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

After Lian Hua sipped on the sour plum and honey dew, Xu Zhaoyi eagerly pulled her aside, letting Ming Jing redo her hair bun. Before it was even finished, she started calling her a little fairy, making Lian Hua break into a beaming smile.


Xu Zhaoyi looked at the silk flowers in Lian Hua's hair, endlessly complimenting her nimble hands and how pretty she looked with them, making her appear fresh and tender—far better than those heavy gemstone hairpins.


Lian Hua felt delighted upon hearing this and happily looked at herself in the mirror. Indeed, she looked beautiful.


Sister Zhaoyi didn't deceive her, Auntie Ming Jing was truly skilled, her hairdressing technique was much better than her own, and it matched perfectly with the dress His Majesty had made for her.


Satisfied, she took one last look in the mirror before standing up to take her leave.


In Canglan Court, the Emperor waited anxiously in the Side Hall, growing increasingly restless and agitated.
