Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

That night, just as Yun Ling said, it was Noble Lady Fucha who slept with the emperor. When Xia Dongchun heard the noise coming from outside, she was not jealous. Instead, she was glad that it was not her.

Yunling was not on duty that night, but Qi Ling took over. Xia Dongchun had slowly adapted to her new life and did not force Yunling to accompany her.

However, since Xia Dongchun had Yun Ling as her helper, she naturally would not fight for this favor. But being in the same palace with An Lingrong watching everything, it would be impossible for her to say that she did not feel the slightest ripple in her heart.

So that night, she didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Bao Juan heard her turning over and asked dazedly, "My lady, are you still awake?"

An Lingrong sat up and it was obvious from her voice that she had not been asleep: "Baojuan, I am really worried."

After An Lingrong finished saying this, she heard Baojuan coming over. Then, the bed curtain was lifted up by Baojuan and hung to the side.

"My lady, are you worried about the sleeping arrangements?" Baojuan frowned, her face full of concern.

An Lingrong didn't say anything, so Baojuan just stayed with her without asking any questions.

When Baojuan thought she was going to sleep like this, An Lingrong whispered, "What should I do if the emperor never remembers me..."

Baojuan immediately said "Puh, puh, puh" and advised her, "My lady, please don't say such unlucky words. The reason why Concubine Shen and Concubine Fucha were able to sleep with the emperor so early is because of their good family backgrounds. But if your family background is not taken into account, you are no worse than them. How could the emperor not think of you?"

An Lingrong lowered her head, clutched the quilt tightly, and murmured, "Yes, their family backgrounds are better than mine, how can I compete with them?"

After a pause, An Lingrong raised her head and smiled again: "But Sister Mei is favored, I am happy for her too."

Baojuan nodded: "That's right, Concubine Shen is in favor, so she must mention you more in front of the emperor. If that doesn't work, we can just go to Concubine Shen's place more often, who knows, we might even run into the emperor."

An Lingrong shook her head: "Forget it, Sister Mei is in favor, if we go to her place, what will others think?"

Baojuan looked at her in silence.

An Lingrong sighed: "Forget it, let's go to sleep first."

"Yes, young lady, please call me if you have any problem." Baojuan nodded and let the bed curtains down again.

The next day, Xia Dongchun woke up very early. For the first time ever, he woke up without being called.

Qi Ling noticed that she had woken up, and hurriedly said to the outside: "Sister Yunling, please bring the hot water quickly, the young lady is awake."

Yun Ling said "Eh", and soon came in with hot water. Xia Dongchun had already been helped by Qi Ling to put on her clothes. Today she was wearing a pine leaf green dress, which matched the turquoise emerald hairpin on her head perfectly.

Yun Ling twisted out a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Dongchun. Xia Dongchun sat in front of the dressing table, took the handkerchief and wiped her face, then asked casually, "What time is it now? Isn't it too late to pay respects to the Queen?"

"In reply to your question, it's still early. Besides, our Yanxi Palace is the closest to the Queen's Jingren Palace, so it won't be too late."

Xia Dongchun was relieved. This time, she would not make such a low-level mistake as breaking the rules.

While cleaning up, he heard a commotion outside. Xia Dongchun frowned and turned to look outside: "What's going on? What's going on outside?"

"My lady, please wait a moment. I will go and take a look." Qi Ling bowed and walked out.

Not long after, Qi Ling came in and said, "My lady, it was just a quarrel between Noble Lady Fucha and Lady An, it's nothing serious."

"Both of them?" Xia Dongchun was puzzled. "Why?"

"It seems that An Yingda spilled water in the room, and unexpectedly the floor was slippery, and she almost fell over," Qi Ling said, "That's why they started arguing. Fu Cha said that An Yingda was jealous that she got to sleep with him first, so she wanted to hurt her like this."

Xia Dongchun opened her eyes wide: "And then what? What did An Lingrong say?"

Qi Ling hesitated for a moment. Why did she feel that her young mistress was just watching the fun?

"Young Master..." Yun Ling called her to remind her.

Xia Dongchun suddenly came back to her senses, with an awkward expression on her face. She smiled at Qi Ling and said, "It's okay. I don't really want to know."

Qi Ling hesitantly said "hmm" and continued to help Xia Dongchun dress up.

Outside, Noble Lady Fucha glanced at An Lingrong unhappily, frowned, and raised her hand to cover her lips with a handkerchief: "It's really unlucky that I have to encounter such a thing so early in the morning. If you really fall on me today and prevent me from paying my respects to the Empress, I will definitely not let you go so easily!"

An Lingrong knew that she was in the wrong. After all, the problem was caused by the water spilled in her room. Even if it was an unintentional mistake, Noble Lady Fucha would probably not believe it.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered: "Lingrong apologizes to Sister Fucha here. I hope Sister will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Noble Lady Fucha turned sideways and was helped by Sang'er to move two steps to the side. "No, I don't deserve An Dan to call me sister. I'm in a hurry to pay my respects to the Empress, so I won't waste my time here with you."

After saying that, Noble Lady Fucha took Sang'er away and deliberately said in a high-profile manner: "Sang'er, when you come back from paying respects today, remember to stew the Dong'e Ejiao that the emperor gave me. Not everyone can have it."

An Lingrong also knew that these words were definitely spoken to her, but she was not in the right at the moment. Although she felt aggrieved, she did not dare to say anything. She could only listen to Noble Lady Fucha talking as she walked away.
