Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was time to prepare for Hongzhou's first birthday ceremony. The Emperor loved the Sixth Prince and was also worried about Concubine Shu who was now pregnant, so he specially prepared the one-year-old ceremony in Chengqian Palace and asked all the concubines in the six palaces to come and watch the ceremony.

On the day of Hongzhou's first birthday, Xia Dongchun dressed very formally, which was unusual for her. Looking at her clothes, Xia Dongchun looked at Chunhong and Chunlan with a smile.

"How about it?"

Qiuyue and Qiuxia were concentrating on helping her put her clothes in order. Upon hearing this, they smiled at Xia Dongchun, and their tone was full of uncontrollable praise: "Our queen looks like a fairy from heaven, so naturally she looks good in anything she wears. Not to mention the servants, I'm afraid that the emperor would be stunned for a while when he saw her!"

There was nothing false about what she said. Xia Dongchun raised her red lips and smiled, "Let's go. The emperor will be here soon. Go and bring Hongzhou to us."

"Hey, slave, let's go right away."

Sure enough, Yinzhen had already come in when Hongzhou was just carried to the front hall. Xia Dongchun responded with a smile. She had put on a simple makeup today and made her face look a little paler. To outsiders, it seemed that she had only drawn eyebrows and painted lips. Even if you looked closely, you couldn't tell anything.

So Yinzhen immediately ran over to see her and said, "You are not feeling well. I can't make any mistakes even if I am here."

Xia Dongchun smiled weakly, and said nothing, just smiled at Yinzhen, "This is Hongzhou's first birthday. I want to witness this scene with my own eyes. Our Hongzhou has grown up."

Yinzhen could not say anything about her motherly love. He just watched how Xia Dongchun took care of her children and then thought of himself.

The Empress Dowager had never taken such good care of him before. Now that he had become the emperor, their conversations had more interests involved, including family, himself, and... the Fourteenth Prince.

But Yinzhen couldn't say all these, so when he saw Hongzhou, he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

However, when Hongzhou looked up and called "Ama" with a smiling face, all these little thoughts disappeared, leaving only a heart full of fatherly love with nowhere to express.

"Hongzhou is precocious. He learned to call "Ama" before he was even a year old. It's obvious that he is smart." This reminded Yinzhen of his good-for-nothing third son, Hongshi.

Now that he is so old, it is better to have a child who is less troublesome. It seems that he is not a sensible person. In the past, because there was only this prince in the palace, Yinzhen thought that he would be well taught by someone, but he did not expect that Hongshi was really stupid. Whenever he asked about it, he thought that this was not his child.

Forget it. It’s annoying to think about it. I won’t think about it anymore.

Hongzhou in front of him can be trained well. He still has time and it is not too late now.

Having seen his father's longevity, Yinzhen thought that he would live as long as his father, so he now felt that he had time to train a few more heirs.

Xia Dongchun didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would probably complain, "Fourth Master, you really don't have so much time! Don't you think about how old you were when you ascended the throne? You're already in your forties, and you don't know how old you are."

Soon it became lively outside. Xia Dongchun spread a blanket in the front hall and placed a lot of things on it. Xia Dongchun didn't take things like the one-year-old ceremony seriously. Whatever Hongzhou caught would be it.

Yinzhen looked at the things on the table, which were nothing more than pens, ink, paper, inkstone, bow and arrow, dagger and the like. Yinzhen thought about it and asked Su Peisheng to get his seal.

"Remember, this is the one that the Holy Ancestor personally gave to me."

That seal was given to Yinzhen by Emperor Kangxi when he was still a child. Yinzhen has treasured it very much over the years. Su Peisheng never expected that the seal was used for the Sixth Prince's one-year-old birthday ceremony!

"Yes, slave, go right away."

The thing was placed on the bookshelf behind the imperial study, kept carefully in a brocade box. Su Peisheng hurried back. Now that the time was almost up, he had to hurry up.

Not long after, the queen led the concubines to Chengqian Palace. How could she have thought that there would be such a day!

But no matter how unhappy she was, as the queen she still had to put on a dignified and appropriate smile and go to Chengqian Palace with the concubines to congratulate the sixth prince on his first birthday.

But it's better this way. Xia Dongchun has been staying in the palace since she became pregnant. Even if I want to know any news about her, I have no way of finding out. This is a good opportunity for me to go and see if her pregnancy is as unstable as others say.

As soon as they entered Chengqian Palace, they were dazzled by the scene inside. Except for Concubine Jing and An Lingrong who came here frequently, everyone else was dazzled by the splendor of Chengqian Palace.

What followed was extreme jealousy and envy. I had only heard that Concubine Wan was favored by the Emperor, but I didn't expect that she was the hidden favorite concubine.

The Queen's expression was not very good either. After all, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Xia Dongchun was favored by the Emperor, and many things in this palace were not available to her even though she was the Queen. Jingren Palace was the Queen's bedroom, and it looked extremely shabby compared to Chengqian Palace.

I have always known that the Queen is a shrewd person. She sees many things and I am afraid that they have left traces in the hearts of others.

"Greetings to the Queen."

"Greetings to Concubine Shu."

When Xia Dongchun was paying her respects, those with lower ranks than Xia Dongchun had to pay their respects as well. Except for Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi who performed the equal greetings, Xia Dongchun was the highest-ranking one.

With the emperor in front of her, Yixiu couldn't possibly embarrass her, so she smiled and said to Xia Dongchun, "Get up, Concubine Shu is so lucky. The Sixth Prince has just turned one year old, and she's pregnant again. If the next baby is another prince, it will be a great contribution."

"I dare not take credit for it. It is my blessing to give birth to an heir for Your Majesty. I am already very happy."

Xia Dongchun replied to Yixiu indifferently, and then asked those who were still kneeling to stand up.

"Everyone, get up."

Concubine Jing was the first to stand beside Xia Dongchun. An Lingrong was a step late and could only stand beside Concubine Jing, looking at Xia Dongchun who was obviously dressed up carefully.

With just a glance, his eyes were already glued to the other person, and everything else in the world could no longer catch his eye. Once he saw a beautiful woman, he would be ruined for life. This is really the case with An Lingrong now.

Xia Dongchun felt a pair of burning eyes staring at her, and when she turned around she saw An Lingrong looking at her infatuatedly. She smiled complacently. As expected, she was so beautiful that even An Lingrong, such a shameless person, was staring at her in a daze. It can be seen that she is indeed beautiful. Qiuyue was not lying to me.

Xia Dongchun looked around at the people who came and saw two people he didn't know, probably they had entered the palace recently.

"Your Majesty has found another beauty? Won't you introduce her to me?"

These words were bold, but seeing that the emperor looked as if he was accustomed to it, it was obvious that Concubine Shu was like this in front of the emperor. For a moment, they were angry and furious, and they all lowered their heads and didn't want to speak.
