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

Xia Dongchun naturally got the news as well. Her thoughts were confirmed, so she just sighed helplessly: "Last night, when the emperor suddenly mentioned Nian Gengyao and asked about Concubine Nian in his memorial, I guessed that Concubine Nian would be restored to favor, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Yun Ling looked at her worriedly: "Concubine Nian has been detained for more than a month. Once she is restored to favor, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."

"What do we have to worry about?" Xia Dongchun turned a page in the notebook in her hand. "Right now, the most eye-catching ones are the pregnant Concubine Wan and Concubine Fucha. Moreover, Concubine Fucha has offended Concubine Nian a lot in the past few days. Concubine Nian has regained her favor. Even if she wants to make trouble, she will make trouble for these two people first. It is not our turn yet."

That's true. Right now, the people Concubine Nian can't stand the most are probably Noble Fucha and Zhen Huan.

"I just don't know if Noble Lady Fucha can stand Concubine Nian's torture." Xia Dongchun said, "After all, she is already quite pregnant. Although she uses makeup to improve her complexion every day, it can be vaguely seen that she is not feeling well every day."

"At least it's not causing us any trouble." Yun Ling smiled.

Xia Dongchun raised the corners of her lips slightly. It was cold and she was too lazy to move. After paying her respects to the Queen these past two days, she stayed in the house reading books and playing with Ling Yuan, and seldom went out.

The main problem is that it is cold when going out, and it is easy to meet Noble Lady Fucha. She would rather stay away from Noble Lady Fucha, the farther the better. Otherwise, if something happens to Noble Lady Fucha's stomach, it is easy to blame her. After all, even Yinzhen knows that she and Noble Lady Fucha don't have a good relationship.

At night, the Yiku Palace was brightly lit, and the charcoal fire in the palace was burning brightly, making it warm.

Concubine Nian had already been dressed up. The set of kingfisher feather ornaments on her head was her favorite. Under the candlelight, she looked elegant and graceful, like a blooming peony.

"Songzhi, can you please check for me to see if there is anything wrong?" Yinzhen hasn't been to Yikun Palace for more than a month, and Concubine Nian has experienced a series of punishments such as house arrest and deprivation of title. Now is the time to worry about gains and losses, fearing that she has done something wrong again.

Songzhi smiled and flattered: "It's all right, Madam. It couldn't be better. The emperor will definitely like it when he sees it."

Concubine Nian then breathed a sigh of relief and kept looking outside to see if Yinzhen had arrived.

It was not until she heard Su Peisheng say, "The Emperor has arrived," that Concubine Nian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. She hurriedly asked Songzhi to help her go out to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." Concubine Nian knelt down and saluted.

Yinzhen cleared his throat and reached out to pull her up: "Get up."

Concubine Nian was stunned for a moment, her eyes instantly turned red, she put her hand on Yinzhen's hand and stood up.

"It's cold outside. Why don't you put on more clothes before going out?" Yinzhen held her hand and felt it was a little cold, so he said.

Concubine Nian shook her head: "I am not cold. I am happy to see the emperor."

Yinzhen went into the room with her, sat down, looked at her red eyes, and then said, "Why are you crying?"

Concubine Nian wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said coquettishly, "I thought the emperor was angry with me and would never come to see me again."

"I am angry," Yinzhen shook the beads in his hand twice and looked at her, "but I am angry because you didn't know people well and got implicated. I want to protect you, but I can't."

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Concubine Nian couldn't control her tears anymore, she couldn't even keep up with wiping them with her handkerchief: "Your Majesty..."

Yinzhen frowned: "Okay, okay, didn't I come to see you? What, you want to cry your heart out and not ask me to eat?"

Only then did Concubine Nian burst into laughter and happily had dinner with Yinzhen.

The next morning, Concubine Nian came to pay her respects to the empress with a rosy face, and she was back to her previous arrogant attitude.

A slight bow of the knee is considered a salute.

The Queen also knew that she was about to get cocky again, and didn't want to argue with her at this time, so she didn't say anything.

