Chapter 549 Hosting a Banquet

"emperor."

Fang Yun came out of the house to greet him. When he saw him, he bowed and saluted.

"What are you busy with today?" Pei Yao pulled her up.

Fang Yun curled his lips, "I was talking about the emperor with the maids, but coincidentally, the emperor came."

"Talk about me? It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise you would be sad." Pei Yao took advantage of the situation and made a joke.

"The emperor knows how to make fun of people." Fang Yun snorted lightly and immediately pulled him into the room, "Your Majesty, come here, I have something to tell you."

After entering the room and sitting down, Fang Yun brought out a picture of autumn chrysanthemums and said with a smile.

"September is the best time to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs. When I talk to the maids today, I feel very greedy. When I think about it carefully, except for the holidays, there are rarely busy banquets in the palace. This time I went back to Qinheyuan to escape the summer heat. I didn't take all the concubines with me. Although the concubines who didn't go didn't say anything, they were jealous in their hearts. In addition, Xu Lingyi had a miscarriage, which made her sad for a long time. Now everyone is She is depressed and doesn’t like to talk anymore, so I thought it would be better to hold a small banquet for appreciating chrysanthemums and eating crabs to make the palace lively.”

At this point, Fang Yun paused before continuing.

"The Queen is tired from staying in the palace during this period, so I would like to discuss it with the Emperor. Why don't I host this banquet so that the Queen can relax a bit."

After hearing what she said, Pei Yao naturally had no objection.

Originally, he was in a very good mood today.

So he nodded immediately, "The palace has not been lively for a long time. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I did not hold a banquet in Qinhe Garden. Now that I have returned to the palace, it is time to hold a banquet and gather the whole palace together. It just so happens that I also want to take a look at some children."

"Children like to be lively the most. They are the happiest when holding a banquet." Fang Yun's eyebrows were filled with tenderness when he mentioned the children.

After the matter was settled, Fang Yun informed the harem of the matter when he paid his respects the next morning.

This was a banquet held at the head of Yuzhang Palace, and everyone was surprised.

However, seeing Fang Yun in a good mood, everyone thought about it and finally attributed it to Qinheyuan and his party. Fang Yun had monopolized the favor for two months. He was in a good mood and wanted to show off.

This can be regarded as human nature.

Although some people felt slightly uncomfortable, no one said no. The queen also smiled and said that she would definitely be there.

The next day, the Yuzhang Palace became lively.

Except for Hu Lingyi and Lan Liangyuan, who were still grounded, everyone else was present, including Luo Cainu.

Fang Yun thought that there were not many concubines in the harem, so he invited them all to a banquet.

Luo Cainu was very happy anyway. Except for the palace banquets during festivals, she had no chance to eat good food. Needless to say, the banquet at Yuzhang Palace was definitely sumptuous.

Since entering the palace, she has forgotten what crabs taste like.

So after the banquet started, the other concubines were chatting and laughing, talking about the beauty of the autumn scenery, but she was the only one sitting in the corner with her head down, eating non-stop.

"It's really interesting." Fang Yun couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Luo Cainu's appearance.

Su Xin stood by and waited on her, smiling as well, "She's really good-natured and not pretentious at all."

"It's a pity. It's not easy to protect yourself after entering the palace. Such a person should be free outside the palace." Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and said immediately, "It's hard for her to have the chance to eat these. Ask someone to come up. When it’s time to serve the food, put more in it.”

"Yes." Su Xin nodded.

Seeing Luo Cainu's situation, Fang Yun couldn't help but think of the time when she was still in the boudoir. She couldn't eat much food every day and was very greedy. There was a banquet at home, and when she could eat on the table, she was full of food. Eat vigorously.

I'm not afraid of other people making fun of me either. If I get caught, it's a good meal.

At that time, I hoped that my aunt and sister would feel that she was not worthy of the spotlight and would be too lazy to talk to her. If they ignored her, they would not make things difficult for her.

Thoughts flashed by, and his eyes focused again. Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him and the rich clothes on his body, Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you have a weak spleen and stomach. I ordered you to warm some wine, which can offset some of the coldness of the crabs." Ruoyu came in from outside and stood beside Fang Yun.

Hearing this, Fang Yun nodded with a smile.

When Ruoyu leaned over to pour her wine, she asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Are you ready?"

"It's all set." Ruoyu responded in a low voice.

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, and immediately after Ruoyu poured the wine, he looked at the queen with a smile.

"Madam, crabs are cold in nature. If you eat too much, you may feel unwell to your spleen and stomach. I have ordered people to warm up the rice wine. I just tasted it and it tastes good. Why don't you bring some for all the sisters to try?"

"Well, I may not have had a drink for a long time, so today is a good time to taste the good wine in your palace." The queen smiled gently.

Fang Yun nodded and ordered the maids to come up one by one to pour wine.

While everyone was waiting to taste the wine, suddenly there was an exclamation from the seats.

Everyone looked around and saw that the maid pouring the wine accidentally fell down, and the hot wine in the pot spilled on Xu Lingyi's body. Xu Lingyi shouted in shock.

The maid serving the wine also turned pale and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Oops! Xu Lingyi forgives me, Xu Lingyi forgives me, I didn't mean it!"

"Lingyi, are you okay? Are you burned? Let me take a look!"

Xu Lingyi's personal maid, Hongdou, hurriedly came forward.

Seeing this, Fang Yun stood up quickly, frowning, "Call the doctor quickly, the wine is still a bit hot, the clothes are thin, and Xu Lingyi's skin is delicate, don't get burned!"

"Yes, slave girl, go right away!" Ruoyu nodded.

Without giving anyone a chance to refuse, he ran out immediately.

"Su Xin, quickly take Xu Lingyi to the side hall to tidy up, and give Xu Lingyi a set of my new clothes." Fang Yun ordered neatly.

"The slaves obey."

Su Xin nodded and immediately went over. Together with Hong Dou, she helped Xu Lingyi leave.

The movement was so fast that no one else could react.

The queen felt strange in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

After secretly looking at Fang Yun for a few times, he didn't find anything strange, so he had to suppress his thoughts and didn't say anything more.

Although there was such a small episode, the banquet ended smoothly.

When everyone left from Yuzhang Palace, Fang Yun thoughtfully prepared some snacks specially made in the kitchen of Yuzhang Palace for everyone to take back to eat.

All in all, they are warm and thoughtful, and you can't fault them.

So much so that the queen felt that Fang Yun was probably not showing off his favor, but rather trying to win people's hearts.

In this regard, Luo Cainu said that she did not know whether others were being bribed, but she was.

The imperial concubine was really kind-hearted. She not only invited her to the banquet, but also allowed her to eat and take the food. She could see that there was a lot in her bowl.

She kept this good thing in mind.

However, Fang Yun didn't have time to understand Luo Cainu's gratitude at this moment. After everyone left, Dr. Zeng came over.

"How about it? What can you find out, sir?"

"Xu Lingyi's pulse is indeed abnormal, but there are not many traces of the contraceptive medicine that the empress suspected, which is not enough to prove it. However, Wei Chen found out another strange thing."

"My lord, just tell me."

"Xu Lingyi's pulse shows no sign of miscarriage."

After hearing what Dr. Zeng said, Fang Yun was startled and sat upright immediately.

"Your Excellency, may you be sure? This matter is not trivial."

"As time goes by, it will be impossible to notice it after she has fully recovered. However, Xu Lingyi's miscarriage has only been less than two months old. No matter how well she recovers, her pulse will show up. But when Wei Chen checked her pulse, there was no miscarriage. trace."

Imperial Physician Zeng looked determined and answered seriously.
