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.

The Emperor knew to cater to her interests, bending down to look into her eyes, and put extra effort into tempting her, "Those more than ten clay figures are a complete set of the twelve zodiac signs, novel and amusing indeed, each one charming with interest. However, if discussing cuteness, Nannan surely ranks first."


Upon hearing about the twelve zodiac signs, Lian Hua's ears perked up completely, and her mood lightened upon hearing the final remark about her cuteness, her lips curling slightly before immediately smoothing out.


She must restrain herself and not give up her anger so easily; otherwise, she still has a father, a mother, and two brothers. What if His Majesty brings her family into account again next time? Who could explain that?


The Emperor raised his eyebrows. Such scenes had unfolded many times. Whenever he teased her to the point of laughter, for some reason, she immediately held it back.
