Qingying sat on Hongli's right.

The first one next is Concubine Hui.

Followed by Concubine Shu and Concubine Chun in turn.

Among the concubines now, Zhaopin is the most favored.

But Meipin has a son, who can still surpass her.

The rest were pregnant women like Concubine Wan, and their ranking was behind her.

As for the opposite side, they were the wives of princes from various families, but in the golden years, no wives of ministers or officials had entered the palace.

The children received the signal and gathered around the Queen Mother.

Qingying drank a glass of wine, glanced at the scene, but her eyes were fixed.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and turned to look to the other side.

Yongqi and his men were often in the Empress Dowager's presence, so they were naturally close to her.

However, Yongzhang and Yonghuang rarely saw the empress dowager and looked a bit timid.

The most eye-catching one is Jingse.

Several of Yongqi's brothers were already living in the princes' residence, but Jingse was now being raised by the empress dowager herself.

But he stood far behind the children, with no intention of going up to the Queen Mother to please her.

There are many children now, and each of them has been given a red envelope. The empress dowager doesn't care who is close to her and who is not.

After all, Qingying's two children have no barriers with me, so that's it.

After handing out the red envelopes, the children returned to their seats.

As the songs changed, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little lighter.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Just as I was looking at everyone having fun, a cry of surprise suddenly came from one side.

Qingying frowned and looked over, only to see Jingse, who had been fine just a moment ago, suddenly slip off the chair.

The palace maid's screams were still ringing in her ears, but Qingying had already slammed the table and stood up.

"What's going on? Xiuxia, go check it out!"

But Xiuxia had just moved her feet and had not yet reached Jingse when another cry of pain came from below.

When he turned his eyes again, he saw that the noble man had a look of pain on his face and was slumped over the table.

After two people got into trouble one after another, the hall suddenly became a little noisy.

Hongli stood up suddenly and said, "What happened to your noble lady? Come, go and take a look!"

Without Hongli's instructions,惢心 had already led people and hurried over.

What followed was another series of exclamations.

惢心's face turned pale, and she hid the trace of panic on her face.

He walked a few steps to Qingying and whispered, "Empress, your Highness has seen blood!"

Although the sound was not loud, it was loud enough for Hongli to hear clearly.

"How dare you, how could this happen..."

Before he could finish his words, he realized that some of his relatives were still around, so he shut up.

Your lady has not yet reached her due date, and now she is bleeding. If things go wrong, she may have a miscarriage.

Since the matter involves the royal heir, it is no wonder that Hongli was so excited.

"Quick, tell someone to carry the nobleman to the side hall, and take Jingse with him!"

The sudden scene scared everyone so much that they dropped their chopsticks.

The children were immediately gathered by their mothers.

The Queen Mother had a cold expression on her face, but she was not in a hurry to speak because she was not sure what had happened.

But you don't have to wait long.

Not long after, Zhang Xun hurried back and came close to Hongli.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jingse and Concubine Ling both show symptoms of having taken oleander. I have already prescribed a prescription and now we are just waiting for the antidote."

Oleander?

Looking past Hongli, the empress dowager's gaze subconsciously fell on Qingying for a moment.

But he moved immediately.

"Who is in charge of today's palace banquet? How could such filthy things be allowed to be eaten by the concubines and the palace maids?"

The Queen Mother shouted angrily, and Concubine Zhao was so frightened that she quickly stood up and knelt in front of her.

She was still a little confused.

Even if she had some conflicts with Jingse, it was impossible for her to harm her at the New Year's Eve palace banquet!

How could I possibly do such a blatantly stupid thing!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I..."

"I heard that the Empress trusted Concubine Zhao, and since the previous Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was so well-organized, she asked you to organize this year's New Year's Eve Palace Banquet to give you some experience. How come this is the only way you can get some experience?!"

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother was furious when poison appeared at the palace banquet.

Before Zhaopin could say anything, the Queen Mother said, "Jianqiu, call all the imperial physicians on duty today and check every detail of the meals in the palace!"
