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

"Ah, really?" Lian Hua exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't seen His Majesty for quite some time, although he had visited last night, she hadn't seen him, so it didn't count.


Xiao Jizi secretly let out a sigh of relief, it looked like the Young Master was truly alright.


He had been causing mischief on purpose just now, wanting to see the Young Master's reaction. Now, seeing that it was still the same as usual, it was too good to be true.


Xiao Qing added on the side, "Yes, Young Master, it was Steward Zhang who personally delivered the decree."


Lian Hua got excited and automatically and consciously ignored her thoughts from yesterday—whether His Majesty came or not, she was perfectly fine pretending to be indifferent.


Even before breakfast, her mind was already contemplating what to prepare for His Majesty for dinner.


What exactly should she cook? Hmm... She really had to think this through. She needed everyone to put their heads together, to offer ideas and strategies.
