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

The little hand of the Fifth Prince waved gently on Fourth Master's arm.


Fourth Master couldn't help but laugh, "Good child, grow up quickly, and Father will take you hunting."


At the current stage, hunting mattered less than a mouthful of milk to the sleepy Fifth Prince, who yawned.


Fourth Master teased him for a while longer and, seeing that the Fifth Prince was truly lacking energy, he called for someone to take him back.


The next morning, Ye Zao got up to wash and, after watching the wet nurse feed the Fifth Prince, called for someone to carry him along to Jingren Palace.


Along the way, Ye Zao pointed various sights out to the Fifth Prince.


The Fifth Prince lay on the wet nurse's shoulder, looking on earnestly.


As they approached Jingren Palace, Ye Zao said, "Just make sure to take good care of the child."


The wet nurse and maid busily acknowledged the instruction.


Before even entering Jingren Palace, they could see that everyone was already waiting outside.
