The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 72 - Sudden Vomiting

The Emperor had a good tolerance for alcohol, accepting every drink offered to him.

However, he had already drunk seven or eight cups of wine without eating any food, so his face naturally turned a bit red.

Lin Guifei immediately gave Dong Yuzhong a look and then said,

"Your Majesty, you should eat something first. Drinking on an empty stomach can make you feel very uncomfortable."

Dong Yuzhong nodded and stepped forward to serve the Emperor some dishes.

As usual, he picked a bit of everything.

The Emperor chose a few dishes and started eating. The taste was similar to what he remembered.

However, he suddenly thought of the meals he had eaten at Xianyi Hall and found the current food somewhat tasteless.

There weren't many concubines accompanying him, and throughout the meal, the Emperor didn't hear any movement from Lin Wanyi's side.

Through the pillars, he couldn't see clearly, only catching a glimpse of her profile.

He thought to himself that she was really good at avoiding work. Someone who usually spoke so well didn't even stand up to say a few words today.

Before Emperor Yuwen Hong could say anything, Lin Guifei spoke first.

"Your Majesty, don't just drink. The Imperial Kitchen has made a new dish today. It's made with the best pork drizzled with osmanthus honey, and roasted until the skin is crispy. Your Majesty and the sisters should all try it. I think it looks quite delicious."

After she finished speaking, the palace maids entered in a single file, placing a plate on each table.

The dish indeed looked glossy and smelled fragrant.

The Emperor, having just drunk some wine, found it best to eat some meat to balance it out.

After taking a bite, he didn't find it greasy, only crispy with a faint fragrance.

"Not bad, the Imperial Kitchen has indeed put effort into this dish."

Receiving the Emperor's praise, Lin Guifei's smile became even more pronounced.

"Sisters, you should all try it too. The Emperor thinks it's good."

"Yes."

Then the concubines started eating.

Lin Wanyi looked at the plate of meat, and her urge to vomit became uncontrollable.

What others found fragrant and appetizing, to her, became a nauseating smell, and the sound of her retching overshadowed the cheers in the hall.

Everyone looked over.

Seeing Lin Wanyi covering her mouth with one hand and patting her chest with the other, Yi Fei was the first to scold.

"The Emperor is here, and Lin Changzai dares to behave so rudely. What is the meaning of this?"

Hearing this accusation, Lin Wanyi wanted to defend herself, but as soon as she let go of her hand, the smell of the meat hit her nose again, making her nauseous.

Yi Fei was furious.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to disgust me on purpose?"

She was about to get angry when Lin Guifei intervened.

With a look of excitement in her eyes, she turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that my sister is experiencing morning sickness? I remember when I was pregnant with Mingruo, I couldn't stop vomiting like this."
