Jinshi POV!

Taking place while Maomao is in your mansion (late season 1.)

Lady Gyokuyou and her ladies in waiting had noticed something was wrong with the Jade Pavilion and it was discovered that black mold had been growing inside the walls, you was given the green light to let them stay in your mansion for the time being.

---

Gyokuyou had been given a key to your mansion and was escorted alongside her Ladies by one of the Eunuchs.

They all entered and was greeted by Suiren and Gaoshun.

Suiren: "Welcome ladies, I hope you have a comfortable stay."

Gaoshun: "Some rooms have been prepared a bit away from Master Jinshi's so you have your own privacy, but there's a lounge room between the two areas."

Gyokuyou: "That's so sweet! Thank you both."

Her ladies were behind her all talking.

Ailan: "Oh wow this place is big.."

Guiyuan: "It looks like it's bigger than the Jade Pavilion.."

Yinghua was looking around while stood in place until she saw Maomao.

Yinghua: "Maomao!"

She happily ran over, hugging her.

Maomao: "Oh, hello."

Hongniang: "So why haven't you been at the Jade pavilion little lady?"

Maomao: "I'm working here at the minute for Master Jinshi."

Ailan: "You do know how many women must be jealous of you, right, Maomao?"

Maomao: "I encountered that on my first day in the outer circle.."

Gaoshun chuckled to himself before leading the women to their rooms, all had one each and were fully furnished, already set out and comfortable.

Gyokuyou: "Hey, Gaoshun?"

Gaoshun: "Yes, my lady?"

Gyokuyou: "Where's Jinshi?"

Gaoshun: "Either asleep or in his office."

Suiren: "He worked very late last night so I'd assume he's asleep."

Gyokuyou nodded while Maomao instantly got the thought of the Ladies in waiting seeing you in all of your weirdly etherealness being seen half asleep by something similar to a pack of hungry wolves, especially based on how nearly every woman in the kingdom seemed to adore you.

Maomao: "This is going to be a trainwreck.."

Yinghua looked at her.

Yinghua: "What is?"

You woke up, got your clothes on and walked in but everyone could tell you were half asleep.

Gyokuyou: "Now that's a face I've not seen for a good while.."

Hongniang: "He looks weirdly adorable.."
