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

Even if Noble Lady Fucha was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to bow her head because she was under someone else's roof.

It was not until the third quarter of the night that Concubine Hua opened her eyes, yawned, and slowly raised her eyes to say to Noble Lady Fucha through the gauze curtain: "It's late, and I'm tired. Let's stop here today, Noble Lady Fucha, please go back first."

Noble Lady Fucha was so cold that she almost lost consciousness. She didn't react for a moment after hearing this. She was stunned for a moment before she saluted stiffly: "Yes, I will take my leave."

Taking Sang'er out of the Yikun Palace, Noble Lady Fucha gritted her teeth and supported Sang'er. Sang'er knelt outside for nearly an hour, and his knees were probably blue.

Sang'er originally wanted to support Noble Lady Fucha, but she had difficulty walking on her own, and in the end it was Noble Lady Fucha who supported her more.

When they returned to the Yanxi Palace, the lights in Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong's palaces had already been turned off. Noble Lady Fucha took a quick glance and saw a row of imperial attendants standing guard outside Xia Dongchun's palace. Then she realized what was happening and asked Sang'er, "Is Xia Dongchun sleeping with you today?"

Sang'er nodded: "Yes, Xiao Xiazi came here during the day today."

Noble Lady Fucha was even more angry. She had been tortured in Hua Fei's Yikun Palace, and Xia Dongchun was fine, accepting the favor here in a tactful way? !

Sang'er saw what Noble Lady Fucha was thinking and said quickly, "My lady, it's late at night. Let's go back and get some rest. We have to pay our respects to the Empress tomorrow morning."

Noble Lady Fucha withdrew her gaze and turned back to her own palace.

Inside the house, Sang'er asked the eunuch Xiao Dezi to bring hot water, and sent Xiao Dezi to the corridor to keep watch, while he helped Noble Lady Fucha to wash.

Noble Lady Fucha glanced at her hands, which were red and swollen from the cold, and whispered, "When I entered the palace, my father told me to keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity... But now, in this situation, how can I bear it?"

"My lady, don't worry," Sang'er took the handkerchief beside her and wiped Noble Lady Fucha's feet, comforting her, "Among the new ladies entering the palace, you and Noble Lady Shen are the most favored. Concubine Xia only sleeps with you once in a while. With your favor, she will get pregnant sooner or later. Once she gets pregnant, with your family background, you may be promoted to a concubine and become the head of a palace. By then, we won't even need to move to another palace."

This is true. There is no chief lady in the Yanx Palace now. Noble Lady Fucha does have the best family background among the three people in the Yanx Palace. She is from the Manchu Military Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner, and her family is large. Her position when she entered the palace was also the highest among the three. If she has an heir to the throne and gives birth to a prince in the future, it is not impossible for her to be promoted to a concubine.

Noble Lady Fucha sighed: "I hope so, but I don't know how long I will have to live like this."

"Oh, by the way, young lady," Sang'er pointed at the material on the table and said, remembering something, "Should we send the material sent by Concubine Xia to the embroidery house to make a dress? I think the color is good and it will suit you very well."

"Xia Dongchun?" Following Sang'er's words, Noble Lady Fucha's eyes fell on the material on the table that had not been put away yet, and she sneered, "The material is good, but what does she mean? But what good things does she have? Don't we have any? Who are you looking down on?"

"What about this material..." Sang'er asked tentatively.

"It just so happens that the weather has become colder these past two days. I see that the new clothes that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has allocated to you are just so-so. Since you are the most capable person around me, you should wear better clothes." Noble Lady Fucha said lightly, "I'll take it and make you a set of clothes tomorrow morning."

Although her master and Concubine Xia did not get along, it was obvious that only the masters could afford such material. Sang'er was naturally happy to get such a good thing, but she did not dare to show it. She just replied, "Thank you, my lady."

The next morning, Xia Dongchun got up early and took Yunling to Jingren Palace. Almost everyone was there, except Concubine Hua, who had slept late the previous night and therefore did not come today.

This kind of thing happened more than once or twice. In the past, Concubine Hua would at most be late, or the day after she had slept with Yinzhen, and then she would make an excuse not to serve him.

But last night Yinzhen turned over Xia Dongchun's card, and the Queen naturally knew it. So when she saw that no one was sitting in Hua Fei's position, the Queen's face turned cold.

"It looks like Concubine Hua is not planning to come today." Concubine Qi said in a low voice.

Although she spoke in a low voice, everyone present heard it.

The queen sat high on the throne and said coldly, "I am the queen and she is the concubine. She must come to pay her respects to me."

"That's right, the one above is the real queen." Xin Changzai echoed.

Xia Dongchun has a clear understanding of her current position. At least, she would not dare to say what Xin Chang just said.

Although they are both concubines, Xin Changzai is an old lady in the palace. She entered the palace when the current emperor was still in the palace.

What's more, Concubine Xin also has a daughter, and she is just a Concubine who has just entered the palace and is not the most favored one.

So she just watched what happened today.

As he was speaking, Jiang Fuhai came in and said, "Empress, Zhou Ninghai from Concubine Hua's side wants to see you."

The Queen said, "Ask him to come in."

"Yes." Jiang Fuhai stepped back, and after a moment, Zhou Ninghai limped in.

"Your servant greets the Empress, and greets all the ladies and young ladies." Zhou Ninghai bowed first, and before the Empress could speak, he continued, "Empress Hua is not feeling well today, so I'm afraid she can't come to pay respects, so I sent your servant to inform the Empress. I hope you can forgive me."

The Queen was silent for a moment before she said, "In that case, let Concubine Hua take good care of herself and you can leave."

Zhou Ninghai took two steps back and turned to leave.

"What kind of thing is this?" Xin Changzai curled her lips. "If she was not feeling well and could not come to pay her respects, she should have sent someone to tell us earlier. Why did she make all of us wait here for her?"

The queen lowered her eyes for a moment and said, "Well, it's almost the end of the year. The New Year's Eve banquet will be held in a few days. You all should prepare well. I am also tired. You can all leave now."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Everyone stood up, bowed, and left.
