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 had Nanny Qi prepare offerings for the moon, and once finished, they would divide the fruits and mooncakes among themselves to eat, symbolizing unity and togetherness.


Lian Hua couldn't help but call the Emperor over to look, "Your Majesty, look, this is the big mooncake I told you about."


"Hmm," the Emperor glanced at it before shifting his gaze away—he didn't want to see any more mooncakes this year.


Nanny Qi, following the sound of her voice, spoke out, "Has His Majesty also returned?"


Only then did she realize that the Emperor had returned; she hadn't noticed earlier.


That said, with the main guest gone, the rest of the people would likely disperse soon, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet would probably end earlier than in previous years.


It was just unknown if something had occurred at the banquet that caused both of them to return.


The Emperor nodded helplessly; with his Little Concubine around, Nanny Qi found it increasingly easy to overlook him.