After they sat down, Concubine Nian looked around at everyone's faces, and finally landed on Concubine Fucha: "Concubine Fucha is the most blessed. Seeing your belly getting bigger day by day, it would be great if she could give birth to a prince for the Emperor someday. Who knows, she might even be able to catch up with Concubine Qi."

Noble Lady Fucha puffed out her belly. Actually, she had been feeling a little uncomfortable for the past two days, but the imperial physician said it was a normal reaction during pregnancy and prescribed a medicine to stabilize the pregnancy, so she felt relieved.

"Then I'll take advantage of Concubine Nian's good wishes." Noble Lady Fucha replied with a smile, completely unaware of the ugly look on Concubine Qi's face.

Concubine Nian sneered. There are actually such stupid people in the world. How could she be so lucky as to conceive a dragon fetus? It was a joke.

But Concubine Nian said nothing more. She just laughed and ignored Noble Lady Fucha. She turned to Zhen Huan and said, "I forgot to congratulate Noble Lady Wan. I just wonder if Noble Lady Wan is lucky enough to give birth to a prince."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. All children are good. It would be great if they could be as lovely as Princess Wen Yi and Princess Ling Yuan." Zhen Huan was not someone who would be easily angered.

"Concubine Qi, look, even Noble Wan knows that Wen Yi Yuxue is adorable and much better than the Third Prince." Concubine Nian did not forget to taunt Concubine Qi again.

Zhen Huan didn't expect Concubine Nian to say this, and subconsciously turned to Concubine Qi: "Madam Qi, that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?" Concubine Qi rolled her eyes and turned away without looking at Zhen Huan.

Concubine Nian covered her lips and smiled.

The queen frowned slightly: "Okay, it doesn't matter if the children are silly or cute, as long as they can give birth to healthy children for the emperor."

Concubine Qi did not dare to express her dissatisfaction with the Queen, but just turned around and glared at Zhen Huan again.

After greeting and leaving, the Queen said, "Please stay, Concubine Qi. I have something to say to you."

After everyone left, Concubine Qi followed the Queen to the inner chamber. As soon as she entered, the Queen sighed, "What are you arguing about with Concubine Wan? As soon as Concubine Nian started something, did you rush to do what she wanted?"

"But your majesty..." Concubine Qi felt very aggrieved, "I only have the Third Prince as my son, I have to fight for him, and Concubine Nian and Concubine Wan are really going too far."

"Alright, the Third Prince is your biological son, and I watched him grow up. I love him as much as you do," said the Queen. "Besides, Hongshi is the Emperor's eldest son and the only adult son. Are you still afraid that Concubine Wan's child will snatch the Third Prince's? Even if Concubine Fucha's child is his, he will never be able to catch up with Hongshi."

After a pause, the Queen looked worried, "But speaking of which, Concubine Wan is in favor now, and like you, she is from the fifth banner of the Han army. Some time ago, the Emperor mentioned to me that he wanted to promote Concubine Wan to a concubine, and Concubine Fucha is from the third banner of the Manchu army. The Emperor also dotes on her. If their child is born, it is possible that he will be on par with your Third Prince. Didn't Emperor Shunzhi insist on making the newly born Fourth Prince the Crown Prince?"

"What can I do? The emperor no longer loves me. It doesn't matter if I've fallen out of favor, but, but the Third Prince is the emperor's eldest son." Concubine Qi was anxious. Her biggest wish was that her son would be valued by the emperor. If he could inherit the throne in the future, she would have finally made it.

"But don't worry. I've said that Hongshi was raised by me. If the emperor really wants to establish a younger son, I will definitely dissuade him."

Concubine Qi was stunned. At this moment, she suddenly thought: "But... didn't Shunzhi's fourth prince die in infancy?"

"Yes," the Queen replied, as if speaking naturally, "If you knew that your child would die at birth, you would rather not give birth."

After saying this, the queen immediately said, "Oh, Amitabha, how could I say such sinful words? It is really a sin."

Concubine Qi's eyes rolled and she understood something.
