TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 170 Yixiu 39

She lowered her head and smiled faintly, and was about to answer when Xia Dongchun beside her spoke first.

"Don't worry, Noble Lady Fucha. We have no worries about food and clothing here, and we have such a cute little thing to keep us company. Life is not boring at all."

Xia Dongchun now had no intention of trying to please Noble Lady Fucha.

She also understood that the Fucha family would not target her family just because of a few quarrels.

Besides, she has the support of the Queen.

Follow the basic rules on weekdays, and focus on your own comfort at other times.

Noble Lady Fucha was not comforted by Xia Dongchun. She glared at him fiercely, thinking that Xia Dongchun was deliberately trying to bully her.

"It's fine, why are you still angry?"

Xia Dongchun curled her lips and muttered softly, then turned around and signaled the eunuch to put Tuanzi in her arms.

"Oh my god, how much did Tuanzi eat?"

"Quick, Lingrong, help me put Tuanzi's legs up."

Xia Dongchun has the most contact with Tuanzi on weekdays and is also the person who likes it the most in the Yanxi Palace.

Perhaps because he has been in contact with too many humans since childhood and has lived an overly comfortable life, Tuanzi has a very docile temperament.

He didn't get annoyed by being held like this by Xia Dongchun, but bleated and let her rub him.

An Lingrong smiled with her hands covering her lips when she saw the man and the bear, and reached out to rub Tuanzi's furry belly a few times.

The touch is no longer as soft as when I was a child, and is slightly rough.

"It looked so small in the garden, but how come it looks so big when I hold it in my arms? It covers Sister Xia perfectly."

Seeing that they changed the subject, Noble Lady Fucha didn't want to continue and followed them.

"Who says it isn't? It's growing so fast. When it was first brought here, we could hold it in our arms with one hand. Now? We can hardly lift it."

"Come on, Tuanzi, look at me."

Noble Lady Fucha was teasing Tuanzi with a cut apple in her hand, but her own pet was closer to Xia Dongchun, which made her very embarrassed.

Tuanzi didn't care. He held the peeled bamboo shoots in his left hand and the carrots in his right hand.

While chatting happily.

Xia Dongchun didn't care whether the food residue had stained her precious clothes. She felt happy from the inside out when she saw Tuanzi.

"Sister Fucha, don't tease it. Let it concentrate on eating. What if it gets hungry and thin later?"

Noble Lady Fucha looked at Tuanzi and then at Xia Dongchun. "Even with your flag, your head isn't as big as its head, and you're still worrying about it getting thin and hungry?"

"Look at its appetite. Do you know how much it eats in a day? It has four eunuchs serving it."

Xia Dongchun was not afraid of her. He tried to lift his chin and shook it gently behind Tuanzi, trying to prove that his head was bigger than Tuanzi's.

"So what? These eunuchs were personally allocated by the Empress, and none of Tuanzi's expenses will be charged to you."

"Besides, I've sent people south. Winter is coming soon, and we can't make dumplings without fresh bamboo shoots."

"you……"

Noble Lady Fucha was at a loss for words, and what Xia Dongchun said was not wrong.

After the dumpling entered the palace, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. After the emperor was sure that this thing would not hurt anyone, he did not ask any more questions.

Only the queen was particularly concerned. She specially had the yard tidied up and assigned someone to take care of it.

The emperor initially thought that this was a wild beast not suitable to be kept in the palace, but it was the queen who persuaded him.

"Anyway, I was the one who found the dumpling."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, An Lingrong quickly interrupted, "Sisters, please don't be angry. You're scaring Tuanzi."

Upon hearing this, Xia Dongchun immediately shook her legs like coaxing a child, even though her movement could not shake Tuanzi at all.

Noble Lady Fucha also liked Tuanzi very much. When she saw that Tuanzi had finished eating the bamboo shoots in her hand, she handed him another one and stopped arguing with Xia Dongchun.

Yixiu knew the animal nature of pandas, so in order to ensure that no one was hurt, she specially asked the system for medicine.

To ensure that Tuanzi would not do anything to hurt others and would not be disturbed by territorial awareness, she also asked the system to customize other effects just in case.

This medicine will not affect its lethality when Tuanzi's life is threatened.

Now everyone in the palace knows that Tuanzi is the most gentle little bear.

Tuanzi’s eating broadcast career is very successful. Even if he doesn’t do anything, just watching him eat can keep people watching for a long time.

It's a very healing process.

"Click~Click!"

