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

In previous years, the Emperor's birthday was also celebrated in the palace, but back then, she didn't pay much attention to it.


Her rank was too low, too far removed from the center of festivities; even if there were rewards, they wouldn't reach Canglan Court. At most, she could go to the Imperial Garden and pluck some freshly offered flowers and plants to enjoy. Her days went on as usual, eating, drinking, and living without any distinction, so she never remembered these events.


After Nanny reminded her, she started to think hard about what to present; the gift for Sister Consort De was not suitable to be given to His Majesty as well.


His Majesty didn't like it when others had the same gift as he did; ah, such a fussy temperament His Majesty has. He would only be happy with something unique.


So she was nearly worried sick, even getting lost in her thoughts while at breakfast, unable to decide what to give to His Majesty.
