The Favorite Mate of Prince

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence? Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough! Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

Chapter 050: Courting Death

Lady Gao entered the estate, and it was certain that Fourth Master would come, as per protocol.

So, on this day, as dusk approached, Lady Gao began her preparations, for Fourth Master was expected to join her for a meal.

Hence, she dressed up early in the morning.

Ye Zao, knowing of Lady Gao's arrival, felt no particular way about it. Fourth Master had many women, and it was still early days.

She was not in a position to be jealous.

Instead, she wondered what sort of changes Lady Gao's entry into the estate might bring, and for the moment, she was not in a hurry to see Fourth Master.

"Miss, the Imperial Kitchen is busy today. Our meals are still quite good. When the servant went there, they were still waiting at Princess Wuh's side," said Ah Yuan.

"Mhm, that's as should be. I still have some warmth here. As for Princess Wuh, from beginning to end, it's like a cold stove," laughed Ye Zao.

Isn't Princess Wuh the most distressed right now?
