this was when Maomao was fired from the rear palace and was now forced to be a courtesan with her sisters. She hates it to say the least but on her first night she was preforming at a restaurant with her sisters when she noticed Jinshi (one of the prince’s from the place she used to work at) and decided to go talk to him not knowing he would end up buying her later to have her back at the palace as his assistant

Meimei: hm.. Maomao can you go check up on that guy? He looks a little down.

Joka: nods in agreement he does seem down. And he looks cute too.

Pairin: grins and nods maybe you’ll have your first customer!
