As the palace banquet approached, An Lingrong sent some realgar pills to Concubine Hua, but unexpectedly received two pieces of extremely valuable information in return.

Shen Meizhuang of Cunju Hall and Fang Jiachun of Zhongcui Palace are probably pregnant.

However, both of them chose to conceal the news, and Concubine Hua asked her to avoid them as much as possible before the palace banquet officially began.

In other words, Concubine Hua was going to cause trouble at the palace banquet.

An Lingrong quickly reminded her not to go too far and get herself involved.

In fact, she also wanted to remind Hua Fei that the Queen was pregnant, but Hua Fei, who had been fighting with the Queen for many years, had not been able to get such secret information. The source of her information would only be unclear, which would arouse suspicion.

Anyway, as long as the Queen is the master of the Central Palace, Concubine Hua will not go over and beat anyone.

If she guessed correctly, the queen would take the opportunity to announce the happy event at the palace banquet.

It's okay for Concubine Hua to add some harmless trouble.

The palace banquet was held under clear skies on a bright day. In order to allow everyone to prepare well for the banquet, the queen waived the greetings that day.

All evening banquets in the palace usually started at the beginning of the evening.

An Lingrong, who was pregnant, couldn't stand the hunger and asked Baoge to eat early.

The emperor, who hurried over to visit the Sixth Prince, only had a bowl of chicken noodle soup to fill his stomach.

"Rong'er, I'm going to Shoukang Palace to invite the Empress Dowager. If you feel unwell, you can leave on your own."

Since Concubine Shu is petite, he couldn't help but give her a few more instructions before he felt at ease.

"I will obey the emperor. Please go to Shoukang Palace quickly and don't keep the empress dowager waiting for too long."

Hearing that there would be singing and dancing at the dinner, An Lingrong wanted to take the opportunity to broaden her horizons.

Not long after the emperor left, An Lingrong changed into the newly made auspicious clothes for the imperial concubine.

Seeing that the three of them were wearing thick clothes, she walked towards the imperial garden.

The palace banquet was held in an open space surrounded by blooming flowers. Facing south, there were three long tables at the top, which were the seats for the emperor, the empress dowager and the queen.

There were two vertical rows of tables and chairs facing each other on both sides of the three long tables. An Lingrong took a look and walked towards the second empty seat on the right.

"Meet Sister Hua Fei."

"You have good eyesight, please take a seat, Sister Shufei."

In this dynasty, the left is respected. As a later concubine, An Lingrong naturally could not be so tactless as to run to the left.

Besides, Concubine Qi has already firmly occupied the first seat on the left. If she sits there, Concubine Duan will have to sit below Concubine Hua.

The party isn't even starting yet and things are going to get messed up.

An Lingrong had no doubt that Concubine Hua would take advantage of the chaos at night to teach Concubine Duan a severe lesson for daring to sit below her.

"Sister Hua Fei, this place is filled with flowers, perfect for holding a banquet."

"That's not true. Looking at the blooming flowers makes me feel much better."

She would have to see the old faces of the Queen and Concubine Duan later, so she had to look at more flowers to refresh her eyes.

What An Lingrong wanted to say was that lush vegetation is likely to hide villains.

Who knew that Concubine Hua misunderstood and actually began to appreciate the flowers and plants.

Just then, Shen Meizhuang, her subordinate, came to pay her respects, so An Lingrong had to stop the conversation.

"No need to be polite, noble lady Hui. The Queen said that all the sisters should have fun together today, so you can do as you please. Don't worry about me."

Hua Fei's glares kept flying towards Shen Meiyu, and she returned to her seat following An Lingrong's words.

This Concubine Hua is really interesting. Shen Meizhuang obviously wanted to pay her a visit, but was bluntly rejected.

There were two plates of nuts and two plates of snacks on the table, both of which looked dry.

An Lingrong had no desire to take action.

She was free and silently looked at the arrangements for the banquet. The windproof lanterns were hung high on the drooping branches, looking a little unstable.

There are blooming potted peonies placed between the tables.

An Lingrong took a light sniff and smelled a faint fishy odor.

She pointed at the big red peony between the two of them with the finger hanging by her side. Hua Fei waved her fingers wildly, indicating that she was not so cruel as to damage the flowers and plants at the banquet.

An Lingrong summoned Baoque.

"The fragrance of the flowers is so strong that it gives me a headache. Wait until it's dark and no one is paying attention, then move the flowerpot away."

"Sister Shufei, the dragon fetus is the most important. Songzhi, move this pot of flowers next to me now."

After she gave the order, she raised her eyebrows proudly at An Lingrong.

When Concubine Qi on the opposite side saw that Concubine Hua had objections to the arrangement of flowers and plants, she became so angry that her breathing became heavier.

She comforted herself in her heart that Hua Fei was under the control of the Queen and there was no need for her to take action.

An Lingrong glanced at the people present and discovered something very interesting.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang did not sit next to each other. She came late and sat below Concubine Jing on the left.

Next to Shen Meizhuang sat Concubine Xin, who had little presence.

She also observed that Shen Meizhuang looked several times at Zhen Huan who was talking to Concubine Cao across from her.

Huanbi, who was standing beside Concubine Cao, also stared at Concubine Cao with envy.

Zhen Huan is really likable.

"The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress have arrived!"

Su Peisheng's shrill voice interrupted An Lingrong's wandering thoughts.

She greeted everyone with the greetings.

"Your Highness, Your ...

"You all get up."

The emperor, the empress dowager and the queen each spoke some polite words in turn.

The dishes were then served. An Lingrong saw the crystal clear sashimi, steamed fish, fish pearls and other hot pots placed on the table one after another.

Now you know what Hua Fei meant by fun.

I don’t know how many big fish can be fried from this table of fishy dishes.

An Lingrong inadvertently brushed her face with her handkerchief, a burst of fragrance wafted over, and she felt much better.

Shen Meizhuang next to her was not so lucky and vomited on the spot.

Hua Fei reacted the fastest, she asked with a smile.

"Is this what happened, Lady Hui?"

Before Shen Meizhuang could answer, Fang Jiachunyi, who was separated from her by a person, also began to retch.

Now, even without Concubine Hua’s reminder, the Empress Dowager could no longer sit still.

"Zhuxi, go get the doctor!"

The queen sitting at the top was so angry that these bitches actually announced her pregnancy before her.

She had no choice but to suppress the discomfort in her heart.

"I congratulate the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

"Empress, it's too early to congratulate you. We need to wait for the imperial physician to examine us before we can confirm."

When Shen Meizhuang heard this, her face turned pale.

At the end, Huanbi, who wanted to imitate vomiting, gave up the idea of ​​following suit.

As an experienced person, the Queen Mother was basically certain that someone would be pregnant, she said with a smile.

"The Queen has chosen the right date. Seeing the Emperor's descendants becoming more and more numerous, I finally have the face to see the late Emperor after a hundred years."

"Your Majesty, this is all the work of the Imperial Observatory. I dare not take any credit for it."

The Queen Mother did not forget to criticize her even at this time.

The queen couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited it out.
