She said affectionately, "Mother, this year's gift, besides my brother's, is mine the most pleasing to you?"
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
The Queen Mother was particularly amused by Minghui's lovely appearance and responded with a smile.
"That's not the case. This year, your brother's gift doesn't even rank first among my gifts."
A hint of surprise flashed in Minghui's eyes.
After hearing this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, with a barely perceptible interest on his face.
Seeing her curiosity, the Queen Mother continued.
"This year's gift from Concubine Chun Shu is called the Pisces Auspicious Omen. It is truly exquisite and the design is also unique and novel. The red and white agate is something I have never seen before. The carving effect is even more exquisite. I like it the most."
When Su Jingyao heard the Queen Mother mention her, she quickly stood up and saluted with a smile on her face.
"Since the Queen Mother likes this gift, it can be said that it was not in vain."
Su Jingyao knew in her heart that this gift would definitely not be bad, and she also expected that the Queen Mother would like it, but she did not expect that the Queen Mother would give it such a high evaluation.
Then she had to thank Emperor Qianlong very much, because this pair of fish omen was given to the empress dowager by Emperor Qianlong.
She was just trying to please him by borrowing his idea.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good, worthy of being a gift from the emperor of a prosperous era.
Jun Zechen glanced at her with a slightly surprised look.
She is always so clever. I remember when she first entered the Eastern Palace, the Queen Mother often punished her, but now even the Queen Mother likes her.
The banquet gradually ended in a lively atmosphere, and then Jun Zechen led everyone to the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The concubines above the rank of ninth concubines were graceful, the ministers above the third rank had solemn expressions, and the princes and princesses also stood with dignified manners on the high platform outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Everyone looked down and saw another gift that His Majesty had specially prepared for the Queen Mother.
The performance, involving hundreds of people, was grand and shocking.
The beating of drums and gongs, the changing of formations, the brandishing of swords and guns, but it does not appear messy, but rather particularly orderly.
As the formation changed ingeniously, the birthday congratulations were clearly presented: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother on her thousand years of longevity, and may you have great blessings and great fortune."
The smile on the Queen Mother's face never faded. Being paid homage by all the ministers and being above everyone else, this feeling was the pinnacle.
Su Jingyao stood behind Jun Zechen, her expression becoming increasingly ugly.
Because she had taken the medicine before, her menstrual period became irregular and her stomach had begun to ache slightly.
In this life, she has always maintained excellent health and has never experienced the pain of dysmenorrhea.
At this moment, her little face had become pale and bloodless, but because of the makeup, it was not noticeable unless you looked closely.
Miaoyun on the side looked at her with concern. Su Jingyao endured the pain and shook her head gently at Miaoyun.
It was not until Jun Zechen announced that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was over that the imperial concubine standing by secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This Queen Mother's birthday banquet was a great opportunity for her to show herself in front of His Majesty, the Queen Mother and the ministers.
Now that everything has come to a perfect end, she naturally feels much more relaxed.
She longed for His Majesty and the Queen Mother to affirm her abilities.
After the banquet, Miaoyun carefully supported Su Jingyao. Su Jingyao now almost leaned all her weight on Miaoyun and slowly moved down from the platform step by step.
"ah."
Suddenly, a palace maid let out a low cry of surprise. She seemed to have been tripped by something and fell straight down.
Seeing this, the imperial concubine and An Zhaorong quickly moved away.
However, Su Jingyao really had no strength at this moment.
She changed her mind and decided to take advantage of the situation and fell down as well. However, Miaoyun held her tightly the whole time, so she was not actually hurt.
When Jun Zechen heard the voice, he turned around quickly and saw Su Jingyao sitting on the ground, leaning on Miaoyun.
His face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"What's going on?!"
Jun Zechen's eyes instantly flashed with cold light, and his icy gaze swept across everyone like a sharp sword, finally fixing firmly on the fallen palace maid.
The maid hurriedly climbed up in a panic, her face full of fear and her voice filled with anxiety.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. Someone just pushed me. I..."
Jun Zechen didn't give her any extra glances. He walked straight to Su Jingyao and slowly squatted down, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Su Jingyao only felt that her stomach was in extreme pain.
She had dysmenorrhea in modern times because she was an orphan, had an irregular diet, and was not in good health.
Every time I have period pain, I feel like I am dying.
After coming here, she has taken extreme care of her body.
Today I experienced this kind of cramping pain in my lower abdomen again, and it hurt so much that my head felt dizzy.
The whole person seemed to be exhausted and could not utter a word.
Seeing this, Jun Zechen picked the person up without hesitation.
"Excuse me, Imperial Physician!"
Then, Jun Zechen, with an anxious look on his face, held her gently and steadily, and hurriedly stepped onto the imperial carriage.
Then, at Jun Zechen's command, the imperial carriage quickly headed towards Zhaochun Palace like an arrow.
After arriving at Zhaochun Palace, Jun Zechen put her on the bed.
