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

The old monk looked at him with compassion and mercy and said only, "Amitabha, the will of Heaven is unfathomable; even I cannot see through it."


The old monk continued, "The lotus is a sacred flower in Buddhism, and by coincidence, your surname is Lian. The baby girl in the swaddling clothes has a fate linked with Buddha. Why not name her Lian Hua? It might ward off calamities and disasters, with hopes she will rise above the mire unsoiled, breaking through worldly filth and misfortunes to stand tall in the world."


From that moment on, the name of Lian Hua was set.


Before leaving, the old monk gave Lian Hua's father a deep look and said, "Benefactor, you are a righteous person, and your ancestors have accumulated much good karma; your virtue is immeasurable. In the future, you will surely turn danger into safety and enjoy a peaceful old age."


Lian Hua's father thanked the old monk and finally asked for his Buddhist name.


The old monk responded with "Hui Yuan" and drifted away.
