Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power
Chapter 73: Legend of Zhen Huan: Xia Dongchun. 72
After An Lingrong said that day, Xia Dongchun thought about it for a while, thinking that even if Nian Shilan stayed in the palace in the future, her position would not be very high, and the emperor would not give her power anymore. It would be better for her to follow Lingrong so that she would have put an end to it.
So Xiao Dezi was told to just keep an eye on it and report to him if anything happened, and no one was allowed to interfere.
Cao Qinmo, who reported the incident that day, was commended by the Emperor and the Empress. Now she was promoted to the position of concubine and given the title of Xiang. I'm afraid only the Emperor knows the deep meaning behind this.
Neither Zhen Huan nor Cao Qinmo will feel at ease unless Nian Shilan is dead, so Zhen Huan will definitely instigate Cao Qinmo to ask for Nian Shilan's death. By then, Wen Yi will have lost her mother and will definitely need someone to raise her.
In Xia Dongchun's opinion, Concubine Jing is a good candidate.
However, at this time there is still a Concubine Duan who is eyeing the children covetously. The Emperor feels a little guilty about his use of her many years ago. Now, because of this guilt, she is able to keep her seat on the throne of concubine, and she also shows great love for the children on weekdays.
It can be seen that the other party had wanted to adopt a child for a long time, but there was no suitable one at the time. However, when Cao Qinmo was killed, she became even more determined.
"Speaking of which, the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Xiang is quite good." Concubine Jing paused and said with a smile: "Concubine Xiang is now independent of Nian Shilan and makes her own decisions."
"She's smart, but too smart."
No one would really trust such a person. The emperor might have had a grudge against her for a long time and was just waiting for something to happen to Cao Qinmo. Then Concubine Duan would join forces with Zhen Huan to take Wen Yi away to raise her.
In the early days, Concubine Jing took care of them so much. Zhen Huan knew that Concubine Jing was lonely, but she didn't expect that she would give Concubine Duan. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for their alliance, or it could be because Concubine Duan emphasized it every time, making Zhen Huan think that she was good to children and loved them very much.
Xia Dongchun laughed with an ambiguous meaning, "Sister has embroidered so many bellybands, Lingxi can't wear them all."
"Can't you embroider a little more? Lingxi is so small now, and if she wears it every day, it will eventually run out."
Concubine Jing lowered her eyes, thinking it was a pity that she didn't have a child of her own, otherwise her life would have been quite fulfilling.
Not long after, she heard that Nian Shilan had asked Suxi, a young eunuch from the Yikun Palace, to set fire to Suiyu Pavilion. When Xiao Dezi told her, she said, "Suxi had been lingering outside Suiyu Pavilion for a long time, but few people went there, so he hadn't been discovered yet."
But it is not clear whether Zhen Huan knew about it.
Xia Dongchun nodded without much reaction, "Got it, no need to alert the enemy, just let him be."
Since Ling Rong was so anxious to get rid of Nian Shilan, she would not stop him. But now seeing her anxious look, Xia Dongchun frowned and said to Xiao Dezi, "Go and see that everything about Concubine An and Concubine Jing is wiped out. Don't let anyone know."
"Yes, Concubine Jing is steady and Concubine An is also careful and cautious. They will not make big mistakes." Xiao Dezi didn't finish his words. Since they all knew about it, others might find out. "It's good to make more plans. It's because we have come to this point that we have to be more careful."
Until everything is cleaned up, all complacency is dangerous.
Xiao Dezi took the order and went down. Due to the fact that the people in Chengqian Palace acted in secret, many people didn't even know who they were contacting. The matter was complicated and difficult to investigate.
Xia Dongchun stretched out her hand, and Chunlan applied the ointment on her hand: "Madam, you don't want to keep it?"
"What Concubine An said does make some sense. Since she can't get up, she is useless to me. Why should I protect a useless person?"
She had forgotten before that the emperor was suspicious and petty. Even if he had feelings for Nian Shilan, he would not let her take over power in the future. It would be better to find someone else.
"Has Miss Min been contacted?"
"Yes, but I haven't seen any response from Concubine Min in the past few days. I guess I have to wait for a while longer."
Since Lingxi was born, Chunhong volunteered to take care of the princess. Usually, Chunlan stayed by her side. Xia Dongchun looked at her and said, "It can't be too long. It must be the first month of the lunar calendar at the latest. I can't wait any longer."
Chunlan nodded naturally, and said with her hands moving non-stop: "I'm sure Concubine Min will think it through, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."
Although she said so, Xia Dongchun still felt that she had to have some leverage over the other party. However, there was more to this matter than just blackmail. If she knew what was good for her, she could resolve the matter peacefully.
On the 37th day after Nian Gengyao's death, Nian Shilan was burning paper money in the palace. Songzhi accompanied her and said, "Your Highness, you can't burn paper money in the palace. If people find out, what will happen to you?"
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi, took a deep breath and said to her: "Now I can only burn some paper money for my brother here, where is Suxi?"
"He has been looking for a few days, but he didn't find an opportunity a few days ago. Today, the whole palace will go to listen to the opera, so I think there will be a chance."
"Tell him to act quickly, that bitch Zhen Huan! If it weren't for Xia Dongchun, I wouldn't know it. She really joined forces with the emperor to deal with the Ohnian family. I will not be satisfied until I have my revenge!"
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan with sadness in her eyes. The Nian family was so prominent in the past, who would have thought that they would be like this today?
Thinking of Songzhi, Nian Shilan looked at her and touched her face: "It's me who has caused you trouble. Zhou Ninghai is dead, and you are the only one who is willing to stay with me."
Song Zhi smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I have been following you since I was a child, so how can I be implicated?"
Nian Shilan looked sad. She had almost cried her eyes out these past few days. Fortunately, except for her brother, all the other members of the Nian family were saved. With Xia Dongchun around, they would surely not be in danger of their lives.
"After this is over, I will ask Concubine Shu to send you out." Nian Shilan still felt sorry for the servant who had been with her all her life, but Songzhi shook her head: "I will not leave. I will always accompany the queen. If the queen has something to do, what's the point of Songzhi being alone?"
On that day, she was recommended to the Emperor by the Empress. Although she was happy that she had become the master, she never thought about leaving Nian Shilan. Serving the master had become the most important thing in her life, and she could not think of anything else.
Songzhi is the one who is best tamed by this rule, and she will never do anything on her own.
……
After finishing her dinner, Xia Dongchun leaned on the couch to read a book. Yinzhen sat beside her and said with a smile: "You like to hold the book in your hands, and even I don't even look at it."
As he spoke, Yinzhen pulled her sleeve with one hand, trying to get her to pay attention to him. After reading this scene, Xia Dongchun reached out and held Yinzhen's hand: "To be honest, I saw this book in the emperor's room. The Golden Lotus and the West Chamber are far less interesting than this."
"You are so bold, you have no shame at all." If it were in the past, Yinzhen would definitely think that the other party was immoral, but now that he got to know Xia Dongchun, he realized that the other party really liked to read all kinds of books, not to mention contemporary ones, he wanted to take a look at all kinds of books, including vernacular novels, formal books, mathematics, astronomy and geography, and even liked to read things from the West.
Xia Dongchun looked at Yinzhen with depression. Heaven would not allow her to make things that did not belong to this era, and she could not make a cannon all of a sudden. If she really did it, who knew what the emperor would do?
Forget it, it’s not like I’m asking her to change her fate, so forget it.
