Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

After Yinzhen had a tantrum in Jiuzhou Qingyan, he ran to Tianran Tuhua. When Xia Dongchun heard Xiao Laizi report that Yinzhen was coming, she asked Yueyan to send the child over to rest.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

Yinzhen came over, took her hand, and pulled her to sit on the chair. Looking at Xia Dongchun's quiet and elegant appearance, he knew that she was planning to go to bed.

"You went to bed early today, why don't you go out to enjoy the moon?"

"I originally planned to go and admire the moon, but as soon as I went out, I felt that the weather was hot and stuffy, and I didn't want to stay outside."

Xia Dongchun handed Yinzhen a bowl of sour plum soup, leaned on the armrest and turned to look at him. Yinzhen lowered his head, took a sip and said, "The weather is a bit hot and humid, but it will be fine after a while."

Xia Dongchun said nothing, picked up the fan and fanned him gently, "It's still early, Your Majesty, would you like to play a game of chess with me?"

It seemed that seeing that he was bored, Xia Dongchun herself had nothing interesting to do, so she mentioned it. Of course, Yinzhen nodded and agreed: "Your chess skills are unmatched in the harem."

Even he was not her opponent, and he didn't know how she learned it, but she was self-taught. A gentleman does not talk about strange things, so Yinzhen naturally didn't expect that Xia Dongchun in front of him was naturally not the person who was full of rogues before.

Xia Dongchun smiled slightly and asked Chunlan to bring the chessboard so that they could kill some time.

"The banquet must have been very lively, but the emperor is back so early, so you don't have to worry that the sisters in the harem will be unhappy." Xia Dongchun said casually after making a move.

Yinzhen didn't care, he just focused on the chessboard, picked up the chess piece and put it on, "I don't like the quarrels every year. I just reprimanded Concubine Wan and confined her to her room for a period of time."

"The noble lady Wan is the emperor's favorite person, but the emperor is willing to scold her. He is really heartless~" Xia Dongchun's voice was long and drawn out, and it seemed like she was acting coquettishly or complaining. Yinzhen snorted and laughed and said, "Nonsense, you are my favorite person."

"How dare you say that? I like it most when I come back. I accompany you and serve you. I either play the zither or play chess. If I don't play chess, I write or paint. I live a worse life than Hongzhou."

Xia Dongchun complained a few words. If she hadn't learned these skills before, it would have been difficult for her to get away with it. Yinzhen, this heartless dog, would pick on this and that every time he came, and she was not willing to serve him.

He didn't expect himself to be so annoying. Seeing Xia Dongchun's unhappy look, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know Jiaojiao has been tired, okay?"

"I remember there is new tribute of Shu brocade. Su Peisheng, go and bring it all to Imperial Concubine Shu."

Su Peisheng nodded quickly. There was less Shu brocade last year, and there isn't much this year either. There are only five pieces in total. One piece is reserved for the Empress Dowager, and the rest are all here.

The emperor doesn't know why now, but he is becoming more and more inconsiderate of the queen. If it were in the past, the emperor would definitely give the queen a horse!

But now no one mentions it and it was all given directly to Concubine Shu.

Xia Dongchun didn't say much after getting the benefit. Time passed by bit by bit. Xia Dongchun reached out and touched her hair and said to her, "The emperor won."

"Are you deliberately giving in to me, girl?" Yinzhen looked at the chess pieces that were forming a blockade on the chessboard, looked up and asked her with a smile.

Xia Dongchun rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I played chess with you wholeheartedly. If you won, it's because Your Majesty is a great chess player, not because I let you win on purpose."

Yinzhen reached out and pinched her face, then said with a faint smile: "You are good at coaxing me."

Having said that, the relaxed look on Yinzhen's face did not seem fake. Yinzhen stayed directly in Xia Dongchun's palace. Xia Dongchun even asked, "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Your Majesty, don't you want to go to the Empress' place?"

Xia Dongchun stood up and put a cold handkerchief on her face, looking at Yinzhen with one eye. Yinzhen also often saw her tossing her face, and now he was no longer surprised.

"Nothing, I'll rest here today."

"The emperor said it's okay. If the queen blames me for not fulfilling my duty as a concubine tomorrow, the emperor must come and save me."

"The Queen won't blame you."

He spoke with such confidence that Xia Dongchun looked at him in amazement. Yinzhen treated people he didn't care about so casually and allowed others to trample on them. Who knows how many people would laugh at the Queen and her tomorrow.

Hua Fei was the first one.

It wasn't her style to just push him to leave. Xia Dongchun tried to persuade him but when she saw that he didn't respond, she stopped talking.

The lights in the Queen's Peach Blossom Valley were brightly lit. Jianqiu walked in and hesitated for a moment before finally saying to her, "My Queen, the lights in the Natural Painting Gallery have been turned off. You should go to bed too."

Yixiu slowly opened her eyes. In the past, no matter how much the emperor doted on others, he would never fail to come to her on days like the first and fifteenth of the lunar month.

Isn't this behavior telling everyone in the palace that he is dissatisfied with her as the queen?

But what can she do? This is the second time that the emperor has ignored the overall situation, and the second time that the emperor has doted on someone so much. She shouldn't have kept Xia Dongchun in the first place. She didn't expect that the person she thought was useless would now threaten her position. Now it would be difficult to take action.

"Jianqiu, am I really old? The Emperor refuses to come even if he wants to?" Yixiu touched her face, tears gradually falling. Jianqiu looked at her with distress. She had seen how many tears the Empress shed in the past. How could she tolerate it happening again now?

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu shouldn't be alive to be a nuisance to you. We can definitely find a way to deal with her."

Yixiu laughed at herself, "Even if she is replaced by Concubine Shu, there will be another Concubine Hua or Concubine Wan someday, right?"

Now once the emotions exploded, it would be hard to stop. Yixiu covered her forehead and said to her, "You go out first. I will think about it carefully."

Jianqiu wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and finally retreated without saying anything.

Jianqiu stood at the dim doorway, looking in the direction of the natural painting. In the flickering candlelight, Jianqiu found someone to go out. Jiang Fuhai looked at Jianqiu and said in a low voice, "Jianqiu, you are crazy! Once it is exposed, even if you don't say anything, the queen will be implicated!"

"This matter was done by me alone. Even if it breaks out, it will not involve the queen. I can't do anything to her in the palace, but this is her first time to come to the Old Summer Palace, so there must be a chance."

Jiang Fuhai knew that this was really risky, but Jianqiu also said that it was a secret medicine unknown to ordinary people. If the diagnosis could not be made by then, then Concubine Shu could be eliminated quietly, and the Empress could rest assured.

"Are you really determined to do this?"

"Yes, the master was humiliated because of the servant's incompetence. Have you ever seen a queen being bullied like this by a concubine?"

But the Queen had experienced the incident when the Emperor was called away by Nian Shilan, but now it was just a one-time absence. Jianqiu just always remembered Xia Dongchun's attentiveness to her, so when she saw that the Emperor had wronged the Queen because of Xia Dongchun, she couldn't bear it anymore.
