A peaceful day in the life of the apothecary.
A calm Inner Court, free of incidents and conspiracies. While the Inner Court is usually bustling with activity, today is strangely quiet. The consorts enjoy tea in the garden, the maids decorate with flowers, and Maomao spends a leisurely time tending to her medicinal herbs. Jinshi visits to check on Maomao during a break from work, while Gaoshun watches over the two with a gentle smile. Consort Gyokuyou and Consort Lifa hold a tea party together, joined by Consort Lishu for a peaceful afternoon. Furthermore, Consort Loulan, who changes her hairstyle and attire according to her mood, joins in, making the Inner Court atmosphere even more glamorous than usual. Looking at flowers, eating sweets, and laughing over trivial stories. Such an ordinary day feels like it could last forever—. This is a story where no one gets hurt, no one is doubted, and everyone simply spends their time laughing together. Another gentle tale from "The Apothecary Diaries."
