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

Concubine Qi bit her lip, her expression vague, and she dared not say a word.

An Lingrong also shut up. If Concubine Qi had not provoked her first, she would not have bothered to provoke Concubine Qi. After all, in An Lingrong's opinion, such a stupid person was not worth arguing with.

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi with a look of disappointment: "You too, since you entered the palace, the Emperor has not accompanied you the most times, but compared to An Da Ying, it is much more. However, An Da Ying successfully saved herself through the Wanshou Festival, but you have not made any progress at all. And now you still have the mind to argue with An Da Ying here?"

Hearing this, Concubine Qi looked away guiltily, not daring to look at the Queen.

The queen became even more angry when she saw her cowardly appearance: "Weren't you so eloquent just now? Why are you mute now?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's all my fault." Concubine Qi lowered her head and admitted her mistake without thinking.

"Incompetent?" The queen sneered, "It's not that you are incompetent, but that others are too capable. Seeing the babies in Chun Guiren and Zhaopin's bellies growing bigger day by day, these three to five months can be slow or fast. When the babies in their bellies are born, if they are princes, you will have nothing to do with them."

Lady Qi said without thinking: "What's the point of giving birth to a child? Raising a child is a skill."

The Queen's face suddenly turned darker than charcoal. An Lingrong looked at Concubine Qi in shock, then looked at the Queen's face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Concubine Qi hadn't reacted at all and was still holding her chin up arrogantly.

The queen took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with this fool: "Alright, all of you go back and think about it carefully, and see if there is any way to relieve me of my worries."

"Yes." Concubine Qi and An Lingrong both stood up, "I'll take my leave."

After the two of them left, Jianqiu closed the door and said angrily, "Noble Lady Qi is so bold and stupid! She dares to say anything in front of Your Majesty. Why don't you teach her a lesson? So that she will remember it and not speak rudely to you next time."

"Since we know she is extremely stupid, why should we bother with her? It's not worth it to get angry and ruin your body?" The Queen said calmly, "It doesn't matter if she is a little stupid, as long as she is obedient enough and willing to work for me, it's better than Wanpin who is smart but a stumbling block to me."

"Your Majesty is wise." Jianqiu nodded and asked, "So, are we just going to let this matter go?"

"I can only hold it back for now." The Queen closed her eyes. "I was a little impatient this time. I was only concerned about punishing Concubine Zhao for dragging her into this situation, but I forgot to guess the Emperor's thoughts. It's a good game of chess, but if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game."

"It's okay. Your Majesty is the master of the six palaces. There is still a long way to go." Jianqiu comforted.

"From now on, I will have to be more careful in my actions." The queen murmured to herself.

Anyway, this incident has passed. Although Yinzhen did not agree with the Queen's decision to punish Xia Dongchun, and said that he believed this matter had nothing to do with Xia Dongchun, he seemed to be holding a grudge and had not visited Xia Dongchun for several days.

After the first month of the lunar year, Yinzhen had not come to the Yanx Palace once. Oh, no, he came once during this period, but he went to An Lingrong's place.

Yunling and Xiaoyanzi got angry when they saw it, but Xia Dongchun didn't seem to care. He just told Yunling to close the window and didn't mention anything else.

Yun Ling was anxious, so she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why aren't you anxious at all? The Emperor hasn't been here to accompany you for several days. The only time he came to the Yanxi Palace was to the side hall where An Yingying lived!"

"What's the hurry?" Xia Dongchun was feeding Ling Yuan, so her tone was very gentle. "If the emperor doesn't want to come, it's useless for us to be anxious. If the emperor wants to come, then no one can stop him. If we rush to fight for him now, we will only mess up our situation."

After a pause, Xia Dongchun continued, "Besides, even if you don't care about other things, you still have to take care of the baby in my belly, right? It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't come now. When the child is born safely, the emperor will come naturally without us having to ask or fight for him. It's just right that after these few months, the emperor can slowly forget about this matter."

"So that's what the Majesty planned." Yun Ling nodded, then puffed her cheeks and complained, "But when I saw An Da Ying's expression, I got angry for the Majesty. The Emperor only asked her to sleep with him once, but the maids and eunuchs around her were so proud. If you didn't know, you would think she was the master of the Yanxi Palace."

"Alright, alright." Xia Dongchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she wanted to comfort Yun Ling instead, "Let's not rush to take action for now, let's first watch the good show between Concubine Qi and An Lingrong, when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits."

"Oh, why is our Lingyuan's face so dirty?" As he was speaking, Xia Dongchun noticed that Lingyuan was holding a piece of cake in her hand and chewing it with great relish. Her face was covered with cake crumbs. He felt much better and took a handkerchief to wipe Lingyuan's face.

"Yinzhu should also keep a close eye on Baoying. Even though we have given her a lot, benefits are still attractive. What if Baoying really turns against us and chooses to be loyal to An Lingrong? Then for us, it would be like handing an evidence to An Lingrong. Then our situation would be difficult." After coaxing Ling Yuan, Xia Dongchun instructed Yinzhu again.

Yin Zhu nodded: "I have remembered everything. I have been keeping an eye on Baoying in secret. Until now, Baoying still hates An Da Ying."

"That's good." Xia Dongchun nodded, "In the middle of this month, the ceremony for conferring the title of Concubine to Concubine Chun will be held. Remember to prepare gifts for the celebration."

"Yes." Yun Ling and Yin Zhu said in unison.