The crisp chewing sound echoed in the yard. Just by listening to the sound, you can feel the rich juice exploding in the mouth, making people feel like it is eating some delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Xia Dongchun was curious for a moment, so she motioned An Lingrong to hold Tuanzi, and she took a bamboo shoot and took a bite.

An Lingrong was startled by her actions, "Sister Xia! What are you doing?"

Xia Dongchun smiled sheepishly and stuck his head out from the side. "Tuanzi tastes so good. I want to try it too. This bamboo shoot is really good."

The young eunuch beside him quickly took credit, "My lords, you may not know that each variety of bamboo shoots tastes different."

"It's rare to find something as fresh and sweet as this. Most of them are numb and astringent, and even give you a stomachache. They have to be processed before being cooked in the imperial kitchen."

"The bamboo shoots that Tuanzi eats are varieties that we servants have carefully selected, and we have all tasted them."

Noble Lady Fucha nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "That's right, go back and claim your reward."

After a while, Xia Dongchun lost all feeling in his legs. "No, the dumpling is too heavy. Put it down."

The eunuch took a deep breath and took the dumpling down, and the other party stopped chewing.

He turned to look at Xia Dongchun in confusion, not understanding why his car had changed.

An Lingrong was amused by its human-like appearance. She held its big paw and fed the bamboo shoots back to its mouth.

Tuanzi's attention was instantly diverted and he continued to show off.

The dumpling placed on the ground seemed to be tired of eating. It lay on the ground with its big head resting on its hands, waiting for someone to feed it.

This job has always been Xia Dongchun's favorite. While she was massaging Tuanzi's back with great effort, she would stuff a fruit into his back from time to time.

After a while, Baojuan brought a few more pomegranates, and Noblewoman Fucha and An Lingrong peeled the pomegranates for Tuanzi together.

This treatment left the young eunuchs serving Tuanzi dumbfounded.

What a perfect life this is, with three concubines serving me all day long! !

"Is it okay for Tuanzi to always eat these sweet things?"

Noble Lady Fucha had heard that children who loved eating sweets would have toothaches. After seeing Tuanzi grow from so small to so big, she always treated it like a child.

"Don't worry, sister. The Queen has sent someone to check it out, and they all said it's nothing serious. As long as it likes it, that's fine."

When the Empress was mentioned, Noble Lady Fucha's eyes darkened. "I heard that the Empress treats Princess Chaogui very well. Sister often goes to Jingren Palace. Have you ever seen her?"

An Lingrong glanced at Xia Dongchun and saw that she was having fun with Tuanzi, as if she didn't hear anything, so she answered slowly.

"Sister, you're joking. I'm just a humble concubine. How could I bother Jingren Palace so often? I just send some gifts occasionally to show my appreciation."

"I've only met Princess Chaogui once, and we haven't had a conversation."

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Noble Lady Fucha had no choice but to give up. After a while, she felt unwilling to give up and started to add fuel to the fire.

"Concubine Wan is now the most beloved person in the Emperor's heart. She is called to the Yangxin Palace to serve as a clerk all day long. I wonder if Sister An can also benefit from it."

"Sister, if you become famous someday, don't forget us."

After saying this, Noble Lady Fucha glared at Xia Dongchun with a look of disappointment.

Touch! Touch! Touch! Hugging her every day isn't enough. She can't hear what she's saying? Doesn't she have any sense of crisis?

An Lingrong understood Fucha Guiren's temperament to some extent, so she just needed to say a few nice words to her and it wasn't that difficult to deal with her.

"Sister, you're always making fun of me. You come from a prominent family, you're beautiful, and the Emperor has always been thinking about you. How can we compare?"

"Since I entered the palace, I have received a lot of care from my two sisters. I will never forget this kindness."

An Lingrong's words made Noble Lady Fucha very happy, but she lowered her head feeling guilty after hearing the rest of the story.

How could she not know whether she had taken care of An Lingrong or not? At most, she was just too lazy to cause trouble.

Forget it, she's just a concubine, there's no need to bother with her.

Noble Lady Fucha led Sang'er back to her palace with satisfaction.

She sat in front of the mirror and casually took off the pearl hairpin on her head and threw it into the box. Who was she showing off to? The two people she lived with were so boring.

"An Changzai is really good at talking. No wonder the emperor likes her."

"The Emperor is still thinking about me? Who cares? It's just that it won't work if things continue like this."

"Master, don't worry. You were granted the title of noble lady when you were first promoted. The Emperor specially allowed you to live in the main palace. As long as we live peacefully, it's only a matter of time before you are promoted to concubine or consort!"

Sang'er stood behind Noble Lady Fucha and rubbed her shoulders attentively. If her master was angry, her life would not be easy.

