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.

The Emperor pinched her face as if no one else was around and said, "Hmm, after returning and having lunch, I waited for a while. Seeing that you hadn't come back, I came out to look for you."


Lian Hua exclaimed "Oh?" and said, "Your servant and Nanny mentioned it, I went to visit Sister Zhaoyi. When Your Majesty returned, why didn't you send someone to inform your servant? That way, I... your servant would have gone back..."


As she spoke, Lian Hua's eyes glanced around the hall, an idea forming in her mind, and in a shrill, coquettish voice, she said, "Oh my, Your Majesty really should not have come here in person. It truly makes one... makes your servant feel overly favored and uneasy, with a sense of guilt that is hard to bear."


After finishing, she stuck her tongue out in the direction of the Noble Consort, able to speak such grand and dignified words herself.


The Emperor, full of smiles, pinched her hand as he watched her pretend.
