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

Lian Hua heard the noise, turned her head, and widened her eyes at the sudden commotion. Xiao Jizi and his two companions quickly protected her from the panicked crowd, ensuring she wasn't pushed or jostled.


Just then, a round and plump eunuch appeared with a beaming smile. From seemingly nowhere, a scattered group of more than a dozen people emerged and swiftly surrounded the area, weaving through the crowd. In no time at all, the panicked masses were being efficiently directed and controlled.


Some who still tried to shove their way through were casually but firmly guided away by the arm, as if among familiar chums, with loud and enthusiastic chatter about treats bestowed by their masters, or invites to share good wine and dishes.


With the shoving subsided, the remaining people looked somewhat dazed, standing still and bringing a measure of calm to the scene, while the lion dance performers also stopped in their tracks.