Noble Lady Fucha sighed softly, "What do you know? This is just telling Fucha that I will only be a concubine in the end, so I should keep to myself."

She raised her hand to rub her swollen forehead. Her family repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble in the palace, but her pride since childhood made her unwilling to be trampled under the feet of Zhen Huan.

Xia Dongchun's flamboyant personality displeased the emperor, mainly because he had defected to the queen early on.

In Fucha Guiren's eyes, An Lingrong was of no use at all, and she didn't want to bother winning her over.

"Son'er, write home and ask them to find some effective medicine. I need to get pregnant as soon as possible."

"Master, medicine is always poisonous. You have always been in good health, so why..."

"Alright, go ahead. I'm not causing any trouble. Can't I just work on myself?"

Knowing that she was just a mascot, representing Fucha's loyalty to the emperor, Noble Lady Fucha was very clear about what she could and could not do.

She shook her handkerchief with an impatient look on her face and spoke out what was in her heart.

"The Empress is so tolerant towards Xia Dongchun, so I don't think she will target pregnant concubines. Nothing will happen."

Although both were angry, Concubine Li was luckier than Noble Lady Fucha.

Watching the fish in the Thousand Carp Pond late at night, Su Rong stood behind him silently guarding him.

"What are you doing standing so far away?"

Not long after returning to the palace, Concubine Li met this handsome guard again. The two met several times but never spoke a word to each other.

The scar on Su Rong's forehead had healed long ago, and he kept the medicine bottle safely.

Until tonight...

Hearing Lipin's voice, Su Rong hesitated for a moment and then quickly walked up.

Ruixiang's eyes were complicated, but she did not hesitate and walked quickly to a nearby distance to watch the wind.

Lipin could have stopped it, but she didn't.

"You're standing there without saying anything. Who are you trying to scare to death?"

Su Rong smiled, took out a red camellia from behind and handed it to Concubine Li.

"Just now I passed by here and saw that the queen seemed to be crying. But what is she unhappy about?"

Lipin didn't expect that this seemingly dull guard was so bold that he dared to send her flowers. No wonder she could feel someone staring at her every time they met.

"I'm not happy. The emperor has completely forgotten about me. How can I be happy?"

She took the camellia and spun it around in her hands, speaking in an especially bold manner.

Su Rong clenched his palms and bravely said comfortingly, "Your Majesty is a natural beauty. You should smile more often. No matter where you are, don't make things difficult for yourself."

"My colleagues who are on patrol with me will be back soon. I cannot stay for long, so I will take my leave now."

"It's late at night, and the early winter is very cold. Your Majesty should take care of yourself."

Lipin said nothing, staring at the other person's departing back in a daze.

Her mood suddenly improved a lot, but it was not because of those words. The palace maid had to say such clichéd comforting words many times every day.

Ruixiang came back crying, "My Queen, let's go back quickly."

Lipin sneered and said lightly, "Coward!"

I don't know who this is directed at.

The camellia was carefully kept by Concubine Li in a small vase. The round and plump little porcelain vase seemed out of place among the precious porcelain.

Regardless of size or color.

Concubine Li sat on the bed and looked at the blooming red flower. Its beauty still blossomed in the dim candlelight. Even though it was picked, its beauty was not diminished at all.

Concubine Cao's words once again came to her mind.

"We've been together for many years. Since you've come to see me, I'll just say this: No one is perfect forever, and no flower is red forever."

"Today there's Wanpin, and tomorrow there will be more. If you're determined to fight for it, that's fine, but why make it so difficult for yourself? Even if you're miserable, will the Emperor still see it?"

Lipin reached out and touched the petals, and the depression gradually dissipated. Then she lay down and fell asleep.

The elegant fragrance filled the bed curtains and penetrated into her dreams.

The emperor's blatant favoritism caused dissatisfaction among the empress dowager.

Unable to wait for Yixiu to take action, she had to invite the emperor herself.

"Zhuxi, have someone prepare some snacks that the emperor likes."

"How long will this queen be so stubborn? She's becoming more and more outrageous. She's been perfunctory in paying her respects here, and I have to worry about all the affairs of the harem."

Zhuxi went forward to replace the heater for the Queen Mother, and then comforted her: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has managed the harem in perfect order."

"You saw all of this, and you were praising it a few days ago."

The Queen Mother sighed, "Yes, this Queen has done much better than I imagined, but it's just too good, it's like she's just doing her job."

"The Queen doesn't care about her husband, nor does she care about the honor or disgrace of her family. This is what I am most worried about."

"What is the Empress worried about?"
