The next morning, as soon as the palace maid opened the curtain, an ambiguous smell came over her, and she couldn't help but frown.
The gauze curtain was opened by a hand as white as jade, "Serve me to dress."
Xiao Yuru lazily hugged the brocade quilt, her black hair hanging on her beautiful snow-white back.
It was full of color, and her face was still blushing after being loved, which made her look even more beautiful.
Xiao Yuru likes to eat fish very much.
It can almost be said that she is not happy with fish.
However, she vomited when she smelled the fishy smell at noon.
In a blink of an eye, it's the emperor's birthday.
In previous years, for seven days before and after the festival, a grand congratulatory ceremony would be held in the palace, and folk would also perform lion dances and firecrackers, singing and dancing, and the whole people would celebrate.
On the day of the late emperor's fiftieth birthday, dozens of miles of roads in the imperial city were decorated with lanterns and colorful stages.
Stages of various sizes were lined up in rows.
Whether they were sincere or fake birthday celebrations, operas were performed one after another, and everything you looked at was filled with peaceful and festive colors.
There are twenty items of hot dishes, twenty items of cold dishes, four items of soups, four items of side dishes, four items of fresh fruits, twenty-eight items of dried and fresh fruits, and twenty-nine items of snacks, cakes, cakes and other pasta, a total of one hundred Level 09.
It can be called extravagance and waste.
Now that the country is facing a national crisis, the emperor has no interest in making a big show of it, so he decides to keep everything simple and use the saved money as food and wages for the front line.
Although everything is kept simple, it still needs to be decent.
The ministers and officials tried their best to present congratulatory gifts to please the emperor.
The gifts should not be too shameful and valuable, but not too luxurious, so as not to make the emperor think that they were all well-off.
The concubines in the harem are even more distressed.
The annual birthday of the emperor is when they try their best to please the emperor, so each one is more nervous than the other.
But this year it doesn’t matter what the gift is.
Whether it is the white jade portrait of Guanshiyin from the South China Sea that the prime minister worked so hard to find, or the Buddhist scriptures that were excerpted by the queen, or the authentic calligraphy of the great calligrapher of the previous dynasty presented by Lu Zhaoyi Everything becomes meaningless with the presence of one person This person is naturally Concubine Xiao, who has been favored by the Sixth Palace recently.
Xiao Yuru held her breath at this moment, picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth and chewed it twice.
She only felt a strong smell of blood.
Before she could swallow it, she felt a rush of nausea.
She covered her mouth and retched a little.
Because I was really nauseous, I had to vomit it out, and then I got out of control and vomited all over the place.
The palace maids and eunuchs around her were frightened and thought she was poisoned.
The emperor quickly ordered the imperial physician to be summoned.
Lu Zhaoyi, who had given birth to a child, saw the clues and felt that Concubine Xiao might be pregnant.
When the imperial doctor came to check his pulse, he was really happy.
She was more than two months old.
If she counted the days carefully, she was probably pregnant at the time they were pregnant.
Today's steamed fish caused Concubine Xiao to suffer from morning sickness, which was also a strange thing.
With Concubine Xiao here, the charming concubines who had put so much effort into dressing up today have all turned into big white ducks next to swans, with no bright colors anymore.
It can only be said that Concubine Lu's good news was revealed at the right time.
Because her previous clothes were dirty, Xiao Yuru now changed into palace clothes.
She glanced at Emperor Zhaohua shyly and lowered her head, revealing her slender neck.
This makeup and clothes are specially designed.
Although she looks like she is pregnant, she is more attractive and has a different style than her usual delicate and soft appearance.
"Your Majesty, it was my concubine who actually vomited at the banquet and ruined your Majesty's mood."
Xiao Yuru whispered softly, her eyes filled with emotion.
Not to mention that the emperor wasn't angry, even if he was, he couldn't get angry at this time.
After all, this was his doting concubine, and he had to finish the script he chose on his knees.
"My beloved concubine's words are wrong.

I am so happy that Lin'er has been sent from heaven."
The emperor is very handsome, with a pair of slender sword eyebrows flying into his temples, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes that are shining brightly, always revealing when looking at people.
There is a sense of disdain, which makes people involuntarily feel fearful.
But when these eyes soften and look at someone lovingly, they are still very moving.
Being stared at by the emperor with his deep eyes, Xiao Yuru's heart beat like thunder and she didn't know what to do.
She touched her belly, sincerely hoping that there was a prince inside.
She glanced at Tang Ning, raised her chin slightly, feeling very proud, and then glanced at Lu Zhaoyi again.
Lu Zhaoyi's eyes showed unabashed admiration and sadness.
She had always been like this towards the emperor.
Every time she looked at him, she looked like a fly seeing honey.
No one knows you better than the person next to you.
Xiao Yuru didn't understand what was going on at first, but day and night, the emperor's ravings and his usual strange behavior made her understand one thing.
The emperor liked another concubine, and this person was definitely not the queen.
Finally the target was locked, Lu Zhaoyi.
It's not that she is so smart, but the ugly girl next to her is a bit powerful.
That day, she asked the eunuch and sent someone to inquire.
When she learned that the Holy Sage was indeed in the imperial study after leaving Fengyi Palace, she asked her personal maid to paint her eyebrows and put on light clothes, and then asked the small kitchen to stew.
A bowl of pearl white jade soup is ready to be sent to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped outside by Eunuch An.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet and dropped the bowl on the way.
While staying in the palace, the ugly girl came to report that it was Lu Zhaoyi who was staying in the imperial study that day.
Lu Zhaoyi is the only person in so many years who has successfully given birth to His Majesty's flesh and blood, so everything will make sense.
Xiao Yuru's eyes were so revealing that even Tang Ning from a distance could see it, not to mention the person involved, Lu Zhaoyi.
Lu Zhaoyi was not a fool.
As soon as Concubine Xiao stared at her, she knew that the other party did not want to see her.
Originally, Lu Zhaoyi's brows were full of sadness, her eyes were full of affection, and she seemed about to shed tears, but at this time, she tried not to cry.
Lu Zhaoyi stood there blankly.
She didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
Her heart was pounding, but the more pain she felt, the more awake she became.
It was normal for the emperor to hug him from left to right in the three palaces and six courtyards.
In the past, she was too stupid and naive to believe that the emperor had true love.
He had said before that he would protect her and give her a target.
She was moved by this intention, but she was not happy.
What woman doesn’t want to be favored openly by her husband and show off this favor to others?
Now that the emperor had allowed so many women to have children and loved Concubine Xiao so much, she suddenly felt a little hot in her eyes.
The newly appointed maid noticed something was wrong with Lu Zhaoyi.
She asked a few questions but got no answer, but her expression didn't look like she was uncomfortable, so she didn't know what was wrong.
Now that the Emperor, Queen Xiao, and all the concubines were there, it was not easy for her to ask, so she only glanced at Lu Zhaoyi worriedly.
Even she herself couldn't explain how sad Lu Zhaoyi was.
All she knew was that something suddenly shattered and turned into countless fragments that stuck in her heart, making her completely unable to distinguish what was true and what was false.
