The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy

The Queen's birthday banquet was coming soon. Xiao Cui looked at Su Mei's pale face and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, let's not go."

During this period, Su Mei suffered from severe morning sickness and vomited several times a day. Not only could she not eat, but she also vomited out everything in her stomach.

Qi Sihan ordered the kitchen to prepare different kinds of food for her, but Su Mei was getting thinner day by day, and her originally plump cheeks became slightly sunken.

Su's father and his men had made a fuss at the palace gate several times, but were stopped by Xiaomei and Xiaolan, who prevented them from seeing Su Mei.

Su Mei felt much better after vomiting. She wondered if there was any anti-nausea pill somewhere in the system. Su Mei even wanted to buy one on credit.

Xiaolan tied her cloak for her, Xiaomei brought her a hot water bottle, and Su Mei put some rouge on her face to make herself look better.

"I have to go today. It's the Queen's banquet. If I refuse, people will inevitably talk about me taking advantage of my pregnancy and being disrespectful to the Queen."

As she spoke, she picked up a palace lantern and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Cui asked worriedly, "My Lady, do we really not need a sedan chair?"

"If someone tampered with the sedan chair, it would be even more troublesome," said Su Mei.

Su Mei arrived early, and there were only a few people in the hall.

Lady Yi and Shen agreed to come forward and pay their respects to Su Mei.

Lady Yi has always been low-key, but Lady Shen is indeed a talkative person.

"I have told Your Majesty before that You have great supernatural powers. It is indeed such a blessing that others cannot learn it." Shen agreed and said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty is indeed a blessed person, so enviable." said Lady Yi.

Su Mei smiled and said nothing.

Fortunately, these two are of low status, so even if they are really jealous of Su Mei, they dare not say it openly, but just say a few words in a harmless way.

When Concubine Rou arrived, the Empress just came in.

Imperial Concubine Rou immediately said, "Oh, I'm surprised to see you here today. I've sent so many invitations to you these days, but you're still the best choice. Is it because you're a noble person? Or is it because the Empress is so generous that she can invite you here?"

Su Meixin thought that Concubine Rou was speaking without thinking and actually dared to compare herself with the Empress.

"Your Highness, I'm not feeling well enough to come here. But it's the Empress' birthday, so I should come. After all, the child in my belly will have to call the Empress 'Huang E' Niang' in the future."

"Oh, look at what my sister said, her little mouth is as sweet as if it was covered with honey." Concubine Rou sat down with a smile.

"Noble Concubine Rou talks too much. Instead of wasting time on this, you should think more about how to coax the Emperor into your palace." The Queen glanced at the others present, "Don't all talk big but lack the ability to keep the Emperor. The harem is currently lacking children, so you should put more effort into thinking about expanding the royal family."

Imperial Concubine Rou felt a poke in her sore spot and stood up to salute, "Your Highness, I respectfully respect the Empress's instructions."

"What happened?" The Queen Mother came in with the Emperor.

Everyone hurried to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

The Queen said calmly, "The sisters in the palace have all come to celebrate my birthday with me. I am so happy that I can't help but talk to you all."

Concubine Rou was very unhappy.

Although she was only a concubine, she was also the leader among all the concubines. However, she was previously suppressed by Concubine Yang, and now she is suppressed by Concubine Su.

The queen has a high position after all, but why do these two little hooves step on her head?

Therefore, she always felt unhappy whenever she saw Su Mei.

"How is Concubine Su's health lately? How come she seems to be getting heavier, but her complexion looks much worse?" The empress dowager usually stays in her Shou'an Palace. It's a rare occasion for her to come out today, so she naturally asked Su Mei when she saw her.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I've just been vomiting a lot lately and haven't been able to eat much." Su Mei answered truthfully.

Su Mei said this to the emperor, so that he would understand the hardships she had gone through in giving birth to this child.

Then, she changed the subject, "However, the small kitchen in the palace always comes up with different ways to prepare meals for me."

The Queen Mother nodded. "Raising a child is hard work. It was the same when I was pregnant with Princess Jiahui. Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything else."

"I thank the Empress Dowager for her concern." Su Mei stood up and saluted.

After a while, the rest of the people who came to attend the palace banquet also arrived.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the Empress Dowager!"

"Long live the Queen!"

Everyone paid their respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Empress in turn.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Please sit down without any formalities."

The Queen doesn't look well. I heard she caught a cold recently.

"Miss Fang, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, is here too. I suppose the man next to her is your husband, the top scholar Murong Yuan, right?"

"Your Majesty, my cousin has always admired the Empress. When she heard about your birthday banquet, she had to come to celebrate your birthday." Concubine Rou replied quickly.

"Everyone who comes here is a guest. Miss Fang, there is no need to be restrained. Just try the food at today's palace banquet and see if it suits your taste."

Fang Mingzhu quickly stood up to express her gratitude.

Su Mei glanced at Concubine Rou and thought to herself that she might have ulterior motives. She usually didn't care about family ties like this, so she might have bad intentions.

The palace banquet began soon.

After everyone presented their gifts one by one, they raised their glasses to congratulate the queen.

The little palace maid who was pouring wine for Murong Yuan suddenly lost her grip on the wine pot and spilled all the wine on Murong Yuan's clothes.

"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."

The little palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She actually took out a handkerchief and wiped the wine stains off Murong Yuan's chest.

At the same time, a lotus pink purse fell from Murong Yuan.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the purse.

Seeing this, Concubine Rou came to Murong Yuan, bent down to pick up the purse, looked at it carefully, and looked at Fang Mingzhu with a teasing look.

Fang Mingzhu's face turned pale.

Imperial Concubine Rou seemed unaware and said, "I had no idea that my cousin was so kind and refined. I had never heard that you could do such a delicate job. It's obvious that the third place winner has won my cousin's heart."

Fang Mingzhu didn't know that Murong Yuan had this thing on him. This purse was not embroidered by her, and she didn't know how to make these things at all.

After all, her parents always pampered her at home. Her father said that she only needed to live happily, and it didn't matter whether she learned those girlish things or not.

The imperial concubine now thought that this thing was embroidered by her, so she could only bite the bullet and admit it. She could go home and settle the matter with Murong Yuan later.

After all, we still have to give Murong Yuan some face outside.

Fang Mingzhu forced a smile and whispered, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"Since you've admitted it, let me see what's in this purse." Imperial Concubine Rou opened the purse and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, I'll teach you and I'll make one for the Emperor."
