The Apothecary Diaries episode 17 recap
In episode 17 of The Apothecary Diaries, the narrative unfolds as Jinshi, the elegant eunuch, seeks to disguise himself as a commoner for a clandestine meeting near Hanamachi. Jinshi's surprising request for Maomao to apply makeup reflects his desire to diminish his natural beauty. Initially taken aback, Maomao realizes that Jinshi aims to blend in and approach the task with expertise.
The next day, Maomao prepares makeup supplies, ensuring Jinshi's transformation includes changing clothes and eliminating the fragrance of expensive incense sticks. The conversation highlights the importance of scent in social stratification, reminiscent of the practices in high-class brothels like the Verdigris house.
As Maomao completes Jinshi's disguise, Gaoshun informs her to leave, coincidentally aligning with her journey home to Hanamachi. Gaoshun suggests that she takes Jinshi along since their destinations align. Despite some hesitation, Maomao, known as Jinshi's personal maid, dons a disguise alongside him.
Accompanied by Basen, who posed as a secret bodyguard, Jinshi and Maomao enter the town. While strolling, they indulge in chicken skewers, during which Jinshi casually mentions a camp—a peculiar detail that catches Maomao's attention, considering eunuchs like Jinshi typically wouldn't attend such gatherings.
Upon reaching Jinshi's destination near a brothel, Maomao realizes the significance of Jinshi's disguise. In a quiet inn, Jinshi unveils the unsettling question that has been troubling him—how to reduce the worth of a courtesan. Maomao, acknowledging the discomfort of the topic, suggests tarnishing a courtesan's purity as an effective means.
