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

Regarding the incident of Prince Dun beating the censor, Zhen Huan has been serving by his side and comforting him from time to time. During this period, apart from going to Zhen Huan's Bitong Academy, Yinzhen only went to Concubine Hua's Qingliang Terrace. The other concubines in the harem have not seen Yinzhen for more than half a month.

People like Concubine Xin, Concubine Jing, Concubine Duan have long been accustomed to it. Concubine Chun eats and drinks all day long and seems to have forgotten about such things. Concubine Borjigit often comes to Xia Dongchun's place to accompany Ling Yuan to learn to walk and teach her to talk and call people. Looking at the entire palace, the most anxious person is probably An Lingrong, who is still under house arrest.

On this day, Xia Dongchun and noblewoman Borjigit were teaching Ling Yuan to call "Mother" when Yin Zhu came in and announced that Su Peisheng had arrived.

Xia Dongchun stood up and said, "Please ask Eunuch Su to come in. It's so hot, and Eunuch Su is coming here at this time. Maybe the emperor has some instructions."

"Yes." Yin Zhu went out as he was told.

After a while, Su Peisheng came in and bowed: "I pay my respects to Concubine Zhao, to Noblewoman Borjigit, and to Princess Lingyuan."

"Eunuch Su, please stand up." Xia Dongchun raised his hand to signal, "Eunuch Su, you are here at this time. I wonder if the emperor has any instructions?"

Su Peisheng smiled and said, "The Emperor is coming to have dinner with the Empress and the Princess tonight, and he specifically asked me to come and tell the Empress that you should get ready."

"I understand. Thank you for taking the trip. It's so hot. Take these and have some tea." Xia Dongchun raised her chin and gestured to Yun Ling.

Yun Ling took a step forward, knelt down with a smile, and stuffed the bulging purse in her hand to Su Peisheng: "Thank you, Eunuch Su."

Don't hit a smiling person. Besides, Xia Dongchun has always been nice to Su Peisheng, so Su Peisheng smiled and returned the greeting: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

After Su Peisheng left, Borjigit Noblewoman smiled and said to Xia Dongchun, "Look, sister, the emperor has rarely come to the harem in the past half month. Even if he came, he went to Concubine Hua and Concubine Wan. Today's excitement should fall on you."

"Sister, please don't make fun of me." Xia Dongchun smiled. "The emperor is busy with state affairs. The incident of Prince Dun beating up the censor some time ago also upset the emperor. I am not good at speaking and I am not good at comforting people. It is also good for the emperor not to come. It will prevent me from saying something wrong and causing trouble."

"No matter what, we have Ling Yuan now, so we have hope. Look at Concubine Cao. Even if she is no longer favored, she still has a daughter. Although the emperor doesn't want to see Concubine Cao now, he didn't give Princess Wen Yi to someone else to raise, did he?" Concubine Borjigit patted her hands. "You are much better than Concubine Cao. You are more favored than her, have a better family background than her, and have a higher status than her. As long as you can stay well, Ling Yuan will also have a good future in the future."

"It's almost July now. If the weather isn't so hot, I'm afraid we'll have to go back to the palace." Xia Dongchun took a sip of tea and couldn't help sighing. "In the Old Summer Palace, at least we followed the emperor to the Arrow Tower and rode horses twice, which was fun. When we return to the palace, we can only embroider and feed the fish."

"Look at you," Noblewoman Borjigit chuckled, "Lingyuan can walk now. After a year of care, she is not as weak as she was when she was just born. When we return to the palace, we will take Lingyuan to fly a kite. Who knows, by then, Lingyuan may already call me mother."

Thinking of this, Xia Dongchun felt a little better. Noblewoman Borjigit was right. In this deep palace, Ling Yuan was the only person who was related to her by blood. Whether she was in favor or out of favor, at least there was hope.

"Okay, I'll go back first, and you should get ready." Borjigit stood up and straightened his clothes. "No need to see me off, just stay with Ling Yuan."

Before leaving, she bent down and gently pinched Ling Yuan's little face. Ling Yuan was well taken care of, and now her little face had become chubby, white and tender, like a doll in a New Year picture.

After the noble Borjigit left, Yun Ling asked, "My lady, I will ask the kitchen to cook a Dendrobium and Ophiopogon soup, and have someone prepare some sweet dishes, how do you do?"

"Go ahead." Xia Dongchun held out her hand, and Ling Yuan walked towards her crookedly. "Also bring the lotus seeds needed for the sweet bowl. I will peel them myself."

"My lady, peeling lotus seeds hurts your hands so much. Don't hurt your newly healed nails that are like water onions." Yun Ling said distressedly, "Let me peel them."

Xia Dongchun shook her head: "Since we are going to do it, we have to do it in a way that no one can complain about. Broken nails can be repaired, but I can't leave room for criticism."

"Yes, then I'll go to the small kitchen and bring some lotus seeds." Although Yun Ling felt distressed, she would not insist on changing Xia Dongchun's decision.

"The emperor has been troubled by the affairs of the previous dynasty recently. Wanpin is eloquent and can comfort the emperor. I can't do that, so I will do some other small things to make the emperor feel more comfortable." Ling Yuan wanted to make a scene, so Xia Dongchun signaled the wet nurse to take Ling Yuan to sleep, and then said to Yun Ling, "This way, we can avoid the suspicion of interfering in politics, and let the emperor know that I am also thinking about him."

Xia Dongchun had also heard about Zhen Huan's suggestion on the matter of Prince Dun. She didn't agree with this approach. The emperor and Zhen Huan were in a good relationship now, so he naturally wouldn't think it was meddling in politics. He might even praise Zhen Huan for being smart. But what if the emperor had a new favorite someday? Would Zhen Huan's behavior be problematic in the emperor's eyes?

Yunling also told her what happened in the previous life. After the Nian family fell from power, didn't Zhen Huan's meddling in politics become apparent?

The later incident that happened to the Zhen family might not have been unrelated to this incident.

After Ling Yuan was taken away, Yun Ling also brought the lotus seeds. Xia Dongchun peeled the lotus seeds. A sweet bowl of rice only needed many lotus seeds, so there was no need to rely on others for such a task.

Yunling was fanning her beside her.
