552]

Her freckles were show she was lower class and work out in sun, compared to the concubines smooth skins and are never had to work. Im not going to get into the whole system how all that works.

[@BH94112]

Feckless are never been pretty in any timeline

[@lightnina5912]

maomao continued to do her "uglifier" make up because she really,really never be even 1% chance to be one of the empror bed compagnions....

[@Ozai75]

She doesn't believe that the Emperor will attack her, at that point it's just habit, but before it was to help prevent her from being r*ped.

[@MiyashiruX]

Spoiler The emperor has certain cultural tastes and is one of the reasons why Consort Lishu is still not taken but he did once entertained the idea of making MaoMao his consort for a certain test but refrained from doing so because he didn't want to make an enemy of her father.
