Transmigrated, Enticing Him to Ascend

Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...

Chapter 33 Prince's Birthday Banquet

Jun Zechen held Su Jingyao's hand and led her slowly into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At this time, the hall was already full of people, but the current emperor was unable to attend due to illness.

The Queen sat dignifiedly on one side of the first seat, while the Crown Princess sat quietly on the other side, though her position was slightly lower in comparison.

"Youth pays respects to your mother," Jun Zechen said respectfully.

Su Jingyao was about to follow suit and perform the salute, but the queen on the high throne smiled and said kindly, "The concubine is in a heavy condition, so there is no need to perform the salute."

Su Jingyao smiled gently and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Queen."

Then, Miaoyun carefully helped Su Jingyao to sit down below the Crown Princess.

During this banquet, the concubines of the Eastern Palace sat below the Crown Princess, while the invited concubines of the harem sat below the Queen.

In addition to the women, the princes were also invited.

Jun Zechen sat at the top with a dignified manner, then raised his wine glass and officially announced the start of the birthday banquet.

"Today is my birthday, and I hope you will all share my joy with me at the family banquet."

As soon as the words fell, everyone raised their glasses respectfully and said in unison: "I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince great blessings and a happy birthday."

After that, everyone took a small sip of wine.

Then, the songs and dances carefully arranged by the Crown Princess were heard in the palace. The Queen sent Aunt Jinhua to assist the Crown Princess in organizing this banquet.

The tune is melodious and graceful, and the dance is magnificent, it can be said to be a masterpiece.

However, everyone present was used to watching court dances and did not show any special interest in these songs and dances.

The Queen sometimes communicated in a low voice with the concubines, and sometimes asked about Su Jingyao's condition with concern, but she never even gave the Crown Princess a glance.

Ling Yue sat quietly beside the prince, with a look of loneliness in her expression.

She knew in her heart that her mother still disliked her.

The birthday banquet was halfway through. Qiaoshan, the palace maid beside Tang Suxi, frowned tightly, looking worried, and she bent down.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Zhaoxun, who was sitting next to Tang Suxi, turned around and looked at Tang Suxi after hearing Qiaoshan's voice.

At this time, Tang Suxi's brows were tightly furrowed, and her originally rosy face turned as pale as paper. Fine beads of sweat continued to seep out of her forehead and rolled down one by one.

Before Shangguan Yi could think more about what was going on, Tang Suxi suddenly closed her eyes and fainted.

Seeing this, Qiaoshan, who was standing by, quickly reached out and held up her body as she was about to fall.

Although Shangguan Yi didn't want to get into any trouble, she saw Tang Suxi next to her in such a state.

He could only bite the bullet and stand up to reply: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Tang Fengyi has fainted."

When the people in high positions heard Shangguan Yi's words, they immediately turned their attention to Tang Fengyi.

Tang Suxi's position was really low, and the Queen did not have any special impression of her, but it was indeed she who chose Tang Fengyi to enter the Eastern Palace.

She was a little impatient. These women had better not play tricks at her son's birthday party!

She randomly gave a wink to the senior palace maid beside her, who understood what she meant and hurriedly, together with other palace maids, carefully helped Tang Fengyi to a side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and placed him there.

The prince frowned, "Call the imperial physician!"

There was confusion and worry in the Crown Princess' eyes. Why did she faint?

Doctor Li rushed over. As soon as he felt Tang Suxi's pulse, he was shocked.

Tang Fengyi is actually pregnant!

But she is showing signs of miscarriage!

Who on earth is so bold as to let such a thing happen at the prince's birthday party!

The Queen's maid was also shocked to hear that Tang Fengyi was pregnant and showed signs of miscarriage. She hurried into the hall and reported to the Queen.

With such an unexpected situation occurring, the queen could only hurriedly preside over the banquet, announce the end of the banquet, and then lead everyone into the side hall.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed Su Jingyao to arrange for her to take a sedan chair back to Xiyan Palace, after all, she was pregnant.

The prince sat quietly beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Tang Fengyi's paper-pale face. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, making it difficult to understand.

"Doctor Li, why is Tang Fengyi like this?"

Jun Zechen's voice was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Your Highness, Tang Fengyi is already two months pregnant. Logically, the fetus should be stable, but she may have eaten something cold today." Doctor Li replied respectfully.

"Doctor Li, the master didn't eat anything tonight, just some cakes."

Qiaoshan walked forward and replied anxiously, her face full of worry and anxiety.

"What kind of cake is this? Please show it to me."

Qiaoshan brought a plate of cakes to Doctor Li. Doctor Li picked up a cake and took a small bite.

As soon as he took the first bite, his brows furrowed tightly and his face looked solemn.

"Your Highness, Queen, Your Highness, this cake is made of Job's tears, and even has crab meat and turtle meat mixed in. These are foods that cannot be eaten during pregnancy."

"Crabs and turtles are cold in nature and can easily lead to miscarriage. Job's tears are slippery in nature and can cause uterine contractions in women. Even though Tang Fengyi doesn't eat much, he is in great danger now." Doctor Li sounded worried.

"I will immediately ask someone to prepare pregnancy-preserving medicine." Doctor Li said, and turned around to make arrangements.

After hearing this, the Queen's face turned gloomy and she directed her criticism at the Crown Princess.

He said sternly, "Crown Princess, you have reviewed all the food for the Crown Prince's birthday banquet. Why are there such cold pastries? Even if you don't know whether Tang Fengyi is pregnant, the concubine is pregnant, how can such food be served on the table?"
