Regardless of whether this matter is important or not, Her Royal Highness must be told now.

In the afternoon of that day, Qin Shuhuang received a letter from Gu Yuling from Shao Gongzheng's people.

In the letter, Gu Yuling expressed her guess about the fifth princess Qin Shuchun.

After reading the letter, Qin Shuhuang handed it to Xie Xuanye next to him.

"Did the fifth princess know the secret of Concubine Liu Gui and Prince Ping? So she was imprisoned by Concubine Liu Gui?"

Xie Xuanye nodded, "It's very possible. In this case, I'm afraid it won't be long before they take action. We must prepare our defenses immediately."

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Do you think they will choose this day?"

Xie Xuanye's eyes met Qin Shuhuang's, and both of them showed confirmation in their eyes.

Every year during the third festival, a family banquet is held in the palace. If the Prince Regent and Prince Ping are interested, this is the nearest and best opportunity!

The day of Dragon Boat Festival arrived in a blink of an eye.

The weather during this year's Dragon Boat Festival was not good. Early in the morning, the sky was overcast, as if a heavy downpour was brewing.

A few days ago, the palace had posted that a family banquet would be held in the palace on the Dragon Boat Festival, and all relatives, friends and important officials would be invited to the palace for the banquet.

Qin Shuhuang sat in front of the dressing table, letting Ruihe Ruimiao and others dress him up.

Her morning sickness has improved a lot in the past few days, she can also eat some food, and her complexion has recovered visibly.

Even before putting on makeup, she was already radiant.

Shilan took the Jiangnan powder newly sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and prepared to show off her skills to give Qin Shuhuang a beautiful makeup so that Her Royal Highness the Princess would shine at the banquet today.

Just as he was about to put makeup on Qin Shuhuang, Qin Shuhuang pushed away the powder that Shi Lan had brought.

"No need for this, just make me look more haggard."

Although Shilan was puzzled, she still followed Qin Shuhuang's instructions.

Shilan's skills were very good. She only applied some white powder on Qin Shuhuang's face to cover up the rosiness on Qin Shuhuang's cheeks.

She also gave Qin Shuhuang a light-colored eyebrow makeup, and finally applied lipstick that was similar to the color of her lips. In this way, a haggard and sickly beauty appeared in the bronze mirror.

Xie Xuanye dressed up as Xuan Cang and escorted Qin Shuhuang's carriage with his bodyguard on horseback.

Half an hour after the carriage from the Princess's Mansion set off, the carriage from the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion set off from the gate of the mansion.

Sitting in the carriage was Xie Zhuo, who was wearing the mask commonly used by King Zhenbei.

Today, the royal family and important ministers will all come to the palace for the banquet.

The banquet was arranged in Yuzhao Palace.

When Qin Shuhuang entered the palace, many royal family members and ministers had already arrived in Yuzhao Palace.

When Qin Shuhuang entered the banquet hall, everyone saw her, and only a few people came to greet her.

When everyone saw her haggard face, they all sighed and commented behind her back.

Although Qin Shuhuang was valued as a woman in the court, no matter how good she was, the King of Zhenbei did not accompany her to the banquet, which shows that the King of Zhenbei was extremely dissatisfied with the eldest princess.

Recently, I heard that the emperor is in poor health, and it is said that the emperor is still at odds with the eldest princess. I am afraid that before long, Dawu's court will completely fall into the hands of the regent, and the royal siblings will truly fall from the clouds.

No wonder Qin Shuhuang's face looked so bad.

If it were them, their faces would probably be even worse!

Qin Shuhuang was helped to sit down by the maid beside him.

Not long after, the regent also came to the hall.

Different from the indifference when Qin Shuhuang arrived, many people crowded around the regent and got close to him.

The regent was like the head of a large family, surrounded by stars and the moon in the center.

When King Ping arrived, some of them went to pay homage to him.

Both the regent and Prince Ping were countless times more powerful than the eldest princess Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang sat in his seat for almost half an hour before King Zhenbei arrived. Qin Shuhuang and King Zhenbei were arranged together. They sat side by side, but they were like a pair of strangers in the eyes of others, let alone Qin Shuhuang and King Zhenbei. .

The banquet invited royal children and important ministers to come one after another.

Qin Shuhuang actually saw Gu Hongchao near the main hall gate.

At this time, Gu Hongchao was wearing a poinsettia red official uniform, raising his wine glass and talking to the officials next to him in high spirits.

Qin Shuhuang twitched the corner of his lips. It seemed that Prince Ping was really willing to spend a lot of money. The official position of the third-rank minister of etiquette was given to Gu Hongchao. Compared with his previous life, it was even worse.

At this time, the maids began to serve the dishes.

Qin Shuhuang didn't expect that there would be fish in today's banquet.

In order to prevent her from getting sick again, the entire kitchen in the Princess's Mansion was completely free of fish.

Now that he smelled the fishy smell again, Qin Shuhuang couldn't help but gag.

Even though Xuan Cang had already asked someone to take the fish down immediately, Qin Shuhuang still reacted.

Shilan Shiyu quickly helped Qin Shuhuang go to the side hall next door to change clothes.

Xuan Cang also followed Qin Shuhuang with a worried look on his face.

Others may not pay much attention to where Qin Shuhuang is sitting, but Gu Hongchao has been watching covertly.

Seeing Qin Shuhuang's reaction, Gu Hongchao's face darkened.

Bai Lingge was pregnant before and asked a doctor. After the doctor examined Bai Lingge, he explained many things for the maid to pay attention to. He was by his side, so he listened.

The doctor said that pregnant women should not smell fishy odor and should pay attention to their daily diet and try not to eat fish.

At that time, Bai Lingge couldn't even use fishy eggs, and his reaction was exactly the same as Qin Shuhuang's!

Could it be that this bitch Qin Shuhuang is pregnant?

But when she went to Beidi, King Zhenbei didn't follow her at all. But just now when she reacted, King Zhenbei who was sitting next to her didn't seem to see him and didn't even ask a question. Instead, Xuan Cang behind her had a full face. Worry...

Gu Hongchao's fists on his knees clenched instantly.

His eyes narrowed dangerously.

The evil seed in Qin Shuhuang's belly is probably not King Zhenbei's, but Xuan Cang's!

This pair of adulterers must have hooked up while Qin Shuhuang was at the Gu family!

I wonder how King Zhenbei will deal with this bitch Qin Shuhuang if he finds out about this.

Even if King Zhenbei doesn't care about Qin Shuhuang, he will never allow his wife to be pregnant with another man's child!

After resting for a while in the side hall, Qin Shuhuang returned to the main hall.

At this time, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony sang loudly, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone got up.

After a while, Qin Shumin led people into the hall.

He was thin, his face was pale and bluish, and the clothes that originally fit him now seemed to hang on him.

Hearing everyone's salute, Qin Shumin raised his hand, as if he had no strength to speak.

It was Xiao Rang who was standing next to him and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, please stand down and take your seats."

After sitting down, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

After Qin Shuhuang sat down, Xia Qianwei knelt down next to him and took good care of Qin Shumin.

After the banquet begins.

Qin Shumin, who was wearing a dragon robe, seemed to be a foil. The important ministers came forward to toast the regent, but no one stopped beside Qin Shumin.

Many people even toasted to Concubine Liu Gui and Prince Ping, but Qin Shumin became the backdrop for everyone.

In the hall, there were people drinking wine, cheering and laughing, but none of this seemed to have anything to do with Qin Shumin and Qin Shuhuang.

When the Dragon Boat Festival dinner reaches its climax, the imperial city has been plunged into shouts of killing... (End of this chapter)
