Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode
Chapter 40 Promoted to a nobleman
Yinzhen turned to Xia Dongchun and said, "You have been in the palace for half a year. You have served the queen diligently and respected her. Now that you are pregnant, it is time for you to be promoted."
The Queen did not object: "Your Majesty and I are of the same mind."
After a pause, the queen was about to continue speaking, but unexpectedly Yinzhen spoke first.
"Su Peisheng, convey my order and inform the six palaces that Jin Xia Changzai is a noble lady."
"Yes, I'll go later." Su Peisheng agreed.
The queen had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Pregnancy in summer, winter and spring can bring joy to some and sorrow to others.
Yinzhen and the Queen sat in the Yanx Palace for a while and then left. As soon as they left, Noble Lady Borjigit arrived.
"Sister, I heard that you are pregnant? Is it true?" Lady Borjigit was very surprised. When she heard the news in Zhongcui Palace, she was so happy that the teacup in her hand broke into pieces.
"Well, the imperial physician has come to see him, and the emperor and the empress just left." Xia Dongchun nodded.
Borjigit was happy but also a little worried: "I am happy that you are pregnant, but we don't know what others are like. From today on, you must be careful in everything."
"Thank you, sister." Xia Dongchun held her hand. "Sister, have you had breakfast? If not, can you have it from me?"
Xia Dongchun was so happy just now that he didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
Borjigit shook his head and said, "I came here as soon as I heard the news. I haven't even had breakfast yet. Since my sister has spoken, I will respectfully obey your order."
Qi Ling went out to serve the meal. The people in the imperial kitchen were well-informed, or perhaps it was the order of Yinzhen and the Queen, they hurriedly replaced Xia Dongchun's breakfast, and what was served now were all foods that pregnant women did not need to avoid.
They were all happy in the Yanx Palace, but it was a different scene over there with Noble Lady Fucha.
"Pregnant? How come she is the only one who has such good fortune?" Noble Lady Fucha felt that her breakfast was no longer tasty after half of it was eaten. "Is it true or false? Could it be that the imperial physician made a misdiagnosis?"
Noble Lady Fucha couldn't understand it. If she was told that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant now, she would be more able to accept it. After all, in her opinion, she and Shen Meizhuang were both more favored than Xia Dongchun. How come Xia Dongchun was pregnant first?
Although Sang'er also hoped that the news was false, things could not go as they wished this time: "My lady, it is true. The one who took Concubine Xia's pulse was the Imperial Doctor Jiang who is the most expert in women and infants in the Imperial Hospital. The Empress also checked the records of the Jingshifang, and it is all true."
Noble Lady Fucha immediately lost her mood to eat: "Noble Lady? Now that's great. Originally her position was below mine, but now that she's pregnant, she has to be on an equal footing with me. This is really a headache."
Sang'er handed over a soft handkerchief and said, "My lady, don't be angry. With your grace, isn't it only a matter of time before she gets pregnant? Lady Xia is just luckier and got pregnant first."
"That being said, I'm still angry." Noblewoman Fucha took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "And Noblewoman Borjigit, she comes from a good family. I thought that since she's recovered from her illness and is serving the emperor, maybe I could make friends with her. Who knew that she was also a bad judge of people and had such a good relationship with Xia Dongchun."
"My lady, don't worry. Lady Xia is pregnant. Does Lady Borjigit really have no resentment at all?" Sang'er said, "There are no real sisters in this palace. The news that Lady Xia is pregnant has just come out. Lady Borjigit may be happy for her for a while, but as time goes by, we may see another drama of sisters turning against each other."
Fucha Noblewoman pondered for a moment and felt that what Sang'er said made sense. Indeed, before she entered the palace, her father and mother had told her that she should respect the Empress in the palace, but never trust anyone.
So... Noble Lady Fucha raised her eyebrows and smiled. She was looking forward to the day when Xia Dongchun and Noble Lady Borjigit would turn against each other.
However, if Noble Borjigit knew her idea, he would probably just sneer at her. She remembered the kindness Xia Dongchun had shown her. Although it might not seem like much to others, to her, it was a kindness worth remembering for a lifetime.
On this side, Sang'er finally calmed down Noble Lady Fucha. On the other side, An Lingrong stared blankly out the window, not saying a word for a long time.
Baojuan looked very worried. Ever since Xia Dongchun hurriedly invited the imperial physician this morning, and later there was news that Xia Dongchun was pregnant and was named a noble lady, An Lingrong just sat there, not even having breakfast, and didn't say a word.
An Lingrong couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment. When she was sent out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity that day, she already knew that she might have no hope in the palace, so she secretly told herself that as long as she could live her life in peace in the future, that would be enough for the rest of her life.
But today, when she heard the news that Xia Dongchun was pregnant and had been promoted, she still couldn't help feeling sad.
Seeing that Concubine Borjigit, who had been ill and had not been in the emperor's bed before, also went to bed with him, Xia Dongchun was pregnant again, and Concubine Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Fucha had always shared the emperor's affections equally, it was unbelievable that An Lingrong said that she did not feel anything at all.
Since she entered the palace, she had seen Concubine Hua's power and Noble Lady Fucha's cold eyes. She thought that day would be the day of her turnaround, but she didn't expect...
"My lady...what's wrong with you?" Baojuan came closer and whispered, "No matter what, you have to eat breakfast. How can your body bear it if you don't eat?"
An Lingrong moved her lips: "I can't eat."
"My lady, are you sad about Concubine Xia's matter?" Baojuan asked tentatively.
An Lingrong retracted her gaze and lowered her head: "Noble Lady Xia... She is already a noble lady now. Noble Lady Xia is pregnant, which is a happy event. How dare I be sad about it?"
"My lady, there is no need to be sad about this." Baojuan advised her, "My lady, there is still a long way to go. The most important thing right now is to take good care of yourself. Only if you can sleep with me again in the future, my lady will have a chance to turn things around."
"In the future?" An Lingrong raised her head, her eyes reddened. She reached out and held Baojuan's hand. "Do I still have a future?"
Baojuan held her hand tightly and said, "Of course it will happen. My lady, you don't have to keep thinking about what happened that day. It's been a long time in the palace, and everyone will forget about it. If you don't take good care of yourself, if the emperor summons you to sleep with him in the future, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"
"Really?" An Lingrong seemed to be asking Baojuan, or talking to herself. She muttered something, and finally her eyes gradually became firm.
