"Mother!" Xia Dongchun hurried to meet her.

Yun Ling quickly stopped her: "My lady, please be careful. You are pregnant."

He also took two steps forward, but she was also concerned about following the rules, so she didn't walk too fast. She just bowed first and said, "Your Highness, your humble servant He greets you."

"Mother, please get up." Xia Dongchun felt a lump in her throat. Yun Ling helped her forward, and she bent down to help He up.

After He stood up, Yun Ling reminded her, "It's getting hot outside, so the young lady and the mistress should go in and talk."

Xia Dongchun and He then entered the house together.

After entering, Xia Dongchun dismissed everyone else and left only Yunling and Zhilan, the maid brought by He.

"Chun'er..." Without anyone around, He dared to call her, "Are you feeling better now? Your father and I suddenly heard your baby moving at home, and we were very worried. Your father didn't sleep all night last night, and he was just waiting for me to come and see you today so that I could go back and let him feel at ease."

Xia Dongchun's eyes were red, and she reached out to hold He's hand: "Mother... Fortunately, the emperor also ordered to ban Noble Lady Fucha's feet, and also gave his daughter a title, which was drafted by the emperor himself."

Seeing her like this, He couldn't help but choke up with sobs: "Your father and I don't ask you to be successful in the harem, we just hope that you can be safe and smooth. If the emperor treats you well, your father and I can rest assured."

Xia Dongchun nodded and said, "Since my daughter entered the palace, she has been very careful, if not cautious. However, since she became pregnant, there have always been bad people trying to frame her. Fortunately, Sister Borjigit treats her sincerely and can help her a little."

"That's good." He sighed, looking at Xia Dongchun's still pale face, she couldn't help crying again, "You are in the palace, and your mother can't do anything for you. Your father has been worried all day since he knew you were in trouble. Today, your mother came to see you, and he will feel more at ease when he goes back."

"Madam and young lady, stop saying these unhappy things. It's not easy for you to meet each other, you should say something happy." Yun Ling reminded again. This meeting was a favor from the emperor, thinking that Xia Dongchun had been wronged. Although outsiders had been sent away, it's better to be safe than sorry. If these words get out, the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it seriously. What if the emperor misunderstands that young lady and madam are dissatisfied?

"From now on, my lady is Concubine Zhao." Yun Ling said with a smile.

He quickly understood what Yun Ling meant. She wiped her tears, calmed down, and said, "Yes, Zhao... a bright and beautiful appearance is called Zhao, and a worry-free future is called Zhao. It shows that the emperor treats you very well."

"Yes." Regardless of the truth, Xia Dongchun didn't want her parents to worry about her anymore. She smiled with tears in her eyes, "Among the people who entered the palace with my daughter, except for Concubine Wan, my daughter is the only one who has a title."

Yinzhen was originally going to give Shen Meizhuang a title, but because of Xia Dongchun's incident, Yinzhen decided to wait for a while before deciding on Shen Meizhuang's title, so that Xia Dongchun would be happy.

Xiao Yuezi came in at this time: "My lady, my lady, it's time to go."

Xia Dongchun looked up: "It's only been a short time, how come it's so fast?"

Although He was reluctant, she still pulled her hand away and stood up: "My lady, the rules cannot be broken. If you stay for too long, it will only give people something to hold against you."

"The emperor has specially granted you a favor today. Mother can stay a little longer." Xia Dongchun was anxious. She stood up and tried to pull He Shi away. "Stay a little longer. The emperor won't blame his daughter."

He shook her head and said, "My lady, even if the emperor doesn't blame me, I can't let anyone talk about you because of this matter."

After she finished speaking, she saw Xia Dongchun's eyes moist and tears welled up in her eyes. He couldn't bear it anymore and took her hand and patted it gently: "My lady, don't worry. When your baby is eight months old, I can come again."

Yun Ling's eyes were red, but she still gritted her teeth and pulled Xia Dongchun's hands, almost prying them apart one by one: "My lady, Madam is coming again."

Xia Dongchun bit her lip and looked at He.

He avoided her gaze and said, "I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he took Zhilan and followed Xiao Yuezi out.

Xia Dongchun stood there in a daze, watching He leave.

Yun Ling also felt bad. The Madam had been kind to her and had never treated her harshly when they were in the mansion, and she was also grateful for that.

Yun Ling helped Xia Dongchun sit down. Seeing that she was still in a trance, she said, "My lady, you will be able to see Madam again in more than a month. You don't have to be sad."

Xia Dongchun leaned against Yun Ling. She was rarely so quiet.

……

In Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua heard Zhou Ninghai say that Xia Dongchun's mother had come, and her brows furrowed: "Xia Dongchun? Just her?"

Zhou Ninghai bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, but you don't have to worry. The Emperor was just concerned that Concubine Zhao was pregnant and had been having uneasy fetal movements for the past two days, so he showed mercy and allowed her to see him. Concubine Zhao's mother only sat for a while and then left."

"Huh, Concubine Zhao?" Concubine Hua curled her lips. "The Emperor really thinks highly of her. She is just pregnant, but she acts as if she has a gold nugget in her belly."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, she is just a noble lady. Now that she is pregnant, what's wrong with you letting her be proud for a few days?" Noble Lady Cao advised softly.

Hua Fei snatched the fan from Lingzhi's hand and fanned herself quickly: "When others are pregnant, they are promoted and given titles. You have already given birth to a child, so why can't you catch up with them?"

Cao Guiren knew that Concubine Hua was taking her out on her again, but what could she do? She could only lower her head and listen.

"But speaking of it, if we can get rid of Shen Meizhuang first, it will also allow me to relax." Hua Fei raised her eyebrows and chuckled, slightly raising her chin, "Are you ready?"

Concubine Cao nodded and lowered her eyebrows: "Don't worry, your majesty, I can guarantee that it will be foolproof."

Only then did Concubine Hua feel slightly satisfied and did not mention Xia Dongchun's matter again for the time being.

As Princess Wen Yi's first birthday celebration approached, Xia Dongchun became heavier and heavier. Yun Ling supported her but became more and more nervous, fearing that she would get bumped or bruised.

To prevent any accidents, Yinzhen discussed with the Queen and decided that Xia Dongchun did not need to attend.

Xia Dongchun was also happy and comfortable. It was better not to go. She felt comfortable in her own place.

On the day of the one-year-old birthday ceremony, everyone went to Jiuzhou Qingyan to celebrate the princess' birthday. Xia Dongchun stayed in the Xinghuachun Pavilion, half leaning on the couch. Qi Ling fanned her, and there was ice in the room. Yun Ling read a storybook to her. She felt very comfortable.

Xia Dongchun increasingly felt that it was a good thing that she didn't have to attend this time.
