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

Cai Xia felt a surge of irritation. Indeed, Beauty Li had no understanding of the rules. If she had known this brazenness earlier, she would have advised the Consort to let her stand outside for a few more Shichen. It was only due to the Consort's kindness that the summons came after less than one Shichen, and yet Beauty Li remained clueless.


Nanny Sun followed respectfully, bowing her head. Sensing Cai Xia's gaze, she worried about her mistress making a blunder, so she glanced at Beauty Li and saw her peeking stealthily, which prompted Nanny Sun to hasten her steps to catch up with her mistress, tugging at her gently.


Beauty Li turned around, and Nanny Sun gave her a look, which Beauty Li quickly understood. Despite being in the presence of a servant, Nanny Sun was reminding her to show respect.


Reluctane seeped into her heart; after all, the servant was just a servant. Looking around shouldn't be a big deal, and she, a renowned Beauty, shouldn't need to fear her.
