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

Throughout the morning, Lady Sun was almost stifled to death, prevented from speaking by the Empress Dowager's gaze.


Fortunately, other members of the Imperial Clan and Fujins were not so unreliable, and the situation gradually opened up after a few words.


After sitting for the entire morning, a banquet was held in Cining Palace.


The Grand Empress Dowager was as usual, speaking a few words to whoever she pleased, without any focus or meaning, conveying a sense of "It's your business, I don't care."


When it was time to leave, it could be seen that gathered around the Empress Dowager were Lady Wuya and her family, along with several elderly Fujins from the Imperial Clan.
