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

Although these days she saw His Majesty rarely, often he would return only after she had fallen asleep, the presence of his note made it feel as though His Majesty was right by her side, which gave her peace of mind.


Though unaccustomed, her feelings were more of sympathy for His Majesty; the weight of the empire rested on his shoulders, and the burden was indeed too heavy, very exhausting.


Tomorrow would be Mid-Autumn Festival. She hoped all would be well, that His Majesty wouldn't have to work so hard, and could enjoy a relaxed holiday.


Perhaps when she woke up, she would find out that His Majesty had used his noon meal and responded to the note.


Lian Hua drifted into a dreamland, her brow slightly furrowed, feeling somewhat uneasy.


And so, Lian Hua ended up waiting until the evening meal.


The food box had not returned, the note had not come back, and there was no word either.
