i love this scene so much!! jinshi jealous because maomao didn’t ask him for a favor is so adorable and sweet. by now, maomao has worked almost a year at the rear palace alongside jinshi. he sees how talented she is & cares deeply for her. so, when maomao relies on lihaku and even jokes about spending the night with him, it BREAKS jinshi. he’s so dramatic and silly but it’s a reminder that he’s a young man who’s experiencing a crush for the first time. she doesn’t realize how much of a hold she has on jinshi & it makes their interactions that much better. i love jinmao so much!
