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

Zhang Sancai had long harbored resentment towards his Little Concubine, and when the remnants of his enemies sought revenge, he seized the opportunity to implicate her in the embezzlement case of the Harem, mixing the two groups together for mutual benefit. Today, he planned to take advantage of the chaos of the variety show to create trouble, aiming to settle everything at once, leaving no one behind.


It was a pity, though, that his Little Concubine didn't get to see the variety show she was looking forward to; he would have to arrange for her to see it another day.


Upon arriving at the Taiji Hall, after another round of ceremonial rituals, the Emperor announced the start of the banquet and simultaneously sent someone to Qianqiu Hall to announce the commencement of the feast.


In Qianqiu Hall, the concubines who were due had all arrived; the Noble Consort raised her glass to drink together, giving a toast, while others in the hall followed suit.
