Genuine question, does somebody know if they really used baths without getting naked or is it just to avoid ecchi scenes?
I feel like bathing with clothes on would be somewhat unpleasant.

I wouldn't put it past ancient China palace regulations. They worked really hard to differentiate themselves from commoners. In the brothel scene they all bathed naked, including Maomao.

I'm starting to suspect Shisui is either Loulan, or related to Loulan. Given the emperor's preferences for well-endowed women, her eye and hair colour seeming similar, knowing too much for a servant girl and the rumours this ep...

If it's the latter, maybe it even has to do something with the twins story from earlier? Maybe the blond twins were a red herring?

Shisui = Loulan is my theory as well.

  • Loulan is extremely private, not really leaving her pavilion unless she has to. Also, hardly talks at all in public
  • Shisui is oddly knowledgeable about tons of stuff that a normal servant girl wouldn't be (Maomao even compared her to Gyokuyou this episode)
  • Shisui deftly avoided coming face to face with Lishu this episode, perhaps she would be too easily recognized
  • Mamao commented in the ghost stories episode about how good of an actress Shisui is
  • This episode they commented on how different her body looks when she is undressed

I think its very clear Shisui is hiding something and she didn't really enter the story at all until Loulan came to the rear palace. So, that is my theory of the case right now.

Yep, a slight suspicion started a few episodes ago for me, but with this episode it's a stronger suspicion. But with the rumours of Loulan being pregnant combined with the whole twin stuff not really having amounted to much so far, my theory of them being twins is starting to sound somewhat plausible too.
