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

The news that Xia Dongchun was pregnant spread quickly. Now, in addition to Concubine Chun, there was another pregnant concubine in the palace.

When the queen returned to Jingren Palace, Jianqiu looked at her face and asked, "Is your headache coming on again? I can see that your face doesn't look very good."

The Queen sat on the couch and pinched her brows: "Noble Consort Chun is pregnant, and now Consort Zhao is also pregnant. Originally, Consort Nian became a concubine, which finally made me feel relieved. But now so many troubles have happened again, which really gives me a headache."

Jianqiu also sighed, and then tried to comfort the queen: "Your Majesty, don't worry. After all, Nian can't make trouble anymore, right? Besides, the emperor has also agreed to select someone from the family of meritorious officials. Your Majesty, you can pick a well-behaved and obedient one to come in, so that you can share your worries."

"Forget it. This is the only solution for now. No matter what, my biggest worry is finally eliminated." Thinking of how Nian Shilan had suddenly changed from the most powerful and favored Concubine Hua to the current Nian Danying, the Queen could finally relieve the anger that had been pent up in her heart for many years.

In An Lingrong's room in the Yanxi Palace, Baoying came in with a cup of freshly brewed hot tea: "My lady, please drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. Our house is cold in winter and hot in summer. Now that it is late autumn, it is always a bit cold. My lady, you are not in good health to begin with, so don't get frozen."

An Lingrong held the silk thread in her hand. She looked up and smiled, "Put it down first."

But she felt uncomfortable in her heart. When she first entered the palace, she had a poor family background and a low position, so no one cared about her. The Empress said that it was Nian who was in charge of allocating residences in the palace. It would have been fine if she had been put in the same room with Xia Dongchun and Fucha, two people who did not get along well with each other, but her room was the worst one.

As her thoughts drifted away, An Lingrong couldn't help but think of Xia Dongchun, who had just been diagnosed with pregnancy today.

She also wanted to have a child, no matter if it was a prince or a princess, at least in this harem, she would have a place to settle down for the time being.

But the Empress did not allow her to get pregnant, and now the Emperor did not want to see her either. He might have already forgotten about her.

Furthermore, from what the Queen said, she was planning to select a new person to enter the palace. By that time, wouldn't there be even less place for her to stand?

An Lingrong was sorting out the silk threads, feeling increasingly annoyed. If a new person entered the palace and the Empress had someone else available, would she become an abandoned child?

Baoying observed An Lingrong's expression imperceptibly, thought for a moment, and then tentatively said, "Alas, now in the palace, besides Concubine Chun who is pregnant, there is also Concubine Zhao, but the Empress has always forbidden you to get pregnant, saying that she will plead for you, but this will have to wait until next month. If the new person enters the palace, how can the Emperor take care of other things?"

It sounds like he is truly standing up for An Lingrong.

An Lingrong said, "Baoying, I know you are doing this for my own good, but you can't speculate and blame the Queen like this."

But in my heart I felt that Baoying's words made sense.

She herself was quite dissatisfied with the Queen's refusal to let her get pregnant, but she was powerless to resist now.

Two days later, the queen had chosen the person - Guaerjia Wenyuan. Her father Guaerjia Emin was also a meritorious official in the removal of Nian Gengyao.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs drafted a title for her, and after the Empress discussed it with Yinzhen, her status as a noble lady was determined. Soon, Noble Lady Qi, Guaerjia Wenyuan, entered the palace.

Leaving aside other things, just talking about Concubine Qi's appearance, it was first-rate. On the day when she first entered the palace to pay her respects to the Queen and the ladies in other palaces, when the concubines saw her, it was inevitable that some of them would feel a sense of crisis.

After all, this noble lady Qi has outstanding looks and a good family background. She is also the daughter of a meritorious official. If she becomes pregnant in the future, she will become a thorn in the eyes of many people.

"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health." It was the first time that Concubine Qi paid her respects, and she knelt down to pay her respects with a smile on her face.

Concubine Qi was wearing a lilac-colored camellia-patterned brocade flag dress, which made her look very beautiful.

The queen smiled and raised her hand: "Get up, we are sisters from now on. Lady Qi, you must serve the emperor wholeheartedly."

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions." After Noble Lady Qi stood up, she greeted the concubines in each palace, "I greet Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Wan."

Concubine Duan was not there today, so Concubine Qi did not see her.

"Noble Lady Qi is also the daughter of a meritorious official. Once she enters the palace, she will become a sister to everyone else." The Queen looked at everyone, "From now on, everyone should live in harmony."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.

"I heard at home that Concubine Zhao was pregnant," Concubine Qi stood up and looked at Xia Dongchun again, her face full of smiles, "Concubine Zhao is indeed blessed."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Although Xia Dongchun didn't like Concubine Qi, she didn't show any displeasure: "Sister Qi is really sweet. If there is someone like Sister Qi in the harem, we will be more lively."

Concubine Xin sat at the end and muttered in a low voice, "It's going to be lively from now on. I see Concubine Qi's eyebrows and eyes are full of calculations. With someone like her, how can it not be lively?"

"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can all go back. The weather is getting colder now, so you all need to take care of yourselves and not catch a cold." The queen reminded everyone and asked them to go back.

Xia Dongchun got on the sedan chair. Today, Yin Zhu was accompanying her. When she was about to leave, she was stopped by Concubine Qi. Xia Dongchun said a few polite words to her and then suggested going back to the Yanx Palace first.

Concubine Qi did not delay any longer and quickly caught up with Zhen Huan and went to talk to her.

Xia Dongchun looked at him from a distance, chuckled, and said nothing.

Yin Zhu followed her gaze and turned around to whisper, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so nosy. You are pregnant and Doctor Xu also said that the fetus is unstable and you need to be extremely careful. Concubine Qi just said that she will talk to you when she has time. Do you really want to see her?"

Xia Dongchun leaned on the sedan chair, patted her belly, and said slowly: "She is very enthusiastic, and I don't want people to think that I am mean and cold. I will just agree to it for the sake of politeness. When she really comes, whether she will meet me or not will depend on my opinion, right?"

"So that's how it is. I worried for nothing." Yin Zhu smiled and felt relieved. After the last miscarriage, Yin Zhu has been very cautious. She felt that Concubine Qi might not be as easy to get along with as she seemed. Xia Dongchun is pregnant now, so it's better to be careful.
