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 left Shoukang Palace, visibly perturbed and with no clear destination.


He initially intended to visit Ye Zao, but knowing she was still confined for childbirth, he feared upsetting her would be harmful to her health.


"To Changchun Palace," Fourth Master turned his head and commanded.


In Changchun Palace resided Noble Lady Xi and Noble Lady Geng.


Su Peisheng promptly echoed, "His Majesty the Emperor is heading to Changchun Palace."


A grand procession thus made its way there.


Inside Changchun Palace, Noble Lady Xi and Noble Lady Geng hurriedly came out to pay their respects.


Fourth Master waved them off, "Rise, all of you. I've come to see the Fourth Prince."


Noble Lady Xi, beaming with joy, accompanied Fourth Master inside.


Noble Lady Geng watched the retreating backs of Fourth Master and Noble Lady Xi, feeling a profound sadness.


She entered her own room with the help of a servant.
