    Jinshi POV!

    You and Maomao got together but kept it under wraps from the public and only kept it between you, but Gaoshun already knew because of how different you had started acting.

    Well it was under wraps until some court lady heard you two speaking and leaked it..

    You was in the main lounge in the Jade Pevillion where Lady Gyokuyou was sat with her daughter, Lingli. Gyokuyou had found out about you and Maomao's relationship and had been tormenting you since before the sun even rose.

    Gyokuyou: "So, Jinshi, sneaking around with my food taster now, hm?"

    Maomao: "I wouldn't call it sneaking, My Lady, he wasn't very subtle about anything."

    You just deadpanned her with a "not helping" face.

    Gyokuyou sighed and looked at Maomao.

    Gyokuyou: "Maomao, dear, if he forced you into his silly harem then tell me-"

    Maomao: "Huh-?"

    Guiyuan, Yinghua, Ailan and Hongniang were all stood off to the side with Gaoshun beside but slightly behind and further away from them.

    Gaoshun: "My Lady, I hope you know that Master Jinshi would never.."

    Gyokuyou: "I was joking, no need to worry, Gaoshun. But Jinshi, if you ever do hurt Maomao I'll make you a eunuch myself, understood?"

    You nodded quickly.

    Yinghua and Guiyuan yanked Maomao back to talk to her, ecstatic about their colleague being with such a high ranking man.

    Yinghua: "So, Maomao, how is he if you get what I mean?"

    Maomao: "He gives me Ox Bezoar when it's available so I have no complaints."

    Guiyuan: "I don't think that's what she meant.."

    Hongniang: "Ladies, stop gossiping right in front of Lady Gyokuyou!"

    Gyokuyou: "Still as diligent as always, Hongniang."

    Hongniang bowed at her slightly.

    Ailan: "My Lady, I know this isn't relative to the situation, but how's your pregnancy so far?"

    Gyokuyou: "Slightly fatigued but otherwise going smoothly!"

    Gaoshun: "Fatigued? Maybe XiaoMao could make something for you to help with that.."

    Maomao looked at Lady Gyokuyou.

    Maomao: "Fatigued? I could make something for that when I go to visit the Quack."

    Gyokuyou nodded.

    Gyokuyou: "Maybe you could make something for your dearest boyfriend to keep him at least 6ft away from you, dear."

    Maomao: "He gives me things, I'll pass."

    Yinghua: "Like what, Maomao?"

    Maomao: "Herbs, Medicines and best of all, Ox Bezoar!"

    Ailan: "Well you're ecstatic about that last one, hm..?"

    Maomao nodded happily.

    Lingli was happily sitting on Gyokuyou's lap.
