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

"Why would Sister Cao think so?" Zhen Huan kept smiling, "I just whispered a few words to the emperor, how can I say I'm apologizing?"

"Yes, Concubine Wan is enjoying the emperor's favor, and it's really not a big deal for her to whisper a few words to the emperor." Concubine Xin seemed not to notice the slightly changed expression of Concubine Cao, and as soon as she said this, Concubine Qi's smile faded.

"Yes, unlike the rest of us, even if we want to whisper a few words to the emperor, we have to go in person, right?" Concubine Qi said in a sour tone.

"No matter what, I still feel guilty. I have specially set up a banquet at my place today and invited Concubine Qi, Concubine Xin, Noble Xia and Noble Borjigit to join us. I hope you can give me some face." Noble Cao is a first-class actress. Although everyone knows that she is Concubine Hua's person, and Concubine Hua has always disliked Zhen Huan, she can still act as if she has no grudge against Zhen Huan.

It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Concubine Cao said so, and she also asked so many people to accompany her, even the pregnant Xia Dongchun was among them. If Zhen Huan refused again, it would be too disrespectful. So even though she was on guard, she still agreed.

"It is said that the master's distinguished guests come frequently. I have no special skills, but I heard that Concubine Shen is very good at playing the zither. I wonder if I could ask Concubine Shen to go with us?" Concubine Cao then turned to ask about Shen Meizhuang.

If Zhen Huan wanted to go, Shen Meizhuang must go as well, so she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at Wuling Spring Scene, they all went into Concubine Cao's room. Concubine Cao had indeed prepared a banquet as she said.

Several people sat down, and no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they all looked friendly.

Who was Shen Meizhuang? She retched after only taking a few bites. She quickly covered her lips with a handkerchief and turned away.

"Ouch, what happened?" Concubine Qi was shocked. "Did you eat something unclean?"

She was always outspoken, saying whatever she wanted to say without considering other people's feelings. This was a banquet prepared by Concubine Cao, but she opened her mouth and said that she had eaten something unclean, without giving anyone face at all.

"How many days have you been like this?" Concubine Cao asked, as if she hadn't heard Concubine Qi's words.

"I haven't had any appetite for six or seven days." Shen Meizhuang replied.

Xin Changzai also stood up. She stood aside, thinking for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Could it be... that she is pregnant?"

"Ah?" Everyone present was stunned, but Concubine Cao secretly revealed a satisfied look, and in the blink of an eye, the pride on her face turned into anxious concern: "Little Weizi, go and ask the imperial physician to come over."

"Remember to invite Imperial Physician Liu Bin." Shen Meizhuang instructed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Weizi hurried out and brought the imperial physician back soon.

Everyone present held their breath, waiting for the imperial physician's reply.

Xia Dongchun's emotions were churning. She was the only pregnant woman in the palace, and Yinzhen's concern for her was not like that for others. But now Shen Meizhuang was also pregnant. Moreover, Shen Meizhuang was slightly better than her in terms of favor, and now she was pregnant again...

But she just thought about it in her mind and didn't show it on her face, except that her water chestnut-like nails dug into her palms.

"Congratulations, young lady. Congratulations, young lady. You have been pregnant for more than two months!" The imperial physician's tone was full of joy, as if he was really happy about this matter.

"What?" Shen Meizhuang herself did not expect that she was pregnant. She had been hoping to be pregnant for some time, and she did not expect that her wish would come true.

"Are you serious?" Concubine Cao asked.

The imperial physician nodded: "It is absolutely true. This is a matter concerning the descendants of the dragon, so I dare not speak rashly."

"This is good news." Apart from Zhen Huan, perhaps only Concubine Xin was truly happy for her.

The news spread quickly, and when it was getting dark, Yinzhen, the queen and other concubines came to Wuling to enjoy the spring scenery.

"Your Majesty, I have checked the records of the Jingshifang and everything is correct." The queen looked virtuous and said to Yinzhen with a smile.

Yinzhen was also very happy. Now the baby in Xia Dongchun's belly was already six months old. In nearly four months, the baby would be born. Shen Meizhuang was pregnant again. Having many children was a blessing from heaven for the Qing Dynasty. How could Yinzhen not be happy?

"Okay, okay, please sit down. Are you feeling unwell? Is there anything you want to eat?" Yinzhen held Shen Meizhuang's hand and said with concern.

Xia Dongchun sat aside, feeling sour in her heart. When she was just pregnant, Yinzhen treated her like this, but now she had to watch Yinzhen treat others like this. It was impossible for her to say that she didn't feel a ripple in her heart.

Fortunately, Noble Borjigit noticed Xia Dongchun's emotions, stood beside her, and patted her shoulder gently. Xia Dongchun looked up and met Noble Borjigit's gaze. She saw the concern in her eyes and felt better.

"I'm fine, and there's nothing I want to eat, but the sour plum soup I just tasted was good... For the moment, I want to try some more." Although Shen Meizhuang was happy, she was still gentle in front of Yinzhen. She seemed to never lose her sense of proportion.

"I am also happy that Sister Shen likes it. Apart from anything else, if you want a bowl of sour plum soup, I will provide you with enough." Concubine Cao could hardly suppress the smile on her face. Yinzhen saw this and was very satisfied with Concubine Cao's thoughtfulness and generosity.

"This Concubine Cao is so virtuous." Concubine Qi sighed.

"Someone, bring the plum soup over quickly. The emperor, the empress, and all the sisters can enjoy it together." Concubine Cao smiled and asked someone to bring the plum soup over.

"It would be fine for others, but Concubine Wan doesn't like sour food, so add more sugar to her." When Yinzhen saw Concubine Cao asked someone to bring sour plum soup, he added a sentence.

Zhen Huan and Yin Zhen smiled at each other, as if they were in tune with each other. Zhen Huan bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

For the first time ever, Concubine Hua did not show an unhappy expression, but smiled and said, "Noble Lady Shen is so lucky, the other sisters can't even envy her enough."

Listening to Hua Fei's somewhat sour words, Yinzhen's eyes finally fell on Hua Fei, but he saw that she just said something sour, but she didn't really mean to embarrass him. Yinzhen was willing to comfort her: "Okay, you are the only one who likes to say such sour words. I have been busy with government affairs these two days. When I have two days of free time, I will go to accompany you more."

Only then was Concubine Hua satisfied.
