Xiaolan, whose service period in the rear palace is soon ending, is looking for job opportunities. Maomao and Shisui suggest making connections at the palace’s bathhouse, where she can gain access to conversations with concubines through massages and hair removal services. The group uses the relaxed atmosphere to gather rumors: alongside speculation about Gyokuyou’s and Lihua’s pregnancies, the rumor circulates that the high-ranking concubine Loulan might also be pregnant.

Meanwhile, new eunuchs are introduced—former slaves from foreign lands—who are responsible for the bathhouse logistics. Their presence sparks curiosity, especially in Xiaolan, who hears about an attractive eunuch. At the same time, the group encounters the timid concubine Lishu, who visits the public bathhouse due to "ghost apparitions" in the Diamond Pavilion. Maomao helps Lishu with her hair care and learns that the ghost in her pavilion’s bathing area is tormenting her.

The episode ends with a hint at solving this mystery, while Maomao’s networking activities in the bathhouse provide both job opportunities for Xiaolan and valuable information for Gyokuyou.
