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

After returning home and having breakfast, Xia Dongchun took some Yunling, Quling and Dong'e Ejiao and went to Zhongcui Palace.

Currently, only Concubine Borjigit lives in Zhongcui Palace. Concubine Borjigit has been ill since she entered the palace and has not yet served the emperor. If she has not served the emperor at this time, it means that she is likely to be forgotten in the deep palace.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are accustomed to flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, so the Zhongcui Palace is now quite deserted.

When Xia Dongchun first stepped into Zhongcui Palace, he even thought that no one lived here.

In the huge palace, only a little palace maid was seen sweeping the floor. Yun Ling coughed twice, attracting the little palace maid's attention. The little palace maid raised her head and suddenly saw a stranger. She was unable to react for a while and stood there in a daze.

"Our lady is Concubine Xia. She heard that Lady Borjigit has been ill for a long time, so she came to visit." Qi Ling spoke, reminding the little palace maid that it was time to pay her respects.

As expected, the little palace maid reacted and hurriedly dropped the broom, bowing and saying, "I pay my respects to Concubine Xia."

"What's your name? Why are you alone? Where is your master? Is he feeling better?" Seeing that she was as timid as a quail, Xia Dongchun couldn't help but slow down his tone.

The young maid pursed her lips and whispered, "In reply to Concubine Xia, my name is Zi Su, and I am our young master's personal maid. Our young master is in the room. I will go and tell you."

"Okay, I'll wait here, you go." Xia Dongchun nodded, with no intention of making things difficult for her. After all, from her words, one could guess the current situation of Mr. Borjigit.

The little palace maid ran into the house in small steps, and came out again after a while: "My lady, our lady invites you in."

Xia Dongchun said to Qi Ling, "Qi Ling, you and Zi Su, go and stew some of the Dong'e Ejiao we brought with longan, and then bring it in. If there is no longan, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get some in my name."

"Yes." After Qi Ling agreed, she smiled at Zi Su and said, "Sister Zi Su, shall we go together?"

After hearing what Xia Dongchun said, Zi Su was very moved. Naturally, she would not refuse, so she took Qi Ling to the small kitchen.

Xia Dongchun brought Yun Ling into the house.

"Cough cough." Before he got close, he heard the cough of Nobleman Borjigit. Xia Dongchun frowned slightly - has no imperial physician ever come to see him?

"Is it Concubine Xia?" Noblewoman Borjigit leaned on the couch, her voice still a little weak. Although her face looked sick, she still had some grace. It was obvious that she was a beauty. Even if she was sick, she was still a sick beauty.

"Greetings to the nobleman." Since Xia Dongchun came to see her specially, she naturally would not put on a high attitude. Although in terms of favor at the moment, the nobleman Borjigit was definitely not as good as her, Xia Dongchun still did not omit the necessary etiquette.

Therefore, Lady Borjigit's face showed a little more surprise, but she did not forget to ask Xia Dongchun to sit down and talk: "Xia Changzai, there is no need to be polite, sit down and talk."

"Why is it so deserted here, Your Excellency? There aren't many maids or eunuchs. When I came here just now, I saw Your Excellency's personal maid doing rough work outside?" Xia Dongchun was puzzled. Although Your Excellency Borjigit was ill and had no favors, her family background was not bad. She was born in the upper three banners of the Mongolian Army. How could she have fallen to this point...

Hearing this, Borjigit smiled bitterly and said softly, "I am ill, so I don't need many people to serve me. Too many people will only make it noisy. Besides, they think there is no future for them to follow me, so I won't force them to do anything. I will just let them do what they want."

Xia Dongchun understood that Lady Borjigit should be facing the same situation as Zhen Huan.

However, their situations are slightly different. At least Zhen Huan has Shen Meizhuang to help her, but Lady Borjigit does not have a sister like Shen Meizhuang in the palace.

Faced with this situation, Xia Dongchun couldn't help but sigh that favor is really important in the palace.

Lady Borjigit was from a prominent family, and her family had produced a queen. Any daughter of the family who entered the palace would have a high rank.

Take Lady Borjigit for example. She was a lady as soon as she entered the palace, and she was the only one living in Zhongcui Palace.

This means that as long as Lady Borjigit is promoted to concubine, she will not have to move to another palace and can directly become the head of Zhongcui Palace.

But now she was unable to sleep with him due to illness, and even the Queen did not remember that she was still ill...

When Xia Dongchun thought of this, she felt that she and she had the same suffering in her previous life.

In addition, the reason why Lady Borjigit is in this situation now, in addition to the lack of favor, is probably also related to her own personality.

At least for now, Xia Dongchun felt that Lady Borjigit was gentle and didn't care about anything, which led to those palace maids and eunuchs ignoring her mother's family and daring to seek their own way out.

"The New Year's Eve family dinner is coming soon, and the noble is sick. What should we do then?" Xia Dongchun found a seat and sat down, looking at the noble Borjigit.

"It's not appropriate to see people when you are sick. The New Year's Eve family dinner is supposed to be a time for reunion. I am sick, so even if I go, I'm afraid I will be disliked." Borjigit said softly, "I was planning to ask Zisu to report to the Queen."

"Your Highness should recover as soon as possible." Xia Dongchun said, "Among the people who entered the palace with us, except for you and Zhen... Wan Changzai who is unable to sleep with you due to illness, there is only Chun Changzai who is still young, and there is also An who has agreed."

"I heard early in the morning that Concubine Wan was also ill. How come she hasn't recovered yet?" Noblewoman Borjigit wondered.

"Yes, I have been ill since I entered the palace, and have been ill ever since."

"My lady, the Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin and longan soup is ready. Drink some while it's hot." At this time, Zi Su and Qi Ling came in with a tray in their hands with a bowl of Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin and longan soup on the plate.

"Is this what Concubine Xia brought?" Noblewoman Borjigit quickly realized what was happening and looked at Xia Dongchun with gratitude. "Concubine Xia and I have never had any contact before, but Concubine Xia came to see me. I am very grateful and will definitely remember this kindness."

"Your Excellency's words are too kind." Xia Dongchun waved her hands. She could not bear such a favor. She just wanted to see Borjigit out of pity. How could she have the nerve to accept such a favor?

"Your Excellency's beauty is more beautiful than snow. Even when you are sick, you still look graceful." Seeing her like this, Xia Dongchun couldn't help but encourage her, "You still have to get well soon, so that you can have a bright future."
