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

So she spoke with Steward Zhang and suggested that if there were any off-duty Young Eunuchs in Star Palace today, they could come and have some fun too. She would first have Xiao Qing teach them how to mold mooncakes, then they would have a competition.


Steward Zhang managed to gather six more individuals for her, making up six groups in total.


When the mooncakes were baked and ready, the group that made the most and the best would receive a portion of the mooncakes as well as the biggest prize, while everyone else would receive a portion of mooncakes and a smaller prize.


The prize was actually something she had wheedled out of His Majesty, who could blame her for staying up late waiting for him to return? After she told him, he had scolded her for not going to sleep earlier, and in a fit of pique, she extorted fifty taels from him!


This time she took out twenty taels of silver to use as the prize, planning to use the remaining thirty taels another time.
