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 Qing Dynasty, this meant that the embroideresses of various residences had infinite wisdom!


After seeing Ye Zao's clothing at the Gold Festival, the embroideresses in every residence were showing their unique skills.


The main point is that if the most favored lady in the palace can dress this way, then everyone else making slight modifications to their clothing shouldn't be an issue, right?


Originally, since the Manchu entered the pass, they have absorbed a lot of the Han people's clothing culture.


When they were in Liaodong, their clothing was quite simple.


No matter how much dross there might be in Han history, the wisdom in their clothing and jewelry is endless.


So, Ye Zao's outfit quickly became popular in the Capital.


She wore short jackets, so the embroideresses among the imperial clan created long styles, medium styles, and vests.
