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

Two days later, Chunpin's mother entered the palace. Chunpin was extremely happy. It was said that she even ate more for dinner.

Xia Dongchun was making tiger-head shoes for her unborn baby, but she slowed down when she heard the news.

Yun Ling guessed her thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be envious. In a few days, Madam will also come to the palace to accompany Your Majesty."

"I just feel a little emotional." Xia Dongchun whispered, "As long as Concubine Chun gives birth to a prince safely this time, she will have completely established her foothold."

"Your Majesty too." Yun Ling smiled and tried to cheer her up. "Your Majesty already has a princess. If you give birth to a healthy little prince this time, then you will have both a son and a daughter."

"By the way, where is Yinzhu?" Xia Dongchun didn't see Yinzhu, so he couldn't help but ask another question.

Yun Ling smiled and said, "Sister Yin Zhu knew that the queen didn't have a good appetite, so she went to the kitchen to cook Jade Mushroom Soup for the queen."

"Then..." Xia Dongchun looked around and beckoned a young palace maid over, "What's your name?"

The little palace maid bowed and said in a low and thin voice, sounding very timid: "Your servant Chan Yi."

"Chan Yi, go to Noble Lady Qing and tell her that I want to invite her to go see Concubine Chun tomorrow."

The little palace maid named Chan Yi responded obediently: "Yes, I will go right away."

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of visiting Concubine Chun?" Yun Ling was puzzled.

Xia Dongchun said, "Didn't they say that Concubine Qi went to Yonghe Palace a few days ago? Let's go and take a look. I always feel that Concubine Qi has bad intentions. Seeing that Concubine Chun is about to give birth, can some people really keep their temper?"

On the other side, Chan Yi showed her face in front of Xia Dongchun for the first time. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was very excited in her heart.

She had calculated that in a few years, Sister Yinzhu would be old enough to leave the palace, and by then there would be a vacant position of a senior palace maid beside Concubine Zhao. If she behaved well in the next few years and won favor with Concubine Zhao, perhaps she could fill Sister Yinzhu's position.

Thinking of this, Chan Yi quickened her pace and soon arrived at Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Qing was out of favor during this period and had not seen the emperor many times in half a year, but the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to treat Concubine Qing harshly for the sake of Xia Dongchun's face.

When the young eunuch heard that Chan Yi was Concubine Zhao's servant in the Yanx Palace, he politely asked Chan Yi to wait for a moment, and then hurried in to pass on the message.

Chan Yi met Concubine Qing and explained her purpose. Concubine Qing said she knew what she was talking about and asked another question: "I don't think I've seen you before. Are you the new one who was transferred to serve Concubine Zhao?"

Chan Yi's round face was full of smiles. She knew that Concubine Qing and Concubine Zhao had a good relationship, so she was naturally close and respectful to Concubine Qing: "In reply to Concubine Qing, I just came to serve in the Yanxi Palace a month ago. Today is the first time I am delivering a message to you on behalf of the Empress."

"You are quite clever." Concubine Qing smiled, "Serve your queen well, and you will benefit from it in the future."

"Yes, I will do my best." After hearing this, Chan Yi's answer became more powerful.

After coming out of Zhongcui Palace, Chan Yi could hardly hide her smile. She walked happily on the palace road, but met Concubine Qi head-on.

Chan Yi knew that her madam and Concubine Qi didn't have a good relationship, but she was a servant after all, and the palace rules were strict, so she quickly bowed: "This servant greets Concubine Qi."

Concubine Qi was sitting on the sedan chair. She had just been scolded by the Empress and was in a bad mood after coming out of Jingren Palace. Now she met an unknown little palace maid and said unhappily, "Which palace are you from? How dare you block my way here?"

Chan Yi was stunned and subconsciously looked behind her. She was not blocking the way. Could it be that Concubine Qi recognized her as Concubine Zhao's person and was deliberately making things difficult for her?

But no matter what, Chan Yi still nodded and lowered her eyebrows: "It's all because of my lack of vision. Please forgive me, noble Qi."

Concubine Qi was upset and took it out on the maid: "I asked you which palace you are from, why did you answer irrelevantly?! Do you have any opinion about me?"

Chan Yi knelt down quickly and said, "I am a servant of Concubine Zhao in Yanxi Palace."

"It turned out to be Concubine Zhao..." Concubine Qi's eyes rolled, she touched the red jade bead on her neck, and said sternly, "You, a lowly servant, are disrespectful to me. Jingtai, arrest her and bring her to Concubine Zhao!"

"My lady..." Jingtai hesitated a little and whispered to Concubine Qi, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Concubine Qi frowned again and winked at Jingtai. Jingtai had no choice but to step forward and said to Chanyi condescendingly, "Let's go."

Chan Yi felt that she had suffered an unexpected disaster, but she could not resist, so she had to follow Concubine Zhao to the Yanx Palace. She believed that with Concubine Zhao's temperament, she would definitely make the decision for her first!

When they arrived at the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Qi tried to go in without waiting for the order, but was stopped by Xiao Yanzi: "Concubine Qi, please wait for me to tell you before going in. No matter how important the matter is, the palace has strict rules and regulations, and you must not lose your manners."

"Well, you slave, you actually teach my master a lesson." Concubine Qi pointed at Xiao Yanzi and said, "I came here today to ask Concubine Zhao to make the decision, so I'll wait for you to pass the message."

Xiao Yanzi naturally knew his own palace acquaintances. He gave Chan Yi a subtle look, signaling her to be at ease, and then turned around to go in and pass on the message.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is here." Xiao Yanzi explained the situation outside in one breath. "The two young eunuchs beside her are holding our palace maid Chan Yi. Concubine Qi keeps saying that she is here to ask Your Majesty for help. I guess she has some evidence against her and is here to call for punishment."

"Oh?" Xia Dongchun supported her waist and stood up. "Okay, let her come in. I want to see what kind of trouble she is going to stir up after taking my people away."

Xiao Yanzi went out and called Concubine Qi in.

As soon as she entered the palace, Concubine Qi raised her chin and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Zhao. It's rare that the Concubine is not hiding and is willing to see me. I came here today because I have something important to say."

"Lady Qi, you've come just in time." Xia Dongchun sat in the main seat, and her arrogant attitude was no less than that of Lady Qi. "It just so happens that I also want to ask, why was Chan Yi brought back by you, Lady Qi, in my palace? What did she do wrong to have you, your men, hold her like this?"
