One smile at the cup plate (below)

  Yunzhu almost burst out laughing when she heard this, and it would be even more wonderful if Hongli heard it. She glanced at Liu Shi and Zhang Shi, who were pretending to be turtles, and Yunzhu casually swept a glance over the three of them, seeing that they had closed their mouths in embarrassment, before picking up her chopsticks to eat a piece of fragrant fried yellow fish meat.

  Wasting food is shameful... in the end of the world, where can you find such good things to eat?

  "Here it is!" Duan Rou was the first to notice the palace maid carrying a tray of zongzi, and saw that the zongzi on the yellow-glazed red plum-patterned plate were small and exquisite, with green reeds and lovely colors. They were just enough for one or two bites, and looked exactly like the small green zongzi with five-colored silk threads and tassels hanging from the jade swallow pins on Si Shu's head. Her eyes lit up: "Si Shu, what flavors are these?"

  "Mangosteen glutinous rice, crystal glutinous rice, lotus seed paste glutinous rice, honeyed glutinous rice, chestnut glutinous rice, spicy glutinous rice, pickled mustard green glutinous rice, cured meat glutinous rice, mushroom glutinous rice, eight-treasure glutinous rice, fruit glutinous rice, tea leaf glutinous rice..."

  The fillings of zongzi in the palace only include salted meat, salted egg, red dates, bean paste and eight treasures.

  "In the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, Yunzhu calmly counted, 'However, what filling is inside can't be seen from the outside, I can only say that even if you eat until you're full, it's not certain that you'll be able to try all the flavors.'"

  Her bright eyes shone like clear water, like a lovely Persian cat. After swallowing her saliva, she had never heard of so many types of zongzi and Hui's gentle face-to-face gaze, it was intentional, must be intentional...

  "Fourth sister, prepare a portion for me, I'll take it back to Nan San Suo and eat slowly." Fu Hui's eyebrows were curved, and with two or three mouthfuls, he could finish eating, haha.

  Yunzhu's eyes were fixed on Fukui's radiant smile, thinking to himself that this kid was probably a natural-born schemer, reacting so quickly.

  "Yes, Fourth Sister, me too." He and Hui Duanrou said in unison.

  "Good." She thought that the bright little friend would definitely like it, and let people do a lot more, sending them to the Fu Cha Mansion. Calculating this way, apart from relatives, the Emperor, Empress, Xi Fei... Ah, all have to be sent.

  There's no way around it, that was just how life was in ancient times. You couldn't favor one side over the other, especially after getting married. You couldn't have a good time with your birth family while neglecting your husband's family.

  Eating the delicate and lovely, flavorful and varied delicious small dumplings, Fulinga and others couldn't help but acknowledge Yunzhu's cleverness.

  "What a beautiful fruit zongzi!" He Hui couldn't help but exclaim, and everyone looked over to see that the snow-white glutinous rice was wrapped around no less than five kinds of fruit particles, red, green, and purple, like jewels in the snow. It really did look good. Seeing Fu Hui and Duan Rou's eyes shining with desire, He Hui quickly stuffed the zongzi into her mouth. No choice, there was only one flavor of small zongzi on the plate, didn't want to let others have it, so she could only hurry up and eat it herself! "So delicious..." The sour sweetness of the various fruits, along with the sticky smooth texture of the glutinous rice, was really fantastic.

  She gently picked one from the plate and continued her surprise, "Hmm, what flavor is this?"

  "It's green tea." Yunzhu said with a glance, continuing to eat and drink.

  ……

  "I'm done for, I feel a bit dizzy, I'll head back first, you all carry on." Supporting her hot and dizzy head, Yunzhu leaned against Su Wen and barely managed to say to the people present.

  Duan Rou and the others saw that her face was flushed, her eyes were hazy, like a drunken begonia on a spring day, and they hastily said: "Fourth sister is leaving." They had also eaten enough.

  She nodded, and Yunzhu walked back with the support of Suwen and Lingzhu. The Qing dynasty's dinner was around 3 pm, and in May, the sun was already very hot. After drinking a lot of wine and walking for a while, Yunzhu felt extremely hot and restless. Just then, she saw a rattan chair in a shaded corner of the garden, behind which were clusters of flowers that she couldn't quite make out. She walked over to it with an unsteady gait and lay down on it, unwilling to get up again.

