Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode
Chapter 18 Being targeted
Noble Lady Fucha couldn't curse enough, and couldn't smash enough. In the end, she got so angry that she had a headache, and she asked Sang'er to call the imperial physician before she stopped.
Xia Dongchun didn’t know about this for the time being because Yinzhen came to see her after leaving the court.
"Why, do you like those koi fish?" Yinzhen shook the beads in his hand twice, sat on the mahogany armchair, and asked.
Xia Dongchun sat on the other side of the table and replied with a smile, "I like it. I was thinking about thanking the emperor later, but I didn't expect the emperor to come in person."
Yinzhen glanced at the glass fish tank that had just been placed in the room. The servants had taken care of it, and the few fish in it were all carefully selected and delivered, which showed that the servants were dedicated to their work. Yinzhen was quite satisfied.
"I came to see you after the court session." Yinzhen only sat for a moment before he stood up and left. "I have agreed with Concubine Hua to have breakfast at Yikun Palace, so I will leave first. If you need anything, please tell the Queen."
"Yes, I thank the emperor." Xia Dongchun sent Yinzhen away, and when she saw him go away, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Yunling, "Did I say anything wrong just now?"
"No, my lady is very well behaved." Yun Ling cleaned up the tea that Yinzhen had brought to her when he came just now, fed the fish food, and asked someone to serve breakfast.
Xia Dongchun looked at the fish in the glass tank, feeling both joy and confusion about the future.
But no matter what, everything is moving in a good direction right now, and that is something to be happy about.
Qixiang Palace
"What did you say?" Lipin frowned. She was having breakfast. Upon hearing this, she put down her chopsticks heavily and looked back at the maid Dan'er beside her. "The emperor went to the Yanxi Palace as soon as he left the court? He didn't go directly to Concubine Hua's place?"
Dan'er nodded and said, "To answer your Majesty, it is like this. I heard from Xiao Xiazi, who is beside the emperor, that the emperor went to the Yanxi Palace first, and sat there for about an incense stick of time before going to the Yikun Palace to see Concubine Hua."
Lipin stood up, and it was seen that she had a plump figure and excellent appearance. It was for this reason that she was given the title "Li" in the first place, and Yinzhen used this to praise her good complexion.
"But did you go to Noble Lady Fucha's place?" asked Concubine Li.
Dan Er shook her head: "No, I heard that Concubine Xia was there, and Concubine Fucha was very angry about it. She was so angry that she had a headache. She even called the imperial physician to treat her, but she only told outsiders to check her pulse."
Lipin sneered: "I wonder how Concubine Hua will react after hearing this news. Who cares about summer, winter, spring, autumn, winter, spring? If you offend Concubine Hua, no one will have an easy life!"
"Your Majesty is right," Dan'er agreed, "Just look at Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Shen. Their family backgrounds are better than Concubine Xia's, but Concubine Hua still has them under control, right? Isn't it Concubine Hua and you who have the final say on whether a little concubine lives a good life?"
Lipin snorted, and a malicious smile appeared on her face: "Tell someone to pay attention. As soon as the emperor leaves, we will go to Yikun Palace."
Dan'er understood what she meant immediately and agreed: "Yes, I will find someone to keep an eye on it right away."
Fortunately, Xia Dongchun didn't know these things at the moment, otherwise the purple stone that symbolized grace would only cause her a headache.
About an hour later, Dan'er came in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yinzi said that the emperor has returned to the Yangxin Palace."
"Okay, call Concubine Cao, and let's go to Yikun Palace together to talk with Concubine Hua." Concubine Li gave the order as she walked hurriedly.
Dan'er gave a look to the palace maid next to her, and the maid understood and hurried to the East Hall to invite Concubine Cao.
Concubine Cao was coaxing her daughter, Princess Wen Yi. Upon hearing this, her eyes flickered twice. She handed Princess Wen Yi to the wet nurse and went out with the palace maid Yin Xiu.
After leaving Qixiang Palace, Lipin glanced at Concubine Cao who was following her and raised her eyebrows: "Do you know what we are going to do in Yikun Palace now?"
Concubine Cao glanced at her, then turned her gaze forward again: "I am stupid, please teach me, Sister Lipin."
Lipin raised her chin proudly: "This morning, the emperor went to the Yanxi Palace after leaving the court, and then went to the Empress Hua's place for breakfast. Guess who the emperor went to see in the Yanxi Palace?"
Concubine Cao seemed to know nothing and covered her lips. "Going to Yanxi Palace? I guess the emperor went to see Concubine Fucha, right? Concubine Fucha and Concubine Shen have won the emperor's favor recently. They are new talents in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Lipin showed an expression of "as expected" and rolled her eyes at Cao Guiren: "What do you know? The Emperor went to see Concubine Xia this morning."
"Sister Lipin is well-informed. I knew nothing about it." Concubine Cao praised Lipin tactfully.
Lipin was so proud that her waist was almost broken along the way.
Concubine Cao was a step behind her and covered her lips with a handkerchief with a look of disgust behind her.
When they arrived at the Yikun Palace, they went in together after Zhou Ninghai announced it. Concubine Hua was sitting cross-legged on the couch looking at the records of the Jingshifang. When she saw the two of them coming, she lazily raised her eyelids and asked, "What's the matter? You came to see me so early in the morning. The emperor had just left and you came right after him."
"Greetings, Her Majesty." Concubine Li and Noble Lady Cao bowed together, and Songzhi asked someone to bring stools so that they could sit down and talk. This was how it had always been before.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor went to the Yanx Palace where Concubine Xia was right after the court session this morning, and then came to the Yiku Palace." Concubine Li hurriedly told the news she had received, fearing that she would be a step late and let Concubine Cao get there first.
Concubine Cao looked at her and said nothing, her expression was very docile.
As soon as Lipin finished speaking, Cao Guiren saw Hua Fei using force to flip through the records in the Jingshifang, and a page of paper was quickly wrinkled.
Concubine Hua glared at him: "The Emperor actually went to Xia's place first?"
"Yes," Lipin didn't notice that Concubine Hua was already angry, and continued, "Last night was the first time Xia Shi served the emperor. I think that vixen pleased the emperor, and the emperor asked Xiao Xia to deliver a reward this morning, one of which was the purple stone."
After a pause, Lipin continued, "That purple stone is extremely precious. Even the Queen and Your Majesty don't have it. She was the only one in the palace who was given it. The Emperor really thinks highly of her."
Hua Fei threw away the record book in her hand and glared at Li Fei: "Will I become mute if I don't speak?"
Concubine Li was startled and opened her eyes wide and stopped talking.
Concubine Cao then spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Xia is reckless and not to be feared. Having her is just the right way to share the favor of Concubine Shen and Concubine Fucha, isn't it? I heard that Concubine Xia is not on good terms with Concubine Shen, and her relationship with Concubine Fucha is not very good either."
