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

It was not until the end of the day, when Xia Dongchun lay in bed at night, that he finally felt that he had escaped a disaster. Originally, it was Qi Ling's turn to be on duty today, but Yun Ling was worried about Xia Dongchun, and Xia Dongchun also felt that he would feel more at ease with Yun Ling by his side, so he sent Qi Ling back to rest, and Yun Ling continued to accompany Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun was lying on the bed with her eyes open, not feeling sleepy at all. Yun Ling didn't hear any noise and thought she had fallen asleep, so she prepared to sleep too.

Who knew that just as she closed her eyes, she heard Xia Dongchun calling her: "Yunling, are you asleep?"

"No, my lady, do you have any instructions?" Yun Ling immediately became alert, "Or is it that my lady can't sleep?"

Xia Dongchun sat up and opened the bed curtains: "Yunling, come and sleep with me."

Yun Ling came over, but did not agree to her request to sleep with her: "My lady, this is against the rules. How can a servant sleep with you?"

"Now that you have entered the palace, you are the person I trust the most. Moreover, we both died once, and you can still think of me after living again," Xia Dongchun said in a low mood. "To me, you are no different from a relative now. I am afraid that we will have to endure it together in this palace for the next few decades."

Yun Ling was deeply moved after hearing this. She hesitated for a moment, but still sat down beside the bed and held Xia Dongchun's hand. "My lady, I lost my parents when I was young. If it weren't for the fact that Madam took pity on me and bought me back to the palace to live with you, I would have died long ago. My lady, don't worry. I will accompany you in the next few decades in this deep palace."

Xia Dongchun leaned on Yunling's shoulder, her voice choking: "Yunling, I'm actually a little scared... So far we have only avoided 'One Zhang Red', but we have no way of predicting what will happen next. Although, although I am considered smart, I am always afraid that I can't beat them."

When Yun Ling heard her previous words, she was still thinking about how to comfort her. Until she heard her say that she was "quite smart", Yun Ling's expression froze for a moment, but she adjusted her mood and said, "My lady, how could we not know?"

"?" Xia Dongchun was stunned for a moment, tears still glistening in his eyes. He straightened up and met Yun Ling's gaze.

Yun Ling was helpless at her speed of reaction. She wanted to be more tactful, but now it seemed that she couldn't be tactful: "My lady, although you were given a 'ten feet of scarlet' by Concubine Hua in your previous life, I am still alive..."

"Yes." Xia Dongchun's eyes widened, she stared at Yun Ling blankly, "Although I don't know, but you know what will happen next."

Yun Ling nodded heavily: "So Miss, don't worry. Although I don't know everything, I still know what will happen in the future. We just need to avoid it."

After hearing Yunling's words, Xia Dongchun slowly lay down and felt sleepy. Yunling was afraid that she would not sleep well, so she simply did not return to the couch but stayed by her bedside.

The next morning, when Xia Dongchun was sitting in front of the dressing table getting dressed, she heard Qi Ling gossiping, "My lady, I heard that Concubine Shen slept with you last night. This is the first privilege you can get since you entered the palace."

"Really?" In the previous life, Xia Dongchun didn't even have time to see the sun today before she was sent to the cold palace and buried there for the rest of her life. If she had heard this news in the previous life, she would have been angry and felt unfair for herself, asking why she wasn't the first person to sleep with him...

But if she could do it again, she was lucky to be able to save her life. Xia Dongchun didn't want to care about it anymore, so she didn't respond.

Yun Ling glanced at Xia Dongchun and Qi Ling in the bronze mirror, and said with a smile, "They are all newcomers to the palace. There will always be someone who will be the first to be favored and someone who will be the last. Who can say for sure?"

Qi Ling realized that Xia Dongchun didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so she pursed her lips and didn't continue. Instead, she changed the subject and praised Xia Dongchun and Yun Ling: "Sister Yun Ling is worthy of being someone who has always followed the young master. This servant is short-sighted. The young master should not laugh at this servant."

Xia Dongchun curled her lips and said, "How could that be? It's just that everyone has different opinions. Besides, you said that because you were thinking about me. How could I laugh at you?"

Qi Ling was finally relieved: "Young Master is so kind and has a good temper. I am so lucky to be able to serve you."

Yun Ling's mouth twitched when she heard this - her young master has a good temper? Although Yun Ling was loyal, she did not dare to say that Xia Dongchun had a good temper and was kind. After all, she had seen Xia Dongchun's bad temper.

But Yun Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with this. In her opinion, her young mistress had been spoiled since childhood and it was normal for her to be a little spoiled. What's more, her young mistress was very nice to the people around her and had never done anything unforgivable or incurring the wrath of heaven and man.

So in Yun Ling's eyes, her young master was indeed a good person, just a little impatient. Although she could not be said to have a good temper, she was definitely not a bad person.

Xia Dongchun accepted Qi Ling's compliment with a clear conscience. She blinked her eyes and said, "Of course, if you follow me, I will not treat you unfairly."

On the other side, in Jingren Palace, Jianqiu and Huichun were helping the queen with her makeup.

Huichun was combing the queen's hair with a comb in her hand, while Jianqiu said, "Your Majesty, you rejected Concubine Shen from sleeping with you last night, but I see that there are other good candidates besides Concubine Shen."

"Oh?" The queen raised her eyes and met Jianqiu's gaze in the bronze mirror, "You mean..."

"I've seen that Concubine Xia is very respectful to you, Madam. Her father is also a bannerman..." Jianqiu said, "On the day when the new young lady entered the palace, I followed your order to deliver rewards to the young ladies in the palaces. Concubine Xia's words and actions were not as rude as the rumors said. She was not as arrogant as she was on the day of the selection."

The Queen was really interested when she heard this: "According to what you said, this Xia is a useful talent? When she came to the palace, she also knew the rules and restrained her nature?"

"Your Majesty, think about it. Concubine Hua is so arrogant and domineering. If someone with Xia's temperament is promoted by Your Majesty, she may not be able to compete with Concubine Hua," Jian Qiu met her gaze, "even if she can't, I'm afraid Concubine Hua will be angry for a while."

The empress's slender white fingers brushed across the hairpins and jewelry in the dressing box. After a long while, she said, "Hua Fei is a little arrogant, but if the emperor likes it, what can I do?"

After a pause, the Queen smiled and said, "Yesterday when you came to pay your respects, I saw that Concubine Xia is a person who knows the rules and regulations, and I think she can serve the Emperor well."

Jianqiu also smiled: "I understand."
