Overview:
The special envoy from a foreign land gifts mirrors – a rarity in this country – to the high concubines. However, they bring mysteries as well.
Our Take:
The last two episodes have been awesome, I love the “mystery of the week” vibes we’ve been getting. This week we learned of a father who had two daughters who looked similar and he was protective of them. Once they came of age he didn’t allow them to leave the house, not even accompanied. He has them watched at all times of the day and locked away at night. So you can imagine his surprise when one of them claims to be pregnant.
Maomao comes up with the theory that the daughters might have used a mirror to confuse their watchers so one of them could sneak out at a time. From what I could tell the mystery wasn’t solved quite yet so hopefully, we see the conclusion next time.
There was also the beginning of a new mystery at the end of the episode. A girl was digging out at night and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this series it’s that often leads to a mystery involving a curse.
