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

When they arrived at the Arrow Tower, Xia Dongchun and Borjigit bowed at the same time: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yinzhen was in a good mood today. He had just shot two wild pigeons. He was thinking about the promise he had made to Xia Dongchun that he would take her riding after she gave birth to Lingyuan. Now that Xia Dongchun had given birth to her first month, and he happened to be in the Arrow Tower, he asked someone to call Xia Dongchun and noble lady Borjigit over.

"Get up," Yinzhen waved his hand, handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Xiao Xiazi who was waiting on the side, then took the handkerchief from Su Peisheng's hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I promised you before that I would take you riding a horse, and today I will fulfill my promise."

Xia Dongchun acted surprised and said, "Your Majesty still remembers?"

"That's right. I am the emperor, and my words are as good as gold. How can I break my promise to a little girl like you?" Yinzhen laughed loudly, walked forward and held Xia Dongchun's hand, "Are you feeling better?"

Xia Dongchun nodded: "Everything is fine. Sister Borjigit is also well now. I and sister can accompany the emperor together."

Only then did Yinzhen set his sights on Lady Borjigit. To be fair, he had a good impression of Lady Borjigit, but Lady Borjigit was not very proficient in poetry and her temperament was too docile, so after the novelty wore off, he lost interest in her.

In addition, Concubine Borjigit had also suffered a miscarriage some time ago, and Yinzhen was in a bad mood when he saw the concubine who had lost her child, so he had not seen Concubine Borjigit for a while.

Seeing her now, she looked good, and her eyes were full of tenderness and affection. In addition, Yinzhen was in a good mood, so his tone was much softer: "I have been busy with government affairs, and I haven't visited you for a while. How are you doing recently?"

Borjigit naturally didn't believe him when he said that he didn't visit her because he was busy with government affairs, but she didn't care why, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is a true dragon and emperor. The feng shui of the Forbidden City is good for people, and it is even better with Your Majesty here. Everything is fine with me."

At this time, the young eunuch in charge of horse training in the Arrow Tower also came over with two horses, one chestnut and the other white. Both horses looked majestic, and Xia Dongchun and Borjigit's eyes lit up.

Seeing Xia Dongchun's happy face, Yinzhen was even more happy in his heart: "Zhao'er chooses first. I have never seen Zhao'er riding a horse. When I was in the palace, only... only Concubine Nian could ride a horse with me."

Xia Dongchun glanced at Noblewoman Borjigit, and after getting her eye signal, he walked straight to the chestnut horse. He first took the hay from the horse trainer and fed it to the horse, then stroked it a few times. After getting a little familiar with it, he dared to jump on the horse.

But after all, she had just finished her first trimester and did not dare to ride too fast. Besides, there was also a noble lady Borjigit, and Yinzhen was also there. It would be bad if the horse got frightened and bumped into Yinzhen. So after noble lady Borjigit got on the horse, Xia Dongchun first rode slowly around the stables.

Yinzhen also took her health into consideration and had not originally expected Xia Dongchun to ride and shoot with him. However, after such a long time, Yinzhen was very excited to have a concubine who pleased him ride with him again.

In the distance, Song Zhi was standing next to Concubine Nian, fanning her. Zhou Ninghai took a look from afar and wiped the sweat off his head: "My queen, it's so hot, don't get a heat stroke, shall we go back?"

Concubine Nian said nothing, but just stared at Yinzhen and Xia Dongchun riding side by side. Her newly dyed nails dug into her palms, and her silver teeth almost broke: "Bitch!"

"Your Majesty..." Song Zhi fanned herself slower and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's so hot today. It's not worth it to get sick from anger."

"It's all that bitch Zhen Huan's fault! If she hadn't been incompetent and lost her child, how could she have implicate me?" Concubine Nian started to cry as she spoke, "The Emperor hasn't seen me for such a long time, and now he's riding a horse with that bitch Xia! When we were in the palace, I was the only one who had the qualifications! I was the only one who could ride a horse and chat with the Emperor! Why does she have the right?!"

"Don't say that, Your Majesty. How can Xia be compared to you?" Songzhi tried to comfort her. "The Emperor just felt sorry for Xia because she had just lost her child. Besides, no matter how good she is, she is not Your Majesty. You may still be the one Your Majesty is thinking of."

“Of course!” Concubine Nian raised her chin slightly, took a deep breath, and refused to let the tears fall. “No matter how much she resembles him, he is still a clown! After all, he is not me. It’s just… it’s just that this is not a solution. The emperor has someone new by his side, and he might completely forget about me one day.”

After looking for a while, Concubine Nian retracted her gaze and said, "Let's go back."

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

......

Outside the Arrow Tower, Su Peisheng looked at An Lingrong and said, "My lady, what a coincidence! Concubine Zhao and Concubine Borjigit are riding horses with the Emperor inside. Look at the scorching sun. It will be bad if you get a heat stroke. Why don't you go back first? I will tell the Emperor that you were here later."

An Lingrong could hardly hold back the smile on her face. She had heard that Yinzhen was practicing horse riding and archery in the Yinjian Tower, so she thought of stewing some mung bean soup with rock sugar for Yinzhen to cool him down. However, she was stopped here.

This was also something Yinzhen specifically instructed. He was in a good mood today and didn't want to be disturbed by others.

"Then...then please trouble Eunuch Su to bring this rock sugar mung bean soup to the emperor. Since Concubine Zhao and Noble Lady Borjigit are accompanying the emperor in inside, I will go back first." An Lingrong took the food box from Baojuan and handed it to Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng smiled and bowed to take it: "Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely bring it to you and tell the emperor what you mean."

An Lingrong walked away, looking back every few steps.

Su Peisheng continued to wait outside. He was afraid of horses, so every time Yinzhen came to the arrow tower to practice riding and archery, Xiao Xiazi would follow him and serve him.

It was noon when Yinzhen brought Xia Dongchun and noble lady Borjigit out of the Arrow Tower to have lunch with Xia Dongchun.

When they arrived at the Xinghuachun Pavilion, Su Peisheng told Xia Dongchun about An Lingrong's visit. Xia Dongchun's eyes fell on the food box and said with a smile, "This is also a kind gift from sister An. Please trouble eunuch Su to take the things out."

Then she turned to Yinzhen with a smile, and said in a coquettish tone: "I wonder if I would be so lucky as to share a bowl of Sister An's love for the emperor?"
