Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

"The emperor is very busy, and An promised that she would not be noticed since she entered the palace. The emperor has so many concubines, it is normal for him to forget about them for a while."

Xia Dongchun no longer took these things seriously. She stretched out her hand to look at the small hat in Concubine Jing's hand and couldn't help saying, "This is really nice, but it's a pity that I, as a mother, am not good at these things. This child will not be lucky enough to wear what I made myself."

"You, how can there be a mother as lazy as you?" Now that Concubine Jing has become familiar with Xia Dongchun, she knows that she is a person who does not care about anything. Even if she says one or two wrong things, she will not take it to heart, so Concubine Jing is happy to talk to her.

"I have a sister."

Now Concubine Jing comes almost every day, fearing that something might happen to Xia Dongchun when she is not paying attention. Now that the Queen and Concubine Hua are not around, she is in charge of all the trivial matters in the palace. Fortunately, nothing serious happens, so she just needs to check on it every few days.

The two of them lived a peaceful life in the Forbidden City. Not long after, they heard that the emperor had sent someone to pick up An Dan and Xia Dongchun knew that the matter of Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy had been exposed.

However, Xia Dongchun didn't care about these things. When the child was eight months old, Xia Dongchun had already asked someone to bring the midwife and the wet nurse to look after him.

They did not relax their vigilance just because some of them were sent in by the Xia family. They asked Zhang De and Yue Yan to take people to watch them one by one, and if anyone looked out of place, they would be kicked out immediately.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Xia Dongchun and Concubine Jing had a meal in Chengqian Palace. The palace servants were waiting outside. Xia Dongchun suggested preparing a table of delicious food for them and asked them to go downstairs to enjoy it.

"Over the years, I have felt lonely every time I am alone. Now that I have a sister to talk and laugh with, I don't feel that way anymore."

Concubine Jing spoke the truth. She was not a calm person to begin with, but she was forced into this state after living in the backyard for so many years, being neither favored nor having any children. So now that she was on good terms with Xia Dongchun, she was indeed happy.

"Isn't the purpose of life to be happy? Sister, there will be many happy days in the future."

……

Xia Dongchun has been pregnant for more than nine months, and Chengqian Palace is managed like an iron barrel by Xiao Laizi and a few others. Even the Queen and the people in the palace cannot touch anything in Chengqian Palace.

Not to mention wanting to poison Xia Dongchun.

But everyone in the Old Summer Palace was very cautious, fearing that the emperor would get angry and take his anger out on them.

Concubine Shen became Lady Shen, and Concubine Wan also lost the emperor's favor.

It was several days later when these things reached the palace. Xia Dongchun knew the reason, so she was not surprised. However, several people in her palace were very curious about this matter.

However, even if they wanted to know, there was nothing they could do. After all, this was just an order from the emperor, and they didn't know about other things.

But Concubine Jing was different! Although she had not gone to the Old Summer Palace, she had at least been with the emperor since the time he was in the palace, and there were also several people guarding outside.

So Concubine Jing ran to Chengqian Palace the next day and explained everything to Xia Dongchun.

"I didn't expect that Concubine Shen would have such thoughts. She seemed quite honest when she was in my palace. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. If something like this happened in my palace, I'm afraid the emperor would punish me."

When Concubine Jing heard the news, her first reaction was that it was a good thing that such a thing did not happen in Xianfu Palace. As she was the queen, if something happened to Concubine Shen, she would also be to blame. The crime of not governing her subordinates properly would probably fall on her.

Worse still, the emperor might even suspect that she was helping Concubine Shen to win favor, and think that she had evil ambitions.

But heaven and earth know clearly that she really wants a child, but she doesn't want a child that will bring her trouble!

"Noble Lady Shen is just too impatient. She has been in the palace for a year and still hasn't been happy. She must be too impatient." Xia Dongchun smiled and looked at Concubine Jing meaningfully and said, "This impatience makes it easy for others to trick her."

Concubine Jing lowered her head and thought, it was true, the emperor would not tolerate her faking pregnancy to win favor. Now he has only demoted her and confined her to house arrest, which must be full of doubts.

Even if the emperor cares about the power of the Shen family, for a matter like this, it would not be excessive to send Shen Meizhuang to the cold palace. Of course, if she was wrongly accused, that would be another matter.

"Whether it's intentional vying for favor or being framed, this matter has nothing to do with us." After saying a few words, Concubine Jing showed concern for Xia Dongchun's health.

"You are about to give birth, how are you? You must be careful these few days. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women. But don't worry, the imperial physician also said that you are in good health and will give birth safely."

Xia Dongchun accepted her kindness and knew that nothing would happen to her, but Concubine Jing didn't know that, so seeing her worried, Xia Dongchun felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, sister. But if I give birth, I'll have to trouble you to stay in the palace. This is my first time giving birth, so I don't understand many things."

Xia Dongchun looked at Concubine Jing, her eyes full of earnestness, "Of course, why wouldn't I agree to your request?"

Concubine Jing knew that this was Xia Dongchun trying to get close to her. After all, she had seen all the other party's methods during this period. The servants in Chengqian Palace were all very smart and capable, which showed that her master knew how to train them.

Xianfu Palace...after all, she had not thought about managing it properly over the years, and she had no favors, so the servants under her either had nowhere to go or were unwilling to make progress.

Although he was on duty obediently, he could not compare with those in Chengqian Palace.

On August 25th, Xia Dongchun and Concubine Jing visited the small garden of Chengqian Palace. Just as she sat on a chair in the yard, her stomach began to hurt. She covered her stomach and asked someone to help her into the delivery room that had been prepared long ago.

"Sister... please keep an eye on me!"

Xia Dongchun gave them a few instructions and went in. Concubine Jing quickly directed them to boil water, prepare medicine, and invite the imperial physician. She told Chunlan and the others to check the midwives one by one before letting them in.

Several maids who had been kept in Chengqian Palace had been observed repeatedly for a long time. Now even the gaps between their fingernails were checked before they were allowed in.

Xia Dongchun was also supported by Yue Yan to walk around inside. This would also make it easier to give birth to the baby.

When it was almost time, she asked someone to help her onto the bed. "Chunlan, watch carefully. If anyone moves, pull them out immediately."

Concubine Jing sat outside with a cup of strong tea in her hand. Normally, it takes a long time for women to give birth, especially for the first child.

So she was prepared to wait until night, but she didn't expect that less than two hours after Xia Dongchun went in, the child started crying.

Concubine Jing thought she was hallucinating, so she pulled Baozhu aside and said, "Baozhu, did I hear it wrong?"

"Your Majesty, that's right! Concubine Shu gave birth!"
