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

Nanny Sun nodded repeatedly, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and finally could speak of her true intentions, feeling extremely weary at heart.


Young Master Lian said apologetically, "I thought you had time to spare, Nanny. I misunderstood you. Since that's the case, Xiao Qing can see you out."


Then, turning to Nanny Sun, she said, "Please don't take offense, Nanny. We at Canglan Court are short-staffed. The Sunflower Trees need tending before they spoil, and we can't afford to entertain you right now. Once things quiet down and you have some free time, why don't you come back for a proper visit?"


As she spoke, she looked at Nanny Sun with an apologetic face, reassuringly patted her hand, and took over the tool in her hand. The Palace Maid by her side also set down what she was holding and came to escort Nanny Sun away.


Nanny Sun's mouth hung open as she chewed on her words, unsure of what else to say.


Had Young Master Lian misunderstood her visit as a social call?
