Everyone in my harem is talented

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit.

"Mother, I offer you a toast.

I wish your mother to be as luxuriant as the pines and cypresses, and to have a long life as vast as the southern mountains. May you live forever.”

Qin Zhi stood up and raised his wine cup to congratulate.

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Others saw this,

He quickly stood up, raised the wine cup on the table in front of him, and toasted the Queen Mother from afar.

"Thank you my son and you all,

I also wish that our Great Yong country will be forever strong and our country will last forever.

May my son be as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun,

All of you will accept it.

May you enjoy happiness in heaven and on earth, be healthy and free from worries, and have the same youthful hair and beautiful face as before.

Today is my birthday, and everyone at the banquet is my family, so please don’t be restrained.”

Queen Mother Lu also stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.

Drink the wine, put the wine cup down,

When she was about to sit down, she was distracted and staggered, and was supported by Xinyun behind her.

"Empress, are you okay?" Xinyun asked with a frown and eyes full of worry.

"Mother/Empress Dowager?"

"Nothing, I am old and my eyesight has become blurry lately.

After standing up suddenly and sitting down again, I couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

There is no need to call the imperial physician. Today is my birthday, please don’t spoil my fun.”

The Queen Mother gently stroked her forehead and felt a dull pain in her head.

After sitting down, she raised her hand and pretended to press her chest casually. She seemed to hear the thump of her heartbeat getting louder.

I also feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach.

Maybe I was too excited. The symptoms were not serious and were completely tolerable.

Qin Zhi's eyes dimmed and he remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

The others looked worried, but due to the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction, they did not dwell on it.

The Princess of Zheng seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Queen Mother Lu with a stern look, so she had to retreat.

Seeing that her third sister had been suppressed, Princess Xu did not step forward again.

The Queen Mother would not allow anyone to ruin her birthday party today.

This year her feast day was celebrated with great fanfare. Civil and military officials, as well as the common people of the capital, came to congratulate her. Even the empress and concubines went on stage to perform to please her.

This is a gesture of goodwill from the emperor. Today is the day she and the emperor reconcile, and nothing unlucky can happen.

After today, everything will be over. She will no longer be anxious and sleepless nights.

"I heard that you guys have discussed to perform talents for the Queen Mother to make her smile?

Why don't you all tell me what you are going to perform?"

Qin Zhi glanced at Shen Ningyue beside him, then passed by Meng Xinghe who was sweating and looked very nervous, and finally stopped at Meng Wuyue who was calm and composed, before he withdrew his gaze.

"Father, father, grandmother, let me go first. I learned the dance and mother said she would accompany me," the eldest princess Qin Ronglu jumped out and said excitedly.

Qin Zhi couldn't help laughing.

"What dance have you learned to present to your grandmother? Don't learn something weird and make a fool of yourself!"

"Father, I am learning fan dance.

It won't be embarrassing! Mother, Weixia, Qinghe and the others all praised Ronglu for dancing well, Father!"

Qin Ronglu pouted and looked a little unhappy.

"Okay, let Ronglu be the first to perform for the Empress Dowager! Ahem, ahem! Ahem!"

Empress Dowager Lu was laughing and suddenly started coughing.

She covered her mouth and began to vomit.

The people around her hurriedly protected her, fearing that she would fall to the ground.

Others handed over handkerchiefs.

Princess Zheng rushed forward quickly to protect the people around the Queen Mother, while Princess Xu anxiously shouted for someone to find the imperial physician.

The whole scene looked chaotic.

But except for the palace maids who went to ask for the imperial physician and the relatives close to the empress dowager, such as Princess Zheng and Princess Xu, who anxiously surrounded her, no one else moved. Most people just watched in panic, not daring to move.

"Mother/Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother vomited so much that she couldn't get up, and she began to feel dizzy and nauseous.

"How come the wind is so strong that it blew out all the candles? Someone, come and light all the candles for me first." The Queen Mother looked up, a little confused, and she shouted harshly.

The whole audience was in an uproar, but no one dared to say anything. They could only call her "Empress Dowager, Mother" and some even called for the imperial physician.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Empress Dowager Lu.

Qin Zhi sat at the top. He gently shook the remaining half cup of orange-yellow wine in the glass and drank it slowly.

A large group of palace servants and eunuchs had been quietly guarding Qin Zhi's side, not moving a step and not leaving his side.

He looked up at the position of the concubines. Concubine Lin Gui had her head half lowered, seeming a little anxious. Her hand was tightly grasping the wrist of Linlang, the senior palace maid beside her.

"Send mother back to Ci'an Palace, and have all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital go there to treat her."
