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

More than an hour passed and the baby had not been born yet, so the midwife was called out to get a response.

The Queen looked at the maid and asked, "How is Concubine Zhao doing? Is the child okay?"

The maid knelt down and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Empress. Although the young lady was hit and the child was born prematurely, it is a bit difficult at the moment, but we will do our best to protect the young lady and the child."

The queen glanced at Yinzhen, and then said to the nanny, "If you can ensure the safe birth of the child, the emperor and I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The maid kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. It is our duty to protect the young lady and the child. We dare not ask for more rewards."

Yinzhen waved his hand, signaling her to go in and help. The nanny got up from the ground and hurried in again.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial kitchen to bring some soup and snacks? You've been waiting here for so long, you have to take care of your health..." Hua Fei couldn't help but say, she was very upset, what was the point of waiting here? She was almost fainted from standing, but because the matter of Qi Fei biting the slave to death was related to her, now without Yinzhen's order, everyone except the queen had to stand.

Yinzhen didn't say anything.

At this moment, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the inner room, and everyone became alert.

The nanny came out quickly, her face full of joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little princess!"

The expression on Yinzhen's face finally relaxed a lot. He stood up and smiled: "Reward! There will be huge rewards!"

After a pause, Yinzhen asked again: "Where is Zhao'er? How is she?"

The nanny replied, "Your Majesty, the young lady was too tired and fell asleep. Although the little princess was born safely, she was born prematurely, so I'm afraid she will be weak and needs to be taken good care of."

Yinzhen shook the beads in his hand twice: "I understand."

The nanny then got up and went back to work.

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief. Never mind. Since the baby has been born, it’s better to be a princess.

Now that the child's matter has been dealt with, then... The Queen's eyes flashed. She couldn't let Hua Fei get away so easily, otherwise what would be the point of this plan? If the child wasn't killed, could Hua Fei also get away?

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Zhao and the princess are both safe and sound, then...isn't it time to resolve the issues that were not resolved just now?" The Queen looked at Yinzhen.

Following the Queen's words, Yinzhen's gaze fell on Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was shocked, and then filled with anger. The old woman, the Queen, actually wanted to deliberately bring disaster to her!

Yinzhen weighed the pros and cons for a moment. Now was not a good time to punish Concubine Hua severely, as Nian Gengyao was still serving the previous dynasty... But if he did nothing, that would not only wrong Xia Dongchun, but also undermine the emperor's dignity.

After thinking about it, Yinzhen turned around and said seriously, "This matter involves Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi. Although Concubine Zhao has given birth safely, the person who made the mistake must be punished. If he does not punish her, it will not be enough to correct the palace rules."

"Your Majesty!" How could Concubine Hua agree?

But when Yinzhen gave her a look, she became quiet.

"This matter was caused by Concubine Hua. Although it was an unintentional mistake, it ultimately caused Noble Zhao and the princess to suffer. I originally wanted to restore your power to assist in managing the six palaces, but it is not necessary now. You should stay in Qingliang Palace for half a month to reflect on your mistakes and hand-copy scriptures to pray for the princess." Yinzhen made the decision in a cold voice.

Everyone had different looks. The Queen's heart sank. This punishment was hardly a punishment. After all, it was just a half-month confinement. She almost killed the heir to the throne, but she only had to be confined for half a month? What a joke! It was said that the power to assist in the management of the six palaces would be temporarily suspended, but in the Queen's opinion, Yinzhen had no intention of restoring Hua Fei's power to assist in the management of the six palaces now!

But Concubine Hua didn't think so. She was anxious and angry, but because of Yinzhen's presence, she couldn't get angry directly.

Yinzhen turned his attention to Concubine Qi at this time: "Although Concubine Qi knocked over Noble Lady Zhao because she was frightened, the princess gave birth prematurely because of you. I cannot help but punish you. You will be confined to Tongleyuan and copy scriptures to pray for the princess."

Concubine Qi felt like the sky was falling. How could she not hear the difference in Yinzhen's words? Yinzhen just said that Concubine Hua should reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors for half a month, but when it came to her, she was directly confined to her house. Most importantly, he didn't say how long she would be confined! Doesn't that mean... as long as the emperor didn't summon her, she would be confined to her house forever? !

Concubine Qi believed that she was old and ugly, and Yinzhen seldom visited her. So, it was unknown when Yinzhen would remember her. If he couldn't remember her and no one reminded him, wouldn't she be confined to her house for the rest of her life?

If Concubine Qi could understand it, how could others not understand it? Suddenly, everyone had a better idea of ​​the importance of Concubine Hua in Yinzhen's heart.

The queen sighed inwardly, thinking that Concubine Qi was really useless.

At this time, Yinzhen said again: "By the way, since the princess was born prematurely and is weak, and Concubine Zhao has suffered innocently, she should raise the child herself, and there is no need to send her to the prince's residence."

This is indeed a favor, otherwise with Xia Dongchun's current status, she would not be able to raise the child by her side.

After all, he was not a prince. For the queen, it made no difference whether he was raised by his biological mother or by the prince's residence. It was a good opportunity to show her virtue in front of Yinzhen. The queen smiled and said, "Let's do as the emperor said. The princess was born prematurely and is weak, so she can't leave her biological mother."

When Xia Dongchun woke up, she was already in the Xinghuachun Pavilion. As soon as she opened her eyes, Yun Ling noticed: "My lady, you are awake!"

"Where is the child?" Xia Dongchun's voice was still hoarse.

Yun Ling asked Qi Ling to bring some water while answering, "Don't worry, my lady. The wet nurse has taken the princess away to feed her. Qi Ling, quickly bring some water so that my lady can drink some."

"Hey, I'll be right there." Qi Ling responded.

"My dear, the emperor has graciously allowed the princess not to be taken to the prince's residence, but to be raised by your side. He also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give you all the benefits of a concubine in the future." Yun Ling only said these happily. For the time being, she didn't want Xia Dongchun to know how Yinzhen dealt with Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi.

"Has the princess been named?" Xia Dongchun was relieved to hear that the child was safe.

"Yes, the emperor named her Lingyuan as soon as he saw the princess." Yun Ling said with a smile. She was happy just thinking about how both Xia Dongchun and the child were safe.

Qi Ling brought the water, and Yun Ling quickly helped Xia Dongchun sit up. After Xia Dongchun drank a mouthful of water, he felt that his throat was not so uncomfortable, so he said, "Go and ask the nurse to bring the princess to me for a look."

She still had to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

After hearing this, Qi Ling took the initiative to say, "Sister Yunling, go ahead. I'm here, young master."

Xia Dongchun originally wanted to ask Qi Ling to go, but since Qi Ling said so, anyone could go, so she nodded.

Yunling then switched places with Qiling and went out to call the wet nurse.
