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

Ye Mingyuan ultimately did not leave the Capital before the presentation of the gold festival.


Even now, placing great importance on his youngest son, it would not look good to just leave immediately after his eldest son's grand wedding.


So, one thing led to another, and it was after the festival by the time they were ready.


After a heavy snowfall, the weather suddenly turned cold, making the journey significantly harder. Maternal Aunt Su, carrying her big belly, was really not suited to travel with them.


The newly-wedded Lady Jueluo was very sensible and said to Lady Saimier, "Madam and master can leave with peace of mind. I will take care of Maternal Aunt Su until she gives birth. Second sister is also in the Capital; at the very least she can lend a hand. Although I have never borne a child and do not know the intricacies involved, fortunately, there are some experienced elders who do."


After all, she was a Manchu lady, not as reserved as a Han girl.
