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

Xia Dongchun was peeling lotus seeds when Yin Zhu came in: "Madam, Doctor Xu is here to check your pulse."

"Please ask Doctor Xu to come in." Xia Dongchun didn't even raise his head. Yin Zhu left after receiving the order.

When Doctor Xu came in, Xia Dongchun just looked up and said, "Thank you, Master Xu."

"Taking care of Her Majesty's health is my humble duty, and I dare not take credit for it." Xu Zhiyun bowed, put the medicine box aside, took out the pulse pillow and handkerchief, and half-knelt beside the table.

Xia Dongchun stretched out his hand and asked him to take his pulse.

Yun Ling took advantage of this opportunity to call a young palace maid and asked her to take out the lotus seed shells that Xia Dongchun had just peeled.

"By the way, has Lord Xu checked Sister Borjigit's pulse recently? I wonder how Sister is doing." Xia Dongchun asked. After Lady Borjigit had a miscarriage, Xia Dongchun was always worried that she would be hurt. Every time he saw Xu Zhiyun, he would ask this question casually.

Xu Zhiyun replied, "I checked the pulse of the noble Borjigit yesterday. The noble Borjigit is fine. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"That's good." Hearing Xu Zhiyun say this, Xia Dongchun felt a little relieved. After all, among all the concubines, only Noble Borjigit had the best relationship with her and treated her sincerely. If something really happened to Noble Borjigit, that was something she didn't want to see.

"Forgive me for saying so much," Xu Zhiyun reminded her, "Your Majesty, your last miscarriage was very damaging to your body. Although you have recovered almost completely now, you still have to be careful and not be negligent. Only in this way can you have a chance to get pregnant again."

"I understand. Thank you, Lord Xu, for reminding me."

After taking the patient's pulse, Xu Zhiyun left with the medicine box.

Seeing that the lotus seeds had been peeled almost enough, Xia Dongchun asked Yin Zhu to take the peeled lotus seeds to the small kitchen to make sweet dumplings for dinner.

An Lingrong's residence

"My lady, those villains in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are always flattering the powerful and bullying the weak," Baoying brought a bowl of mung bean soup and placed it in front of An Lingrong, "I asked the guard brother to bring me some mung bean soup, it will help you cool down."

An Lingrong looked at Baoying who was so considerate to her, and then at the green bean soup she brought over which was obviously fresh, and quickly realized: "Baoying, did you use your allowance to bribe the guards?"

Baoying moved her feet awkwardly and lowered her head: "My lady, are you angry that I acted on my own? Although the hottest time has passed, it is still hot. I am worried that you are weak and have suffered from the heat, so I asked the guards to bring me this bowl of mung bean soup."

"Baoying..." An Lingrong looked at the mung bean soup on the table and reached out to hold Baoying's hand. "You have suffered so much. At the beginning, I was insignificant and your influence was not taken seriously. Fu Cha agreed to send you to the Ministry of Punishment. Now that I am in trouble, I called you back to suffer. Do you blame me?"

Baoying's eyes were red, and she shook her head: "How could I blame you, my lady? I was sent to the Ministry of Punishment that day because Fu Cha promised to do it. You were in trouble at that time, and I am yours. How could I watch you suffer? Besides, you have always been thinking about me, and now you have brought me out of the Ministry of Punishment. I can't thank you enough."

An Lingrong was deeply moved when she heard this, and sighed again: "Fortunately, there is still the Empress. After a while, when the confinement is lifted, the Empress will definitely help me regain the emperor's favor. By then, you will be my first-class maid serving me closely."

Baoying immediately knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, my lady. With your words, I will go through fire and water for you."

An Lingrong lowered her eyelashes, her expression could not be seen clearly, and she did not comment on Baoying's statement.

……

As it was getting dark, Yinzhen arrived at the Xinghuachun Pavilion.

"The Emperor has arrived--!" Su Peisheng announced loudly.

Xia Dongchun hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yinzhen raised his hand and signaled: "Get up."

After they sat down, Xia Dongchun served Yinzhen a small bowl of Dendrobium and Ophiopogon soup, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty has been tired all day. This Dendrobium and Ophiopogon soup can quench your thirst and remove liver heat. Your Majesty, please have a bowl first."

Yinzhen was indeed exhausted by the affairs of the previous dynasty, and had been troubled by Prince Dun's affairs during this period. Although Zhen Huan could understand his inner thoughts and be his confidant, he was also very comfortable with someone like Xia Dongchun who was simple-minded and caring about him. At least he could relax for a moment and not think about the headaches of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, there was some satisfaction in Yinzhen's eyes. He glanced casually and saw the sweet bowl on the table.

Seeing his eyes on the sweet bowl, Xia Dongchun smiled and said, "Although it is not the hottest weather now, the heat has not yet passed. Your Majesty is worth a fortune and works hard for state affairs all day. I am stupid and can only do some small things to relieve your fatigue. When I learned that your Majesty would come for dinner today, I asked the kitchen to prepare some sweet bowls. I hope your Majesty will enjoy the meal."

Yinzhen then smiled. In his opinion, Xia Dongchun was so considerate and thoughtful. She was sometimes gentle and attentive to him, and sometimes tender and delicate like a girl, which fully demonstrated Xia Dongchun's admiration for him.

Besides, they have a lovely daughter.

So Yinzhen smiled and said: "You are thoughtful, but don't just care about me, you also have to take care of yourself and Lingyuan."

"Yes, I will follow the emperor's instructions." Xia Dongchun responded, and then continued Yinzhen's words, "The emperor has been busy with state affairs these days and has not come to the harem often, so I haven't had time to report to the emperor. The princess can walk now. Sister Borjigit has often come to accompany me to take care of the princess these past two days. I think in a while, the princess will call me father-in-law."

"Is it really so?" Yinzhen became interested. His descendants were not as numerous as the previous emperor's. Including Lingyuan, he only had three daughters. Lingyuan was the youngest, so he naturally loved her more. Now that he knew Lingyuan had learned to walk and was learning to call "Emperor Father", he was naturally happy.
