Maomao Becomes the Emperor's Consort!? Jinshi's Agitation Sparks Reactions: "Desperate! LOL" "His Panic is Adorable" - Episode 31 of the Anime "The Apothecary Diaries"

"In the anime "The Apothecary Diaries" episode 31, broadcast on February 21 (currently airing), there is a scene where the Emperor (CV:Daichi Endo) suggests making Maomao (CV:Aoi Yuki) his consort. This causes Jinshi (CV:Takeo Otsuka) to clearly become flustered, and online, fans were buzzing with comments like "Jinshi is raising his voice, LOL" and "He's really panicking."

In Episode 31, "The Shrine of Choice," Maomao and Jinshi are taken by the Emperor to the "Shrine of Choice." It is said that only those who choose the correct path can become leaders of this land, and it was once used as a rite of passage. Inside, there are mechanisms involving colored doors.

The Emperor immediately attempts the Shrine of Choice but fails. Maomao realizes how to choose the correct path and asks the old eunuch managing the shrine (CV: Yoshito Yasuhara) if she can go through once more, but is refused because she is merely a maid.
