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 Gui, by now, was also the wife of a Fourth-Rank Prefect, and although she hadn't yet received a formal command, it wouldn't be proper for her to directly seek an audience in the imperial palace. Nevertheless, she was certainly more confident than before.


Therefore, although she couldn't request an audience, she sent word to the palace to inform Ye Zao that she was planning to head south to Guangdong at the end of the month.


Once she departed, it would likely be several years before they could see each other again.


Upon hearing the news, Ye Zao sent many items to her as congratulatory gifts.


"Uncle has gone to Jiangning, and my younger sister is leaving for Guangdong; in this Capital, it seems it will be just my brother and me left," Ye Zao sighed.
