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

"Okay, I'm a little tired too. You all should go back and have some rest." The queen raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, seeming to be really tired.

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

After leaving Changchun Fairy House, Xia Dongchun wanted to walk around outside for a while, but the sun was too strong and it was too hot outside, so she had to go back.

Sitting in the room, with Qi Ling turning the windshield and Yun Ling fanning them, Xia Dongchun finally felt a little cooler.

Noblewoman Borjigit also came back with her, but did not return to her own room. Instead, Xia Dongchun pulled her to her side.

"Sister, do you know what's going on with this Fourth Prince? Why does Concubine Qi have such... that attitude when she mentions this Fourth Prince?" Xia Dongchun just asked casually, not expecting Noblewoman Borjigit to really know.

Unexpectedly, noblewoman Borjigit leaned in and whispered, "I just heard that the birth mother of this Fourth Prince, Li Jingui, was vulgar and ugly. When the Emperor was still a prince, he got drunk and visited Li Jingui. He didn't expect that he would have the Fourth Prince. But because of Li Jingui, the Emperor didn't like the Fourth Prince very much. I only know this much. I don't know any more details."

Xia Dongchun sighed: "So in this palace, there is still a saying that a son's status depends on his mother."

"Who said it wasn't?" Noblewoman Borjigit nodded, "But sister, why didn't we see Noblewoman Wan and Noblewoman Shen when we were in Changchun Xianguan today?"

"I don't know. Could it be that the Queen invited them but they didn't come?" Xia Dongchun muttered, "Maybe they haven't settled down yet, so the Queen was kind enough not to ask them to make this trip again."

Borjigit looked at Xia Dongchun's belly, his eyes full of worry: "Sister, you are nearly six months pregnant now, you must be more careful about everything, no matter what you use or eat, you must let the imperial physician check it carefully."

In fact, Noble Lady Borjigit wanted to remind her to be on guard against Concubine Hua. After all, it was an indisputable fact that Concubine Hua got angry when she heard about the child.

In addition, Lipin had harmed Xia Dongchun before, and behind Lipin was Huafei. Who can guarantee that Huafei had nothing to do with that incident?

"I know that my sister is really doing this for my own good, so don't worry." Xia Dongchun smiled and gently patted Borjigit's hand. "Now, the imperial physician who is checking my pulse and taking care of my pregnancy is an imperial physician who is proficient in women and infants in the Imperial Hospital. If there is anything wrong, he will be able to detect it in time."

Only then did Noble Lady Borjigit feel relieved. It was not that she had to worry all the time, but there were undercurrents in the palace. She said that Xia Dongchun's pregnancy had been ruined twice by Concubine Li, but fortunately both attempts failed.

I really don't know whether to say she is lucky or unlucky.

"Sister, can you ride and shoot?" Xia Dongchun just asked this. In her opinion, Lady Borjigit was a woman from the Durbert grassland, so she must be able to do it.

"I know a little bit." When Borjigit heard her mention horse riding and archery, he couldn't help but think of the things he did at home, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. "But because I was born prematurely, my body was weaker than others since I was a child, so I only learned the basics."

After that, the nobleman Borjigit asked again in confusion: "Why did you think of asking this, sister?"

Xia Dongchun blinked and said, "My father was born in Baoyi family and is now Baoyi Zuoling. I have been learning horse riding and archery from my father since I was a child. I dare not say that I am proficient, but I know a little bit. When my baby is born safely, we will ask for the emperor's grace. How about riding a horse with me and shooting arrows?"

Noblewoman Borjigit did not expect that Xia Dongchun, a rich lady who had lived in the capital since childhood, could learn riding and archery since childhood. She was surprised and happy at the same time. She also missed the feeling of being on horseback a little. If it was really as Xia Dongchun said, she would be very happy.

As they were talking, they heard the eunuch Xiao Yuezi come in and say, "My lady, Concubine Cao is here."

"Noble Lady Cao? I have never had any contact with her, so why is she here today..." Xia Dongchun didn't quite understand. Besides, Noble Lady Cao was Concubine Hua's person, and she didn't want there to be too much contact between the two of them.

"No matter what, guests are here. Besides, Concubine Cao is Princess Wen Yi's biological mother. We can't not give her face. Please come in." Concubine Borjigit reminded.

"Then please invite Concubine Cao in." Xia Dongchun ordered Xiao Yuezi.

Xiao Yuezi responded and went out quickly to ask for help.

Concubine Cao came in soon, and they exchanged greetings. Seeing Concubine Borjigit was also there, the smile on her face deepened: "Both sisters are here, that's just right, I don't need to invite sister Borjigit anymore."

In fact, she had no intention of inviting Noble Borjigit at all. This was not in her plan, but since Noble Borjigit was there, it was not impossible for her to invite him, so that there would be more people to witness it.

"What's wrong, Sister Cao? Is there something wrong?" Xia Dongchun didn't really want to go out. It was not as cool as her room outside. Moreover, she was heavier now, so she was even less willing to move.

So she asked this question to test whether she could refuse.

Concubine Cao was such a smart person, how could she not understand what Xia Dongchun meant? But since she had already made a plan, she would not allow any mistakes to happen, so she said with some embarrassment: "Look at me, Sister Xia is pregnant, I shouldn't have asked you to make this trip, but as your elder sister, I thought that this was also the first time for you sisters to come to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, so I set up a banquet at my place, waiting for you sisters to come and enjoy it."

Now that it was like this, if Xia Dongchun and Borjigit didn't go, wouldn't it be too disrespectful? So he had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, Concubine Cao took them to Tongleyuan to invite Concubine Qi. Xin Changzai happened to be talking to Concubine Qi, so they went back together. Anyway, Concubine Cao had planned to bring Xin Changzai along.

On the way back, they happened to meet Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. They greeted each other and Xin Chang spoke first: "I thought only a few of us came out for a stroll, but I didn't expect that Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen were here too."

Xin Changzai could always talk to anyone, and she was straightforward and had no bad intentions, so everyone was generally willing to talk to her.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, and Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "It's rare that the weather is a little cooler now, son."

Concubine Cao took over the conversation, but she said to Zhen Huan: "It's good that sister Wan is here. I was just about to go look for her."

Although Zhen Huan knew that Concubine Cao had ill intentions, she couldn't let it get to her face: "I wonder if Sister Cao has any advice for me?"

"It was my sister who made a slip of the tongue last time. I heard that it caused a quarrel between the Emperor and my sister. It was really my sister's fault." Concubine Cao had a guilty look on her face, as if she was really sorry for Zhen Huan. "My sister felt very uneasy after she went back, and she kept thinking about apologizing to my sister."
