Is it because of the protective energy that Li Changyu mentioned?
Thinking about it, Mi Shan couldn't help but look past the dancers performing in the middle and towards Li Changyu, who was drinking leisurely.
He seemed to have sensed Mi Shan's attention as well.
As he tilted his head back to pour the wine, his eyes darted around, looking in her direction.
Finish drinking.
The knuckles bent as they rubbed against the wine stains on the lips.
This seemingly natural action, in Mi Shan's eyes at that moment, seemed to have a different, deeper meaning.
Her face flushed red instantly.
Recalling the kiss in the pavilion at sunset, she couldn't help but lower her head.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red!"
Consort Qin took in her reaction, glanced around at everyone, and, finding nothing unusual, began to feel a sense of unease.
"Perhaps he can't hold his liquor," Mi Shan said casually, pressing the back of her hand against her burning cheek.
Consort Qin smiled but didn't say anything more.
Mi Shan had his reasons for placing her by his side.
She is currently pregnant, and if anything goes wrong at the banquet, she will definitely be blamed.
In this way, Qin Miaomiao's every move could be observed by her, and she wouldn't have to worry about Qin Miaomiao being ambushed.
To Mi Shan's surprise, amidst the grand banquet filled with music and poetry, Qin Miaomiao still suffered an accident right under her nose.
"Consort Qin, you have rendered meritorious service in bearing my imperial child, and I have not yet properly rewarded you. Since I am in a good mood today, why don't you tell me what you want?"
"Your Majesty, I have always wanted to move to a different palace. That side hall is too small, and I am not comfortable living there. It has also made me feel depressed."
Qin Miaomiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly echoed the emperor's words.
This was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.
"It's nothing! I thought it was some kind of request! Your Majesty, see which palace is vacant, and grant it to Consort Qin to live in."
"Then let's go to Muqing Palace. It has a good location and a wide view."
"Your Majesty, I thank you! Your Majesty the Empress!" Qin Miaomiao sat down happily.
The moment he sat down, his expression suddenly changed. He clutched his stomach.
"Ah, Your Majesty, help!"
"My stomach hurts so much, and my body is so itchy."
She slowly gripped the armrest of the chair and squatted down on the ground.
"What's going on? Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
The emperor's expression changed drastically, and he stood up and strode toward her.
Even Mi Shan, who was standing to the side, was pushed back an inch.
Mi Shan didn't even have time to be surprised or suspicious.
Guo, the Imperial Physician, rushed over with his medicine box. After taking Qin Miaomiao's pulse for a moment, he said urgently, "Young Master, you have a food allergy!"
After saying that, he rolled up her sleeve and showed it to everyone.
"Look, her wrists are covered in red rashes, and her abdomen is throbbing with pain. She must have eaten something at this banquet that caused an allergic reaction!"
"I...I didn't eat much, just...ah, mung beans!"
"I saw that the pastries were exquisite and cute, and smelled sweet. They were made by my sister herself, so I wanted to try them. Who would have thought that they must have mung bean powder added to them?"
As soon as Consort Qin finished speaking, her sorrowful gaze turned to Mi Shan, and tears streamed down her face.
"Sister, you know I'm allergic to mung beans!"