  Su Wen looked at Ling Shuo helplessly. "You go back and get a cloak, I'll stay with the master." Ling Shuo said. Su Wen nodded and hurriedly left.

  Su Wan took a hundred flower flying butterfly embroidered cloak and hurried back, colliding with Hong Li who was returning from the banquet in the Qianqing Palace. He frowned at the cloak on her arm and said: "Why did you come to get the cloak? Where is Fugui?"

  Su Wen bowed slightly: "Reporting to Master and Madam, the mistress... is drunk asleep in the garden."

  "Can wine be drunk in excess, and yet you don't advise against it? What's the use of having you around... Can't even show the way?" Similarly, after drinking a lot at the Qianqing Palace, Hongli heard this and thought to himself: "How much wine did they drink?! They actually fell asleep in the garden! What if they catch a chill or get trampled by others?"

  Under the fiery pomegranate flowers, a beauty in a light green dress with peach-red embroidery and soft satin fabric leaned back in a rattan chair, fast asleep with her eyes closed. Her skin as white as snow was flushed with enticing red hues under the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves of the flowers. The colorful tassels on her head swayed gently against her cheeks... until he felt an itch in his heart. On his body still hung a sachet made at the same time as the tassels on her head, filled with wormwood.

  "Yunzhu?" He rushed forward, ignoring the Linghui guarding one side, and carefully and gently hugged her into his arms. "Let's go back to the house to sleep." He covered her with the cloak that Suwen had brought.

  She opened her eyes and saw him, softly humming a sound, then snuggled into his chest to continue sleeping.

  What's called a charming glance, intoxicating and carefree, without any embellishment... Is that it? Hongli was electrified by her unintentional glance, his whole body numb, he wanted to get up, but felt somewhat powerless.

  He cursed this place under the bright sky once again, and could only hold the beauty in his arms in a daze... attracting Ling Xiusu's questioning and astonished gaze. Why haven't you left yet?

  Like a drunken cloud, he came to the banquet with a vigorous spirit.

  "We're leaving too." The party was so dull without Fourth Sister, and without the male lead, the quarrels among these concubines were also not worth watching, just a few back-and-forth jabs. After thinking about Hui Duanrou and Fu Hui, they had eaten enough, and they also left with a smile.

  "Ah, sister, my body is a bit uncomfortable, I'll leave first." Gao Luomiao wouldn't pretend to be innocent in front of Fuling A and Keli Yuetuo. The smile full of seduction and the waist-twisting action almost blinded the two people. "Qingwu?"

  "Master." Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

  Fu Chuo, Fulinga also patted her belly and stood up, took a deep breath, and said to the two of them: "Once you're pregnant, it's hard to sit for long. Two sisters, I'll go first." Hum, how can we let Madame Gao walk in front?

  Kerrie's body trembled all over with new anger, Lan Xi hurried forward, "Master?"

  "We're leaving too." He suddenly stood up, ignoring the two concubines who were still chewing on their zongzi, and quickly followed the two people in front of him. Losing a battle doesn't mean losing the war.

  The moment has finally arrived! Yunzhu transforms her thoughts into a sharp blade that shoots towards Korieyette, aiming for the agate bead bracelet on her wrist—

  The string of pearls suddenly broke open, and the round beads rolled and scattered in all directions. Two of them jumped forward and slid under Fulinga's feet and those of her personal maid Chunhua. "Ah!" a shrill cry rang out as Fulinga discovered herself falling forward.

  What's even more frightening is that Chun Hua also fell down with him. Her hands couldn't lend any strength at all, only forward...

  Gao Lü Wei and Qing Xiao subconsciously dodged to the side——

  "Bang!" At the critical moment, Chunhua burst forth with astonishing power, using force to pull Fulingya into her own body. Unfortunately, the strength was too small, only half of her body... She fell and heard her master's mournful cry: "Ah, it hurts, my belly..."

  "Hurry, go get someone!" After being shocked for a moment, Gao Luowei came back to her senses and shouted. Her meaningful gaze shot towards Kaliyate's stunned face. A faint smile curled up at the corner of Gu Xin's lips.

