The final line of Ep.7 suggests that Maomao has some sort of connection to the inner palace other than working in it.
Fans wonder if Maomao’s dad worked in the inner palace.
The boldest theories suggest that Maomao is a princess, secreted away by her adoptive father for some reason.
The Apothecary Diaries keeps fans guessing and throws in hints that we happily add to our theories. Could Maomao be a princess? Sure, let’s discuss that possibility.
Maomao’s Father
Maomao loves her father dearly. She was smiling from the moment she entered their house. However, when she was asleep, her dad said that Maomao working at the inner palace was a twist of fate. Fans immediately took that cryptic phrase to make many, many theories connected to it.
Is Maomao Adopted?
A lot of fans took the old man’s words to mean that he was a part of the inner palace back in the day. After all, the inner palace needs an apothecary, and Maomao’s father is probably at least as brilliant as Maomao herself.
That, naturally, would imply that he is a eunuch, which would make Maomao likely adopted. The flashback where Maomao runs after her dad also supports this theory since her dad looks rather old while Maomao is just a tiny child. In other words, Episode 7 could imply that Maomao is adopted.
Is Maomao a Princess?
After that, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that Maomao could have been born in the inner palace. Some fans make bold theories about Maomao actually being a princess, possibly rejected by her father or with questionable parentage. In that case, Maomao’s dad could have saved her from the inner palace when she was just a child.
However, some fans do not like that idea. For one, they want Maomao to rise on her own merits and not because of some secret royal bloodline. And for another, most fans are already sure that Jinshi is both Maomao’s love interest and the Emperor’s brother. That wouldn’t work well with Maomao also being a princess.
Theorizing about Maomao is a lot of fun, and we are looking forward to checking if our ideas are close to the truth at all.
