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

Changchun Palace

Yinzhen hadn't visited Concubine Qi for more than half a year. Concubine Qi couldn't help but be happy. She stood there, feeling quite at a loss.

Yinzhen sat cross-legged on the couch, flipping through a book, and glanced at Concubine Qi: "Please sit down."

Concubine Qi was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not tired, Your Majesty will just stand and serve Him."

"Tsk." Yinzhen frowned, "You are blocking my light."

"Ah..." Concubine Qi let out a low sound of surprise, feeling a little embarrassed, and moved a few steps to the side, "Blocking... blocking the Emperor's light."

Yinzhen looked up at her and said helplessly, "You are also an old person by my side. You should know the limits when doing things."

"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with my poor service?" Concubine Qi blinked, not understanding the meaning of Yinzhen's words.

Yinzhen was getting a little impatient. He closed the book and said, "I don't think you are not serving me well. I just want to remind you a few words."

Concubine Qi nodded blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a long while, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has grown taller again."

Yinzhen was about to open the book when he paused, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly: "You're already an adult, and you're still growing taller?"

"Ah, he's stronger, that's right." Concubine Qi seemed to realize that what she said was wrong, and quickly made amends, "Third prince has been studying late into the night recently, and I often tell him, 'Hongshi, you are your father's eldest son, so you must work hard. In the future, the burden of sharing your father's worries will fall on you.'"

Yinzhen lost interest in reading and put the book aside. His patience ran out. "Hongshi must have heard all these words of yours, so his ears must be calloused. Don't you have anything else to say to your son?"

"Ah... yes, yes, I am your concubine..." Concubine Qi's mind was working fast, thinking about what to say next.

But Yinzhen did not give her this chance. He got down from the couch and was about to walk out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are you going?" Concubine Qi was panicked. After half a year, the Emperor finally called her name card once, but now he was leaving after sitting for a while. How could she accept this calmly?

Hearing her voice, Yinzhen paused as he was walking out, turned around and stared at the clothes on her: "Don't wear this dress anymore."

"But doesn't the emperor like me to wear pink the most?" Concubine Qi had not yet realized the impatience in Yinzhen's words and her face was full of confusion.

Yinzhen cleared his throat, no longer controlling himself, and said impatiently: "Pink and tender, how old are you now?"

Concubine Qi uttered a soft "ah": "Your Majesty, do you think I'm too old?"

"It's not that I dislike you for being old, I'm just telling you the truth." Yinzhen knew that Concubine Qi was stupid and that if he spoke in a tactful way, she probably wouldn't understand him, so he might as well make it clear, "You look much more suitable in emerald green and lake blue now."

After saying this, Yinzhen left without looking back.

Concubine Qi was stunned for a long time, and she kept muttering, "But the emperor used to like me wearing pink the most."

Cui Guo, the maid beside her, looked at her with pity and said softly, "My lady, it's late at night, you should go to sleep first."

When Yinzhen came out of Changchun Palace, Su Peisheng asked, "Your Majesty, where shall we go next?"

“……” Yinzhen didn’t say anything.

Su Peisheng understood and shouted, "Get ready for the Suiyuxuan!"

The news that Yinzhen left Changchun Palace and abducted Suiyuxuan soon reached Xia Dongchun's ears.

Xia Dongchun had been paying attention to this matter, so when he heard the news, he was not that surprised. He just sighed, "Beauty has aged in the blink of an eye, and the favor has ended before she ages. Concubine Qi is not too old, and she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, the Third Prince. But now the emperor's favor is just like flowing water, and it is gone in a hurry."

"My lady, why would you say such sad words?" Qi Ling smiled, "This is not like a normal lady. Moreover, although you are in great favor now, you are still ranked among the concubines in this palace. Why are you so sad?"

"How do I know there won't be such a day in the future?" Xia Dongchun bent her legs and sat on the bed, leaning on her knees. "Who can tell clearly what's going on in the palace? Who can tell clearly? Even a favored woman like Shen Meizhuang is now trapped in the Yikun Palace and being tortured, and the emperor doesn't even think of her."

"But I'm afraid there will still be a lot of excitement in the palace today." Xia Dongchun sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I don't finish watching these plays."

"How many plays? What plays?" Qi Ling asked, tilting her head. "Isn't it that the Emperor just left Concubine Qi's place and went to Concubine Wan's place right after?"

"Just wait and see, how could this night end like this?" Xia Dongchun curled his lips, "I can't sleep anyway."

"Well, anyway, the Queen has been exempted from paying respects tomorrow." Qi Ling nodded, "I heard that the Queen is feeling a little unwell tonight, so the concubines don't need to pay respects to her."

What happened afterwards was exactly as Xia Dongchun had expected, or perhaps just as Yun Ling had expected.

Shen Meizhuang fell into the water, and Yinzhen took Zhen Huan and hurriedly rushed from Suiyuxuan to Xianfu Palace. Not long after, Concubine Hua also went there with her people.

The last news Xia Dongchun received was that Concubine Hua had invited the Emperor to the Yikun Palace.

Xia Dongchun had a feeling that it was just as she expected, but she was more concerned about another thing: "Qi Ling Yun Ling, has An Lingrong gone to see Shen Meizhuang?"

Qi Ling Yun Ling shook her head: "I haven't heard about it. An agreed to go to bed early today and told others that he was not feeling well."

"That's a good excuse." Xia Dongchun sneered, "Her body is like she's been soaked in medicine all day long. She's sick from time to time, and when something critical happens, she falls ill."

Although Xia Dongchun didn't say anything more, the meaning of his words was very clear.

Yunling and Qiling looked at each other and said nothing.

"Forget it, let her be." Xia Dongchun curled her lips, "After all, we are not her sisters. If she does this, she will eventually break up with Zhen Huan and the others."

Yun Ling nodded, but then changed the subject: "Okay, my lady, we have finished watching the show tonight, so it's time to go to bed, right?"

"Yes, yes. Although you don't have to pay respects to the Queen Mother early in the morning, you should go to bed early. It's late at night." Qi Ling also followed Yun Ling's words and persuaded.

Xia Dongchun was helpless as the two of them urged her to keep going, but as they said, she had finished watching the show and it was time for her to take a rest.

I'm afraid there will be more good shows to watch tomorrow.

She has to stay alert, otherwise she won't be able to watch tomorrow's show.
