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

She picked up the soup spoon, eager to begin, yet as something occurred to her, she raised her head to look at His Majesty, her eyes brimming with longing.


The Emperor watched her puppy-like gaze and smiled, pulling her to sit down, "Go ahead."


Lian Hua cheered as if she had received a special pardon, "His Majesty is truly kind~"


She scooped up a spoonful and brought it to her mouth to taste, squinting her eyes and slowly savoring it bite by bite, her little expressions full of enjoyment.


The Emperor watched her contentedly eat for a while, his face amused, as cow's milk was not such a remarkable thing. It was rumored that during the Late Emperor's time, a Favored Concubine had bathed in cow's milk, the height of luxury.


Yet his Little Concubine was so easily satisfied, just a small cup of cow's milk made her this content.


Indeed, his Little Concubine cherished food above all else, as long as there was something tasty to eat or drink, she would think of nothing else.