  This smile, as if it appeared on the devil's face, made Gu Xin startle and scream, grabbing Lan Xi's hand tightly: "Quickly call the imperial physician!" The pearl, the pearl is hers, what to do?!

  ……

  Fortunately, the location of the incident was not far from Fucha's delivery room, and soon someone heard the cry and moved her to the prepared delivery room! Despite all precautions, an accident happened on May 5th! Ping Ya hated it so much that she almost bit her teeth to pieces, staring at Koriyate with a gaze that seemed to want to tear her apart.

  "Mother, mother, it hurts so much..." Fucha's tears fell straight down, and she couldn't help but almost faint.

  "Master, you must hold on! The imperial physician is coming, don't forget the little prince in your belly!" Ping Ya hurriedly whispered in her ear, reminding her.

  "Dr. Qi has arrived!"

  "Hurry, Qi Taifu, hurry and take a look at our master's wife." Ping Ya was very anxious, having suffered such a severe impact, and seeing Fuling Ah so painfully struggling. If they didn't quickly deliver the child, she feared that both mother and child would be in danger of losing their lives. But she also feared, "It's said that children born on May 5th, boys harm their fathers, girls harm their mothers... if this child is born today, I fear it won't bring joy to Master Beile..."

  "Prince Bao has arrived!" Hongli was just about to take a short rest with Yunzhu in the house when he was called out, although he was still fuming with anger, but since it concerned his own children, he was also very worried and hurried over.

  "What's going on here?!" He shouted at the chaotic crowd, "What are you all crowding around for? Don't you have anything better to do?!"

  Many palace maids and eunuchs immediately scattered in all directions.

  "What did the imperial physician say?" Hongli pressed down the anger in his chest and asked a palace maid.

  The palace maid replied in a trembling voice: "The imperial physician has administered a labor-inducing medicine... saying that the master was severely injured, if we don't hurry up and give birth to the child, I'm afraid both the mother and child will be in danger..."

  "Get out."

  He turned to face the stunned Gaoruiwei and the kneeling Kexiuyet, his expression cold as he said: "Now can you tell me what's going on? The mistress just left for a moment and this kind of thing happens, you two are really... shameless!

  "It's all the fault of the maidservant!" Gu Xin cried and kowtowed, "After the two princesses and Eighth Brother left, my sisters and I also finished eating and returned to our rooms one after another. The maidservant followed Lan Xi at the end, but didn't expect that halfway through, the agate bead string on her hand broke and scattered on the ground. Two beads rolled under the feet of Princess Fuling and Spring Flower... Eldest Sister Gao and Qingwa walked in front, hearing the sound, dodged to the side... Everything happened too quickly, we all didn't react in time, only Spring Flower pulled Princess Fuling before she fell... The root of everything is that the maidservant's bead string suddenly broke, please punish her!"

  Was the pearl necklace really just suddenly broken? Hongli narrowed his eyes and looked at Koritei, who was crying with red and swollen eyes in front of him. He thought about the rumors he had heard with Yunzhu in the garden before, and thought about how cold he had been to her these days... Was it really not her revenge?!

  "What Gu Xin's sister said, goes. The maid was walking in front and didn't know what happened either, only heard a sharp cry, and subconsciously dodged, if the maid hadn't dodged, Fu Ling wouldn't have...". Gao Lu wiped her slightly red eyes, looking guilty.

  "If it weren't for Master calling out in time..." Qing'e said in a timely manner beside him, earning a hidden glance of appreciation from Madame Gao.

  ……

  "What's most important now is Fuling and the child, absolutely cannot have any accidents at this time." A pair of soft small hands grasped his, a gentle voice like a clear spring instantly clearing his mind quite a bit.

  Yes, what day is today? May is a poisonous month and the fifth day of the month is a poisonous day. On this day, evil spirits are rampant and the five poisons emerge together. It's just an unlucky birth time for that prince, but even ancient figures like Mengchang Jun and Song Huizong were born on this day... Later, they'll be fine. You should know that early in the morning, I accompanied the Emperor to the Temple of Heaven to avoid the five poisons, and inside the palace, we inserted iris and wormwood to drive out evil spirits, burned Atractylodes and Angelica dahurica to ward off plagues... If someone still died, wouldn't it be a terrible omen?!
