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

Ah Yuan nodded, "That's right, it wouldn't be appropriate for the master to visit Shoukang Palace right now. The Empress Dowager is not unkind to the younger generation. Having the Fifth Prince stay there for a while won't be an issue."


"However… when the Fourth Prince was born, didn't His Majesty issue a decree? Saying that a child under three months of age cannot leave their mother's palace?" Shan Hu added.


Ye Zao laughed and shook her head, "Who is the Empress Dowager? She is His Majesty's mother; even if her own son cannot control her, it's still possible."


"Alright, don't worry now, go and make tea for the master. The master wants to drink black tea, and now she can finally have a bit," Ah Yuan said with a smile and a wave of her hand.


Shan Hu nodded and left, not quite understanding in her heart, but she was sure that whatever the master and Sister Ah Yuan said was correct.
