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

In the afternoon, after the ladies of the Jueluo Clan left, Ye Zao looked in on her son, then went to sleep.


On the carriage, Ye Ying asked, "Sister-in-law, that child is the Twentieth Prince, but won't our eldest sister suffer a loss?"


"What do you think?" the lady from the Jueluo Clan asked with a smile.


"I... I don't think so. His Majesty is a good person," Ye Ying said, nodding seriously.


The lady from the Jueluo Clan couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl. Alright, you're still young and don't understand these things," she said, pulling her into an embrace. "You'll understand when you're older."


Whether His Majesty was a good person wasn't the point...


It was Lady Ming's intelligence that mattered.


Although, the lady from the Jueluo Clan thought, most women wouldn't dare to do what she did.


But then again, she reflected that their family's master wasn't His Majesty, so they didn't need to be so overly cautious.
