In a blink of an eye, the year has come to an end, and Yan Shichong, who has been in the rules for a month, is ready to move again at this time.

He knew that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace was extremely grand every year, and there would be two kinds of state banquets and family banquets.

The family banquet is the best time for Shi Guifei to start.

So Yan Shichong sent someone to secretly inform Concubine Shi Guifei and asked her to act at the family banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After receiving this information, Concubine Shi was very worried. She knew that the family banquet in the palace was not only rich in dishes but also had a complete set of rituals, and there must be many people present during the whole process, and Yan Shichong meant to let her start in the process of serving medicinal food.

So how do you do that?

Shi Guifei thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

However, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Shi Guifei felt dark in front of her when she got up in the morning, and then vomited.

The palace maids hurriedly asked, "Guifei Niangniang, do you need to ask for a doctor?" ”

Shi Guifei thought for a while and said, "No, give me a glass of boiling water." ”

However, when she drank the boiling water, she vomited wildly, and after this toss, the whole person was weak, so she had to be supported by the palace maid and lay back on the bed.

"Guifei Niangniang, do you need to inform the queen or the emperor?" Seeing that her face was pale, the palace maid asked quite uneasily.

"No, I'll just lie down for a while." Shi Guifei said.

The maid served her to lie down, and closed the window a little smaller.

"You all go down, I want to rest for a while." Shi Guifei said again.

Several palace maids hurriedly retreated.

Shi Guifei gave birth to a child, so she knew what it meant.

She hadn't had her period for nearly two months. That means she is likely to be more than a month pregnant. However, in the past two months, because the emperor's health was not very good, they did not have the same room at all, but she and Yan Shichong had two separate dates, so this child is undoubtedly Yan Shichong's.

She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, and she sighed and closed her eyes.

But I couldn't sleep.

She decided to go and see Yan Shichong tonight.

Late that night, she changed into palace maid clothes and walked briskly in the direction of the back door of the palace with the two palace maids.

Since the doorman who managed the back door was familiar with her, she was able to leave the palace without much difficulty.

She asked Yan Shichong to meet in a park deep in an alley.

"Why are you still asking me out at this time?" As soon as he saw Yan Shichong, he couldn't help but reprimand her.

"I can't help it, but I have to tell you about it, or I won't be able to sleep tonight." Shi Guifei said tremblingly.

"What's the matter?" Yan Shichong's tone softened.

"I ...... I think I'm pregnant. Shi Guifei said in a low voice.

"So what? You're not just with me. Yan Shichong sneered.

"But by the day, it's yours. The emperor and I haven't had the same room for two months. She said.

The other party was silent for a moment.

It was dark and she couldn't see his face clearly, but she panicked. She hurriedly asked, "What do you say I should do?" It's not easy for me to have an abortion in the womb. ”

"Who said you had a miscarriage. I'm wishing I had a child of ours. He said, turning around and putting his arms around her.

Shi Guifei suddenly burst into tears.

"Why are you still crying when you say you stay?" He was a little angry.

"But how should I explain to the emperor? Did you do this on purpose? Shi Guifei asked uneasily.

"As long as they don't ask, you don't know what to do. Anyway, didn't you be with the emperor two months ago? Ten or twenty days is nothing. Yan Shichong comforted.

"Uh-huh. I'm just worried that they'll dig deeper. She said.

"Who in the palace will know what is going on between us? Since everyone can't think of it, naturally there will be no doubts in this regard. Yan Shichong said again.

Shi Guifei was a little more settled. Then he said, "I am not very sure of what will happen tomorrow." ”

"Anyway, give it a try, as long as you start with a clean one, you won't be noticed."

"What if, I mean what if. What will you do if something happens to me? Shi Guifei asked, pressed against his chest.

"Naturally, I will do whatever it takes to save you." Yan Shichong said.

"How can you save it?" She asked.

"I promise you won't ...... over this," he didn't say, but she already knew it.

She let out a long sigh and said, "I'll do my best." ”

"I know, so don't worry, just do what you planned."

"Will you come to the palace that day?" She asked, looking up.

"Yes, but not at a family feast, so as not to be suspected." He said.

"And when are you coming?"

"I'll go after the family dinner."

"Okay." She replied mechanically, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious.

By the time she returned to the palace, the east had turned white, and the ladies of the morning shift had already begun to get busy.

She only felt weak and hurriedly lay down on the bed/rest.

She spent the whole day thinking about her actions at night, and went to the banquet several times in person.

In the evening, all the royal families (princes, princes, concubines, princesses) gathered together.

Everyone, you say a word to me, the scene is very lively.

Concubine Shi's eyes always followed Empress Kuang as if she were nothing.

Soon, the feast began.

Everyone took their seats one by one according to their assigned seats.

The meals are very rich, and there are many ceremonies on the table, so the meal takes a long time.

After most of the hour, it was finally time to serve the medicinal meal, and Shi Guifei became nervous unconsciously.

She quietly turned around and entered the imperial dining room on the pretext of being in the official room.

"Give me an extra spoon, the one I used just dropped on the floor." Shi Guifei said to the person in charge of the kitchen.

The man hurriedly took a clean spoon out of it and gave it to her.

Shi Guifei took the spoon and flashed into the next room.

She glanced left and right, and after making sure that there was no one else around, she quickly applied the powder from the bottle to the spoon, and then walked in the direction of the imperial dining room.

At this time, the people in the imperial dining room happened to be walking towards the family banquet site with the medicinal soup.

Shi Guifei saw the man with the queen's bowl of soup and walked over.

"Well, today's soup is good, just by smelling the smell, you know that it is boiled enough." Shi Guifei said.

"Yes, this soup has been boiling for two hours." The man serving the soup replied respectfully.

Shi Guifei chatted with him.

When passing a turn, Shi Guifei gently touched his hand with her elbow, and his hand trembled suddenly.

"Be careful." She said as she reached for the tray and swapped the medicated spoon for the one on the push plate.

When this bowl of medicinal soup and the medicated spoon were placed in front of Queen Kuang, Shi Guifei's heart trembled. Then she told herself - don't worry, it would take two months for the poison to kick in.

However, she found that Empress Kuang had never drunk the bowl of medicinal soup.

The more Shi Guifei looked, the more anxious she became—she shouldn't have noticed it, right? (To be continued......)
