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

His Little Concubine was not so easily deceived now. After he sent a reply, she would thoroughly question the messenger, asking if he had dined.


To confirm that he had, she would even inquire about the dishes served in that meal. If they could not say, she would scold the messenger, saying that she knew he was not dining on time, and when he returned in the evening, he would receive a gentle scolding from her.


Just like yesterday, he had skipped lunch because he was discussing state affairs past the proper Shichen, only having a little for dinner.


He returned very late at night, dismissed the palace maid who was staying up for the night, and tiptoed into the inner chamber. Just as he was about to change his clothes, he discovered she was still awake.


He spoke in a very soft voice, thinking he wouldn't wake anyone, but as he was halfway through changing, a fuzzy head popped out from under the bed curtains in the dim light. It was his Little Concubine.
