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

Xia Dongchun raised her hand to signal Xiao Xiazi to don't be polite, and her eyes fell on the things carried by the two eunuchs following behind Xiao Xiazi. There was some confusion in her eyes, and she didn't understand why Yinzhen suddenly asked someone to send something over.

Xiao Xiazi saw the confusion in her eyes and took the initiative to explain with a smile: "Isn't it almost Princess Lingyuan's first birthday? The emperor loves the princess, but the palace expenses have to be frugal. The emperor couldn't bear to let the princess suffer, so he took out a piece of gold-threaded jade from his private storehouse and sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to order them to make a gold-inlaid jade lock for the princess. He also ordered the servants to send the floating brocade that Suzhou tributed this year to the queen, saying that he would make two sets of clothes for the queen and the princess, and also a pair of rhodonite pendants. The emperor said that they were for the queen to wear with new clothes."

"Please thank the emperor on my behalf first, and then say that I will thank him later." Xia Dongchun's eyes were full of smiles. She was happy, but this happiness was not entirely because of Yinzhen's reward to her, but more because of Yinzhen's attention to Ling Yuan.

Yun Ling got a look from Xia Dongchun, took out a heavy purse and stuffed it into Xiao Xiazi's pocket: "Thank you, Eunuch Xia, this is a little gift from our queen, please have some tea, Eunuch Xia."

After receiving the reward, Xiao Xiazi smiled more sincerely, and did not forget to say a few more nice words: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The gold-threaded jade sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs was taken from the emperor's private storehouse. It is of good quality. It was awarded to the emperor when the late emperor was still alive. This year's floating light brocade is in your hands, Your Majesty, except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Even Concubine Nian and Concubine Wan don't have it yet. This red-veined stone pendant is also exquisite and will definitely look good with the clothes made of floating light brocade."

Xia Dongchun was lying if she said she felt uncomfortable after hearing this. When Xiao Xiazi returned to report, Yin Zhu was the first to speak. She was really happy for Xia Dongchun: "Your Majesty, it seems that although the Emperor has come to our place less frequently recently, he still cares about you."

Xia Dongchun looked at the floating brocade on the table and the red stone pendant in the golden nanmu box, and curled the corners of her lips slightly: "Then take a piece of floating brocade and make a set of clothes quickly. Ask them to make one for the princess as well. Although Ling Yuan's first birthday gift is not a big deal, it can't be too shabby."

"Yes, I'll go there soon." Yin Zhu agreed.

"It seems that the emperor still cares about the queen." Yun Ling sighed as he looked at the rewards on the table.

Xia Dongchun snorted softly: "Wasn't it the same on Princess Wen Yi's first birthday last year? We are no different."

Although he said this, Yunling and Yinzhu could see that Xia Dongchun was still happy.

But before Ling Yuan’s birthday, a major event happened in the previous dynasty.

It was said that Prince Dun beat the censor who impeached him. Yinzhen was very upset about this and had not been to the harem for several days.

The Queen and Concubine Nian went to the Qinzheng Hall one after another to deliver snacks, but neither succeeded in getting in.

But it would be fine if no one could get in, but today the emperor summoned Zhen Huan.

Xia Dongchun didn't have too many thoughts after hearing this. Anyway, the emperor was in a bad mood these days and she didn't want to bring bad luck to him. Besides, Ling Yuan was learning to walk these days, so she was happy to stay with Ling Yuan in her palace.

Just because she thinks this way doesn't mean everyone thinks this way.

Concubine Nian was worried about Yinzhen, and went to the Qinzheng Palace more than once, but she was not able to get in every time. At this time, the news came that Yinzhen summoned Zhen Huan, how could she not be angry?

Concubine Nian was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere in the entire Qingliang Palace was tense. The eunuchs and palace maids serving her were afraid of being taken out on, and they did everything with trepidation in the past two days, fearing that they would lose their lives by accident.

It's just that others could avoid it, but Songzhi, who was serving closely, couldn't avoid it.

“This bitch!” Concubine Nian slammed the table, causing the tea in the cup to spill out onto the table. “Because of her, the Emperor stripped me of my title and took away my power to assist the six palaces. It has not been restored yet. Now that the Emperor is in a bad mood, I can’t even see him, but she can serve by his side. How can this be justified?!”

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Songzhi fanned Concubine Nian and quickly gave Lingzhi a look. Lingzhi understood and quickly wiped up the spilled tea and replaced the tea.

Song Zhi glanced at Concubine Nian's expression and tried to persuade her: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry. You are a daughter of gold. If you get angry with such a person and ruin your health, what will happen? Moreover, although the emperor has not yet restored your title and restored your assistant to the six palaces, hasn't he been as good to you as before in recent days? Maybe the emperor is just waiting for a good day to restore your title."

Although she was still angry, after hearing what Song Zhi said, Concubine Nian was still proud: "That's true. No matter how favored Zhen Huan is, doesn't the emperor still come to accompany me from time to time?"

Songzhi felt a little relieved. No matter what, as long as her queen didn't worry about Zhen Huan's affairs for the time being, otherwise, not to mention the other palace maids and eunuchs serving her, even she would inevitably be frightened.

Maybe Songzhi's words were accurate, but Yinzhen came to Qingliang Palace again that night and hinted in his words that he wanted to restore Concubine Nian's title. Concubine Nian was tempted, but after having fallen out of favor some time ago, even a proud woman like her was a little worried and didn't dare to ask directly.

If this had happened in the past, Concubine Nian would have acted coquettishly and asked Yinzhen what he thought, but now she just thought about it but did not ask.

Yinzhen understood what she meant, but said nothing. Instead, he pretended not to know and went to bed.

Two days later, Su Peisheng came to Qingliang Palace with a smile on his face and conveyed Yinzhen's oral order, restoring the title of Concubine Nian and allowing her to assist in managing the six palaces again, but at the same time ordered Concubine Jing to assist her.

When Concubine Nian heard this, she automatically ignored the second half of the sentence.

As soon as Su Peisheng left, Song Zhi immediately said, "Your Majesty, you see, the emperor still cares about you very much. You are the apple of his eye."

Concubine Nian - no, now it's Concubine Hua. She smiled with her lips curved, picked up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth: "That's it."
