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

Concubine Cao showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, but she calmed down and continued, "The emperor loves his children deeply, and Wen Yi is quite loved by the emperor."

Concubine Hua didn't say anything, and it seemed that she was weighing the options in her mind.

Concubine Cao raised her eyes and dared not breathe, for fear that Concubine Hua would never believe her again.

Fortunately, Concubine Hua chose to trust her once more in the end: "Stand up, and take a seat."

A little palace maid nearby quickly brought a stool over for Concubine Cao to sit down.

"Lipin is just an embroidered pillow, but she is useless. You are more fortunate." Hua Fei glanced at Cao Guiren, "After all, you have a daughter by your side, which is better than me being alone."

"I am a widow without virtue and ability. Without the protection of Your Majesty, how could I give birth to a princess and raise her by my side? When the princess grows up, she will definitely regard Your Majesty as her biological mother and be filial to you." Concubine Cao hurriedly flattered.

Hua Fei got angry when she mentioned Lipin. "But it's not unfair that Lipin was banished to the cold palace. Last time, she almost caused Xia to fall into the water. This time, she instigated Yu to poison Xia behind my back. It's useless for such a person to stay by my side."

"Your Majesty is right." Concubine Cao's hair, which had just been scattered, fell down and blocked her vision. She raised her hand to tuck her hair.

"Look at you, your hair is all messed up and you are still here talking to me. It's really hard for you." Hua Fei snorted, "Songzhi, help Concubine Cao to do her makeup again, and give Concubine Cao the hairpin with phoenix wearing peony on my dressing table."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Cao stood up to express her gratitude.

Hua Fei asked again, "Has Your Majesty not seen Wen Yi for a while?"

Concubine Cao nodded.

"The emperor is in Jingren Palace now. Take Wen Yi to Jingren Palace to pay his respects to the emperor." Concubine Hua ordered.

"Yes, but I am not good at speaking, and I am afraid that my words will anger the emperor."

"It doesn't matter if you are not good at speaking, as long as Wen Yi can cry and make a fuss." Hua Fei was a decisive person. Thinking of this, she naturally wanted Concubine Cao to obey her orders and do it immediately.

"Yes." Concubine Cao naturally had no choice but to agree.

When Concubine Cao arrived, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were also in Jingren Palace. Yinzhen had not intended to meet Concubine Cao, but when he heard that Wen Yi had also come, he let her in.

When Concubine Cao was holding Wen Yi to pay her respects, the Queen noticed at a glance the rather strange-looking Fengchuan Peony Hairpin that she was wearing on her head. She immediately understood why she came and the smile on her face faded a little.

She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to keep Concubine Hua in the palace and not let her go to the Old Summer Palace, but now it seems that Concubine Hua will definitely be among the entourage.

"Why did you come here carrying the princess in such a hot day? Aren't you afraid that the princess will be exposed to the sun?" Yinzhen said, but having said that, he still stood up, took Wen Yi from Concubine Cao and held her in his arms.

Concubine Cao took off the Fengchuan Peony Hairpin on her head and used it to tease Wen Yi.

Yinzhen's eyes were indeed attracted by this hairpin: "This hairpin... looks familiar, it seems to belong to Concubine Hua."

"Yes, Wen Yi would smile every time she saw this buyao. Empress Hua loved Wen Yi, so she gave this buyao to me." Concubine Cao explained the origin of the buyao.

Yinzhen was very satisfied with what he heard, and immediately said to the queen: "Let's go to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat, and Concubine Hua will go too."

No matter how reluctant and unhappy the queen was, she could only smile and agree: "Yes, I understand."

Two days later, Yinzhen took the concubines in the palace to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. Hua Fei got her wish and was also among the entourage.

But not all concubines could accompany him. For example, An Lingrong was left in the palace.

Xia Dongchun and nobleman Borjigit were among the entourage, which made Xia Dongchun very happy.

When they arrived at the Old Summer Palace, all the concubines were taken to their respective residences. Xia Dongchun and Noble Lady Borjigit were arranged to stay in the Xinghuachun Pavilion. According to the eunuch Liu who was in charge, Yinzhen knew that the two of them had a good relationship, so he specially asked people to arrange them together.

The one who led the way was Xiao Junzi, the apprentice of the eunuch in charge. Xiao Junzi bent over and followed beside them. He entered the east room and introduced, "My two young ladies, this is the residence of Concubine Xia. There is a wind wheel in the room. When it rotates, there will be a gentle cool breeze, which is very comfortable. Apart from Concubine Wan's residence, only yours has this. This favor is first-class."

Xia Dongchun couldn't help but smile: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will go to the Emperor to thank him in person later."

"We were going to put some flowers here, so that when the wind wheel turns, there will be not only wind but also fragrance." Xiao Junzi added, "But because you are pregnant, you need to be extra careful about these things, so we didn't put any flowers in, and only prepared the wind wheel. The emperor also instructed that as soon as you feel hot, you should immediately get ice from the ice cellar."

"I understand." Xia Dongchun said with a smile on her face, and gave a look to Qi Ling beside her. Qi Ling took out a purse and stuffed it into Xiao Junzi's hand.

Xiao Junzi took it, weighed it without leaving any trace, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "Thank you, my lord. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Xia Dongchun nodded, and Xiao Junzi retreated. Coincidentally, the young eunuch who was leading the way for noble Borjigit in the west also came out, and they left together.

Noble Lady Fucha had originally wanted to live with Xia Dongchun and the others, but she was arranged to live in Wuling Chunse, which was also a good place. In addition, Yinzhen had already arranged Noble Lady Borjigit and Xia Dongchun together, so she could not go and ask to change places.

Not to mention whether Yinzhen has time to see her now, she herself doesn't want Yinzhen to think that she is a nosy person because of such a small matter.

Besides, Yinzhen knew about the conflicts she had with Xia Dongchun before, so even if she told him about it, Yinzhen would probably not agree.

As usual, Yinzhen was in the Qinzheng Palace, the Empress lived alone in the Changchun Fairy Pavilion, Concubine Hua was in the Qingliang Palace, Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin were also in the Wuling Spring Se, Zhen Huan was in the Bitong Academy, Concubine Jing was in the Quyuan Fenghe, Shen Meiyu was with Concubine Jing, but in the Xianyue Pavilion in the Quyuan Fenghe, and Concubine Duan lived in the more secluded Danbo Ningjing.

After everyone had settled down, the Queen called them over to talk. In the Changchun Fairy Pavilion, the concubines took their seats one by one. The round fans in their hands matched their clothes very well, showing that they were carefully selected and matched.

The Queen sat at the top, wearing a brocade dress with gold-threaded bamboo leaves embroidered on it, which made her look dignified and solemn: "In half a month, it will be Princess Wen Yi's birthday. There are not many children in the palace, so a one-year-old birthday should be celebrated properly. The Emperor meant that even though we are not in the palace, we cannot keep it simple, and we must make it lively."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Concubine Cao's face became more obvious. She only had this one daughter, so naturally she wanted to give her everything she could. Hearing that Yinzhen valued and loved this child so much, she was naturally happy for her daughter.
