Way sooner than expected! And this should be roughly equivalent to the latter half of arc 9 of the webnovel version 🙂
There’s also a limited edition that comes bundled with another drama CD.
It comes with three tracks:
1) Jade Palace Girls Talk
Maomao is having afternoon tea with Jade Palace attendants Infa, Gui’en and Airan. Gui’en sparks a girls talk session by asking, “Was there anyone good at the garden party?”
2/3) The Mystery of the Sake Bottle
Maomao had been dismissed from being a palace lady at the inner palace and is now employed as Jinshi’s personal attendant. She heads to the pleasure district with Jinshi and Gaoshun in tow, going after the mystery of the broken sake bottle that had been left behind by an enigmatic person at the side of a well at dawn. And there, she comes across…?!

Maomao: Yuuki Aoi

On a side note, yes, the webnovel has resumed. There are currently four chapters out as of today. It looks like we’ll be looking into who will be succeeding as the next leader of the western capital. Will it be Gyoku’ou’s second son or his third son? Shall we cast lots? What is the prodigal first son up to, anyways?
The continuation of the translation has been picked up by Duchess. You can find it here: https://knhtranslations.wordpress.com/ or on the kusuriya discord server.
…There’s actually a lot of things happening on discord, so do come visit when you can!
Also, if you’re wondering what I’m up to, I’m part of the scanlation team that working on the GX version of the manga. I’m still around, for better or worse hahahahaha
