Whistling Autumn Wind

In the first episode, Little Palace Maid Lian Hua, holding tea leaves, thought to curry favor with Zhaoyi. The Emperor intercepted her halfway, and before she could react, he hijacked her tea leaves, leaving her bewildered.
In the second episode, she wanted to curry favor with the Noble Consort. During the Noble Consort's birthday feast, she hadn't even presented the meticulously prepared tea leaves before the Emperor seized them, leaving her aggrieved.
In the third episode, she had just sneaked out with the Palace Maids to pick bamboo shoots, planning to go back and cook something delicious when the Emperor burst out of nowhere wanting to freeload a meal. If it wasn't tasty, he would punish her, she managed to barely pass muster by exerting all her energy. Before she could feel relieved, the Emperor told her he was also staying to sleep!
This time, he was thoroughly taking advantage of her, enjoying free food and lodging without the slightest intention of rewarding her.
At night, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. All the silver she had saved up in earlier years had been used to sustain the Emperor. Now that the money was gone, she feared being punished for not being able to support him in the future. The more she thought, the sadder she got, her tears plopping down, which woke the Emperor sleeping beside her.
In a flurry, the Emperor consoled her, "There, there, don't cry, don't cry. I haven't even had time to reward you, how could I punish you!"
After much consoling, and finally with his promise to provide for her sustenance, she turned her tears into laughter.
The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. This Little Concubine would need to be favored properly from now on—he dared not make her cry again.

Palace Fighting: Naive Concubines' Ascent to Power

Hearing the words "Huaqing Pool" and "fish," Lian Hua lifted her eyes to glance at His Majesty. Was he finally permitting her to fish?


Ever since she had inadvertently blurted out her desires, she had been strictly forbidden by His Majesty from fishing in Huaqing Pool again. It had been a long time since she had tasted the fish from there.


Thinking back, she couldn't help but miss it. The fish there was delicate, extremely plump and fresh. Just a slight steaming, topped with some green onion strips and a drizzle of sauce, and poking your chopsticks into the belly of the fish would make oil ooze out.


As she thought of this, Lian Hua couldn't help but swallow her saliva, feeling even hungrier. So she asked His Majesty for confirmation, "Your Majesty, you said it yourself. 'An emperor's word is law,' you cannot go back on it, can you?"


Seeing that she finally reacted, the Emperor suppressed his heartache for the rare fish of Huaqing Pool and nodded with a smile.
