The second installment brings the same sense of mystery and comedy as the first volume, only this time you get to witness how Mao Mao solves an issue at a special party held in the palace. I liked this volume because you get to see how clueless and goofy Mao Mao can be while also being diligent and serious, and you get to see more of how the characters see her. The art style is beautiful, and I love how expressive the characters are.

4.0

This volume was great. I loved that 3/4 of the volume focused on one specific event (the Garden Party) so it didn't feel super rushed and was great for seeing more interaction between so many different elements: the four consorts, the various ladies-in-waiting, the emperor and his officials, etc. I also love that we're slowly starting to get into some of the darker subjects

(like why Maomao has her freckles and the realities that Consort Lishu and the Empress Dowager had to face as child brides essentially)

. Looking forward to the next volume!
