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

Yinzhen handed the matter of dealing with Nian Yingying over to the Queen. Even based on the resentment over the years, the Queen would never give Nian Yingying a chance to live. Moreover, it was indeed Nian Yingying who ordered Suxi to burn down Yuxuan, so she was not wronged.

After knowing the result, Xia Dongchun no longer paid attention to this matter. After all, the most important thing for her now was to protect the baby in her belly.

It was the first snowfall of the day, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. Xia Dongchun was leaning on the beauty couch. There was a charcoal fire burning in the hall, and a thick blanket was spread on the ground. Ling Yuan was sitting on the blanket and playing, with the wet nurse and the palace maid guarding her by her side.

Xiao Yanzi ran in: "My lady, noble Qi is outside asking to see you."

Xia Dongchun frowned slightly as she flipped through the book in her hand. She was not very interested in poetry and books, and only flipped through a few pages to kill time when she was really bored. In addition, she found that Yinzhen seemed to like concubines who were well-versed in poetry and books, so she was willing to take a few more glances.

Xia Dongchun was already annoyed when reading, and now after hearing what Xiao Yanzi said, he became even more annoyed.

But before she could say anything, Concubine Qi came in.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Zhao." Concubine Qi smiled and bowed, wearing a string of red agate beads around her neck. "I feel close to you when I see you, so I came here uninvited. I hope you will forgive me."

Yun Ling helped Xia Dongchun sit up straight. Xia Dongchun signaled Xiao Yanzi to leave with her eyes, and turned to Noble Lady Qi and said, "Sister Qi is so enthusiastic that I was caught off guard."

Concubine Qi heard the sarcastic meaning in Xia Dongchun's words, but thinking about the purpose of her visit, she held back: "When I saw the queen, I felt close to her and couldn't help wanting to get closer to her."

"Mrs. Qi is thoughtful." Xia Dongchun said in a neutral tone, "But Mrs. Qi should have learned the rules before entering the palace. You came to see me, but you didn't wait for someone to pass the message and just barged in. It is against the rules. If the servants see it, they will inevitably laugh at the master for not knowing the rules, which will damage your reputation."

The smile on Concubine Qi's face froze. She had heard from the Empress that Concubine Zhao was not the same person in front of the Emperor and in front of others, but she didn't expect that even though she came here with such a smile on her face, Xia Dongchun would still not give her face.

Seeing that Concubine Qi didn't say anything, Xia Dongchun asked, "Sister Qi, do you think what I said is right? Is there any reason?"

Concubine Qi almost gnashed her teeth and replied: "Your Majesty is right. It was my fault for not considering it carefully. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind in the future."

"That's good." Xia Dongchun replied lazily, his eyes fell on Ling Yuan on the blanket again. Looking at the lively and lovely Ling Yuan, a real smile finally appeared on Xia Dongchun's face.

This made Concubine Qi even angrier. She had never been ignored like this before, but now she couldn't do anything to Xia Dongchun, so she felt even more aggrieved.

Now she stood here, not knowing whether to leave or not.

It would be too embarrassing to leave, but if she didn't leave, Xia Dongchun didn't seem to intend to let her sit down. Concubine Qi stood for a long time, and seeing that Xia Dongchun really had no intention of paying attention to her anymore, she could only grit her teeth and leave.

After Concubine Qi left, Yun Ling was a little worried: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi can barely be considered a new noble who is favored. What if she complains to the emperor?"

Xia Dongchun took the rattle beside him to tease Ling Yuan, and said at the same time: "Complain? What can she complain to the emperor? At most, she would just say that she was very warm and close to me, and I wanted to shut her out. But how can these words affect me?"

Yes, Xia Dongchun is pregnant now, so she should be careful about everything. Concubine Qi has just entered the palace, and Xia Dongchun has no friendship with her. Isn't it normal to be on guard? Besides, pregnant people need more rest. If Concubine Qi disturbs Xia Dongchun's pregnancy, Yinzhen will be unhappy.

After understanding this, Yun Ling felt relieved.

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Qi returned to her room, her face red with anger: "I have never been wronged like this since I was a child! It's okay that Nian was disrespectful to me some time ago, but when I tried to get close to Concubine Zhao like this, she still acted like that. It makes me lose face!"

Jingtai wanted to agree, but thinking that this was in the palace, he changed his mind and said, "Calm down, my lady. We are in the palace now, not at home. Isn't Zhaopin doing this because she is relying on the child in her belly? With your favor, she will have her own children sooner or later. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to vent your anger by then?"

Concubine Qi could listen to these words, but she was unwilling to swallow her anger like this: "Wait, I will have a good talk with the emperor when I see him!"

Jingtai did not try to dissuade her from this. She also understood her young mistress's temper. If she couldn't even file a complaint, Concubine Qi would be so angry that she would faint.

At dusk, Xiao Xiazi came to Chuxiu Palace and said, "I pay my respects to the noble lady Qi."

Concubine Qi was very proud. As expected, the emperor still liked her very much. However, she did not want to embarrass herself in front of the servants, so she pretended to be reserved: "Xiao Xiazi? What can the emperor do for you?"

Xiao Xiazi smiled and said, "My lady, the emperor will come to dine with you tonight, please prepare it."

"I understand." Concubine Qi smiled. It happened that she was going to see the emperor tonight and she would definitely tell him about her grievances today.

"If the young master has no other instructions, I will return to serve you." Xiao Xiazi bowed again and withdrew.

That night, Concubine Qi sat at the table, waiting anxiously. Although Xiao Xiazi had come to inform her in advance, as long as the emperor hadn't come, Concubine Qi couldn't help but be anxious, because she was always afraid that someone would ask the emperor to leave.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Su Peisheng's voice coming from outside: "The Emperor has arrived——"

Concubine Qi was delighted, and she stood up suddenly, walked out with Jingtai. When she saw Yinzhen, she bowed first: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yinzhen said "hmm" and walked inside: "Get up."

Concubine Qi stood up and followed Yinzhen into the house. When they got there, Yinzhen sat down first. Concubine Qi sat next to Yinzhen and pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. Instead, she let Jingtai speak first.

"Your Majesty, our young lady has suffered a great injustice today." Jingtai hurriedly said after receiving a look from Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi also spoke up at this time, scolding Jingtai: "Well, for the sake of the emperor, I don't mind if I suffer a little. You little girl, why do you say everything in front of the emperor? Get out of here quickly."

Yinzhen felt a little annoyed when he heard this. The last time Concubine Qi complained to him, she wanted him to punish Nian. He didn't know what he wanted to do this time.

But with the beauty in front of him, and she was so charming, Yinzhen could tolerate her little girl's attitude for the time being, so he asked casually: "What's the matter? Tell me."
