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

Fourth Master watched as Ye Zao drank the soup, then went to check on the sleeping Fifth Prince before he finally left.


The next day, the Empress was summoned by the Empress Dowager.


"Greetings to the Imperial Mother, may the Imperial Mother be auspicious," the Empress bowed.


"Rise and take a seat," the Empress Dowager waved her hand.


Ever since the birth of the Fifth Prince, the Empress Dowager hadn't really done anything.


When the Fourth Prince was born, she'd held him for a glance, and that made His Majesty angry. This time, she had long forbidden Ming Pin from entering Shoukang Palace, so she hadn't seen the child either.


"Ming Pin's child has been born for over twenty days now, have you seen him?" the Empress Dowager asked.


"Your daughter-in-law has seen him once. His downy hair is dark and glossy, he's a good child," the Empress smiled.
