There was singing and dancing at the banquet.

After Song Qingwan sat down, Haitang whispered, "Why did you take such a risk, young lady? I was so nervous just now..."

Song Qingwan said, "Concubine Qing saved me when I was in danger, so I have to save her from danger too."

Concubine Shen heard the two people's whispered conversation, so she deliberately said, "Concubine Yu was so brave just now. She was nearly eight months pregnant, but she still risked her life to run around. I really admire her!"

On the other side, Concubine Kang continued the conversation and said leisurely, "Concubine Shen, don't forget that Concubine Qing's power is increasing day by day. Now she is in charge of such a big event as the prince's banquet. It is not surprising that Concubine Yu is rushing to curry favor with Concubine Qing~"

Concubine Shen pretended to be concerned and said to Song Qingwan, "Concubine Yu, you don't know, when you stood up to speak for Concubine Qing just now, I was very worried..."

Song Qingwan watched her performance indifferently.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Mr. Shen!"

Concubine Shen picked up another dish from her table and gave it to Song Qingwan. "Concubine Yu, I heard that everyone is different. How about you try this dish on my table?"

Song Qingwan blocked her hand with hers and said, "Thank you, Lady Shen, but I'm pregnant now and I don't dare to eat anything else. I believe Lady Shen will forgive me!"

Concubine Shen got herself into trouble and withdrew her hand.

"Yes, yes, Lady Yu is right. I was negligent. But I think the dish in front of you is not bad. Have you tried it?"

Song Qingwan denied, "Not yet."

Concubine Shen deliberately raised her voice a little and said, "Then try it! Concubine Qing knows you are pregnant, so she prepared this especially for you!"

Concubine Qing seemed to hear someone calling her, so she turned around and said, "Are the sisters talking about me?"

Concubine Shen smiled and said, "Yes, my lady, I am recommending to Concubine Yu the dish you carefully prepared for her!"

After hearing this, Concubine Qing asked, "Have you tried it, Noble Lady Yu? Does it suit your taste?"

Song Qingwan shook her head. "Not yet."

Concubine Qing said expectantly, "Try it. If it doesn't work, ask the imperial kitchen to improve it."

And the other side

After Imperial Physician Chen checked Concubine Yu's pulse, he returned to the Imperial Hospital to sort out the medical records. After he was almost done, he prepared to go to the Hundred-Day Banquet.

Usually, the imperial physicians would wait in a side hall after the banquet began, in case there was an emergency and the imperial physicians were there to watch.

After Doctor Chen finished packing, he set out on the road to the banquet. As he was walking, he was suddenly bumped into by a young palace maid holding a pen and ink.

The black ink left a large stain on Doctor Chen's court robe. Doctor Chen looked at the little palace maid angrily and said, "Which palace are you from? How can you be so reckless? Don't you even look at your feet when you walk?"

The little maid replied timidly, "My Lord, it's all my fault. I just entered the palace not long ago and took the wrong road. My master was in a hurry, so I could only hurry to send it over..."

Doctor Chen looked at the young palace maid and said a few words to her, but did not argue with her any further.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just go back and change my clothes. You should go and report back now!"

Upon hearing this, the little palace maid said gratefully, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!" and then she was about to slip away quickly.

Doctor Chen asked again, "By the way, which palace are you from? Since the master is in a hurry, why not hand it over to an experienced palace maid, but to you, a young maid who has just entered the palace and is unfamiliar with it?"

The little maid was suddenly questioned by this voice, and she stopped walking. After thinking for a while, she said, "I am from the imperial concubine's palace."

"It is because I just entered the palace, and those experienced palace maids handed over all their own work to me..."

The little maidservant was almost sobbing as she spoke, and in fact she was on the verge of tears out of anxiety.

Doctor Chen saw this and said, "Well, go now! Don't delay anything."

The little maid said solemnly, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. When I finish my mission, I will come back to compensate you with a set of clothes!"

Doctor Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, that's not necessary. Go ahead."

The little palace maid then left. Doctor Chen lowered his head and looked at his body. There were large stains all over his body. He was afraid that he could not go before the emperor like this.

Today is the fifth prince's hundred-day banquet. There are many relatives and guests at the banquet, and the queen and the queen mother are also present. Doctor Chen had to go back and change his clothes before going.

But when he returned to the Imperial Hospital and took off his soiled clothes, he found that his other change of court robes was missing!

Doctor Chen tossed and turned on the bed but couldn't find it.

"Strange, where are my clothes? Where did my clothes go? I clearly remember putting them here..." Doctor Chen was searching frustratedly.

Doctor Chen muttered to himself, "Today is a banquet, I can't go in casual clothes. The other doctors all wear court robes. These old guys don't like me. If I go in casual clothes again, they will report me again!"

Meanwhile, at the banquet

Noble Lady Shen asked her to try it. Song Qingwan originally planned not to eat it, but the enthusiastic Concubine Qing also asked her to try it. Song Qingwan thought that this banquet was hosted by Concubine Qing, and she should not harm her.

So I took a bite and put it in my mouth, it tasted really good.

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Are you okay? Does it suit your taste? This is the dried fish fillet I prepared especially for you! I heard that it helps you grow the belly but not the meat!"

After hearing this, Concubine Shen continued, "Concubine Yu's baby is not big enough~"

After hearing what Concubine Shen said, Song Qingwan felt a little uncomfortable, but she knew that the more you paid attention to Concubine Shen, the more embarrassed she would be.

So Song Qingwan ignored Concubine Shen and said to Concubine Qing, "Your Majesty, the mushrooms are fragrant and the fish is tasty. I think it's very good!"

Concubine Qing said, "If it's delicious, eat more. There's also another dish of steamed eggs with swimming crab!"

After hearing this, Song Qingwan took another bite of the steamed egg and put it into her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, she immediately showed a painful expression and almost wanted to retch.

Concubine Qing asked, "How is it? This dish was recommended to me by Concubine Shen. I heard it is also very good for pregnant women."

When Song Qingwan heard Concubine Shen's name, she couldn't help but vomit.

Xiao Rui immediately noticed the movement from Song Qingwan's side and asked, "What's wrong? Why did this happen out of nowhere? Drink some water and rinse your mouth."

Concubine Qing said, "Lady Yu, you have a beef bone and carrot soup. Why don't you drink some of it to calm your nerves?"

Haitang anxiously filled a bowl of the soup in front of her and handed it to Song Qingwan. However, after Song Qingwan drank it, she vomited even more violently.

Xiao Rui walked down anxiously and said, "Quick! Clear water!"

Concubine Shen pretended to be concerned and said, "Concubine Yu was fine just now, but after eating the soup I recommended, she started retching non-stop. Why not send a royal doctor to take a look as soon as possible!"
