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

It was just about fetching a food box, yet somehow it was so difficult. Could it really be, as the master had said, that he wanted to steal it?


Xiao Linzi was somewhat puzzled but dared not speak, only managing to ask in a feeble, soft voice, "Steward Zhang, those two food boxes..."


Zhang Qing, feeling perturbed at seeing him, glared at him and then turned to face the Emperor with a forced smile, softly inquiring, "Your Majesty..."


The Emperor, impatiently waving his hand, was preoccupied with pondering the intentions of Little Concubine and had no time to concern himself with food boxes.


"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Qing understood, stepped back a few paces, turned his head to glare at Xiao Linzi, and hurried him to the door with a dismissive wave of his hand, "Go, go, go, Da Zhuang, give it to him, let him go, don't block my sight."


Da Zhuang, who had been waiting at the door, uttered an "ah" and soon brought over two food boxes, asking Xiao Linzi if he could carry them.
