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

The twenty days before the new year passed in relative tranquility; there were no incidents, either in the palace or in the residence.


On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, I ceased writing and didn't attend the imperial court.


It wouldn't be until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that I would start attending court again.


On the thirtieth day, Imperial Doctor Liu entered Qianqing Palace alone.


Emperor Kangxi reclined on the couch, silently watching as Imperial Doctor Liu knelt down.


"Your servant wishes His Majesty peace and auspiciousness," Imperial Doctor Liu said, somewhat fearful, but he tried to keep his voice steady.


"Since Liu Aiqing is here, I naturally should be auspicious," Emperor Kangxi replied indifferently, yet his words were laden with heavy sarcasm.


"Your servant... your servant requests to feel His Majesty's pulse," Imperial Doctor Liu said as he crawled forward a few steps.
