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

Lian Hua was also relieved, it seemed that Steward Zhang was still competent. Since that was the case, she decided to leave him be for now.


She had seen His Majesty, and her feet twitched, unable to resist the urge to go to him.


The Emperor came out, his eyes twinkling with laughter before he even spoke as he saw his Little Concubine.


With a smile at the corner of his mouth, he watched her approach and touched her face, "Why have you returned?"


Grasping His Majesty's hand, Lian Hua nuzzled it like a kitten; each time she saw His Majesty, her heart would involuntarily fill with sweetness.


After nuzzling enough, she put away her smile and looked at His Majesty seriously, "Your Majesty, Nanny and I were taking a walk and saw Steward Zhang kneeling outside. He refused to rise despite my calls, and Nanny said only you could make him get up, so I brought him back."
