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

I just got sidetracked. The young girl isn't being modest; she's being honest. There's not a trace of exaggeration in her words.


What in the world is this? The stitching is all crooked; it's unbearable to look at...


Nanny Qi sighed inwardly. Diligence and eagerness to learn are always good virtues. Given her dedication, no matter what, she definitely deserves to be properly taught and guided onto the right path with her needlework.


This morning was thus spent with Zhang Qing turning the soil while Nanny Qi taught Lian Hua to embroider a sachet.


Zhang Qing was in agony. He was not cut out for turning soil; it was better for him to use his mind since physical labor was just too exhausting.


Nanny Qi was also in agony. The young girl seemed so clever on normal days, so how come she became so clumsy with needle and thread, never having an epiphany?
