Snowy Retrospect

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence?
Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough!
Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

The Favorite Mate of Prince

Princess Wuh was dressed in a peach-red cotton robe, and over it, she wore a cream-white cloak. On her hairpin, she used kingfisher jewelry as decoration.


Princess Yin also wore peach-red, but the embroidery on her clothes was significantly different. The cloak draped over her shoulders was tender green, and her jewelry was gold-plated.


Ye Zao rose to pay her respects, "Wishing Princess Yin and Princess Wuh auspiciousness."


Just as Princess Yin was about to speak, Princess Wuh smiled and said, "Little sister Ye's outfit is indeed pretty, but the jewelry is somewhat plain."


Does that mean she's making things difficult?


Ye Zao pouted and stood up straight away, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess Wuh. I naturally cannot compare to you, as you are adorned with kingfisher jewelry."


Seeing to her rise, Princess Wuh was slightly displeased. However, if a princess were to punish a concubine, the one who would ultimately lose face would not be the concubine.
