Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

Chapter 13: Legend of Zhen Huan: Xia Dongchun. 12

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Xia Dongchun drank a bowl of hot soup and finally felt like he was really alive. He excitedly asked someone to find a vase and put plum blossoms in it himself, which would look beautiful when placed in the palace.

Yinzhen did not stay in the harem tonight. He sent Xia Dongchun back to Chengqian Palace and left.

Looking at the people in the yard who were eating and drinking to their heart's content, Xia Dongchun suddenly felt a little hungry. Chunhong smiled profoundly, and with a little pride, she went out and handed over a bowl of dumplings.

"My lady, you must be hungry. I heard that you can't eat many of the things in the palace banquet, so I asked the imperial kitchen to make some dumplings. I just heated them up, my lady, please eat them to fill your stomach."

Xia Dongchun didn't expect that the other party had made dumplings for him. He quickly took them and ate a few, praising Chunhong for becoming smart.

Chunhong looked at Chunlan with a little complacency after receiving the compliment. The steady and mature Chunlan shook her head helplessly, feeling that the burden on her shoulders had become heavier. Of course, there were two children in Chengqian Palace.

But having said that, after Xia Dongchun finished his meal, he read a book for a while and then washed up and rested.

It was Chunhong's night watch tonight. She covered Xia Dongchun with a blanket, sat on the blanket on the floor and said with a smile, "My lady, you've been tired all day. You should rest early."

Xia Dongchun smiled and nodded, then after lying on the bed for a while, he said dazedly, "Chunhong, if you feel cold, remember to get a hot water bottle."

Although there was a heating system here, Xia Dongchun was still afraid that the other party would sleep directly on the ground and inevitably feel cold.

Chunhong looked at her master with a soft expression. Although their young master was sometimes a little willful, she had to follow more rules since entering the palace, and even she couldn't help but feel distressed.

If she had known that there were so many evil spirits in the palace, she would have considered every word carefully. Otherwise, she would never have thought of selecting the young lady. She also didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse for the young lady to enter the Forbidden City...

After being constantly admonished by Chunlan these days, Chunhong has finally learned to think twice before acting. She is now extremely careful with what she says. Even if she is angry, she keeps it to herself and tells Chunlan when she is free.

So Chunhong has made visible progress during this period. They have all seen it and feel extremely gratified.

It's New Year's Day now, and the Queen has ordered that people should go to pay their respects to her on the eighth day of the first lunar month. There's no need to go through that time. In this cold winter, it's inevitable that one might be careless on the road and fall.

Of course Xia Dongchun felt very good about the news. She had been pregnant for a month already and she could tell a little from feeling the pulse. However, it was not the right time to reveal it, so Xia Dongchun kept it a secret.

Therefore, Xia Dongchun didn't even tell the people around her. She still had some period in the first few months, so the people around her just thought it was a physical problem besides being surprised that her period came less often, and didn't think much about it.

"The plum blossoms outside are blooming beautifully. Chunlan, please help me open the window and have a look." Chunlan held Xia Dongchun's hand as she was about to open the window, and couldn't help but say with some disapproval, "My dear, you sneezed yesterday because you were playing in the snow. You can't get cold again now, or you will definitely catch a cold."

It was difficult for Chunlan. Yesterday, she couldn't stand Xia Dongchun's nagging any more and agreed to let her go out and play. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door to get the hot water bottle, Xia Dongchun had already gone into the snow to make trouble.

Now that little ugly thing is placed under the porch, it is actually a little snowman.

Xia Dongchun grumbled impatiently, "Ah...it would be great if the window paper was turned into glass, so that I could see even if I don't go out."

The glass nowadays is that kind of colored glaze, which has low visibility and is also very expensive. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he asked for colored glaze to decorate the windows. I am afraid that even the empress dowager would think that she is seducing the emperor.

Xia Dongchun sighed helplessly. As for the glass? How could she pass the message on? It was a serious crime for a concubine to pass on messages privately. In addition, she didn't know the original body's family, so she was afraid that the other party wouldn't understand even the secret code.

"What happened? I could hear you sighing outside the door."

Yinzhen walked in quietly, wanting to see what she was doing, but he didn't expect to hear the beautiful woman sighing in sorrow, with a look of sadness like Xi Shi holding her heart.

Xia Dongchun's eyes lit up. She was very surprised to see Yinzhen coming. After all, except for sending her back on the night of the palace banquet, he had never entered Chengqian Palace for such a long time.

"Your Majesty, please look at Chunlan. I can't even open the window to look at the flowers. If this goes on for too long, I'm afraid the flowers will creep up on me."

Although Xia Dongchun looked angry, her tone was full of teasing. Yinzhen snorted and praised: "Not bad, you have done a good job as a servant, and I should take good care of you."

Xia Dongchun pouted unhappily, but Yinzhen pinched her face and pulled her to sit down.

"Hmm? You've changed to looking at chess manuals now? How's your research going?"

She was still looking at the music score the day before, and she changed to another one today. Yinzhen couldn't help feeling it was a pity that such a stunning beauty was not a studious and smart person.

Xia Dongchun raised her eyebrows and told Chunlan to take out the chessboard. "Your Majesty, please don't look down on me. I just didn't like it before, but it doesn't mean I don't understand it at all. Just wait and see. If I win today, what will Your Majesty promise me?"

Yinzhen sat there calmly watching Xia Dongchun busying around, his whole body as steady as a rock.

"You little girl, you dare to make such a boast before you have even seen my chess skills. What if you lose?" Yinzhen didn't think he would lose at all at this moment, but Xia Dongchun was very confident, "If I lose, I will play a song for you. If the emperor loses..."

Yinzhen looked into the other person's eyes. Just when he thought Xia Dongchun would ask for something for him or his family, Xia Dongchun pulled him aside and said, "If Your Majesty loses, let me see your piano skills."

Someone like Yinzhen should know this, after all, he could talk about so many things with Chunyuan. Chunyuan was a talented woman, so Yinzhen must be a talented man as well.

Yinzhen didn't expect this result and couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.

"Well, I'll do as you say. Don't regret it."

Xia Dongchun raised his eyebrows: "Of course, there is no regret in making a move."

The two men started playing chess in front of the window. At first, Yinzhen thought he could handle it by himself, but after a few moves, he realized that the other party had a solid foundation.

For a moment, Yinzhen still looked up to Xia Dongchun. After all, as Su Peisheng had found out before, Xia Dongchun could be said to be a real straw bag beauty. Baoyi Zuoling Xia Wei was a military general. He only had Xia Dongchun as his daughter, so naturally he spoiled her to the point of not knowing the limit of the world.

After all, Xia Dongchun's reputation outside was not very good because of her domineering nature, and her reputation as a willful person had already spread even within the boudoir.

Yinzhen had not thought of today's move. It seems that the information conveyed by the other party was wrong.
