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

Concubine Qi's words were just pushed back in a light tone. In the past, it would have been fine if she couldn't defeat Concubine Hua, but now, seeing that a former palace maid beside Concubine Hua dared to offend her like this, Concubine Qi was naturally very unhappy.

But if she continued to respond to Songzhi's words and argued with her, it would be a loss of status, so Concubine Qi looked at Songzhi with disdain and gave up: "Since Sister Songzhi herself is willing to do so, I can't say anything more."

When Concubine Hua saw that Concubine Qi was defeated, she smiled triumphantly and motioned for Songzhi to sit down at the back as well.

After getting Concubine Hua's permission, Songzhi bowed to express her gratitude and went to sit at the back.

Soon, the queen arrived, and everyone stood up and saluted. After the queen sat down, Songzhi stood up and saluted again: "I pay my respects to the queen, and wish her good health and happiness."

The Queen stared at Song Zhi for a moment, hiding the annoyance in her eyes and putting on a smile on her face: "Zhi, promise to get up soon. You were originally a person close to Concubine Hua. You know the rules and etiquette, which is not embarrassing for Concubine Hua. I am naturally happy to see this. I also hope that you will serve the emperor well in the future, and it would be best if you can give birth to a prince for the emperor."

As expected, no matter how many times she heard this sentence, Concubine Hua couldn't get used to it and always found it harsh. But Concubine Hua looked at the Queen and calmed down for once, thinking that the Queen was also childless, so this sentence could be used to hurt her, but it could also be used to hurt the Queen's own heart.

So she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, what you said is right. Zhi Ying was originally my servant. Now she can serve the emperor. This is her blessing. The emperor also pities Zhi Ying and allows Zhi Ying to continue living with me. If Zhi Ying is really pregnant one day, I will naturally help Zhi Ying take good care of the child."

The Queen was quite surprised to see that Concubine Hua did not go crazy when she heard about the child this time, but she did not show it on her face. She just smiled slightly, asked Songzhi to sit back, and then talked about other things.

Xia Dongchun sat upright in her seat, with Concubine Qi on her left and Zhen Huan on her right. They would engage in a verbal battle every time they paid their respects. She was used to it. As long as it had nothing to do with her and Noble Lady Borjigit, she didn't care what others said.

Listening to the Queen's hypocritical words, Xia Dongchun and the noble lady Borjigit who was sitting diagonally opposite them looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then looked away.

After about half an hour, the queen finally said, "That's enough. I'm tired too. You sisters should all go back."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Everyone stood up and left one after another.

After leaving Jingren Palace, Xia Dongchun invited Concubine Borjigit to sit for a while in her palace. The two walked side by side in front, not noticing that Concubine Cao, who came out behind them, was staring at them.

Until Concubine Hua called her, "What are you looking at? Go away."

Concubine Cao withdrew her gaze and followed Concubine Hua to Yikun Palace.

Ever since Songzhi gained favor, for the next half month, whenever Yinzhen came to the harem, he would go to Yiku Palace almost every time, and he would either stay in Hua Fei's room or Songzhi's room.

For a time, the Yikun Palace was in its heyday, and even Zhen Huan, who was once the most favored, could not compare with it.

On this day, Zhen Huan invited Concubine Xin, Concubine Cao, Concubine Xia Dongchun, Concubine Borjigit, and Concubine Jing to sit in Suiyuxuan.

As she spoke, Zhen Huan seemed very dissatisfied with Song Zhi's favor.

After listening to this, Xia Dongchun had a rough idea in her mind. She was afraid that her jealousy was fake and her real intention was to confuse Concubine Hua.

She thought for a moment and decided to add fuel to the fire: "Wanpin must not say anything careless. If it gets out, it will be detrimental to Wanpin's reputation and will also make the emperor unhappy."

Concubine Cao glanced at Xia Dongchun inconspicuously and said, "Yes, your majesty may not mean what you said, but I'm afraid the listener may take it to heart. No matter how much Na Zhi promises, she can't compare to yours, so why ruin your mood for this?"

As expected, Zhen Huan not only did not stop because of Xia Dongchun and Cao Guiren's dissuasion, but directly said: "Since I have said it, I am not afraid of people spreading it. I am also worried that people like her will dirty the emperor's dragon bed."

Seeing this, Xia Dongchun didn't say anything else.

After coming out of Suiyu Pavilion, Xia Dongchun and Noble Borjigit got on their respective sedan chairs. On the way, Noble Borjigit frowned slightly and turned his head to talk to Xia Dongchun: "Sister, what do you think happened to Wanpin? She is not such a sarcastic person on weekdays. Why is she so outspoken today?"

Xia Dongchun raised the corners of her lips slightly and met the gaze of the noble Borjigit: "Who knows, maybe Wanpin really doesn't like Zhida Ying. After all, since Zhida Ying was favored, the emperor hasn't visited Wanpin for half a month."

Borjigit Noble was wondering why Xia Dongchun was so abnormal, but when she met her eyes, she immediately understood, cleared her throat, and said, "Sister, what you said makes sense. Wanpin is still a human being. As long as she is a human being, no matter how careful she is on weekdays, there will always be times when she makes mistakes. Perhaps it is because Zhida is so favored."

After Mr. Borjigit finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding what the other meant.

Although Lady Borjigit did not know the real reason why Xia Dongchun did this, it did not prevent her from cooperating with Xia Dongchun.

As expected, Zhen Huan's words spread quickly. Now many palace maids and eunuchs mentioned it, saying that it seemed that Zhi Da Ying was really favored, otherwise why would even Concubine Wan be anxious?

Moreover, it can be seen from this that General Nian did not really commit a crime against the Emperor, otherwise how could his sister, Concubine Hua, still be in favor as always, and even the maids around her could receive this honor?

But within two days, this matter was no longer so important in people's minds, because something bigger happened - Prince Dun intended to rebel, and the Emperor sent Prince Guo to surround his mansion and ransack his property.

This matter is much more serious than the jealousy among the concubines in the harem.

When Concubine Hua heard about this, she was also shocked. After being surprised, she became worried: "Zhou Ninghai, my brother has always had a good relationship with Prince Dun. Will the emperor be angry with my brother because of this?"
