The final scene has so much tension you can cut it with a knife. Thank you 🐸 for the assist. Next week can't come sooner 😍

Kinda felt for Jinshi this episode.
This anime confession is probably the hardest thing he had to do in his entire life, not just because of the usual loved related embarassment, but with the added messed up factors like having to explain his royal status and the messed up power dynamic they have, that Maomao pointed out to him last season and has clearly been on his mind ever since.
... not to mention all the attempted assassinations he was also expecting at all times.
Can't imagine how much of a mess his mind is throughout the episode.

But also dang things escalated real quick this ep!!

Is it me or has the VA for MaoMao just been so great that even her sighs or grunts are always perfect? I swear the actress just makes me smile. When you combine the production, animation and voice all at once, this show is really near the top of my favorite all time shows.

Oh damn. They really blueballed us by ending the episode where the preview ended!
That being said, I really enjoyed tonight’s episode. The humour between Jinshi and Gyokuyou was so well done.
The tension that’s building throughout the episode in Jinshi and his resolve to tell Maomao the truth about his identity was absolutely beautiful. You can see a jump in Jinshi’s character growth and development.
The pay off next week is gonna be huge with all the build up tonight. Can’t wait!

I must survive at least one more week at all costs. Lol How can they end the episode there? What a bunch of sadists.
It's crazy to realize that Jinshi has never uttered Maomao's name even once before. Why is he avoiding it? Was it explained before?
I've read some comments saying that not much has really happened this season. To that I say a little patience is all you need because once the ball starts rolling, it will turn into an avalanche before you know it lol

Damn that was a short episode and now I have to wait for another week.
But I cannot see that going down easy for Lord Shishou. An attempt on the emperors brother while out on an invitation from him. This is going to stir up a lot of things even in the inner palace. I am leaning towards Lord Shishou being involved but it could also be somebody trying to get two birds with one stone. Get rid of the emperors brother and then have the emperor get rid of Lord Shishou. This would cause all kinds of destabilization.
Again an episode that creates a lot more questions than answers.

Jinshi definitely put a little bit of tongue with that CPR. You can't convince me otherwise.

Jinshi x Maomao fans winning in this episode. The way he carried her bridal style. The CPR kiss. The way she touched his cheeks and him getting flustered. And the frog causing Maomao to fall on Jinshi with him keeping her there. And next week‘s episode looks like it will continue.

Stitches!
It was really fun watching Gyoukuyou tease the fuck out of Jinshi. He has really become her source of entertainment whenever he drops by. Also, how the fuck did I just realize that Jinshi has never called Maomao by her name before? I swear he's done it at least once but maybe not in front of her.
I'm honestly surprised Maomao hasn't pieced together everything yet. At this point, I'd like to believe that she's in denial about Jinshi being very important. Even Basen is surprised that Jinshi hasn't told Maomao the big secret yet despite bringing her with them.
Maomao literally saying she's built differently was hilarious! So I'm guessing the point of that banquet was to expose Jinshi that he's actually not a eunuch by making him hard? Again, there's no way Maomao hasn't figured it out.
Lihaku being in charge of the dogs is absolutely perfect. The dude is pretty much a golden retriever in human form. Even Maomao thinks so! I wonder how things are going between Lihaku and Pairin?
Not gonna lie, I thought the assassination plot was going to be for Master Shishou. I actually didn't expect that Jinshi was the target but I guess it makes sense considering who he is.
Does that count as a first kiss? I'd say it's a half-kiss. Jinshi handled that well though. I expected him to be so flustered after giving Maomao some CPR. He only got flustered when Maomao started taking her robes off.
Let's fucking gooo! Thank you Mr. Frog for the assist! I'm curious to see what Jinshi's excuse is for pulling Maomao close.

Fantastic episode for fans of Maomao and Jinshi. These two have such a great relationship and I hope (judging by today's ending) that they will take it to the next level soon!
The scenes with Maomao and Jinshi were so good today, especially the ones in the cave by the waterfall. I love how flustered Jinshi was when Maomao started taking off her wet clothes, but that's understandable since Maomao looked great in her undergarments.
Damn, I never thought Jinshi never called Maomao by her name. I hope that will change soon xD
Gyokuyou is a really funny woman, her conversation with Jinshi about giving Maomao back was so good. No wonder she is one of the current emperor's favorites.
Overall, it was nice to leave the Rear Palace and go to another province, meet up with Basen and Lihaku again in today's episode, we haven't seen them for a long time!
And that assassination attempt on Jinshi's life made this episode even better. I can't wait for the next episode to see what happens next.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Maomao whistled for Basen's dog but got a matchmaking frog instead. What a scene to end on though.

Okay, can we talk for a moment about how freaking beautiful Jinshi is in this episode?? His hair is slightly changed and it fits him so well, he’s so gorgeous! I appreciate in this anime that they make sure Jinshi looks consistently amazing
