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

She whispered softly, "Hmm, I'm having some trouble sleeping."


She sat with her legs hugged for a while, thought about it, and decided to get up from the bed, take a walk, and then come back to sleep.


Seeing her move, Xiao Qing quickly got up and turned up the wick of the night lamp and lit the other lamps.


"There's no need to light so many; I can see," Lian Hua said as she put on her shoes and draped her outer garment.


Xiao Qing shook her head and said, "My lady, it's dark at night; it's safer with more light, so you won't bump into anything."


Hearing this, Lian Hua said nothing more. After Xiao Qing finished lighting the lamps, she accompanied her to the restroom.


Upon returning, Lian Hua asked Xiao Qing to leave a bright lamp on before she lay down again.


With no trace of sleepiness, she stared fixedly at the mosquito netting, her thoughts drifting.


She wondered what His Majesty was doing at that moment. Had he rested yet?
